A Caution
Just remember…we might replace the RINO candidates. (Or we might not. The record is mixed even though there is more MAGA than there used to be.) But that will make no difference in the long run if the party officials, basically the Rhonna McDaniels (or however that’s spelled–I suspect it’s RINO), don’t get replaced.
State party chairs, vice chairs, secretaries and so on, and the same at county levels, have huge influence on who ultimately gets nominated, and if these party wheelhorses are RINOs, they will work tirelessly to put their own pukey people on the ballot. In fact I’d not be surprised if some of our “MAGA” candidates are in fact, RINO plants, encouraged to run by the RINO party leadership when they realized that Lyn Cheney (and her ilk) were hopelessly compromised as effective candidates. The best way for them to deal with the opposition, of course, is to run it themselves.
Running good candidates is only HALF of the battle!
SPECIAL SECTION: Message For Our “Friends” In The Middle Kingdom
I normally save this for near the end, but…basically…up your shit-kicking barbarian asses. Yes, barbarian! It took a bunch of sailors in Western Asia to invent a real alphabet instead of badly drawn cartoons to write with. So much for your “civilization.”
Yeah, the WORLD noticed you had to borrow the Latin alphabet to make Pinyin. Like with every other idea you had to steal from us “Foreign Devils” since you rammed your heads up your asses five centuries ago, you sure managed to bastardize it badly in the process.
Have you stopped eating bats yet? Are you shit-kickers still sleeping with farm animals?
Or maybe even just had the slightest inkling of treating lives as something you don’t just casually dispose of?

Biden Gives Us Too Much Credit
…we can move on to the next one.
Apparently Biden (or his puppeteer) has decided we’re to blame for all of the fail in the United States today.
Sorry to disappoint you Joe (or whoever), but you managed to do that all on your own; not only that, you wouldn’t let us NOT give you the chance because you insisted on cheating your way into power.
Yep, you-all are incompetent, and so proud of it you expect our applause for your sincerity. Fuck that!!
It wouldn’t be so bad, but you insist that everyone else have to share in your misery. Nope, can’t have anyone get out from under it. Somehow your grand vision only works if every single other person on earth is forced to go along. So much as ONE PERSON not going along is enough to make it all fail, apparently.
In engineering school we’re taught that a design that has seven to eight billion single points of failure…sucks.
Actually, we weren’t taught that. Because it would never have occurred to the professors to use such a ridiculous example.
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Watch Me Pull A Rabbit Out Of My Hat
Last week we left off showing that it’s possible using the Maclaurin series (a special case of the Taylor series) to compute sines and cosines of angles. The closer the angle is to zero, the easier it is to do.
Technically you don’t get an exact answer unless you run the series out forever, but you can typically get acceptable precision in just a few terms.
Here they are, sine and cosine:
sinx = x – x3/3! +x5/5! – x7/7!…
cosx = 1 + –x2/2! + x4/4! + –x6/6! + x8/8! +…
But if you recall, from way back, there is another such series for the exponential function, i.e., ex.
(It’s so much nicer when I can find an image of a properly typeset formula, ain’t it?)
Can We Tie Trig and Exponentials To Each Other?
Take a really close look at these three formulas. Compare like terms…and by that I mean x3 in one formula should be compared to x3 in another, and so on.
You’ll notice that the formula for ex contains terms for every power of x. Sinx, on the other hand contains only the odd-power elements, and cosx contains only the even-power elements.
It’s almost as if you could somehow combine sine and cosine to get the exponential function.
But if you add the sine and cosine functions together you get this:
sinx + cosx = 1 + x – x2/2! – x3/3! + x4/4! +x5/5! – x6/6! – x7/7! + x8/8! +…
Well…it’s almost right. Except for one rather awkward problem. The terms have two positive signs, then two negative signs, then two positive signs, then two negative signs. and so on, whereas the exponential series has nothing but positive signs.
And you can’t fix this by subtracting cosine from sine (or vice versa), thereby flipping some signs, because some of those errant negative signs come from sinx and some from cosx.
For example:
sinx – cosx = -1 + x + x2/2! – x3/3! – x4/4! +x5/5! + x6/6! – x7/7! – x8/8! +…
You still have an alternating sequence of two positive numbers then two negative numbers, then two positive numbers, and so on; you’ve just shifted where the pairs of negatives and positives are in the sequence.
So what looked like something that would have been a really cool way to tie trigonometry to the exponential function, fails.
Tying Up A Loose End
I mentioned here: https://www.theqtree.com/2023/06/24/2023%c2%b706%c2%b724-joe-biden-didnt-win-daily-thread/ that complex numbers, i.e., numbers of the form a + bi, where i is the square root of -1, could have all sorts of things done to them, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division…and you could even raise other numbers to complex powers. I said that last part, but then I said I’d have to talk about it some other week.
Well, this is that week.
Nothing says that the x in the Maclaurin series has to be a real number.
So why don’t we plug a complex number into the Maclaurin series for ex to see what happens?
Well I can tell you beforehand what will happen if we plug a + bi into it…we’re going to have to square that expression, then cube it, then raise it to the fourth power, and the fifth, and we will have a gawdawful mess on our hands very, very quickly.
But really, that would be a chimpanzee move.
ea+bi, after all is ea x ebi. By splitting it up this way, we can handle the two pieces separately and then (at the end) multiply them together. We already have a handle on ea but we should check on ebi since the power we are raising e to is an imaginary number. So let’s set ea aside (but we will not forget it’s there).
Using the ex Maclaurin series:
…and setting x = bi, we get:
ebi = (bi)0/0! + (bi)1/1! + (bi)2/2! + (bi)3/3! + (bi)4/4! + (bi)5/5! + (bi)6/6! + …
This doesn’t seem to do much for us; you could put anything in for x and you will be raising it to all those powers. But i has a very interesting behavior when you raise it to successive powers, and we can use that here:
i0 = 1, i1 = i, i2 = -1, i3 = –i, i4 = 1, i5 = i, i6 = -1 i7 = –i ….
In other words it goes through a 1, i, -1, –i cycle, over and over again. So we can go back to the expansion above and replace all of the i-to-the-somethingth powers with the appropriate value (and do more simplifications….0! is defined to be 1, and any number raised to the 0th power is also 1). Also, when we do this if there is an i or –i we’ll bring it to the front.
ebi = 1 + ib – b2/2! – ib3/3! + b4/4! + ib5/5! – b6/6! – ib7/7! …
Now some of the terms have i in them and some do not, which makes this the epitome of a complex number. It’s a little hard to deal with this in this form, so let’s collect all the real terms together, and all the imaginary terms together–like we would for any complex number. We end up with the sum of two series:
ebi = 1 – b2/2! + b4/4! – b6/6! + … (first series)
+ ib – ib3/3! + ib5/5! – ib7/7! + … (second series)
And we can factor out the i from the second series:
ebi = 1 – b2/2! + b4/4! – b6/6! + … (first series)
+ i (b – b3/3! + b5/5! – b7/7! + …) (second series)
Does anything look familiar?
I ask again, DOES ANYTHING LOOK FAMILIAR?!?
It better.
The first series is the same as the expansion of cosx from earlier, except of course it’s on b instead of x. Makes no difference. They’re the same.
The second series, moreover is i times the sinx series from above (again with b substituted for x).
In other words, switching back to x:
eix = cosx + isinx.
Well, well, well. We can connect exponentials and trig functions after all! We just needed a bit of (I can’t resist) imagination, taking the exponent of an imaginary number and getting a result that has both a real and imaginary component.
This is known as Euler’s equation, after Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) who first noted it. Euler is arguably the greatest mathematician that ever lived though he has plenty of stiff competition from others.
It would be hard to overstate the importance of this result. It underlies much of physics, and is all over the place in electrical engineering.
And yet you never hear about it in the popularizations of science (well, not until now).
This is largely because, in order to get here, you need a pretty solid advanced math background. Or someone who’s willing to skip over a lot of formal proofs as he presents it to you. Most math educators won’t do that, and rightly so. Mathematics education relies on proving everything along every step of the way. It’s bullshit-free, everything is proved based on what comes before and you don’t have to trust the perfessor or take his word for anything. And here I am giving it to with little in the way of proofs and enough hand-waving that I am raising myself off the floor from flapping my arms so hard. (As such, if you find this interesting, I ask that you at least ask someone else with the right knowledge if it’s true. DO NOT just take my word for it. Better yet, take a bunch of math courses.)
Putting It Back Together
But there’s one little detail that must be dealt with. We got here by trying to raise e to the a+bi power, and we set aside the ea that we must multiply ebi by. So let’s put them back together.
ea+bi = eaebi = ea(cosb + isinb)
But now, the last thing should remind you of something. (Though this time I will not jump on the table and yell that it should do so.)
It looks a bit like how you convert polar to rectangular coordinates.
<r, θ> = (rcosθ , rsinθ)
And if you consider your rectangular coordinates to be complex number in a complex number plane, you get:
<r, θ> = r(cosθ + isinθ)
So another way to represent ea+bi is:
ea+bi = <ea, b>
I’ve said before that the angle brackets < and > are not standard mathematical notation. I just use them as a visual cue that the coordinates are polar coordinates. Mathematicians generally don’t bother with that, they just use parentheses for both cases. But sometimes (actually rather often) they will write polar coordinates like this:
<r, θ> as: reiθ
(And need I remind you: the angle must be expressed in radians. eiθ will give you the sine and cosine of θ, but only if θ is radians. Another reason why mathematicians prefer radians.)
A Maximally Geeky Bonus
What if θ is π? (I.e., what if θ is 180 degrees?)
The sine of π is zero. The cosine of π is -1.
So if eiθ = cosθ + isinθ, and θ = π, then eiπ = cosπ + isinπ = -1 + 0.
eiπ = -1
Adding 1 to both sides we get:
eiπ + 1 = 0
Note the beauty of this. It contains all three of the numbers I introduced you to, e, π, and i, plus the numbers 0 and 1–which I sure hope I did not have to introduce you to (though maybe some reader of this took woke mathematics and got to hear about “saving the planet” instead of actual math).
Arguably these are the five most important numbers in mathematics, and one formula ties them together, and no other more mundane number appears in the formula.
This is known as Euler’s identity, and it’s a favorite. There’s absolutely no way anyone can see this intuitively, no way to see that e, i, and π should be related to each other in any way, much less all three of them directly like this.
And yet they are. And much of our modern world depends on this crazy little fact.

You got the sign wrong on Euler’s Identity — which makes it Euler’s Secret Identity….which involves running around at night in black capes and having a butler named Alfred.
FIxed it.
If that’s the only mistake that I made in spite of the molasses editor, I am doing really well.
But that was a particularly bad one to make.
At least someone is reading your post.
Indeed.
Thank God for good men like you who have this level of mathematics covered.
Oh, I don’t….I was just carefully reading what Steve had written.
Normally, I read along and go, “yes, that’s right”, and “that’s cool.” Steve is a really good teacher and I frequently learn things.
And to be sure the identity is so well known (in certain circles) that if you know about it at all….you should spot that mistake. And I didn’t.
It’s not exactly top-of-mind for me, although I couldn’t swear to never having seen it before. I was seriously going through your explanation until you said, “add one to both sides”. At that point I looked it up to see whether the final equation or the one before it was wrong.
I frequently learn things from Steve and from you too. 😊 For that, I am grateful.
If you stop learning your brain dies, and you find yourself deliberately voting for Dems.

Without advanced mathematics programs, you could end up with an MS in “Physics Math” and PhD in “Economics Math” and there’d be nobody to come back from a conference and go, “guess what, you can use this weird thing from the math physicists use to solve economics problems…..”
That’s unsurprising AND unflipping believable. Hard sciences don’t do “the sciencism” crapola! So the psychopathic totalitarians have to remove them from the view of anyone might discover objective reality & actually wake up!
Many of the programs were softheaded mush. Some, while interesting, seemed a little “out there”. But Mathematics is the key to everything.
Math basically promotes logical thinking, anathema to the overlords who want to rule & abuse the malleable sheeple!
I would suggest that mathematics IS the music of the spheres, before it becomes audible.
Yes math is the language of music & of life!

It presents a problem even to those who are awake. Some people are dealing with very difficult things in their lives, and this presents battles they have to fight that add to their stress. For example, someone whose loved one is dying is going to need to see them, whether in a local hospital that requires masks, or to fly somewhere distant. There are many predicaments that people will find themselves in. It’s insidious and evil.
The other side of that is that if it goes the same way as before visitors will not be allowed in with dying family
Then I guess dying family might want to think twice before going into the hospital.

pardon my ignorance, but can anyone here please explain to me President Trump’s post earlier about not having a press conference to release an evidence report. He said his lawyers want to use it in “filings” and I know nothing about the law. I thought filings used references to laws to refute or support motions and this sounds like evidence to be introduced during a trial.
I assumed they would use the report as the basis for a motion to dismiss the whole case, but I’m not a lawyer, either. Who knows?
You got it. The main challenge to using it in that manner is that it shows the enemy your legal strategy, or part of it, at an early stage of the litigation.
Hmmm. Strategery.

Ground report: My first email check this morning has a LoudounGOP invitation to give money to the Loudoun County GOP Committee and attend a fancy ball. Glenn Youngkin is the Keynote Speaker. I can no longer listen to their Emcee, Larry O’Conner, because he’s trying to be impartial and often talks to RDS supporters which makes me gak. I don’t live in Loudoun County (never have).
I will have to check the other people they have selected, but someone needs to “talk to them about their timing.” (line from Agatha Christie’s “What Mrs. Magillicuty Saw”)

Now, where have I heard that before?
Paging Jefferson’s Tree…
Part of Samuel Adams’ speech to a committee formed after the Sugar Act was passed in 1764:
“But what still heightens our apprehensions is, that these unexpected Proceedings may be preparatory to new Taxations upon us: For if our Trade may be taxed why not our Lands? Why not the Produce of our Lands & every thing we possess or make use of? This we apprehend annihilates our Charter Right to govern & tax ourselves–It strikes at our Brittish Privileges, which as we have never forfeited them, we hold in common with our Fellow Subjects who are Natives of Brittain: If Taxes are laid upon us in any shape without our having a legal Representation where they are laid, are we not reduced from the Character of free Subjects to the miserable State of tributary Slaves?“

The one thing I gave up for now is highlighting the paragraph that you do. sigh… I like that it goes directly to the Adams letter and adds context about the Sugar Act. Also, right now I get to have the Adams portrait as the thumbnail. Later, I might build a page for more than one historical document that would let me have a “From the letter” quote with the part you boldfaced. Of course, there a so many historical documents. I have not linked to the Federalist Papers yet either, so I’ll do that sometime. 🤓

“Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:”

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Apparently this fire likes trees.
West Kelowna British Columbia Canada is 50 minutes by air or about 8 hours by auto. I went to Google to get directions and it oddly took me far out of the direct path. Down into the USA or farther north than needed.
West Kelowna British Columbia Canada is 50 minutes by air or about 8 hours by auto from Vancouver. I went to Google to get directions and it oddly took me far out of the direct path. Down into the USA or farther north than needed. I don’t suppose Google lists where the Chinese military base is located around Vancouver Canada.
That’s odd. If I do it using with Google Maps (Canada), it takes around 4 hours by car.
It’s ALL a coincidence.

“Ukrainian channels report three powerful explosions in Chernihiv. Earlier, an air alert was announced in the region due to the danger of missile strikes.”

“Local authorities have confirmed a missile attack on the city. A hit in the center is announced.
Presumably, the strike was delivered by an Iskander-M ballistic missile.”
https://t.me/intelslava/50659
***********************
“The blow in the Chernihiv region was delivered on the building of the Drama Theater, where at that moment, with the support of the Chernihiv Regional Military Administration, a presentation of Ukrainian UAV manufacturers, representatives of flight schools and the military took place.
Interestingly, the presentation was promised to be held in a safe place, the exact address of which was reported only 4 hours before the event.”

And this is how the Western Media frames the narrative:
(MailOnline) Slaughter at the town square: Ukrainian leans over a small, lifeless body as Putin’s missiles strike university and theatre, killing a little girl and six others, and wounding 90
Six people have been killed and 36 wounded after a Russian missile struck a central square in the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv, the interior ministry said on Saturday. People had been on their way to church to celebrate a religious holiday when the strike took place, the ministry said.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who was on a working visit to Sweden, posted on Telegram ‘A Russian missile hit right in the centre of the city, in our Chernihiv. A square, the polytechnic university, a theatre,’
Yawn.
I’d call Zelensky a lying worm, but he’s lower than a lying worm…
And the daily fail is right down there with him…..
(No doubt the Brits’ unIntelligence servuses are the ones pushing for WWIII… sorry folks, the son HAS SET on the British Empire, and it did decades ago)…
Oops.
SUN…
But, looking at the Church of England, both probably apply…
Oh Voldo..stuff it. They had it in the city center explicitly for this kind of dramatic presentation and I certainly don’t dismiss the deaths of civilians but the blame is squarely on him and the US. Collateral damage ….to the last Ukrainian, eh Lindsey ?
Wow. Talk about photobombing…
And the Ukies (like the Palis) using human shields, i.e. telling the military and GEB folks to dress up like normies, and using the Drama school for a weapons presentation.
Well, they got a weapons presentation, but probably not the one they intended…
(Have to say, considering the gal being photographed is in a white dress, I hope it wasn’t a wedding picture…)…..
A presentation up close and personal.
As the missile comes blazing into the building, just past the pedestrians, the people disappear. Edited video?
Yes, done by a very unskilled person. Somehow, this clip [out of a longer vid] was supposed to have ended at the ‘disappear’ point but some additional got added.
JMO.
RED ALERT 🚨
https://vigilantfox.substack.com/p/100-of-died-suddenly-autopsy-cases
Yours Truly: Bear with me here. Truth bombs are going to be dropped.
The Vigilant Fox article regards an interview with Dr. Peter McCullough about the “died suddenly” cases after “booster vaccination” with the MODERNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, mRNA 1273, in the company’s “bivalent booster vaccine” version.
Dr. McCullough, in particular, cites the “Buergin paper” that was presented and discussed on this board just recently: https://doi.org/10.1002/ejhf.2978 published July 20, 2023.
[Dr. McCullough, with other doctors such as Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Dr. William Makis, just published a pre-print paper on July 18, 2023, regarding deaths from COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced myocarditis: http://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202307.1198/v1. The full manuscript is available by clicking Download PDF on the page. Yours Truly believes the full manuscript should be downloaded and saved, since there are ALREADY calls for the pre-print to be withdrawn.]
Here’s the real skinny:
ONE: Dr. McCullough and his colleagues prove that 100% of the “died suddenly” cases, as shown in the autopsies of the deceased, occurred due to the heart damage caused by the COVID-19 “vaccines” that the deceased had received while alive. The recipients had received either the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine” or the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccine.”
TWO: The “Buergin paper” proves that the Moderna COVID-19 “bivalent booster vaccine” causes heart damage, including myocarditis, and that this damage killed the “vaccine” recipients.
THREE: BOTH the Pfizer-BioNTech AND the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccines” (including the “Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine” from each company) contain lipid nanoparticles that in and of themselves, cause heart damage just from exposure in handling them improperly: the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine” contains ALC-0159 and ALC-0315; the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccine” contains SM-102.
FOUR: The Moderna COVID-19 “vaccine” (including the company’s “Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine”) contain much larger mcg amounts of spike protein + its modRNA PER DOSE for ALL age groups, compared to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine” (including that company’s “Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine.”)
FIVE: The NIAID co-owns, with Moderna, that company’s COVID-19 “vaccine”, mRNA-1273, AND its “Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine.” The NIAID receives royalty payments from Moderna whenever the company’s COVID-19 “vaccines” are used. The new revenue-sharing agreement between the NIAID and Moderna was inked in February 2023: http://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/moderna-pays-us-government-400m-catch-payment-under-new-covid-19-vaccine-license
SIX: RALPH BARIC at UNC has been experimenting with inducing myocarditis AND congestive heart failure in lab rabbits injected with coronavirus SINCE 1992:
Abstract only: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7202395/
January, 1992
“An Experimental Model for Myocarditis and Congestive Heart Failure after Rabbit Coronavirus Infection”
Full paper: https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/165/1/134/986090?login=false
(click on “PDF” just above the “Abstract”)
SEVEN: RALPH BARIC worked DIRECTLY WITH the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2020, in research on how lab mice injected with the COVID-19 virus can get lung tissue damage. He worked with ZHENG-LI SHI on the paper below. The work was funded ONLY by outlets of the CCP:
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2020.05.027
May, 2020
“Pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 in Transgenic Mice Expressing Human Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2”
EIGHT: Recall that myocarditis / pericarditis permanently damage the heart; and that, according to the Cleveland Clinic, the survival rate after myocarditis diagnosis is at 80% for the first year, then at 50% at 5 years. The heart does NOT, except in rare cases, regenerate damaged tissue; and even then, the ability to regenerate damaged heart tissue is very small.
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22129-myocarditis
NINE, and not least: The NIAID makes royalty money from EVERY DOSE of the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccine” administered (including the company’s “Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine.”) This was engineered into place via Anthony Fauci.
Devastating.
This stuff makes me so angry and also so worried about my family, that I almost can’t bring myself to read about it anymore. Justice must be done.
Linda
Understood. Yours Truly is in a similar place. There are days when it’s very hard to read and post about the whole COVID-19 / COVID-19 “vaccines” disaster. But one feels that there are people who run across this board who are “new” or “normies” and may see something on the truth about the situation.
And the truth is spreading. Here’s what Attorney Tom Renz just posted on his Substack site:
https://tomrenz.substack.com/p/mrna-and-why-it-matters
August 19, 2023
Attorney Renz has just figured out that there’s a BIG difference between “regular mRNA” and the modRNA that’s in the COVID-19 “vaccines.” And how Pfizer-BioNTech is STILL LYING about using “mRNA” as the “catchall” term when it is NOT. It’s called modRNA right there in the FDA-issued Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers for BOTH the “original” Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2, AND for the company’s “Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine” —
“original” = https://labeling.pfizer.com/ShowLabeling. aspx?id=14471
“Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine” = http://www.fda.gov/media/167211/download
Also, there’s the importance of keeping the situation out in the public view, especially with the numerous and very important other dreadful things going on in the world. For example, the FDA is getting ready to grant an EUA for the “newest COVID-19 vaccine booster” to be rolled out this fall — a modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” for the “new variant” called ERIS. This “newest COVID-19 booster vaccine” is only being tested on mice.
Over at https://mole.substack.com/p/spox_dilema-2023-08-19-sat-killjab, there are articles on Franklin County, FL, passing a “No Jab” law; and a link to a Children’s Health Defense article on critics taking on that recent AMA hit piece on “certain” medical doctors “spreading misinformation on social media” (translation: spreading the truth) about COVID-19 and the COVID-19 “vaccines.”
