Health Friday 1.31.2025 Open Thread: HHS Gaslighting and Propaganda to Increase “Vaccines” Uptake

The above still image of Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman from the 1944 film, Gaslight, is courtesy of Google Images.

Health Friday is a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s post speaks to the disaster of the COVID-19 BTI (Bioweapon Toxin Injections, aka the “vaccines”), Yours Truly dedicates it to the memory of all persons, of whatever age or location, who have passed away from the negative effects (direct or indirect) of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, no matter whether the deceased were COVID-19 “vaccinated” or not. However, the discussion is not limited to what is presented here: It is an Open Thread.

There are Important Wolf Moon Notifications, the Rules of our late, good Wheatie, and certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here.

Yours Truly begins here: https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/the-evidence-is-clear-its-time-to, “The Evidence Is Clear: It’s Time to Permanently Ban the COVID-19 mRNA Injections”, by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, Epidemiologist, and Administrator of the McCullough Foundation, 18 January 2025. There is a video of an interview with Mr. Hulscher by Luiza Asyamova, along with links and graphics from numerous scientific papers, in this article. One of these linked papers is this: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14269255, “COVID-19 spike protein pathogenicity research library”, Dr. Martin Wulcher, Erik Sass, et al., 3 December 2024 (also found here: https://zenodo.org/records/14269255). There are over four hundred papers listed in this particular compilation.

Yours Truly will focus on one other linked item in the Nicolas Hulscher article cited above, regarding the activities of the United States Department of Health and Human Services to increase uptake of the COVID-19 “vaccines.” The first example is here: https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/the-us-hhs-risk-less-do-more-propaganda, “The U.S. HHS “Risk Less. Do More.” Vaccine Propaganda Campaign”, by Nicolas Hulscher, 19 December 2024. Below are two screenshots regarding the HHS campaign:

HHS launched this propaganda campaign a few months ago, under then-Secretary of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra. The agency has already released over 80 videos on its You Tube channels, among many other gaslighting / propaganda items, to “convince” Americans to get the COVID-19 BTI (Bioweapon Toxin Injections, aka the “vaccines”); the influenza virus “vaccines”; and the RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) “vaccines.”

The agency, apparently, was already “alarmed” over the “lack of vaccine uptake” among Americans. Please see here: https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/americas-compliance-with-federal, “America’s Compliance with Federal Vaccine Recommendations as Collapsed”, by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 24 November 2024. The CDC’s MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) article regarding this issue is here: https://dx.doi.org/10.15585/mmwr.mm7346a1, “Influenza, COVID-19, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccination Coverage Among Adults — United States, Fall 2024”, Jennifer L. Kriss, et al., 21 November 2024. The salient graphic from this article is below:

Turning to the HHS gaslighting / propaganda campaign, here is the “About the Campaign” webpage: https://www.hhs.gov/risk-less-do-more/about-campaign/index.html. Interested persons scroll down the page to find the “Navigate to:” section, and clicks on the “+” sign to redirect to various other gaslighting / propaganda items and links. Here is one such link: https://www.hhs.gov/risk-less-do-more/flu-covid-19-rsv-facts/index.html; please see the image below from this webpage, the “FAQ” statement regarding the COVID-19 “vaccines”:

Which is filled with, in YoursTruly’s opinion, misinformation, disinformation, and outright falsehoods (for example, not mentioning and even dismissing the increasing cases of serious adverse reactions from taking a COVID-19 BTI (the “vaccines”).)

But wait, there’s more! Here is the portion of the HHS gaslighting / propaganda website for medical professionals: https://www.hhs.gov/risk-less-do-more/for-health-care-providers/index.html. In this part of the HHS gaslighting / propaganda effort, one can read through the various “Use these on your “vaccine-hesitant” patients” techniques to “convince” them to agree to having one of the above “vaccines” injected into them. Below are examples from the “Discussion Guides” section of https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/talking-your-patients.pdf, “Talking to Your Patients About Flu, COVID-19, and RSV Vaccines” from the HHS gaslighting / propaganda website. Below are examples culled from this section: the first, how the physician is to “initiate” the gaslighting / propaganda discussion with a patient: and, the second, how the physician can “steer” the conversation if the patient is “vaccine-hesitant”:

Note that the image of the “patient” is that of an elderly male. There are similar “Discussion Guides” for the flu “vaccines” and for the RSV “vaccines.”

Yours Truly will also note the following regarding the above HHS gaslighting / propaganda campaign materials: One: The use of an “elderly male patient” in the example “discussion” with the physician. The CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services) is involved up their eyeballs in the campaign, due to the payments that CMS receives from every injection of a COVID-19 “vaccine”, an influenza “vaccine”, and/or an RSV “vaccine.” Please see here: https://www.cms.gov/medicare/payment/covid-19/coding-covid-19-vaccine-shots, updated 2 January 2025. And, Two: The AMA gets a “royalty payment” from every CPT code that is used for medical procedures or treatment billing, including injections of “vaccines” such as the ones listed above. This is because the AMA owns the rights to use the CPT codes. Please see here: https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/cpt/big-changes-will-streamline-cpt-coding-immunization, 5 January 2024. The “new, all-inclusive” CPT code for any “vaccine” injection administration is 90480.

So far, all of the above has applied to persons over age 18. What about persons under age 18? For this, Yours Truly turns to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) “Redbook” post of 20 November 2024, found here: https://publications.aap.org/redbook/pages/Immunization-Schedules. “Immunization Schedules for 2025” PDF, subtitled “Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule by Age.” These mirror the CDC Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, found here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/child-adolescent-age.html, 21 November 2024. These are CDC recommended immunization schedules; they are not the law. However, many state legislatures in the United States have adopted this recommended immunization schedule and turned it into state law for children who wish to attend school (public, but in some areas, also private or even home-school situations) within their state. For example, here is the link to the required “vaccines” schedule that children must take if they wish to got to public school in North Carolina: https://immunization.dph.ncdhhs.gov/schools/k-12.htm, “K-12 School Requirements – NC Immunization Branch”, 23 August 2024.

So, it would appear that the Department of Health and Human Services is engaged in a full-on gaslighting / propaganda campaign to “convince” American adults to take the COVID-19 “vaccines”; while, at the same time, the CDC immunization schedule for children and adolescents (which clearly indicates that the COVID-19 “vaccines”, along with the other “vaccines” on the schedule, are NOT law, but are recommended), have been added into state public school “vaccination schedules” statutes, thus making these recommendations the law of the state. Adults are free to refuse and and all recommended “vaccines”, but persons under age 18 are, in effect, required to take them if they wish to attend public school.

Then, there is the phenomenon of potential COVID-19 “vaccine” shedding. If adults who take a COVID-19 “vaccine” can potentially shed the ingredients of these injectables onto other persons, it would follow that children and adolescents who take these injectables can potentially shed the ingredients. And what about persons under age 18 who are immunocompromised? It is now known that the COVID-19 “vaccines” damage or destroy the natural immune system of the “vaccinated” person. The immune systems of the immunocompromised are already at risk; it can be fairly argued that taking a COVID-19 “vaccine” could put the already-at-risk natural immune system of these persons at further risk.

For more information regarding gaslighting and COVID-19, please see: https://www.theqtree.com/2023/10/06/pavacas-first-post/, “Friday, 10.6.2023 — Gaslighting in the Era of COVID-19”.

For more information regarding the potential for COVID-19 “vaccine” shedding, please see: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/covid-19-vaccine-shedding-experiences, “What We’ve Learned from Over a Thousand Vaccine Shedding Reports”, by A Midwestern Doctor, 7 January 2024.

Nota Bene #1, 27 January 2025: The HHS, CDC, and NIH have been enjoined by the new Trump administration from publishing further updates to healthcare policies, procedures, or information, until further notice: https://brownstone.org/articles/the-big-freeze-at-hhs-cdc-and-nih/, by Jeffrey Tucker, 25 January 2025; also, please see here: https://www.statnews.com/2025/01/22/trump-administration-orders-health-communications-pause-cdc-hhs-fda/, “Trump administration freezes many health agency reports and posts”, 22 January 2025.

However, the other links above in today’s post are still active (at least until today 30 January 2025); it appears that the Trump administration order is not retroactive to 20 January 2025. Therefore, the “Discussion Guides”, the handouts, the billing / coding information, and so on, listed in today’s post, are likely still being used.

Nota Bene #2, 29 January 2025: A new paper has just been published by Peter A. McCullough, MD, Mary Talley Bowden, MD, et al., regarding a renewed demand to have ALL the COVID-19 “vaccines” withdrawn from the market immediately: https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/breaking-peer-reviewed-study-finds-5f1, “BREAKING — Peer-Reviewed Study Finds Irrefutable Evidence Supporting Immediate Market Withdrawal of COVID-19 “Vaccines””, by Nicolas Hulscher, 28 January 2025. The article is found here: https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/review-of-calls-for-market-removal-of-covid-19-vaccines-intensify-risks-far-outweigh-theoretical-benefits/, “Review of Calls for Market Removal of COVID-19 Vaccines Intensify: Risks Far Outweigh Theoretical Benefits.” Science, Public Health Policy and the Law. 2025, Jan28; v6.2019-2025. A screenshot of the Abstract is below:

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE. Yours Truly believes that the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., as the new Secretary of Health and Human Services needs to happen as soon as possible: so he can end the HHS gaslighting/propaganda efforts, to start.

Peace, Good Energy, Respect: PAVACA

Is It Wrong To Love AI-Generated Country Music?

I never realized that Drexler’s concept of “radical abundance” might generalize to include country music – and yet here we are.

First of all, I’m not even sure that “AI” is where most of this stuff comes from – but I’m pretty sure it is. It may be that some of this highly anonymous music is coming from real, unknown country artists – but I kind of doubt it. And even then, how would I know?

Maybe I’d better start at the beginning.

As I was preparing “future posts created out of copied placeholders” in my usual way, I did a particularly lazy search for country music videos, in a way that tends to pull back compilations of current country hits, but also tends to get a few single songs that I’ve never heard before. This has been a great way for me to discover “new” country music – which may even be old music that I simply missed on the terrible, local, “hot country” stations.

Well, I got the following “compilation” video, and gave it a listen. It’s about an hour and 45 minutes of mixed country songs.

Best new country songs? Sounds awesome! Kinda weird that no artist names were being buzzed at me, but whatever!

I loved the first song (click video above, entitled “Still The One I Love“, which somewhat matches the AI gal singer / guitar player shown, but which is obviously coming from some artist with whom I was not familiar.

Just listen to it! In my opinion, it’s a great song. Yes, very formula, but filled with so many great country tropes and hooks, earnestly performed. I was, like “yeah, what a great start to this compilation!”

As more and more of the songs played, the AI video become more and more out of sync with the music, but the quality of the songs never went down. I found myself enjoying each and every song. That was a little bit strange, too.

That’s when I started clicking around in the video. I wanted to find something – anything – that was more than just “familiar-sounding”. I wanted something that actually WAS familiar – something from an identifiable artist. Even better, somebody I had heard of.

Nothing. No identified artists. No identified songs – other than their names.

I picked one that sounded like it should be identifiable – “Forever In The Rain“. It had a slightly older feel. It might have been a classic I’d never heard of. I tried to search on the lyrics – but found nothing. Thus, it didn’t seem like an actual old classic. However, I WAS able to find it as a single video – and hopefully that would lead to the artist.

Nope. No artist. But it did lead to a bunch of similar songs, much like that compilation video.

I was even able to track these songs over to Apple Music. And as one might suspect, there was no identified artist on any of them.

https://music.apple.com/us/artist/sm-country-songs/1788315869

Here’s another one I investigated. And here is where I got some results, eventually.

This one clearly has an AI-generated “video” that goes with it.

The real question – was the music AI-generated, too? Well, two weeks after I first noticed this song, I also noticed that YouTube had now forced a DISCLAIMER onto the page.

Whispers in the Wind is a heartfelt country ballad that captures the enduring connection with a lost loved one. Set against the backdrop of serene countryside imagery, the song tells a story of love, memories, and hope that transcends time. With poetic lyrics and an emotive melody, it reflects on the subtle ways their presence is felt—in the rustling leaves, the golden hues of the meadow, and the guiding light of a star. It’s a song about finding comfort in cherished memories, carrying their wisdom forward, and feeling their love in the quiet moments of life. The soothing tones of acoustic guitar and gentle rhythms create a reflective and deeply moving listening experience. Whispers in the Wind is a reminder that even in absence, love remains forever true, carried in every breath and echoed in the wind.

So – yeah. AI-generated.

I don’t care. I like it.

AI is nothing but human intelligence, mixed, swirled, bottled and re-sold.
AI songs are nothing but human music, mixed, swirled, bottled and re-sold.

It may be a brave new world, but it doesn’t have to be a bad new world.

I think this AI music is great. Even though it’s a kind of “novel average of human greatness”, it’s still great. And if making great music, in a kind of generic way, is now possible – well, so be it.

I am still going to love REAL HUMAN country music – and maybe even love it more, because of this. But I won’t deny liking the synthetic stuff, too. Machines just don’t scare me.

Maybe I was just raised that way!

“Where Love Stays”

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread Thursday 20250130


Welcome.
Please visit this January 1st daily thread for the rules of the road,
which are few but important.


Header Image: 2024 Presidential Election Map by County

Do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

These are the kind of powerful words that motivated America’s founding fathers to create the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore,
and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. — Galatians 5:1

It is going to require a decision on our part to “stand firm” and “not submit again” before we are going to begin to take this seriously. But we have the help of God and the intensely determined support of our President, his team, and untold numbers of our fellow citizens.



We got our miracle.
America is back.
Now what?

Let us dedicate ourselves to seeking our place in the cleansing, healing, and rebuilding of this beautiful, resource-rich nation. Are we to pray? Of course. Are we to vote? Absolutely.

But we know there is much to do and not all is certain. We might find ourselves asking, “What am I to do in these amazing days of transformation?” God will guide us.


Priorities.

The Trump-Vance Administration Priorities page @ WhiteHouse.gov provides us with the eagle’s eye view of where we are going. Notice the order of these priorities. Safety of the people first! May the Lord grant us wisdom, strength, and good success.

MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN

  • President Trump will take bold action to secure our border and protect American communities.
  • This includes ending Biden’s catch-and-release policies, reinstating Remain in Mexico, building the wall, ending asylum for illegal border crossers, cracking down on criminal sanctuaries, and enhancing vetting and screening of aliens.
  • President Trump’s deportation operation will address the record border crossings of criminal aliens under the prior administration.
  • The President is suspending refugee resettlement, after communities were forced to house large and unsustainable populations of migrants, straining community safety and resources.
  • The Armed Forces, including the National Guard, will engage in border security, which is national security, and will be deployed to the border to assist existing law enforcement personnel.
  • President Trump will begin the process of designating cartels, including the dangerous Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations and use the Alien Enemies Act to remove them.
  • The Department of Justice will seek the death penalty as the appropriate punishment for heinous crimes against humanity, including those who kill law enforcement officers and illegal migrants who maim and murder Americans.

MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AND ENERGY DOMINANT AGAIN

  • The President will unleash American energy by ending Biden’s policies of climate extremism, streamlining permitting, and reviewing for rescission all regulations that impose undue burdens on energy production and use, including mining and processing of non-fuel minerals.
  • President Trump’s energy actions empower consumer choice in vehicles, showerheads, toilets, washing machines, lightbulbs and dishwashers.
  • President Trump will declare an energy emergency and use all necessary resources to build critical infrastructure.
  • President Trump’s energy policies will end leasing to massive wind farms that degrade our natural landscapes and fail to serve American energy consumers.
  • President Trump will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
  • All agencies will take emergency measures to reduce the cost of living.
  • President Trump will announce the America First Trade Policy.
  • America will no longer be beholden to foreign organizations for our national tax policy, which punishes American businesses.

DRAIN THE SWAMP

  • The President will usher a Golden Age for America by reforming and improving the government bureaucracy to work for the American people. He will freeze bureaucrat hiring except in essential areas to end the onslaught of useless and overpaid DEI activists buried into the federal workforce. He will pause burdensome and radical regulations not yet in effect that Biden announced.
  • President Trump is announcing an unprecedented slate of executive orders for rescission.
  • President Trump is planning for improved accountability of government bureaucrats. The American people deserve the highest-quality service from people who love our country. The President will also return federal workers to work, as only 6% of employees currently work in person.
  • President Trump is taking swift action to end the weaponization of government against political rivals and ordering all document retention as required by law. President Trump is also ending the unconstitutional censorship by the federal government. No longer will government employees pick and require the erasure of entirely true speech.
  • On the President’s direction, the State Department will have an America-First foreign policy.

BRING BACK AMERICAN VALUES

  • The President will establish male and female as biological reality and protect women from radical gender ideology.
  • American landmarks will be named to appropriately honor our Nation’s history.

Trying to Keep Up.

This page @ WhiteHouse.gov/news is a great place to follow along as everything begins to unfold. Every executive order shows up instantly and they just keep coming.

So much there: Articles. Briefings & Statements. Fact Sheets. Presidential Actions. Remarks.

A big Thank You to all the team serving in this administration!
And an even bigger Thank You to our 47th President, Donald J. Trump.


Twitterati.

Very recently I finally began to read in the X.com space. The platform is suspicious of me and therefore I do not have an account. Probably due to the basic efforts I’ve made to retain some level of privacy. Oh well.

The kind people here have shown me the way to view people’s feeds by using the Nitter.Poast.org site. It’s opened up a whole new world of information. Very helpful.

I have a new favorite follow. And I recommend her to you. Nicole Shanahan. She was RFK Jr’s running mate. She’s as informed, active and feisty as they come. Nicole Shanahan‘s feed is following the Senate confirmations and a LOT more.

For fresh news on our J6 people and a lot more, Julie Kelly might be the place to visit.


Prayer.

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.


DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250129 Opinions & Notes on the Medical Cases of Susie Sampson and Gail Combs.

At this point I can see at least three possible causes of Susie’s illness:

* Covid vax shedding,

* A bad and lingering case of the flu or

*Walking pneumonia

*I also think there is a fourth cause that I am seeing and many are missing. Permanent damage from covid/shedding that flares up when your system is stressed.

….

I started poking around the internet at about the same time Wolfie did. At the time I was not aware that “Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 [2009 Swine Flu] and A(H3N2) were the predominant viruses reported the week… ending January 11, 2025”CDC

THE FLU

H3N2 Flu Symptoms

No matter what strain of influenza is circulating each year, you need to know what to expect from the flu. H3N2 virus infection usually lasts between five and seven days but can cause a severe cough that lasts up to three weeks. Whether it is caused by H3N2 influenza A or another strain, typical flu symptoms include: …

H3N2 is one subtype of the influenza A virus that often causes significant illness. Flu seasons are often more severe when H3N2 is the dominant strain causing illness.

So one possibility is a lingering flu. However it should not be hanging around for months.

……

WALKING PNEUMONIA

What is walking pneumonia?Mayo Clinic

“Walking pneumonia” is an informal term for a common bacterial condition. It produces milder symptoms that appear more gradually than in other types of more serious pneumonia. Symptoms usually appear within two to three weeks of becoming infected and can continue for weeks. A cough could continue for months….

With walking pneumonia, you may feel like you have a cold. But symptoms are usually mild, so you likely won’t need bed rest or a hospital stay. You may not feel the need to stay home from work or school. So you may be out walking around. That’s how the illness got its name…

So a second possibility is an opportunistic bacterial infection that invades a weakened system.

…..

VACCINE SHEDDING

I am going to quote our resident expert, PAVACA on this.

[QUOTE]

PAVACA(@pavaca)  January 28, 2025 12:53 … #1404674

WOLF MOON —

Endless Thank You’s for today’s post. I don’t think this was an easy one to write.

I will weigh in with my thoughts:

IMO, our good DePat was a “sitting duck”, in some ways, for what I firmly believe was being terribly negatively affected by COVID-19 “vaccine” shedding.
— She was, for the last 18 months or so (perhaps longer), the caregiver for her late mother (who herself passed away from cardiac complications from the Moderna modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” doses that she had taken);
— During this period, and after her mother’s death, DePat took over the household work and responsibilities that her mother had done (cleaning, cooking, shopping, etc.)
Because of the above, IMO, there’s a good chance that her natural immune system was getting hammered on a regular basis.

— She also had to keep up a demanding professional schedule as a vocal soloist in her choir. This also meant doing daily vocal practice at home.
— She lived with other COVID-19 “vaccinated” members of her family (father and at least one brother.)
Because of the above,since there is a 99.999% likelihood that the other members of the choir were also COVID-19 “vaccinated”, she was potentially exposed to COVID-19 “vaccine” shedding on multiple occasions.

That leaves what happened to her on / around 17 November 2024 at choir rehearsal. This is the rehearsal where DePat was beside a choir member who had just been “boosted” with COVID-19 “vaccine” shot #4.

Many of the symptoms that DePat described about her condition after 17 November match those found in the Appendix 1. List of Adverse Events of Special Interest section of this report about BNT162b2, given to the FDA on 30 April 2021: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf
For examples: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (page 2 of the Appendix 1.); Cough (page 3); Inflammation (page 5).

But I will posit that there’s something else in play here: the LIPID NANOPARTICLES in the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” — the chemical compounds that carry the “payload” of the modRNA to every cell in the “vaccinated” person’s body — and are ALSO carried by the EXOSOMES in the “vaccinated” person’s body to places like the SKIN and onto the BREATH.

These LNPs are TOXIC and DANGEROUS. They were formulated so that the “vaccinated” person’s body either doesn’t recognize and destroy them; or, that the “vaccinated” person’s body DOES recognize them but can’t eliminate them.

Now, here’s the thing:
It’s now DIFFICULT to find complete MSDS Safety Sheets for the ALC-0159 or for the ALC-0315 lipid nanoparticles used in the Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.” One used to be able to see complete MSDS Safety Sheets on these compounds. Not now. In fact, Yours Truly has found multiple chemical company supplier websites stating that “customers must call for further information”; and, even “this information is not available to the general public. It is only available to the FDA.”

For example, the MSDS Safety Sheet information for ALC-0159 and for ALC-0315 by Cayman Chemical now has THIS for Section 4 of the MSDS for EACH of these compounds (below is for ALC-0159; for ALC-0315 it is the same):


HOWEVER, Yours Truly downloaded the MSDS for BOTH ALC-1059 AND for ALC-0315 back in 2023, BEFORE this 2024 revision was done. Here’s the Section 4 for ALC-0159 FROM 2022 (the Section 4 for ALC-0315 from 2022 is the same);

What I’m getting at here is that, IMO, our good DePat WAS COVID-19 “vaccine” shed upon by that choir member in November 2024; that she immediately began to have “Long COVID”-type effects from it; that the modRNA that was shed on DePat from the COVID-19 “booster shot” that the choir had just had ALSO contained the lipid nanoparticles ALC-0159 and ALC-0315, which then also shed onto DePat; and that a cascade of negative effects took over.

Below is a paper that describes the pro-inflammatory effects of the LPNs in the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”;

May our good DePat rest in eternal Peace.

[END QUOTE]

…..

I want to take a look at this paper PAVACA pointed to because I think it is KEY:

Pro-inflammatory concerns with lipid nanoparticles”

The development of ionizable cationic lipids has been a pivotal factor in the clinical success of lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-RNAi (Onpattro) and the two LNP-mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna).1,2 The ionizable cationic lipids demonstrate improved efficacy and safety compared with the permanently charged cationic lipids.1,2 
👉However, acute side effects such as pain, swelling, fever, and systemic inflammatory responses have been reported in many human subjects receiving LNP-mRNA vaccines.👈
Although these vaccines use N1-methyl-pseudouridine-modified RNA (which is poorly recognizable by the Toll-like receptors 7/8), it is not clear how these vaccines elicit reactogenicity, but this presumably indicates that LNPs have intrinsic adjuvant activity.3 Infusion-related adverse effects have been noted in up to 19% of patients receiving Onpattro….

….Considering the rare episodes of human anaphylactic reactions following LNP-mRNA vaccine administration,6 we cannot disregard a role for a subset of monocytes and dendritic cells in orchestrating these responses. Extensive studies are now needed to map the interactions between ionizable cationic lipids and intracellular pattern-recognition receptors and unravel integrated and multifaceted mechanisms by which these lipids induce inflammasome activation. Such information would be valuable for identification and tailoring of lipid-based adjuvant and delivery systems and for generating diversified portfolios of vaccine components and platforms to provide immunity in specific target tissues….
The success of LNP-based vaccines has prompted a surge in overenthusiastic research focused on the broader application of LNP-based nanomedicines.2 👉Considering the pro-inflammatory nature of the currently available ionizable cationic lipids,4,5 notably their undesirable immune cascade initiated through the IL-1β release, and of other cationic lipids,7 the potential application of LNPs for systemic administration must be viewed cautiously.👈 This is important, particularly when targeting biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier with intravenously administered LNPs for the intended delivery of nucleic acid medicine to brain parenchymal cells to combat neurological diseases and disorders, which could initiate severe inflammatory reactions in the brain either directly or through monocyte recruitment...

DEFINING TERMS

Reactogenicity

Reactogenicity represents the physical manifestation of the inflammatory response to vaccination, and can include injection-site pain, redness, swelling or induration at the injection site, as well as systemic symptoms, such as fever, myalgia, or headache.

Anaphylaxis

 Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. It can happen seconds or minutes after you’ve been exposed to something you’re allergic to.

Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is an exaggerated defense response of the body to a noxious stressor (infection, trauma, surgery, acute inflammation, ischemia or reperfusion, or malignancy, to name a few) to localize and then eliminate the endogenous or exogenous source of the insult….Even though the purpose is defensive, the dysregulated cytokine storm can cause a massive inflammatory cascade leading to reversible or irreversible end-organ dysfunction and even death.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) happens with repeated symptoms of anaphylaxis – allergic symptoms such as hives, swelling, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing and severe diarrhea….

An interview of a doctor that learned of Mast Cell Activation due to her daughter’s suffering of the condition. Goes into details of what is going wrong in the condition. I choose to suspend my reaction to one of her lines of work in order to learn more about this condition.

[I cut out the intro of what this doctor’s background is. GC]

Or macrophage activation syndrome.
Side note: Pepcid worked against CV as a histamine receptor blocker.

Reactive macrophage activation syndrome in a patient with parvovirus B19 infection, lymphocytic lichenoid vasculitis, urticaria and angioedema

Introduction

A 47-year-old woman had a history of episodic acute intermittent angioedema and urticaria with moderate pruritus for one month. She was on 10 mg of loratadine daily. She had a fever of 39°C, arthralgia, fatigue, and angioedema of the upper respiratory tract. Laboratory results are shown in Table 1. She had elevated IgE (206 kU/L). The immunoassay for C1-esterase inhibitor was normal. She was treated with H1- and H2-blocking antihistamines, and methylprednisolone intravenously (1 mg/kg/day). Culture results and viral titers were negative except for a high positive titer of specific IgG antibody to parvovirus B19 of 11.1 (positive titer >1). On the third week of hospitalization, she deteriorated rapidly and developed a macular rash on the trunk and extremities with generalised lymphadenpathy, liver dysfunction and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) (Figure 1). A skin biopsy specimen was compatible with lymphocytic lichenoid vasculitis. An inflammatory pattern centered on the basal layer of the epidermis and upper dermis in a dense band-like distribution. Direct immunofluorescence showed no IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C1q and fibrinogen deposits. A bone marrow aspirate showed hemophagocytosis (Figure 2). Parvovirus B19 DNA was detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in bone marrow (Figure 3). Macrophage activation syndrome was confirmed. The patient was treated with methylprednisolone 250 mg/day intravenously and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) 0.55 g/kg BW/day for five consecutive days, followed by methylprednisolone 1 mg/kg daily. Fresh frozen plasma and enoxaparin were administered. Two days after treatment, she improved. Monthly infusions of IVIG were continued for 6 months. Corticosteroids were tapered gradually to 8 mg of methylprednisolone daily. On periodic follow-up, the patient was quite well without episodes of angioedema and no new skin lesions were seen. Our patient met all criteria for reactive macrophage activation syndrome (rMAS) outlined by Imashuku.

Useful definitions before we dive into a couple of papers on this subject:

Presynaptic Neuron – an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

As a convention, the neuron transmitting or generating a spike and incident onto a synapse is referred as the presynaptic neuron, whereas the neuron receiving the spike from the synapse is referred to as the postsynaptic neuron.

Hematopoiesis 

Hematopoiesis is the process through which the body manufactures blood cells…. Hematopoiesis is the production of all of the cellular components of blood and blood plasma. It occurs within the hematopoietic system, which includes organs and tissues such as the bone marrow, liver, and spleen.

Refractory chronic urticaria

Urticaria is a mast-cell-driven disease characterized by the development of transient pruritic wheals [hives] with or without associated angioedema [sudden swelling of the deep layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissues]… Chronic urticaria (CU) is defined by the presence of recurrent urticaria, angioedema, or both, for a period of 6 weeks or longer..

And now another paper:


Antihistamine: New Advancement in H1&H2 Receptor used for Pregnancy

ABSTRACT

…This study shows that H1 antihistamine therapy alone is not statistically better to combined H2 and H1 antihistamine therapy for the treatment of chronic urticaria symptoms. Histamine has been one of the biological amines most extensively studied in medicine. It encourages the contraction of smooth muscles and the release of stomach acid, enhances vascular permeability, functions as a neurotransmitter, and has a range of actions in the control of the immune system, allergies, inflammation, haematopoiesis, and cell division. Histamine works by attaching to the H1, H2, H3, and H4 receptors. H3 and H4 receptors are predominantly presynaptic and haematopoietic, respectively, whereas H1 and H2 receptors are widely dispersed. Human H1- and H2-histamine receptors were cloned and described in the early 1990s, followed a few years later by human H3- and H4-histamine receptors. The main treatment for chronic urticaria is second-generation non-sedating non-impairing H1 antihistamines. Then, the H1 antihistamines permitted dosage is raised by a factor of up to four

SO THERE ARE NOT TWO BUT FOUR HISTAMINE RECEPTORS.
Back to the paper:

INTRODUCTION

Histamine decarboxylase, an enzyme, creates histamine, a substance that occurs naturally in the body, entirely from l-histamine. It is expressed in cells all throughout the body, including basophils, mast cells, neurons in the central nervous system, and parietal cells in the stomach mucosa [1]. Histamine is a low-molecular-weight amine [2].

Histamine has a significant biological function in maintaining human health by acting on four different types of receptors. Cell proliferation and differentiation, haematopoiesis, embryonic development, regeneration, and wound healing are all impacted by it. In Histamine is produced by the mammalian central nervous system, neurons that only contain cell bodies in the posterior hypothalamic tuberomamillary nucleus, and axons that deliver histamine to the frontal and temporal cortexes and other regions of the brain. [3,4]. With the identification of certain histamine receptors, we have learned a lot more about the effects of histamine in the past ten years. Now, it is known that histamine binds to four distinct binding sites (H 1 -, H 2 -, H 3 -, and H 4 -receptors)[5,6,7]. Sneezing, nasal obstruction, itching, and rhinorrhoea are the primary early allergic response symptoms caused by activation of the H 1 -receptor by histamine binding. Leukotrienes, prostaglandins [8, 9], and other cytokines are also produced in greater amounts when H 1 receptors are activated, which also occurs before the late phase of an allergic reaction [10,11]. Several physiological and pathological processes, including skin allergies, “septic inflammation, and various neutral transmission and digestion [15, 16]. The histamine receptors found in the skin are partially blocked by H1 antihistamines. The purpose of this clinical trial was to determine whether a combination therapy using H1 (hydroxyzine) and H2 (cimetidine) antihistamines is more effective than H1 antihistamines alone in treating patients with refractory chronic idiopathic urticaria [20,21]. Histidine decarboxylase, an enzyme, catalyses a reaction in which the amino acid LHistidine is decarboxylated to produce histamine (HDC). Mast cells, Histamine are produced in large numbers by basophiles, enterochromaffin-like cells of the stomach mucosa, and histaminergic neurones. These cells also store histamine within the cells in specialised storage granules.

First-generation antihistamines, often referred to as sedating antihistamines, were the initial group of these medications to be developed. Examples include diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine, and promethazine.

Second-generation or non-sedating antihistamines were developed to address the shortcomings of first-generation antihistamines. These medications, including cetirizine, fexofenadine, and loratadine, are more selective for the H1 receptor and exhibit a lower capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier, leading to fewer side effects in the central nervous system (CNS)…

H2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs)


Histamine H2-receptor antagonists for urticaria

H2RAs are used clinically in the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal conditions, such as peptic ulcer disease, gastrooesophageal reflux, and dyspepsia…

Medications contained in this group include cimetidine, famotidine, ranitidine, roxatidine, lafutidine, and nizatidine, most of which are available as oral preparations….

There is still a degree of uncertainty as to the precise mode of action of H2RAs. Histamine is a potent mediator of immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Fifteen per cent of the histamine receptors in the skin are H2-receptors, and it is acknowledged that human skin mast cells, which store histamine also express H2-receptors (Lippert 2004). The H2RAs are reversible structural analogs (a chemical compound with a slightly altered chemical structure) of histamine that cause a decrease in the tonic activation rate of the receptor. Thus, these agents act as inverse agonists (agents that bind to the same receptor binding-site as an agonist for that receptor and reverse the activity of receptors) with a functional antagonism of histamine activity, hence, reducing the histamine activity on the receptor sites. In this way they may be able to block histamine release and curtail, or even prevent, symptoms of urticaria from occurring. It has also been suggested that one of these H2RAs, cimetidine, has an immunomodulator function (Nielsen 1996) and may have a role to play in chronic autoimmune urticaria….

This time I am getting only a slight improvement from the Ivermectin.

My next step is to head to the medical clinic where I will probably be given Prednisone (a cortisone) and an antibiotic to take care of any infection in my lungs.

MY CONCLUSION

I have had allergies for years and I am pretty good at telling the difference between an illness and an allergy. I am seeing zero indication of an illness.

A very good allergist once told me to think of my allergies as a bucket that you are filling up. You can get away with chocolate. You can get away with strawberries and even cantaloupe. BUT put them all together and you get hives.

What I am wondering is if we are seeing permanent alterations in our bodies, or just a higher load of toxins like spike shedding and perhaps crap that has been sprayed in the air.

And that brings me to the last bit of information H/T to the video from Gudthots.

 What the bleep can I eat?!

This has lists of food for those with specific food intolerance including histamine. This is a second listing: Foods High in Histamine

I SURE HOPE SO!

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250128 ❀ Call for Authors ❀ Scientific Opinions on the Medical Case of Susie Sampson

A continuation of Dear DePat’s Tuesday Open Thread

A call for weekly open-thread authors on Tuesday and Thursday

A discussion of various pathological possibilities, including some new ones, and an explanation of why I lean toward particular theories


First of all, the boilerplate.

By reference, I call to incorporate the rules spoken of in any of Deplorable Patriot’s recent posts, such as her final one.


With that settled, I jump to the second item on the agenda.

A call for weekly open-thread authors on Tuesday and Thursday.

I know this seems abrupt, but DePat’s obituary has already published, and I’m already going to talk about even more sensitive topics now – by request – so I don’t feel too much guilt in making sure that DePat’s MISSION of keeping this site running is fully taken care of.

The best thing that we can do, in my opinion, to maintain Susie’s legacy in the MAGA world, is to keep all of her posts here (just under 1000 of them) online and searchable. SO – we need new authors for Tuesday and Thursday, to keep this site running.

Gudthots is thinking about taking over Thursday.

Do we have anybody else, who would like to do Tuesday? Which means that the post goes up Monday night, scheduled for one minute after midnight (I can help with this).

Just to be clear to potential authors, these daily threads are YOUR BABIES – meaning they don’t have to be anything like the way that DePat did them. In fact, it’s probably better not to. I invite new authors to come up with their own new styles.

We do have a very thin guideline post of basics in the sidebar, shown here:

We were actually more rigorous about format then, but it does help that daily open posts publish on the day listed in the title, and that the titles have a searchable format.

Anyway, if you are interested, just leave a comment.

If you are shy about saying something, you can always do “PMTW” (see “Contact”), commenting on this post, and then I can respond anonymously in public, although I recommend just being open.

Looking forward to somebody picking up DePat’s second sword.

angel sword 2021-08-08 10-46-04.png

And now for the big item.

A discussion of various pathological possibilities, including some new ones, and an explanation of why I lean toward particular theories.

I begin by citing relevant portions of FG&C’s report on the “sudden and unexpected” passing of Susie, which he communicated to me privately.


7-8 weeks ago Susie attended a choir rehearsal, during which she had stood right next to a fellow choir member who she learned afterwards had been Covid vax-boosted for the 4th time that day. Perhaps she mentioned at some point in these pages that in the time since that night she believed she had contracted “long Covid”, experiencing physical weakness, insomnia, a persistent cough, and low appetite. She believed she had inhaled “spike proteins” shedding from the woman she stood next to that night at rehearsal, stating that had she known the woman had been so recently vaxxed she would never have gotten so close to her.

Recently, she had stated she was feeling better, the cough all but gone, and in the past week felt she had gotten over the insomnia hump and was getting good rest. I was optimistic. However, on Monday AM….inauguration day….her brother discovered her in her bedroom, unresponsive, after becoming concerned he had not heard her moving about and she had not come downstairs. Paramedics were subsequently unable to resuscitate her, and it is currently believed she suffered a heart attack and passed away in her sleep. After many attempts to reach her (we texted daily), her brother called me this afternoon with the news. I knew you would want to know as well.


I am going to tease this apart very gently, so that you can see all the possibilities that we’re actually dealing with.

Point 1 – “Shedding”

Now, if you were following along with DePat’s posts in recent weeks, then you realize that she was very convinced that she had been subject to shedding of [COVID-19 vaccine-created] spike protein.

The first problem there, is that very near the end, DePat realized that the vaccine-originated shedding would more likely have been the spike mRNA, not the spike protein.

Here is her comment, which was in fact her third-to-last, made on January 17, 2025.


https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/covid-19-vaccine-shedding-experiences “What We’ve Learned from Over a Thousand Vaccine Shedding Reports”, by A Midwestern Doctor, 7 January 2024 (detailing the phenomenon of COVID-19 “vaccine” shedding, and how such shedding affects people);

This one is particularly scary as it claims the shedding is due to mRNA and not the spike protein. Drat.

Does anyone have further evidence on this or a rebuttal? I always thought it was just the spike protein. So far, no heart issues or unexplained pain, true brain fog (I’m sleepy today as the insomnia is FINALLY subsiding. I slept a LOT in the last 24 hours.), or any of the other hard core stuff. A LOT of stiffness keeping warm, and the return of some relatively normal complaints for me in winter.

Fortunately, we haven’t given away the bulk of my mother’s tools she used for the last so many years of her life after the hip replacement, and subsequent ailments. They’ve come in handy. I have another friend who is helping me out in a lot of ways. The next week will be a challenge temperature wise and then I can at least sit in the front door and soak up radiant heat as the sun comes out. Less than a half hour is recommended.

I’ve decided to use this experience as part of writing about an elderly or disabled person. There’s too much challenge at this point to really articulate it, but this is for the birds even if the worst of it is fatigue.

And, yes, stay away from crowds and people you know who get boosters.


So – let me just spell this out. DePat realized that vaccine shedding could be the spike protein, but that it’s more likely (and more dangerously) to be the spike protein mRNA enclosed in lipid nanoparticles that can get into cells. It is by this mechanism that much more spike protein could be created in the body of the shedding recipient.

Not a pleasant thought.

Now – just a side note. DePat and I had discussed all this, many times, WAY BACK in late spring of 2021, so she knew this stuff years ago. Thus, I really believe that she had some brain fog recently. And we know from her comments – DePat understood that she had brain fog, too, despite the fact that it was interfering with her memory.

Years ago, she and I had speculated on the shedding of spike protein, to explain things which were being observed in people close to vaccine recipients. Unlike DePat, I was not a believer in “shedding”, but when Naomi Wolf started reporting observations consistent with some kind of shedding phenomenon, I came up with a scientifically solid explanation of how shed spike protein could actually cause such symptoms, if the spike protein had highly potent, oxytoxin-like pharmacological activities.

The idea of spike protein shedding seemed plausible AS IS, but when Pfizer’s own data, released to vaccine skeptics by the Japanese government, showed the vaccine itself persisting and migrating in test animals, it became clear that shedding of the VACCINE would be an even better explanation.

Which I posted about.

The point about snake venoms and spike protein is an ANALOGY – it’s not direct – but it’s very useful in understanding both potencies and pharmacological and pathological actions.

I want people to understand this. EVEN if it was just the spike protein being shed, if that protein is even slightly like snake venom in pathogenicity, then it behooves us to look at how snake venoms are dealt with in real life.

Specifically, when cages of venomous snakes are being cleaned, those present have to actually wear respirators. Not just masks – respirators. That is because the dust from dried snake venom in venomous snake cages can literally cause dangerous symptoms in people cleaning the cages.

SO – I want people to understand that DePat had a good theory here – namely, the theory that she got many lung-fulls of either spike protein, or (more dangerously) vaccine nanoparticles, from that vaccine-injected choirmate of hers.

According to this theory, not only did the “shed” vaccine cause typical vaccine-related symptoms – it potentially caused myocarditis, aortal embolism, blood clots, or any one of the many serious cardiovascular events that the vaccines are capable of causing.

This is actually a really reasonable theory.

However, it’s not the only one.


Point 2 – Nicotine

DePat’s last post indicates that she was continuing to use nicotine patches as an off-label way to “inhibit spike protein”. Here is that post.


I’m trying, be sure of that.

Others in my family aren’t. They think this will all go away just with ivermectin. I’m not done with the nicotine protocol yet.


OK – so what is this “nicotine protocol”?

The TL;DR is that one of the alternative medical treatments for “spike protein” / “long COVID” – and particularly “brain fog” – is medicinal nicotine, either as chewing gum, patches, or sublingual.

But before I get into this treatment, it’s helpful to see when and where DePat began investigating nicotine as a solution to her ailment. The entire conversation is very instructive, and begins here, where DePat began asking all of us for suggestions about treatment of her condition.

Okay, I need to pick a few brains.

After talking over symptoms with a friend who is in the same boat as many of us are with the COVID shots – she didn’t take them, but her husband did and she’s now suffering with the side effects despite all sorts of alternative treatment – I think whatever this is that I have is related to a choir member getting a booster last month and exposing me. The fatigue symptoms pretty much match what she had. Just unloading and loading the dishwasher is a challenge. Forget actual housework which desperately needs to be done. (When the kids get here on Saturday, I’m using them to deck the halls.) This crap is for real.

Other than making a run for Tennessee, which really isn’t that bad of a drive from here, for Ivermectin, any ideas? My friend ordered me a nebulizer and is willing to help me use it to break up biofilm, etc., but is there anything in anyone’s arsenal of natural remedies that may help? I had a talk with our Lord and Savior at Eucharistic Adoration today, and I’m hoping my Novena for wellness is doing some good, but, really, I have a lot to do and no energy to do it. Just about every old injury has flared up – especially in my torso which are pretty much all from singing – and some other things.

I just want and need this to go away.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

P.S. please pray for a cousin, A, and her husband, K, who are suddenly expecting identical twins over the summer. it’s a CLASSIC case of you make plans, God laughs. They are in their late thirties, and their toddler was born via c-section due to pre-eclampsia. Fortunately, her OB services are through a Vanderbilt extension, so we’re all hoping for the best.

P.P.S. Next week, we are going to have a house full of people, so the posts will be placeholders of a sort. I’m going to resurrect an old one and draft something new for the day after Christmas. Just a head’s up.


Now, at that time, all of us came in with a wide variety of suggestions, but one late response came from a hitherto lurking account, I Hate Acronyms, now registered as Sigma.


Very long time lurker here from the great Q purge OT. Please consider nicotine patches. The highest strength, cut into fourths. Apply one of the fourths to your skin, replacing with a fresh one daily. Do a search on Rumble for “nicotine and spike proteins”. “Nicotine vs nanotech”
If they are going to work, you should see results within days, if not hours. Non-addictive.


As I felt this was earnest and helpful advice, and that the nicotine method had solid science behind it, I approved the comment immediately, hoping it might help DePat.

I am sure that DePat thoroughly investigated this, and found all the same information that I did. If you dig deep enough and far enough on this, you will find all of the following.

  • there are valid scientific reasons to think nicotine might work as a treatment for “long COVID” / “long vax” / “spike protein”
  • there is a wide range of voices supporting treatment with nicotine
  • those voices include more “controversial” ones like Dr. Bryan Ardis and Dr. Tau Braun
  • they also include more widely respected ones like Dr. Peter McCullough
  • there are also discrediting connections to “nanomachines” and the like, which I ignore
  • for some people with long COVID, nicotine has helped when nothing else has worked

I advise just doing the recommended Rumble searches, to learn more.

For example, this video shows a variety of scientific papers which not only explain why nicotine affects spike protein-based symptoms, but also show demonstrated clinical benefit in actual patients.

LINK: https://rumble.com/v5wubbq-nicotine-protects-you-from-shedding.html

But now addressing a bigger question.

I do NOT suspect that nicotine poisoning was involved in DePat’s death. Toxic levels of nicotine result in very obvious symptoms (nausea, vomiting, tremors, vertigo, flushing, palpitations, etc.) that quickly make people back off on whatever means by which they were ingesting nicotine. I know, because the first cigar I ever smoked sent me into nicotine poisoning. People learn very quickly how to dose nicotine correctly.

DePat was actually getting some positive results with this method. More specifically, it was making her feel better. I personally think her efforts would have been more successful under a doctor’s supervision (preferably one connected to FLCCC or the like), but when I suggested “doctors and tests” to DePat, she was not a fan.

DEPAT: I’m wondering if some of this fatigue is coming from trying to stay warm in a drafty house.

Hmmm….

ME: That sounds very likely to me.

Your body basically sends your periphery into overdrive to stay warm. Long johns / thick leggings and a sweater indoors can be very helpful. Feeling warm indoors can stabilize you.

Also wondering if your doctor is running a yearly thyroid check (TSH) If the numbers are odd or marginal, you may have something going on there.

DEPAT: Doctor? I learned my lesson with conventional medicine a long time ago.

It just seems the bad days are colder.


LINK: https://www.theqtree.com/2024/12/16/dear-kmag-20241216-trump-won-three-times-%e2%9d%80-open-topic/#comment-1383534

ME: Sounds a lot like COVID. Have you tested yourself at any point?

DEPAT: No. But I was exposed to two people who had their boosters over a month ago. The coughing fits started on the 17th last month. True weakness and needing to sit down for tasks the three days before Thanksgiving. I think I’m just about at the end.


In my opinion, DePat really needed a complete physical checkup, if only because it might have picked up any underlying conditions. But even more than that, there was a need for better diagnosis of what was ailing her. Simply assuming that it was vaccine shedding was risky, IMO.

Point 3 – COVID-19

Notice that I had asked DePat about COVID. The symptoms of being a “shedding recipient” should be almost the same as “long vax” – which should be very similar to the disease itself. Even more to the point, it is extremely easy to pick up COVID in a place like a choir. In fact, it only takes a much smaller dose of an infectious organism, than it does of a “shed vaccine”, to cause the exact same kind of problems that DePat was having.

DePat seemed very resistant to the idea that she might have had COVID or a similar ILI (influenza-like illness). However, to rule out an actual disease takes some effort. And to PREVENT disease takes even more.

Was she taking her temperature daily or twice daily? As far as I know, NO.
Was she taking ivermectin AT ALL, much less regularly? NO.
Was she taking vitamin D? Had she ever tested her levels of vitamin D? NO.
Was she taking enough zinc? I don’t think she was taking ANY zinc.

DePat’s situation was a lot like Wheatie’s. She KNEW – more or less – what sorts of things might be useful if she ever got COVID, but she had NOT prepared by having those things purchased, fully understood, and on hand, ready for trouble. Even more, she was not ready to DIAGNOSE COVID.

I KNOW that I have had COVID three times, because I’ve done the testing and clinical work to make absolutely firm diagnosis. I know that what I have right now is most certainly influenza, and NOT COVID.

And that brings me to my next point.

Point 4 – Influenza

I think it is VERY likely that DePat had the very nasty influenza that is going around right now, which singingsoul1 suffered from greatly, at almost the same time as DePat, and which I am suffering from at this very moment. As is my wife – so I am studying TWO cases, almost identical.

  • “feel bad”
  • aches and pains
  • persistent cough
  • no appetite
  • insomnia
  • chills
  • fatigue
  • sense of smell OK
  • stuffy sinuses and phlegm – mostly upper respiratory
  • “forget doing housework”
  • need a nebulizer (I use saline spray, myself)

Everything DePat was saying about what she was suffering, sounds like what I’m suffering right now. And, in fact, what MANY people are suffering right now.

And here’s the kicker. Influenza is a PRIME candidate for setting up a heart attack afterwards.

https://health.clevelandclinic.org/can-the-flu-trigger-a-heart-attack

I know that many of you (like me) might suspect that this angle is pure post-clot-shot “explain away the vaccine heart attacks” bullshit, BUT the fact is, influenza has ALWAYS been notorious for killing old people, and heart attacks is one of the ways that it does it. Viral diseases – colds and flu – are also notorious as initiators of pericarditis and myocarditis. They didn’t have to make this shit up, to use it to deflect from their horrible vaccines.

As I love to say, there’s no cover like the truth.

Now – one might think DePat would have known if she had the flu, but this thing my wife and I have, has proven to be surprisingly low-fever – especially for my wife. Even after the fever has subsided, we still feel very ill. Were I not monitoring our temperatures every day, getting actual numbers, and signal over noise, it would have been easy to dismiss this thing as something other than influenza.

At numerous times during the last week, I have thought that maybe this was something other than influenza. But the reality keeps coming back, as I read more and more solid information about influenza and its treatment. What I have – what my wife has – what singingsoul had – and what DePat likely had – was a long, slow case of influenza, with a long recovery time.

Bear in mind that viral diseases often leave patients stuffy and suffering many symptoms for 60 days (2 months), long after the virus is gone. That fits perfectly with the timescale that DePat reported.

I think it is very critical to make a correct diagnosis, and to beware of reflexive “it’s the vaccine” thinking, when DISEASE never went away as a significant threat. Maybe even a MORE significant threat.

It’s entirely possible that DePat was exposed to “shed vaccine” – but I would argue that it’s more possible she was exposed to a nasty flu, didn’t have the right tools to diagnose or treat it, and damage by this flu ultimately led to a heart attack or stroke.

Either way, I now urge everybody – investigate treatments ahead of time. Don’t wait for being sick, because you won’t make it to the store – you won’t make that long trip to Tennessee – you won’t figure out which drug, where to get it, and how to take it.

Do all that ahead of time, if you want to live.

With that, I invite people to give me THEIR opinions. Feel free to disagree with me! After all, we have free speech back. THANK GOD!!!

Finally, this. Say a prayer for DePat and her family – grieve as you need, and you WILL need – but trust that God knows what God is doing, and seek comfort in that knowledge.

Trust in God. He is with us, and DePat is with Him.

All the best,

Dear KMAG: 20250127 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic


This is our President.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


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).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is still under Occupation by hostile forces, but we are evicting those forces!

Daily outrage and epic phuckery still abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win, long after we got His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

damoiseau

noun

  • male form of damsel
  • a young man not yet dubbed a knight
  • a young gentleman who was not yet a knight but aspired to be one
  • a young nobleman accompanying his lord or lady to hunt, walk, travel, etc.

MUSIC!

What kind of music do you get back when you search on “damoiseau”? Well, somewhere down the page you get one of cthulhu’s favorite bands – “Pample Moose” or whatever. So let’s just go with it!

Yup. And DOQ is not kidding! Seven year delta.

Yup. As was said on this board earlier today……

Trump world problems! Almost as bad as too much winning!

Susie Q is right. Something is going on here. And it’s good!


Remember Kary Mullis? Establishment popularization science remembers him, and while Veritasium keeps the expected diss of this gnarly dissident fairly gentle, their coverage fills in a lot of blanks, and is appreciated by this more lupine dissident. Don’t worry – you’ll still like Kary – maybe even a little more after watching this.

A toast to Kary! And today, we’ll skip the LSD, but maybe rum is appropriate.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

American Stores: When in the Course of human events – Part 4

This series is now dedicated to DeplorablePatriot, Susie Sampson. RIP and enjoy the company of Heaven, friend. We will carry on here and try to do you proud.

The post below probably reflects the more crude sentiments of most of the 77+ million voters for President Trump, which was probably over 90 million if all of his votes were actually counted.

Pardon me as I leave my Christian virtue outside the door. It will return after my next statements.

Our righteous anger has consequences. That summarizes how my current day fellow Sons and Daughters of Liberty feel. That unity and mercy shiz at the enemy’s request and terms ends now. There must be full compliance with the principles of the Declaration of Independence and provisions in the Constitution or GTFO to every person within our borders from this point on.

The scoundrels said and did what they said and did. Even with that President Trump is reaching across the aisle to encourage working together, just on our terms and not theirs. It will not work and he can say he tried. They will only do so reluctantly and will return to their evil ways at the first opportunity. l much prefer we move on to the obvious conclusion. They have no remorse for what they have done to him or us. They will continue to obstruct, lie and deceive. Yet, it will not stop what is coming.

Judgment Day.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled, but applicable, programming. Well, maybe after one more discussion. As you will probably figure out, I have clearly gone off the rails with this posted story. 😂

Coincidently

Was Inauguration Day great or what?! That day is one for the ages, it will likely never be topped. Celebration with each statement he made and EO he signed. Inspiring speeches. meaningful prayers and fun music abounded. The wonderful happy faces of people celebrating filled me with joy. Patriotism and expressions of faith are returning in full force. The majority of Americans have hungered for this day and were sick of the dangerous, corrupted, woke nanny state we had become. For psychological effects, nothing tops J6 for rebellion against Americans by the feds and their minions. Yet, we patriots know that all of the power plays by the leftists and cabal have been illegal and treasonous in nature. When many of the cops and judges break bad, it is a painfully hard thing to return the law and order of the American Way. That begins in earnest now.

EO after EO. Confirmation after confirmation of meaningful actions to come. Reconciliation bill(s) on tap per Speaker Johnson that will codify Execrative Orders and Actions into law with a united GOP paving the way for a change is what will benefit We the People the most. Thank you POTUS! 🇺🇸

Now, let’s get the election system in order so that cheating ends forever.

Treaties, Pacts And Deceptions

The following is one man’s observations and opinions in just one major aspect of our rights as citizens. The reader is free to agree or disagree, it is the American Way and your right to do so thanks to the founding fathers and now, President Trump. I encourage it. Regardless of your position, the subject is one of major focus by POTUS and his cabinet. Treaties and trade pacts will be up for constant withdrawal, negotiation, execution and discussion. America is going to be aggressive economically as well as geographically. With multi polarity the topic of international discussions, expect the first step to be toward a lockdown control of North America with inroads of increased relations in Central and South America. The Abraham Accords will also return to the stage soon.

As a result it seems appropriate to begin this part on Declaration signers with a summary discussion of treaties and pacts. Many folks ignore or forget that treaties and bi/multi lateral pacts are legal and binding between peoples and nations only as long as they are honored by all parties. They die in value the very second a party(ies) violates regardless of legal language in the treaty or pact that provides remedies. The reason is the violators nearly always know they are violating. The violated can never fully trust the violators again. There are no independent, neutral arbiters of violated treaties and pacts that have the ability and authority to enforce. For the most part there are no real “mistakes” or “errors of omission or commission”. The documents are negotiated and reviewed in great detail before execution. The parties know what they are doing.

Violations of treaties and pacts lead to all types of conflicts and wars on the battlefields, economically, with terrorism, with criminal activities and so on. Honoring a legal agreement that has been violated by a party to it is foolishness. The violator has openly provided a sign of a lack of respect and honorable intent. For an example, who first violated provisions of the NATO/Russia Founding Act of 1997 when each party stated they did not consider the other adversaries? Who violated the Minsk Accords in 2014 with a color revolution? Now look where things are today in the subject nation of Ukraine. Why bother signing agreements when neither party can trust the other to hold up their end of the deal? It is lipstick on the pig and We the People need to wise up to not fall for political maneuvering and theater.

Next, drill down to the individual rights of all people in the above referenced comments. You have now entered into the “natural rights” of all people individually to which our American founding fathers speak in the Declaration. In fact, it is the basis for everything that comes thereafter in our nation’s history. Those same rights were granted at the dawn of creation by the Creator. OUR collective American nation is governed by that principle and law per the Declaration and Constitution that followed. It was the understanding of our founding fathers and all American patriots. It has been in our governing documents since execution.

As a result, anything or anybody operating outside of those documents; any laws or regulations that violate that understanding; any foreign interests that impose their wills against it; even Satan himself doing his thing: None have any authority to act opposed to those governed by the founding document and resulting Constitution. We have the natural rights to toss any conflicting statute, law, rule, regulation, etc. out and overthrow anybody that attempts to enforce them. In fact, our founding documents indicate it is our responsibility to do so.

To illustrate the point of the intertwining of our nation’s formation and Christianity, what is the first sentence in the 1783 Treaty of Paris that officially brought an end to Revolutionary War hostilities and freed the states from British oppression?

In the Name of the most Holy & undivided Trinity.

The Treaty was willingly executed by both nations to end the conflict. They each acknowledged the above reference quote. They agreed the document was being executed in good faith in the presence of the most high, holy God in the form of the Trinity. Anytime a person or entity tells you that America was not founded on Christianity or is not a Christian nation, tell them to go pound sand and to read the Declaration of Independence and the Treaty of Paris. You have seen the references to the Creator and His providence in the Declaration and its affirmation in the Constitution. Now you see it and a direct reference to the Trinity in the Treaty that granted America its full independence. So enough with the lies and propaganda. Full stop. The Holy Word of God is the final authority on all matters.

Further…

“His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free sovereign and Independent States; that he treats with them as such, and for himself his Heirs & Successors, relinquishes all claims to the Government, Propriety, and Territorial Rights of the same and every Part thereof.”

Freedom.

We see that the Constitution that was subsequently executed a few years later is valid in that Americans had treaty granted rights to do as they pleased in terms of government and national formation. Great Britain was out. At least until they tried to force their way in again in 1812, which led to the Treaty of Ghent two years later.

Which is a major point. Treaties are good until they aren’t. But know this, no amount of deception such as was performed in 1913 is legal per the founding documents. They are direct violations of established principles in the Declaration and law in the Constitution. For example, there is no legitimate national indebtedness to the City of London as some supposed, just like there is no legitimate national indebtedness to the Federal Reserve. Americans are about to get educated if I read the tea leaves right. President Trump and fellow patriots are going to rip down the veil and tear it to shreds.

To summarize, our elected leaders and their appointees have no authority to enter into any treaty or pact that does not have America First. America was not first with the Paris Agreement on climate, the funding of WHO through the UN and many others in recent memory. We should sign nothing that does not have America and its citizens first. If our government does not do that they are operating in opposition to the law from the founding documents that rule our nation. If there is a need of We the People that is pressing, the governing officials have no legal right to give the funding to any foreign nation or interests before us. Every Congress critter and POTUS who has done that is corrupted and violated their oaths of office.

The Declaration of Independence is the vision and authority for the American experience, the American Way. It also provided a citation of violations of the King and Great Britain against the colonies. Do the listed violations sound familiar? Many are similar to what we have experienced currently from our own government that has pushed down heavily on We the People. Many of our leaders and citizens are still connected to the Crown and other blood suckers just as they were in the Revolutionary War period.

The Constitution is the modus operandi for how we live and operate as a nation. The statutes, laws, rules and regulations that flow from it must be in accordance and also be in sync with the Declaration. Even SCOTUS rulings that violate the goals, intentions and mission of those documents are null and void. Any legal precedents they establish that violate natural laws are invalid. We only have to look to the recent COVID related mandates to understand how and why. For example, Roe v. Wade was finally seen by the SCOTUS to be an unconstitutional violation that a previous SCOTUS made and others upheld through the decades that followed. The more current court chose to honor the founding documents that established a republic in opposition to the new age Federalists that pushed for central governance and control. This recent decision led to the people in each state being able to legally determine to honor or not honor the natural rights of the conceived, but not yet born; which is how this republic is supposed to work.

All people are acknowledged as being created equally by the Bible as well as in the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution is written to reflect that understanding. Again…

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Knowing that even some of the same patriots who brought us that language permitted slavery of “equal” men and women with certain “unalienable Rights” to exist in the new nation. If the quoted language is to be believed, which it should be, the view of many of We the People that slaves were property was obviously dead wrong. It is no wonder that as soon as America officially existed, it had internal strife that culminated in a horrific, bloody war less than a century later that had slavery as well as other major issues attached such as banking wars, industrialist control issues, treatment of native American Indians, misuse of central government over states’ rights, buying religious endorsements from the pulpits, corrupting higher education, and so on.

All of the deception can throw individuals and nations off track. The saboteurs and evil doers know that and use it to gain an upper hand. Because America is dedicated to God clearly in the Declaration and affirmed in the Constitution as well as the Treaty of Paris, eventually slavery would cease to exist. It was inevitable. But flawed leaders and parts of society resisted as people are want to do just as they do today. In the early days of our nation the existence of slavery in the United States led to their using it as an excuse for starting another war to reclaim their still perceived possession of the colonies in violation of the Treaty of Paris that they previously signed “In the Name of the most Holy & undivided Trinity.

And the circle goes round and round and…

It is my personal belief that the Declaration is one of the greatest documents ever produced in human existence and that it was guided by the hand of God. Many of the expressions contained within reflect related messages of the Bible.

With this understanding and in contrast, what would you do if opposed to our founding documents? If war did not work; infiltrate and circumvent, of course.

That has been what has happened to America since it won the Revolutionary War. Do you want to know the primary reasons why Sons of Liberty wild men John Hancock, Samuel Adams and others had voiced concerns and reservations about approving the Constitution after winning the war? After much consternation and debate, consider that that those two finally agreed to go along and vote to approve it. Their influence swung the state’s vote to approval in Boston, the Cradle of Liberty. The short Wiki link below is accurate and briefly explains this compromise. You can find numerous historical accounts if you want to dig deeper.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts_Compromise

The actual vote was 187 – 168 in favor. If only 10 people had voted differently things would have been messier. Hancock and Adams were deeply concerned that the young nation would descend into chaos and ruin without its ratification even though they believed parts of it were flawed. So they forced a compromise with the central government supporters, the Federalists, that formed our Bill of Rights and many of the legal principles and related provisions that provide individual freedoms associated with natural rights.

Failure to approve would have been worrisome since they had just led a bloody, destructive revolution that was based on and assured those rights for the colonists. Logically, all should have been unanimously voting in support of the natural rights of the people in a republican form of government. I guess liberty and freedom is never fully understood and accepted even by all who benefit.

Basically we have been at some form of war since the revolution. The battlefronts and war types have changed, but the worldly and fallen angel heavenly forces allied against us are still the same. If we had no value, were of no consequence to the world or Heaven, I dare say we would not be at war continuously. Apparently, we are very valuable to both camps.

So as Joshua said in Joshua 24:15 and I have repeated often in my stories, “But if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served, which were beyond the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (NASB)

Sounds like a Godly version of what Samuel Adams might say.

Now on to two more of our Declaration signers.

William Elery

Born in Newport, RI in 1727, William Elery was the second son of a merchant father of the same name along with his wife, Elizabeth. His father educated him until he entered Harvard at age 16, graduating four years later while excelling in Greek and Latin. For many years afterwards he tried to find a career that suited him. At first he was a merchant, then collector of Custom taxes, and eventually the recording clerk of the General Assembly. Finally at age 43, after his parents were deceased and he had received a large estate, he found his calling and became an attorney and judge. He joined the Sons of Liberty in Rhode Island and became a representative at the Continental Congress when the previous representative, Samuel Ward died. When it came time to sign the Declaration he boldly approached. “I watched everyone sign, as I was determined to see how they looked as they gave their names to what might be their death warrant.” He had been moved by their “undaunted resolution” while doing so.

Just like many of the patriot founding fathers and signers of the Declaration, he found his home had been ransacked and burned during the Revolutionary War.

In 1785 he became a strong, vocal advocate for the abolition of slavery. He was appointed Commissioner of The Continental Loan Office a year later. He served there until appointed by POTUS Washington to be Customs Collector in Newport in 1791. He passed away in 1820 at the age of 92.

Though lower in profile than many of the other founding fathers, Ellery made other inspiring, resolute, patriotic statements that have been quoted by historians. In addition to the previous quote, the following was written in a letter to his brother, Benjamin.

“We have lived to see a Period which a few years ago no human forecast could have imagined – to see these Colonies shake off and declare themselves independent of a State which they once gloried to call Parent …”

Later, Ellery wrote to Reverend Ezra Stiles and said, “We have been driven into a Declaration of Independency & must forget our former love of our British brethren. The Sword must determine our quarrel.”

These quotes are strong reminders to us today. Never accept less than America First and forge forward regardless of the opposition. Be bold and be strong for liberty and freedom for all.

Ellery was married to Ann Remington until her death in 1764. He later married Abigal Cary who bore them seven children that survived to adulthood. One of his children became a noted Universalist theologian and another, Henry Dana, became a noted poet and essayist. William Ellery was a devoted American Patriot.

Lyman Hall

Lyman Hall was born in Wallingford, CT in 1724. He was the son of a local minister, John Hall and mother, Mary Hall, who was the daughter of Rev. Samuel Street. He was educated by his uncle, Samuel Hall. He went on to graduate from Yale. He attempted to become a minister, which was met with trouble within the congregation. He began studying medicine and two years later became a physician. He married Abigali Burr of CT, but she died a year later. Five years later he married Mary Osborne. They had two sons together, one of whom died as at age 11.

The couple moved to Charleston, SC and Lyman opened a medical office. In 1760 he purchased land in Georgia and started a plantation operation there. He joined the radical patriots in the Sunbury, GA area, which is now a ghost town. He prevailed in being elected to the Continental Congress despite a predominance of Georgians who were loyalists at the time. He became active in the Revolutionary Armies provisioning medical supplies and food. He remained in the Congress for five years until 1780, however, he returned to GA for a period in 1777 to attend to plantation operations and to help with the personal and legal situation of his friend and fellow Declaration signer, Button Gwinnett. Gwinnett later died in a dual with his rival and fellow patriot, Lachlan McIntosh. Hall was devastated by the loss of his friend and attempted without success to have McIntosh arrested.

A short time after his return he learned the British had taken Savannah and had burned down his home and property. They charged him with treason. He and his family fled to Charleston and realized the British had control. They continued on to Connecticut and possibly later, Virginia. Finally, in 1782 they were able to return to the Savannah, Georgia area to reclaim their property and resume their lives.

A year later he was elected Governor of GA. He never left his religious roots and began efforts to charter a college level school that provided a good education, especially in religious education that would help deliver a more virtuous society with less vice. The University of Georgia was chartered in 1785 as a result. After serving one year as Governor he returned to his medical practice. Through the years he experienced financial challenges and hardships that originated from the war. In 1790 he sold his plantation and moved to a different one in Burke County, GA to retire. He passed away that same year at age 66. His wife passed away three years later. Hall County, GA bears his name.

Lyman Hall was a dignified, affable, intelligent, considerate American Patriot who took up the challenges of gaining freedom and liberty from the oppressors no matter the personal cost.

Conclusion

The better we understand our history the more we realize this great nation has been established through the blood, sweat and tears of patriots over many years. I still hear Elery’s words in my head and heart relating to the signers standing on principles and purpose unto the point of their willingness to die for the good of fellow Americans. Most could have chosen to continue in their high social standing and not risk it all. Yet, they exhibited the spirit that John F. Kennedy conveyed with his famous quote, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

The founding patriots did it to establish a free republic for We the People.

We do it to preserve and strengthen the greatest nation on earth.

God bless America.

On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up


Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”


We Shall Know . . .

Many people say that the first thing they want to do when they arrive in heaven is see all their friends and loved ones who have passed on before them. That will indeed be a blessed time as believers reunite to fellowship, worship God, and enjoy the glorious wonders of heaven. One of the blessings is that we will know our friends and family members in heaven, and we will be known.

Our ability to recognize people in the afterlife is suggested in several passages of Scripture. At the transfiguration of Christ, Moses and Elijah made an appearance, and they were recognizable (Matthew 17:3–4). Though they had departed this world centuries prior, both Moses and Elijah remained distinct persons who had not lost their identity. In Luke 16:19–31, Abraham, Lazarus, and the rich man are all recognizable after death. King Saul recognized Samuel’s description given by the witch of Endor when she summoned Samuel from the realm of the dead (1 Samuel 28:8–17). And, when David’s young son died, David declared, “I will go to him, but he will not return to me” (2 Samuel 12:23). David’s words imply that he believed he would recognize his son in heaven. In all these examples, the Bible seems to indicate that, after death, we will still be recognizable to each other.

The Bible declares that, when we arrive in heaven, we will “be like him [Jesus]; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). Just as our earthly bodies were of the first man, Adam, so will our resurrection bodies be like Christ’s glorious body (1 Corinthians 15:47; Philippians 3:21). “And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:49, 53). Jesus was recognizable after His resurrection (John 20:16, 20; 21:12; 1 Corinthians 15:4–7), so it stands to reason that we also will be recognizable in our glorified bodies.

Being able to see our loved ones is a glorious aspect of heaven. What a pleasure it will be to reunite with our loved ones and worship God with them in His presence for all eternity!


Homecoming

I’m in a place where I am free,
Where I can sing out joyfully,
Where angels sing along my way,
And music fills my soul each day.

Here the Master holds my hand,
As we walk through the Promised Land,
A place I’ve dreamed of for so long,
So lovely, like the angels song.

Oh! The glory and beauty I see,
All by God’s mercy and grace to me.
The Peace, my Joy, the Victory won;
All praises to God and to God’s Son!

To live is Christ; to die is gain!

2025·01·25 WE MUST HAVE JUSTICE

With Trump now FINALLY restored to his Rightful Office, I was wondering what to name my posts. Continuing to complain that Biden didn’t win when Biden no longer effing matter any more than roadkill seen in the rearview mirror, seemed pointless. Even if it was a monument to Wheatie.

This should have been a week of joy. And indeed much good has happened, a wonderful start!

And then we found out that DePat…Susie…had taken her leave, very much before time. In fact just before she could see Trump restored to office.

DePat and I clashed loudly from time to time but I have nothing but respect for the time and effort she put in on her posts. (This is something I know about being one of the other authors.) To be sure she didn’t do much of the kind of writing she was certainly capable of, but the time it must have taken to gather all of those memes, articles and what-not is substantial. (Seriously when did she find the time?) And she would be visibly frustrated when she couldn’t throw a big pile of them together. Me, I’ll just say “no science post” and move on.

I suppose we can’t know DePat was killed by the Covid Vax in super-hyperdrive reach-out-and-kill-someone mode, though it certainly seems very likely indeed that it found DePat worn out and pounced.

That damned jab has killed hundreds of thousands if not millions…and it’s the “gift” that keeps on giving. If they never gave another slab jab from this moment forward, it would continue killing for years.

What we can know is that this was way too damned early. And for it to happen just before the inauguration she had been waiting for would strike me as incredibly “in-your-face, fuck you” injustice if I were to believe it was done by agency. (And yes, I’ve read the flip side of that viewpoint a lot here, so no need to explain it (again) on my account.)

Perhaps DePat can serve as a symbol of those it killed, even if it were to turn out that she wasn’t one of its victims.

And we should all remember her, and Wheatie, as we push forward with the fight. This is NOT over by any means.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Because JUSTICE must be served on those who foisted that shit on us. And for all the other things they have done to this country.

You failed to pay attention to this advice.
You went out of your way to do the opposite.
You chose to rub our faces in it,
imprison those who dared complain,
and even to kill our people.
Now you shall pay just a tiny fraction of the real price, Ratfuckers.

Welcome Back, 4GodandCountry

I have no idea if you enjoyed my science posts before you went on sabbatical (I do remember you were enthusiastic about my post on the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing). If so you have plenty of catchup. Largely on physics, but a few side excursions, lately a walk through the solar system and I’ve just started on geology (if I can quit slacking and put out part II).

What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?

RINO scum. Like Murkowski and Collins.

That’s OK. We go around ’em for now.

January 6 Tapes Reminder

OK…I’m sick and tired of reminding you to no effect, Speaker Johnson, so I’ll do the more emotionally satisfying thing and call you a cowardly, lying, fraudulent sack of diarrhetic monkey shit.

Johnson, you are a cowardly, lying, fraudulent sack of diarrhetic monkey shit!

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!

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.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Kamala Harris has a new nickname since she finally went west from DC to El Paso Texas: Westward Hoe.

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines,  here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

Spot Prices

All prices are Kitco Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend). (Note: most media quotes are for the bid…the price paid by the market makers, not the ask, which is what they will sell at. I figure the ask is more relevant to people like us who wish we could afford to buy these things. In the case of gold the difference is usually about a dollar, for the PGMs the spread is much wider.)

Last Week:

Gold $2,703.00
Silver $30.41
Platinum $948.00
Palladium $975.00
Rhodium $5,000.00
FRNSI* 129.758-
Gold:Silver 88.885+

This week, markets closed at 3PM Mountain Time Friday for the weekend.

Gold $2,771.70
Silver $30.64
Platinum $957.00
Palladium $1,008.00
Rhodium $5,000.00
FRNSI* 133.081-
Gold:Silver 90.460+

Gold went up nicely. While it was climbing, silver struggled to keep its head above the water and finally went up 17 cents on Friday–which was most of its gain for the week. So it now takes over ninety ounces of silver to buy an ounce of gold, and that’s assuming of course you don’t have to give the moneychanger a cut.

Silver is on sale right now folks!

*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.


Health Friday Open Thread 1.24.2025: In Memoriam Mira Persona, Susan P. Sampson (Deplorable Patriot)

Today’s Health Friday post is one In Memoriam Mira Persona (In Memory of a Wonderful Person), Susan P. Sampson, known as Deplorable Patriot (or DePat) on this board. Susie (as she like to be called) passed away unexpectedly on Monday 20 January 2025. The woman leaning on the window, from a painting by Murillo, is very much like the real Susie in appearance.

Susie was a professionally-trained soprano, who was a professional cantor for the Catholic Church and also a vocal soloist; she had a splendid, agile, lyric-coloratura vocal range; while, at the same time, able to sing in the also range (an uncommon thing for a soprano to do.) Susie was also a professional writer and book editor. Yours Truly had the profound privilege of working with her to get the manuscript of my late husband’s Memoirs ready for publication. She had a deeply creative approach to all of her endeavors, mixed judiciously in with a “no-nonsense” perspective. The following are taken from yesterday’s heartfelt announcement post on the board by our host, Wolf Moon, with profound thanks to FG&C, who provided the information to him.

Yours Truly would like to recommend the following be taken on a daily basis:

250 mg Quercetin; 25 mg Zinc; 2,500 mg Vitamin C (may be also taken in lower amounts, supplemented with taking orange juice once or twice daily); 25 mcg Vitamin D (1,000 IU); 300 – 600 mg NAC (can go up to 1,000 mg, although one would do this in increments); 250 mg Turmeric; 1 cup green tea (regular or decaf.) Note: Some of these amounts may already be included in a daily multi-vitamin; some others may be from foods.

On a weekly basis, or as needed: Either Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine. Ivermectin may be secured through prescription ( https://covid19criticalcare.com/, which used to be FLCCC Alliance, now is Independent Medical Alliance: or, https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/, AFLDS). Below are some sources from where to purchase Ivermectin:

Liquid: Agri-mectin (search online); Pills / Tablets: https://ivermectin.com/; https://reynoldmeds.com/; https://pharmacyonair.com/; https://www.indiamart.com/; https://www.twc.health/products/emergency-preparedness-kit (The Wellness Company, by Dr. Peter McCullough, MD.)

Ivermectin dosage chart:

It is of imperative importance that people have, and maintain, the highest degree of general health, and of natural immune system health, that is possible.

May the life of Susan P. Sampson on this Earth be celebrated as one that touched literally millions of people via her blog posts at The Q Tree, her books, her X (formerly Twitter) account, and more. May her passing not be in vain. She is still with us in spirit. I am humbled to have known her. May she rest in Eternal Peace, singing for the Almighty God in His Kingdom. May her family — birth family and online family — find Comfort.

Thanks to our good Barb Meier for finding this photo of Susie, circa 2011.

The above is an image of roses that Susie posted in 2021. May she be surrounded by roses in the Heavenly Kingdom for all Eternity.

THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.
