We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J.

BREAKING: Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID.
Funny how that works. They announce this the day after he says he has “cancer”…. And now he’s going to quarantine for 10 days… so the media can’t ask him about his admission to having cancer.
How convenient!
And then….

Not to be morbid, but the photos of the procession leaving Ivana Trump’s Funeral Mass tell a tale. Did she really just fall down the flight of stairs? Ivana was the only family member not under strict security.
Bjorn Lomborg’s book False Alarm exposes a host of false claims by environmentalists, including the notion that warming has been producing more storms, drought, and floods. In fact, all of these have remained at the same level over the past 100 years. As Lomborg writes, “deaths caused by climate-related disasters have declined precipitously over the past century” (p. 73) — not because of fewer storms, but because increasing wealth has made it possible to protect ourselves from climate events. The real danger lies in useless spending on climate change that will bankrupt societies and make it impossible for their people to protect themselves.
The global economy has now constructed an entire edifice atop the myth of catastrophic man-made global warming, and activists like Gore collectively have made billions if not trillions of dollars off their predictions of doom. Environmental activism became a lucrative business, in the form of non-profit revenues and income from corporate consulting.
That seems pretty straightforward, right?
Economic contraction is the lowering of economic activity. Raise interest rates -in a general sense- and businesses invest less, borrowers borrow less, consumers purchase less, employers expand less, and the economy overall slows down. When the economy turns negative, meaning less products and services are produced, we enter a recession. Some businesses and employers do not survive a recession and subsequently unemployment rises.
During recessionary periods people buy less stuff, people have less income stability, and economic activity drops. When the banks raise interest rates into an economy that is already stalled or contracting, unemployment and general pain on Main Street increases. Workers are laid-off, incomes shrink, consumer spending drops and that leads to less employment. Recessions are bad for middle-class and working-class people.
However, that said, there is one benefit from a recession…. Energy use drops.
People travel less; businesses operate shorter work schedules; manufacturing stops; overall less goods are produced because less consumer spending is taking place. From the perspective of the groups who want to see overall energy consumption drop, a recession is a good thing.
The fertilizer crisis is as sure a sign as any that our overlords have no idea what they’re doing.
In 2022 there are questions hanging over America that remain unresolved, and the journalists who are supposed to bring us the facts refuse to investigate. Even worse, they seem to want to keep the truth from us. Unresolved issues and questions tend to fester and sow doubts. Here are some of the clouds hanging over America in July 2022:
Seth Rich’s death
Jeffrey Epstein’s death
Where are the twelve missing pen drives from the 7/19/2022 primary election in Baltimore?
Why do we keep sending money to Ukraine when we are 30 trillion dollars in debt?
Why are we allowing illegal aliens to flood into this country and rewarding these lawbreakers with social benefits?
Why can France hold a clean nationwide election in one day and we cannot?
Why are the riots of 2020 uninvestigated, but January 6, 2021, gets primetime coverage?
How did the Wuhan Flu get started?
Why is the media so disinterested in the questions about the 2020 election?
Is Joe Biden mentally competent to be POTUS?
A friend whose family had farmed the land for many generations once turned to me in the middle of a sweet-corn field and said he couldn’t imagine living in a place where it wasn’t possible for him to get out of bed, walk outside buck naked, and start firing off rounds without consequence. I nodded in agreement and then reminded him that I’d be there before sunup the next day. The laugh we shared was a nice respite under the baking sun, but his words have always stuck with me. I swear, I’ve learned as much in a cornfield as in a classroom. Maybe hard work and a connection to nature help purify the soul and elevate introspection, but farmers tend to be philosophers.
What my friend was describing, of course, is what we call freedom. And time after time in my journeys through life, I have stopped in my tracks to realize that I’d sacrificed the freedom of the cornfields for the artificial prisons society likes to construct. Those are surreal moments — when the mind of a farmer-philosopher kicks in and asks, “Why am I working so hard to lock myself up?” If you don’t have a good answer to that question, then it’s time to take a step back and choose a new direction. “No price is too high to pay,” after all, “for the privilege of owning yourself.”
Putin appeared at the ASI forum “Strong Ideas for a New Time”. A collection of 200 Russian elites and local leaders/representatives.
Putin points out the unfairness of the “Western Oligarchy”, (Deep State) and their total dominance of the world. Highlighting how their rule has impeded the advancement of all human civilization.
He goes on to correctly assert that the “globalist and supposedly liberal ideology is increasingly acquiring the features of totalitarianism.”
We’re supposed to ask for things that can actually be achieved.

[1] In my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and found him not. [2] I will rise, and will go about the city: in the streets and the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and I found him not. [3] The watchmen who keep the city, found me: Have you seen him, whom my soul loveth? [4] When I had a little passed by them, I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him: and I will not let him go, till I bring him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that bore me.
10“Hear the word of the LORD, O nations, and declare it in the coastlands afar off; say, `He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.’ 11For the LORD has ransomed Jacob, and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him. 12They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the LORD, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall languish no more. 13Then shall the maidens rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their mourning into joy, I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
1Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag’dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” 11But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb; 12and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rab-bo’ni!” (which means Teacher). 17Jesus said to her, “Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” 18Mary Mag’dalene went and said to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her.
As referenced above.
Have a great weekend.
To begin, as promised:
But what ever happened to that earthshaking revelation about covert operations by “the entire U.S. intelligence community”? In the nearly half-century since Watergate, we’ve never heard another word about it. Not from the Post, anyway.
There was always another big question about Watergate: why would the Nixon White House have wanted to burglarize Democratic headquarters in the first place? It was already obvious that Nixon was heading for a landslide victory. He didn’t need any DNC dirt. Even in the movie, an unnamed editor at the Post, played by John McMartin, tells Bradlee: “I don’t believe the story. It doesn’t make sense.” The motive for the burglary remained murky for decades.
While this particular piece itself is all about explaining that “All the President’s Men” didn’t tell the entire story – which it didn’t – the reality is, this is one in a series of pieces, interviews, books, and more that are steady coming together to rehabilitate President Richard Nixon’s reputation. The truth of the matter seems to be that Nixon was really NOT a Washington insider, and the swamp ran him out of town on a rail.
A lawyer from Nixon’s administration, Geoff Shepherd, wrote two books on the matter. From him we learn that “Tricky Dick” was a nickname given to Nixon by a liberal Democrat celebrity he ran against for Congress in 1950. It had nothing to do with his presidential races in the beginning. Nixon was the person in Congress to out Alger Hiss. For this, among the Intelligence Community, he was a marked man. He was not an insider, and neither were the three men known as “the Berlin Wall,” Bob Haldeman, John Mitchell, and John Ehrlichman. They were loyal Nixon people.
All of them had to go, whether the charges were true or not. (They weren’t.)
And now we are seeing Nixon’s legacy reformed. Why? Well, if Juan O. Savin is correct – and word is that he got mouthy about something and was subsequently cut off from juicy information right after he made this claim – Nixon was the one to teach/prime President Trump on how the establishment in the swamp would work to take him down. Richard Nixon died in 1994. If it is true that Nixon did this, President Donald Trump has been in the white hat loop for decades…and Richard Nixon did play a part in THE PLAN.
And those are my thoughts.
So…where are the woke city dwellers going to get their sludge…I mean, coffee?
Yes. It was the beginning of my red pill experience.

9Therefore I determined to take her to live with me, knowing that she would give me good counsel and encouragement in cares and grief. 10Because of her I shall have glory among the multitudes and honor in the presence of the elders, though I am young. 11I shall be found keen in judgment, and in the sight of rulers I shall be admired. 12When I am silent they will wait for me, and when I speak they will give heed; and when I speak at greater length they will put their hands on their mouths. 13Because of her I shall have immortality, and leave an everlasting remembrance to those who come after me. 14I shall govern peoples, and nations will be subject to me; 15dread monarchs will be afraid of me when they hear of me; among the people I shall show myself capable, and courageous in war. 16When I enter my house, I shall find rest with her, for companionship with her has no bitterness, and life with her has no pain, but gladness and joy.
14For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. 15And he died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 16From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer. 17Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come. 18All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
1And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal. 3And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. 4And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” 6And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

I will try to keep this brief – although that is hard, because I’m fighting against people’s “feelings” instead of facts.
When the other side LIES all the time, it creates a “feeling” that they’re lying about everything.
Yes, they ARE lying about everything – but the lies are often very sophisticated, being composed of a matrix of solid and hard-won truths, held together by crafty lies.
If you’re going to FIGHT BACK, then I say FIGHT BACK SMART.
Buckle up.
There has been a very successful strain of disinformation used to make our side seem very unconvincing to normies (to put it mildly).
That strain is the “there is no virus” deception.
Many times we tolerate this, because we don’t want to discourage our “fellow skeptics”, but it is critical that we refute nonsense on our own side.
In the past I’ve devoted occasional comments to putting down disinformation to the tune of “there is no virus” and “the virus was never isolated”, but after this last time, meaning yesterday, I’ve decided to just GUT this beast right on the dissection table, under the glaring lights of its own post, so that the “debunking” has its own URL, suitable for posting in response to well-meaning people on our side, who think “no virus” is a tenable position.
NO. It is not tenable. You are being BAITED into nonsense, so that you are no longer effective. You are being baited into becoming a “FEELZ” person, like reliable Democrats.
The “there is no virus” position is basically the “new flat earth” of biology. You’ll see why momentarily.
I want to thank Canadian Guest for bringing an example of this disinformation to the board for my consideration. Bringing some FRESH RATS to this SCIENCE HAWK is always appreciated.
This is why I don’t restrict the bringing of “propaganda” and potential disinformation here. We’re adults. We can DEAL with it – and often very usefully. I get more truth out of Russian “propaganda” than out of most MSM “explainers”. Funny how that works.
WE will be the judge of truth – NOT “them”.
Here is the video. Watch if you want – particularly after reading this.

There are some tells OTHER than what I’m going to talk about, that this is an interesting construction designed to derail critics of the vaccines. Tell me what you think “smells” like targeted disinformation in the comments.
Did CIA or FIB make this? Did Chinese intelligence? Who are these people?
One of the centerpieces of “disproving” that viruses exist, is to engage in passive-aggressive science using what are called “Koch’s postulates”.
Koch’s postulates were a brilliant set of standards from the beginning of microbiology, designed to help prove that an illness was actually caused by a microbe, rather than a bodily dysfunction of some kind.
Wikipedia has an excellent and quick presentation about Koch’s postulates AND the problems therein.
LINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch%27s_postulates
You can see a slideshow which explains Koch’s Postulates HERE:
LINK: https://www.slideserve.com/chione/koch-s-postulates
You would be very smart to notice something on the LAST slide.
One of the ways in which this happens, is that “pure culture” (stated in the second postulate) varies between a laboratory vacuum and a jungle floor. If you’re a “purist”, nothing will pass the postulates. If you’re laissez-faire about things, everything will pass. If you’re SMART about things, and demand a SMARTLY PURE culture, you will get great results, and Koch’s postulates will continue to work for even crazy things like viruses, prions, etc.
What’s up with viruses?
The problem is that viruses are not microbes in the same sense as bacteria, protozoans, and similar microorganisms which are well-handled by Koch’s original postulates, where “pure cultures” were “biologically sterile, but molecularly fertile” mixtures.
Viruses are, quite literally, molecular parasites. The transmission of viruses is both more demanding and less demanding on the nature of a “pure medium”, than is transmission of bacteria. Viruses transmit in a different way.
Viruses need almost nothing to survive in, but they need CELLS to reproduce in. Viruses do not grow in simple chemical brews. They need CELLS. Cells not only contain a lot of stuff of “their own” – they also contain a lot of viruses, AND the encoding for these and other viruses.
If you demand a “cell-free medium” for growth of a virus, you have basically sabotaged science “under the color of science”.
See how that works?
The history of Koch’s postulates, and the upgrading of Koch’s original postulates to take care of things like viruses, prions, etc., is discussed in THIS article:
NIH Summary: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC172879/
PDF of Article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC172879/pdf/090018.pdf
SO – you will almost always see some kind of reference to Koch’s postulates, in “there is no virus” disinformation. Koch’s postulates are the perfect “medium” for passive-aggressive anti-science.
BUT WAIT! There’s MOAR!
The next, and actually essential part of the disinformation, is the allegation that the virus behind COVID-19 was never isolated.
It was not only isolated early and often – it is ROUTINELY isolated, all over the world, in order that genetic studies OF THE VIRUS can be done.
Think of all the hundreds of thousands of scientists who gather “clout” in molecular biology by analyzing the RNA of a single virus, and thereby look for small changes in that RNA – meaning a few nitrogenous bases among hundreds of thousands. How do they “isolate” the RNA of the virus from samples taken from people? How do they NOT get a bunch of human nasal RNA, plus the RNA of all our OTHER embedded viruses, AND nasal bacteria, mixed up in the sample, screwing up the results?
It’s simple. They GROW THE VIRUS in a NONINFECTED cellular medium that LOVES the virus. They filter and separate the budding and “transmitting” virus from the cells. And then they check the RNA of the filtered virus.
WHICH LOOKS LIKE THIS!
“Pictures or it didn’t happen.”
You can even see the damn spikes! Of course, they didn’t really need to do this – the RNA is the real convincer – the FINGERPRINT – but a picture is helpful for the doubters.
Sure sounds like “isolation” to me!
One of the best ways to demonstrate this to you, is to simply READ YOU THE PAPER where the pictures came from – back in the early days of COVID-19.
This paper was “e-published” back in March of 2020, when “Wuhan Coronavirus” had just been renamed to “SARS-CoV-2” because of China and Democrats (more on that later). The paper was actually received in February, around the time I was recovering from the original Wuhan strain of COVID-19, or something immediately descended from it.
This is from a Japanese group located in Tokyo. This is not by any means the earliest research on SARS-CoV-2 virus. It’s an IMPROVEMENT paper. These guys are saying “Hey! It’s easier to isolate this damn virus using OUR new method!”
Here is a text version of the paper, emphasizing the abstract.

A novel betacoronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which caused a large respiratory outbreak in Wuhan, China in December 2019, is currently spreading across many countries globally. Here, we show that a TMPRSS2-expressing VeroE6 cell line is highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, making it useful for isolating and propagating SARS-CoV-2. Our results reveal that, in common with SARS- and Middle East respiratory syndrome-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 infection is enhanced by TMPRSS2.
As a bit of an aside, you will note that the editor is a Chinese researcher at an American university. The CCP has no problem pushing on the “social” buttons of American science, AND IT DOES. There was no way that the name “Wuhan coronavirus” was going to last. Think about it. This is subtle, but it’s the way things are now.
There are some nice graphics in the paper, too, including pictures of the virus.
It is EXTREMELY helpful to simply READ what the authors say, in recounting what they did.
I’ve put in BOLD what they DID.
Seven clinical specimens (throat swabs or sputum) obtained from seven SARS-CoV-2 infection cases were inoculated into VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells, which were monitored daily for cytopathic effect (CPE). These clinical specimens were deidentified prior to use, and this study was approved by the ethics committee of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japan (approval no. 1091). Informed consent was obtained from all participants, from which the subjects were obtained, or their legally acceptable representatives for sample donation. In five cases among the seven, clear CPE with detachment/floating (black arrows, Fig. 1B) and syncytium formation (white arrows, Fig. 1B) developed at 2 or 3 d postinfection (p.i.) (Table 1). The virus titers in culture supernatants of the five cases at 3 d p.i. were 4.6 × 106 to 6.8 × 107 median tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) per mL (Table 1). Typical coronavirus particles were detected by electron microscopy (Fig. 1C). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of case Wk-521 detected the nearly full-length genome sequence from SARS-CoV-2 with >99.9% homology (1, 2) (GISAID database ID EPI_ISL_408667). Unexpectedly, the NGS data showed contaminated mycoplasma sequences (Mycoplasma hyorhinis and Mycoplasma arginini) from VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells. CPE in VeroE6 cells persistently infected with SARS-CoV was enhanced by infection with Mycoplasma fermentans (8), but whether a similar situation exists for SARS-CoV-2–related CPE in this cell line is unclear.
The viral RNA copies in the clinical specimens used for virus isolation were estimated by real-time RT-PCR (9, 10). As expected, viral RNA copies in the clinical specimens in which CPE developed within 2 d p.i. were greater than those in the other specimens (Table 1).
VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells are superior to other cell lines tested in this study for SARS-CoV-2 isolation. Consistent with previous reports (2, 4), the amount of SARS-CoV-2 RNAs in the culture supernatants of Vero, Calu-3, and A549 cells 48 h p.i. was low and was measurably higher when VeroE6 cells were used. However, the viral RNA copies in the VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cell culture supernatants were >100 times greater than those from VeroE6 cells (Fig. 1 D and E). Data for SARS-CoV show that TMPRSS2 enhances its entry efficiency (5, 11). VeroE6 and VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells were infected with 10-fold serially diluted SARS-CoV-2 samples, and the infected cells were visualized by indirect immunofluorescent assays (Fig. 1E). The results showed that VeroE6/TMPRSS2 displayed ∼10-fold greater number of SARS-CoV-2–infected cells than the parental VeroE6 cells. These data suggest that, in common with SARS-CoV, TMPRSS2 may also play an important role in SARS-CoV-2 cell entry.
Pay special attention to THIS PART which is not highlighted above, but which shows the level of ATTENTION that was paid to the results.
Unexpectedly, the NGS data showed contaminated mycoplasma sequences (Mycoplasma hyorhinis and Mycoplasma arginini) from VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells. CPE in VeroE6 cells persistently infected with SARS-CoV was enhanced by infection with Mycoplasma fermentans (8), but whether a similar situation exists for SARS-CoV-2–related CPE in this cell line is unclear.
See what I was talking about with a “pure medium”? These mycoplama are very common contaminants of cell cultures. Note that these scientists are not HIDING the presence of contaminants in their “pure” medium. On the contrary, they’re saying they spotted the contamination, and are accounting for it.
The bottom line is that these people know exactly what they are doing, dealing with the tricky nature of Koch’s postulates under the realities of working with viruses – some of the hardest biology that can be done.
And THAT brings me to a personal observation.
Science is a game that everybody CAN play, and I would go so far as to say it’s a game that everybody SHOULD play. You should be teaching your kids science and art, in exactly the way you should teach them football, baseball, and ice skating.
And just like with PROFESSIONAL SPORTS, in which people who you respect make errors that you call out, it helps to RESPECT the pros of science – EVEN AS YOU POINT OUT THEIR ERRORS, WHICH YOU SHOULD.
We don’t believe professional athletes are “always right” – why should you believe the same things about scientists?
Back in my laboratory days, I had a couple of “lucky insights” connected by a lot of hard work, and they demonstrate how science gets past obstacles, including in particular other scientists.
Dissatisfied with my seemingly unexciting assigned research project, I was in the perfect mood when a colleague of mine drew something very interesting on the blackboard with a big chalk “X” through it.
“Why doesn’t this work?” was my question.
My colleague gave a reason that didn’t seem right to me, and then stated that he was abandoning that project. I asked if he minded if I tried it. He didn’t mind – he had already gotten a new assignment from our boss.
I picked up the gauntlet, and got things to work the very first time. The big chalk “X” was wrong. My insight was correct.
Happy that the abandoned research project was back in play, our boss allowed me to take it over and pursue it.
Pushing the idea through on a small scale, I actually got the entire project to work – but not to the satisfaction of skeptics. We didn’t have “clincher” proof. We needed to scale up to get that level of proof.
Scaling it up, however, failed. It took a lot of very interesting science to understand the whole process, and scale it up to the level that was necessary to convince the skeptics.
The problem was, not ALL of the skeptics were convinced. One skeptic, at the last minute, needed proof that would require even MORE scaling up.
The problem THERE is that NOT EVERYBODY could do the work.
When others could not duplicate my results, I was forced to do the even bigger scale-up myself, AND to do it under intense scrutiny, to figure out why *I* could do it and others could not.
The result was obvious proof that I had gotten it to work. The skeptic’s harassment had led to a magnificent NEW proof that neither we nor the skeptic had fully predicted. We had exceeded the level of proof that the skeptic demanded.
HOWEVER, this left open a subject that nobody really wanted to talk about.
Why weren’t others able to duplicate my results?
The sad fact is, science is filled with people who do not practice the habits necessary for success. They are not PERSISTENT when they need to be. They are not INSIGHTFUL in trying to get around problems. Even more importantly, they are not HOPEFUL that they CAN get around problems. This failure to have hope in overcoming obstacles is a HUGE problem in science. But likewise, many are not sufficiently DUBIOUS in trying to spot thousands of small potential problems, and doing what is necessary to prevent them. We have to be SKEPTICAL, too.
Even when we’re skeptical, sometimes we’re not skeptical enough. An excellent example is provided by the tragic death of Karen Wetterhahn, who died of dimethylmercury poisoning, when a few droplets of dimethylmercury splashed on and penetrated one of the thin latex gloves she was wearing. This was the level of protection recommended at the time, but it was not enough.
Karen had protected her coworkers by doing the work herself, instead of exposing THEM to the danger. She did the work “to code”, but it was still not enough. Part of her legacy is the habit of scientists in later years to use two or even three layers of gloves, when handling dangerously toxic and reactive substances. Many will use “one more than recommended” of just about any safety measure.
We have to LEARN and RETAIN thousands and thousands of such habits just to do some of the simplest scientific operations, like weighing out a substance properly.
The boss who I mentioned above loved to say “All the easy stuff has been done.” It’s SO true, even though it’s obviously an exaggeration. That is why there are amazing recent discoveries – every once in a while – of things that COULD have been discovered many years prior, and which were simply missed or overlooked. But for the most part, it’s true. Almost all of the easy and obvious stuff has been done.
So what is my point?
The trick is, criticizing it and BEING RIGHT. And you do NOT have to be an “expert”, or even a scientist, to be right.
Oh, yeah, it’s hump day.

More next week. That bison just needs a caption.
Hey, y’all, did you know it’s summer?
Yeah, they do stuff like this:
The people behind the Biden campaign, those in real control of what this is about, have not hidden their goals and aspirations.
These are not stupid people.
They are scheming, conniving, ideological, ever-planning, ever-manipulating & Machiavellian types within the political system, lusting for power, influence and affluence.
WASHINGTON DC – The Biden administration is considering the declaration of a climate change emergency in response to congressional inaction on the issue.
It’s unclear when and if such an announcement will come, though the White House had been considering a move as early as Wednesday.
Two sources familiar with the discussion on Tuesday morning told The Hill that the announcement could come Wednesday — the same day that Biden is expected to discuss climate during a trip to Massachusetts.
A third source also told The Hill that a climate emergency was under White House consideration.
By Tuesday afternoon, one of The Hill’s sources said that while the White House had planned to declare the emergency as soon as Wednesday, it has since advised that it will not do so on that day.
The Associated Press separately reported Tuesday afternoon that the White House would hold off from a declaration on Wednesday.
It’s friggin’ summer. If the government hadn’t wasted all the reservoir water, this could be done again…just like it was for decades.
Summer in the city. Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty. Been there, done that. For decades.
This is going to get Twitter heavy, but here’s the open tabs:
Gee, ya think? Follow the $$$. Always.
Why? Well….
The place where Joe Biden face planted into the concrete falling off his bike last month has been named as ‘Brandon Falls’ on Google Maps.
Someone has managed to place a landmark in the Delaware location, naming it after the infamous ‘Lets go Brandon’ chant, which was initiated after the White House claimed Nascar fans were not chanting ‘F*ck Joe Biden’ when they totally were.
At time of writing, ‘Brandon Falls’ is still listed as a ‘historical landmark’ on Google Maps.
I’d say some people have too much time on their hands, but that’s funny right there.
The waddler might get primaried? Oh, that would be so cool.
The protests over higher prices are spreading:
How long before it hits here?
Seriously, it looks like the current administration is just making things up as they go along.
It’s the little things.
And God had other plans.
DO NOT FORGET IN THE EXCITEMENT OVER THIS that Eric Schmitt is running for the Republican nomination for Senate here in Missouri against former Governor Eric Greitens, and he is behind. Ads here are featuring Ted Cruz and mentioning the fake affidavit from Greitens’s ex regarding violence against her. Schmitt is the establishment pick, methinks.

And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:
Per the Boss:
And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

1The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilki’ah, of the priests who were in An’athoth in the land of Benjamin, 4Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, 5“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” 6Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” 7But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, `I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you you shall go, and whatever I command you you shall speak. 8Be not afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD.” 9Then the LORD put forth his hand and touched my mouth; and the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. 10See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
1In thee, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! 2In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline thy ear to me, and save me! 3Be thou to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for thou art my rock and my fortress. 4Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. 5For thou, O Lord, art my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth. 6Upon thee I have leaned from my birth; thou art he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of thee. 15My mouth will tell of thy righteous acts, of thy deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge. 17O God, from my youth thou hast taught me, and I still proclaim thy wondrous deeds.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.
And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another, as well as Gil, RDS, Bakocarl, Nora, Cthulhu (who is getting prayers whether it’s life threatening or not) and any others facing serious health issues right now..
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.
That’s a little to true.

This is a fantastic point. So you have to ask yourself – who is really in control?
Not sure how many of you have noticed, but Trump was not lying when he said he would drain the swamp. I know plenty saying “well when will the swamp be drained??”..
My answer: It HAS been drained. What were to happen should you drain a swamp? You expose all the shit at the bottom.
And that is exactly what we are seeing now – all the shit at the bottom so it can be cleaned up.

More from over the weekend, just clearing out the tabs in no particular order. Reading pieces are mixed in with news. Some headlines were actually brought here by participants, and they bear repeating.
All of us anons have been digging on the individual foundations and institutes; however, we missed the target because there is something much bigger, and it is hiding in plain sight. When I went to St. Louis for Bards Fest, someone took me aside and said you need to dig into Arabella Advisors. I had never heard of them before.
Then I got my shovel out, and what I found was frightening and required to be understood if we were going to fix our elections in America. As Q said, “Important to understand for future events.” I believe this is the Third Pillar of Election Integrity.
The Clinton Foundation is at the center of it with a dark money group called Arabella Advisors.
Personal witness to watching one of those planes hover. They are LOUD.
We need more of this, actually. Thank you, Sister.
Something to remember, always.
Per the boss’s instruction:
I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.
Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.
Your weekly reminder to take the pledge:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
Wheatie’s Rules:
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
“Please placeholder under arrest.”
Have another great week!
Now that the COVID psy-op is falling apart, and we are fully resistant, we’ve overcome the COVID psy-op (GOOD), and we’ve been battling elsewhere (GOOD), but we may have lost some of our razor-sharp focus on, and ass-covering knowledge of, how to deal with COVID, and to thereby not go down for the count when COVID comes our way (BAD) .
Two recent comments by Scott and Aubergine show that COVID is still circulating, and that we are surviving without the vaccines, thank you kindly, “Dr.” Fauci.
The deal is, Omicron is still out there. In fact, so is Delta.
https://nextstrain.org/ncov/gisaid/global/6m
You can see that Omicron is everywhere around the world, vaccinating people against Delta, but Delta and its “old school buddies” still persist in small measure.
SO – I want to help give everybody a BOOSTER of several things:
Please put your most recent COVID observations and experiences HERE, so that they can be found easily in the future, for historical reference, AND so that you can share your experiences, thoughts, strategies, and tactics with your fellow QTreepers.
Likewise, if you have questions, curiosities, and concerns about COVID, this is an excellent place to get some replies.
Thanks!
This Rejoice & Praise God Sunday Open Thread, with full respect to those who worship God on the Sabbath, is a place to reaffirm our worship of our Creator, our Father, our King Eternal.
It’s also a place to read, post, and discuss news that is worth knowing and sharing. Please post links to any news stories that you use as sources or quote from.
In the QTree, we’re a friendly and civil lot. We encourage free speech and the open exchange and civil discussion of different ideas. Topics aren’t constrained, and sound logic is highly encouraged, all built on a solid foundation of truth and established facts.
We have a policy of mutual respect, shown by civility. Civility encourages discussions, promotes objectivity and rational thought in discourse, and camaraderie in the participants – characteristics we strive toward in our Q Tree community.
Please show respect and consideration for our fellow QTreepers. Before hitting the “post” button, please proofread your post and make sure you’re addressing the issue only, and not trying to confront the poster. Keep to the topic – avoid “you” and “your”. Here in The Q Tree, personal attacks, name-calling, ridicule, insults, baiting, and other conduct for which a penalty flag would be thrown are VERBOTEN.
In The Q Tree, we’re compatriots, sitting around the campfire, roasting hot dogs, making s’mores, and discussing, agreeing, and disagreeing about whatever interests us. This board will remain a home for those who seek respectful conversations.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus makes seven statements beginning with the words I am. Each of these “I am” proclamations furthers our understanding of Jesus’ ministry in the world. They also link Jesus to the Old Testament revelation of God.
Here are the seven metaphorical “I am” statements found in John’s gospel:
“I am the bread of life” (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51). In this chapter, Jesus establishes a pattern that continues through John’s gospel—Jesus makes a statement about who He is, and He backs it up with something He does. In this case, Jesus states that He is the bread of life just after He had fed the 5,000 in the wilderness. At the same time, He contrasts what He can do with what Moses had done for their ancestors: “Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die” (verses 49–50).
“I am the light of the world” (John 8:12; 9:5). This second of Jesus’ “I am” statements in John’s gospel comes right before He heals a man born blind. Jesus not only says He is the light; He proves it. Jesus’ words and actions echo Genesis 1:3, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”
“I am the door” (John 10:7 and 9, ESV). This “I am” statement stresses that no one can enter the kingdom of heaven by any other means than Christ Himself. Jesus’ words in this passage are couched in the imagery of a sheepfold. He is the one and only way to enter the fold. “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber” (verse 1, ESV).
“I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11, 14). With this “I am” statement, Jesus portrays His great love and care. He is the One who willingly protects His flock even to the point of death (verses 11 and 15). When Jesus called Himself the good shepherd, He unmistakably took for Himself one of God’s titles in the Old Testament: “The Lord is my shepherd” (Psalm 23:1).
“I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). Jesus made this “I am” statement immediately before raising Lazarus from the dead. Again, we see that Jesus’ teaching was not just empty talk; when He made a claim, He substantiated it with action. He holds “the keys of death and the grave” (Revelation 1:18, NLT). In raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus showed how He can fulfill Yahweh’s promise to ancient Israel: “[God’s] dead shall live; their bodies shall rise” (Isaiah 26:19, ESV). Apart from Jesus, there is neither resurrection nor eternal life.
“I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). This powerful “I am” statement of Christ’s is packed with meaning. Jesus is not merely one way among many ways to God; He is the only way. Scripture said that “The very essence of [God’s] words is truth” (Psalm 119:160, NLT), and here is Jesus proclaiming that He is the truth—confirming His identity as the Word of God (see John 1:1, 14). And Jesus alone is the source of life; He is the Creator and Sustainer of all life and the Giver of eternal life.
“I am the true vine” (John 15:1, 5). The final metaphorical “I am” statement in the Gospel of John emphasizes the sustaining power of Christ. We are the branches, and He is the vine. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit unless it is joined in vital union with the vine, only those who are joined to Christ and receive their power from Him produce fruit in the Christian life.
There are two more “I am” statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John. These are not metaphors; rather, they are declarations of God’s name, as applied by Jesus to Himself. In the Old Testament, God revealed His name to Moses: “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you’” (Exodus 3:14). Thus, in Judaism, “I AM” is unquestionably understood as a name for God.
The first instance comes as Jesus responds to a complaint by the Pharisees. “I tell you the truth,” Jesus says, “before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58). The verbs Jesus uses are in stark contrast with each other: Abraham was, but I am. There is no doubt that the Jews understood Jesus’ claim to be the eternal God incarnate, because they took up stones to kill Him (verse 59).
The second instance of Jesus applying to Himself the name I AM comes in the Garden of Gethsemane. When the mob came to arrest Jesus, He asked them whom they sought. They said, “Jesus of Nazareth,” and Jesus replied, “I am he” (John 18:4–5). Then something strange happened: “When Jesus said, ‘I am he,’ they drew back and fell to the ground” (verse 6). Perhaps explaining the mob’s reaction is the fact that the word he has been provided by our English translators. Jesus simply said, “I am.” Applying God’s covenant name to Himself, Jesus demonstrated His power over His foes and showed that His surrender to them was entirely voluntary (see John 10:17–18; 19:11).
“I Am”
I am the Lord, I’m the Almighty God
I am the One for whom nothing is too hard
I am the Shepherd and I am the Door
I am the Good news to the bound and the poor
I am the righteous One and I am the Lamb
I am the Ram in the bush for Abraham
I am the Ultimate Sacrifice for sin
I am your Redeemer, the Beginning and the End
I am Jehovah, and I am your King
I am Messiah, David’s Offspring
I am your High Priest, and I am the Christ
I am the Resurrection, I am the Life
I am the Bread, I am the Wine
And I am your Future, so leave your past behind
I am the One in the midst of two or three
I am your Tabernacle, I am your Jubilee
I am Hope, I am Peace, I am Joy, I am Rest
I am your Comfort, and Relief from your stress
I am Strength, I am Faith, I am Love, I am Power
And I am your Freedom, this very hour
– Eddie James
You may remember this post (more below) from about a year ago:
At that time, I introduced a general concept of vaccine-consequential medical dependence upon vaccines, which I called “vaccine addiction slavery“. I was explaining how spike protein-based vaccines for COVID-19 might in fact become literally addictive like barbiturates – meaning fatally so upon withdrawal.
Barbiturates are very old sleeping pills. They work remarkably well – better than opiates – except for one problem. They are even more addictive than opiates.
If you abruptly stop taking barbiturates once addicted – you die. And they are terribly difficult to withdraw from, slowly. This would be the same thing for the COVID vaccines. Stop taking them, and you die. You would have to KEEP taking them to live.
Keep this in mind. Barbiturates were “old tech”. They were EARLY tech. It took DECADES to find more modern sleeping pills that are less addictive, but still problematic (e.g., benzodiazepines). This technological history is COMPLETELY ANALOGOUS to COVID vaccines, in my opinion. It’s also similar to antibiotics. Remember MERCURY as an antibiotic?
In all of these cases – antibiotics, sleeping pills and COVID vaccines – you NOT ONLY don’t want to take these things continuously – you especially don’t want to take the early ones, that are basically poisons of one kind or another.
So how is addiction to a vaccine possible?
The idea is, that if you get “hooked” on vaccines which show certain immunological deficiencies, relative to an evolving disease – meaning they can’t keep up AND they leave you worse off than natural immunity – then you cannot quit the vaccines under pain of death from the disease. You would become locked in a battle of vaccine manufacturers vs. the virus, dependent upon THEIR ability to stay ahead of the evolution of the virus, and the government’s willingness to give you the shot. If you don’t get the vaccine – or don’t get it on time – your vaccine-trashed immunity fails, and you die.
Obviously communists and globalists would LOVE this situation. You don’t comply? You’re gonna die.
On top of THAT, the vaccines themselves would eventually kill you, just like heroin or fentanyl.
Here is that old post.
Wherein we explain – at three different levels of scientific and political understanding – how ADE-mediated vaccine slavery works. This post is to PREPARE YOU to watch what the other side is doing RIGHT NOW, so you can spot the deceptions. Right now they are DESPERATELY trying to make a FAILING PLAN work. Their plan …
If you didn’t read that old post, and you got vaccinated, you may be silently freaking out just a bit at this point. Hopefully you already got Omicron. THAT is the real vaccine. A quality vaccine. A NATURAL vaccine, although “upgraded” a bit by somebody. So you can calm down just a bit, if you got Omicron, and have begun to bushwhack your way back to natural immunity.
You’re not gonna die – as long as you STAY OFF THE DAMN VACCINES.
I will explain why in a moment.
But here is the big message.
I’m not NECESSARILY saying that Mafia daughter Nancy Pelosi and dubious East-coast Italian liar Anthony Fauci might take a mafia trick into government, and upgrade the heroin business to a world-wide scale, using a medical and government mafia, and go after ALL people instead of just black people, but……
Yeah. It is what it is.
So wait a minute – is this actually real?
WAIT FOR THE SCIENCE – and then you can decide.
Valerie Curren, in a comment today, just brought THIS Gab post, about a new Alex Berenson article, to my attention.
Canadian data show vaccines now RAISE the risk of death from Covid
“Vaccinated people are now more likely to be hospitalized or die from Covid, even after adjusting for fact they’re older than the unvaccinated, according to official government estimates”
Please read his article. It’s short and very readable.
Here was my immediate response to the article, after reading it.
OMG – this is exactly what I warned about! Vaccine addiction slavery!
THIS right here is the key!!!
In May, the most recent month for which figures are available, only 9 percent of Covid deaths and 14 percent of hospital admissions in Manitoba occurred among unvaccinated people, even though they are 17 percent of the population.
Manitoba, which has about 1.4 million residents, also provides figures that are adjusted for the fact that vaccinated and boosted people tend to be older.
Those show that in May, vaccinated but unboosted people were about 50 percent more likely to be hospitalized or die of Covid than unvaccinated people. People who had received boosters had roughly the same risk of hospitalization or death as the unvaccinated.
Once you’re hooked on the vaccines, instead of the virus, you start to run a higher risk that you will DIE from the disease unless you get and stay boosted – but the vaccines will ALSO kill you by their own effects.
It’s a DOUBLY INSIDIOUS fate. It’s just like heroin addiction. The “cure” of more product will kill you on its own, AND it keeps you locked in.

That right there is the short version. We now have a very nice example – corrected for numbers – corrected for age – that shows people “needing” to be either boosted or unvaccinated to not die of COVID at the “maximum rate”, which rate happens if you are “addicted to the jabs but late on payments”.
This is EXACTLY what I predicted would happen. And don’t even think about the vaccine being “safer” than being unvaccinated. The scientific trickery that was used to try to hide vaccine deaths has been appalling to this here scientist. The longer you take ANY vaccine which puts spike protein into your bloodstream, the greater your risk of “sudden adult death syndrome”.
You have a choice. Small, periodic, immunity-granting “colds”, or much more frequent vaccines that are guaranteed to put spike protein in your blood twice a year. And if you’re a WOMAN on that vaccine schedule, congratulations – you will likely never get a pregnancy that lasts to term.
It’s a small effect now – 50% greater chance of death on a disease that doesn’t kill many in most age groups – but I will bet money that there is a nice upward delta with the number of vaccinations, just like with the length of time one takes barbiturates.
First new scientific prediction: the longer you are addicted to the COVID vaccines, the greater the chance of death if you get the disease (i.e., the penalty for withdrawal increases with time).
Second new scientific prediction: the penalty for “withdrawal” increases with age (meaning seniors are at the most risk from withdrawal).
Third new scientific prediction: vaccinated kids (who survive the cardiac effects of the spike protein) are fully addicted by adulthood.
Ah, this crime is so smooth, one almost has to think that “this ain’t their first rodeo”. They had to have seen this in animal studies, and kept it under wraps.
Seriously. There had to be animal studies of corona viruses AND corona virus vaccines that showed potential for “depopulation” – both lowering lifespan AND reducing fertility.
And then somebody got ideas.
EVIL.
So what is the mechanism by which this happens? The fact of the matter is that we on the “outside” in “Fake Science” are learning as fast as we can. There are two main effects that we know about, from prior science, which seem relevant – ADE and OAS.
One effect behind a vaccine “making a disease worse” is called “antibody dependent enhancement”, or ADE for short. We can generalize that even further, to include other mechanisms than just the antibodies of “classic” ADE, by including anything that might be called “vaccine-dependent enhancement”, whether it involves antibodies or not. But for simplicity, let’s just call it all “ADE”.
Classic ADE involves a vaccine’s creation of what can be called “inappropriate antibodies”, which are problematic when the disease strikes later. Vaccination creates antibodies, and for whatever reason, those antibodies are not helpful when the disease strikes, but may actually make the situation WORSE, through various sins of omission or commission.
Now, we can expand that just a bit, to include other vaccine effects that make the disease worse, when one gets it. One such effect which appears relevant for COVID vaccines is a general DECREASE in immunity toward ALL DISEASES. This may be mediated though the interferon system.
There is still a lot of debate as to, and study of, what is going on in the weeks after COVID vaccination, but even the Faucists admit that immunity toward COVID itself is DECREASED immediately after injection, and does not rise to positive for a period of days to low weeks. (This, by the way, turned out to be a great excuse for ignoring vaccine side effects.) THEN, after specific immunity to COVID stays positive for a period of long weeks to low months, it tapers off, and people “need” boosters to maintain immunity toward COVID.
Meanwhile, during that entire time, general immunity is lowered toward EVERYTHING in many people, and does not recover for long weeks to months.
How this situation can possibly be regarded as good, mostly involves Anthony Fauci’s “antibody hypnosis”, which keeps us from seeing the bigger picture.
Dr. Nathan Thompson was one of the first to disclose loss of general immune function after COVID vaccination, and the powers that be, came after him HARD. His video disappeared everywhere.
Here are several posts where I covered such topics.
Ten Fresh Reasons for You, Your Friends, and Your Loved Ones to NOT Get the HAXXINE
But before looking at those fascinating posts, let’s deal with OAS.
OAS stands for “original antigenic sin”. This is not actually a hard concept to understand. It is a cute way of saying that while our immune systems are designed to IMPRINT on whatever they were last exposed to, as they figure out an immune response, they ESPECIALLY tend to imprint on new things that they are FIRST exposed to. Therefore, if your immune system imprints on something WRONGLY or MISLEADINGLY the first time, that “sin” is carried on.
In some ways, OAS is the flip side of ADE. Two sides of the same coin. ADE blames the bad antibodies coming back to haunt. OAS blames the setting up of the bad antibodies. Almost the same thing, and often indicted in the same breath.
OAS is another way of viewing the failure of immunity to deal with evolving viruses. Relative to the new virus, the memory of the old virus is “sinful”.
OAS is likewise another way of viewing autoimmune disorders, where we accidentally (or intentionally, in the case of sterilization vaccines) create immunity toward something in our own bodies. The original sin of an inappropriate immunity carries on to cause later problems.
So how do we view the Canadian results in terms of ADE and OAS?
In my opinion, the spike protein vaccines have a “narrowing” effect on immunity, which is the source of their OAS / ADE. They are overly focused on the spike protein, and in particular on the original Wuhan variant spike protein. The antibodies that are created and on duty are basically born as “yesterday’s news”, and not even much of that. “Yesterday’s local suburban news” is what those antibodies are.
Worse still, unlike natural, disease-conferred immunity, there is no immunity gained toward OTHER proteins created by the virus. Those MORE CONSERVED proteins are the ones where antibodies to ONE variant are GOOD AGAINST THE NEXT. Those critical antibodies are NOT created by exposure to the spike protein alone.
Score 1 for natural immunity – score 0 for simplistic spike protein vaccines.
Thus, because the vaccinee’s immune system is over-focused on an old spike protein and nothing else, it becomes worthless against new variants, no matter in what way the rapidly evolving spike proteins have changed. Worse, the immune system doesn’t “start over” and produce general antibodies to the unknown new threat – it keeps throwing the wrong specific ammo at the new virus. Worse still, only a RECENTLY BOOSTED (but not TOO recently booosted) immune system has competent immunity. A vaccinated but non-boosted individual is “running on empty” – and with the wrong kind of gasoline. They have low immunity, and what they have is wrong.
In other words, you’d better have a FRESH DOSE of the BAD VACCINE, once you start taking the bad vaccine. Either that, or stick with natural immunity.
Starting to think that the vaccine might not be a good idea? Read on.
I had high hopes for the protein-based Novavax vaccine. Sadly, THAT was before I understood that spike protein pathogenicity dooms these vaccines. Robert Malone actually tried to warn FDA about the problems of building a vaccination program on the spike protein. His efforts were rebuffed.
Steve Kirsch has a great take on the Novavax vaccine.
Steve has three additional links which are fantastic reads. They explain FROM THE DATA exactly why Novavax is both low in benefits and high in risks. This is CLEARLY due to the pathogenic spike protein.
In my opinion, it’s very unlikely that a COVID vaccine which beats disease-conferred immunity will be available for YEARS. Sure, I’ll keep watching, but Novavax is almost certainly not it.
So why did I want Novavax to be approved?
TL;DR – “I believe that mRNA vaccines have serious risks that would be REVEALED by approval of the Novavax vaccine.” –Wolf Moon I’m actually surprised that FDA and Pfizer/China allowed Novavax to get this close to approval, but they clearly have the upcoming vote RIGGED, just like the 2020 election. The trusty “board mules” that …
In my opinion, the approval of a “likely safer” coronavirus vaccine is – in the long game – a big win for popular science – here’s why. The approaching approval (or not) of a competing EUA for the NON-mRNA NON-viral-vector NON-genetic Novavax coronavirus vaccine is going to tell us a LOT about how much power …
I wanted Novavax approved, not only because it was “safer”, but so that “popular science” would be able to get the data for Novavax out of VAERS, after which we can compare it with mRNA vaccines. This will give us powerful estimates on the “price” of the industry misleading us away from the safest possible vaccines, to ones that they preferred for research reasons.
Novavax still has to get past the CDC, and I would not put it past “Rochelle The Knife” Walensky to kill Novavax, but as I have explained elsewhere, I do think that Novavax has made implicit promises not to brag up their (somewhat) better safety relative to mRNA vaccines. They will HANG TOGETHER to make sure they don’t hang separately.
The bottom line is this. DO NOT GET THE JAB. There are too many reasons right now to skip the jab and to rely on natural immunity.
If I change my mind on that, you will be the first to know, and also the first to know WHY.
