“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
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 indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!
…and we will have fun doing it, too!
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
Call To Battle
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery 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 until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year:
placeholder
noun
something which holds the place of another, such as this default post which “holds the place” of what would be an interesting and varied weekly Monday post.
verb
to do something to Eric Holder, as in “Please placeholder under arrest.”
There has been quite a bit going on with Gab lately. I kept putting off covering it – that oversight will be corrected by this post.
Gab Speech: “Go And Build”
Andrew Torba did some quality grandstanding for free speech at a recent conference – his speech was DYNAMITE, if you have not read it or seen the video.
Unlike the Demon Democrat Communists, who define “infrastructure” as needles for junkies, Gab defines infrastructure as UTILITY HARDWARE for the benefit of civilization. Plowing money back into INFRASTRUCTURE is clearly part of Andrew Torba’s STRATEGY.
Gab is quite zippy these last couple of days, and MORE IRON is clearly why. Gab just added 200K bucks in new servers.
Gab TV is also part of that infrastructure strategy. I suspect that Torba is preparing for the moment that Rumble and GETTR get knee-capped by Woke Tech. You know it’s coming, but it has to be closer to the election.
If anything, Gab TV works “too well”, with its annoying auto-play function making its “very well-working” embeds in WordPress quite toxic. Rumble beats Gab on that count, and is why Rumble videos are preferred on this site, but MAYBE Gab will fix it. In any case, Gab TV works nicely on the Gab platform, so we can just provide links to Gab TV.
Beyond Gab TV, methinks Gab has its sights set on the FALL OF DUCKDUCKGO, and the need for a true FREE SPEECH SEARCH ENGINE.
And THAT leads to THIS.
Gab Search
Gab knows how to achieve REAL RESULTS. Start small and manageable, and GROW. Thus, Gab Search is starting its search tool on its own data. It will index itself, before it moves out.
I’m really thankful for this. Gab’s existing search engine was weak sauce for a long time, then turned off completely after the DEMON TRANNIES “faux-hacked” the site.
Now the site search is back, and it works NICELY for once.
The Pub is *STILL* OPEN! We are doing our best under the circumstances! While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we continue to ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE. Christmas Spirit We still have lights up all over the area. LOL! Hey – how about we just keep believing? And now, the rules …
…..is actually filling up with “stuff” that normal people buy and sell, and it’s looking a lot more like Ebay every day. If you get a PRO membership, you automatically get to post stuff on Gbay – and THAT leads me to my next point……
Gab Pro
There are a bunch of reasons you MIGHT want to upgrade to Gab PRO – and if you do, there is ONE reason you may want to do it NOW…..
Notice the option on the RIGHT, which is NOT the default.
Basically, the price for 5 years is being discounted from $500 to $315, and the price of a LIFETIME membership is being discounted to the normal price for 5 years.
I’ve already been on Gab for over 5 years. The chance that I’ll be on there for another 5 years is quite good. There is some chance I’ll be on for the rest of my life. When that’s over, I can’t take my money with me. Bigger still, my money is losing its value in the bank – but NOT when invested in FREE SPEECH.
Something to think about.
But still – why pay for Gab PRO? To put it very briefly, you get new stuff first, and you keep getting it “for free”. Thus, if something like “Gab Blogs” happens, PRO will see it first.
Here are the CURRENT perks of Gab Pro.
Apply for verification and receive a blue checkmark on Gab.
Compose Rich Text posts (Bold, Italic, Underline and more)
Create 15 listings per day on Gab Marketplace.
PRO users get their own Gab TV channel to host videos.
Become an admin of your own group for any interest.
Video uploading limits increased to 1 gig per video.
Remove all promoted posts in your Gab Social feeds.
Schedule posts in your Gab Social feeds.
Bookmark and save gabs to a private collection.
Set your gabs to self-destruct after a period of time.
Fight against Silicon Valley tyranny
As the group admin, this makes sense for me. If we are forced to “go to backup”, we can hit the ground running.
YMMV. But still, something to think about.
Now – here is another deal.
If you sign up for Gab Pro, you can pay in several ways. E-Check (meaning use your bank account) is probably the easiest, but you can also try out the beta test of GabPay.
So let’s talk about that!
GabPay
When I said GabPay is actually in beta test, I wasn’t kidding.
The website is actually UP, and can answer all your questions!
You can even sign up – although I must warn you…..
I tried using the beta test, and it didn’t work for me. Is the software still a bit too “alpha”? Not sure. I may need to try it again. Nonetheless, I got a good look at the interface, and it seems pretty solid and fully “beta” – NOT alpha.
So – that’s it for now. I will let you know if something big happens, or if I get more insight into GabPay and Gab Marketplace.
Until then, GAB ON!

PS – have you seen the “easy” version of Gab Chat? It’s HERE:
Its not as secure as the older end-to-end encrypted chat, but it’s useful for everyday stuff that you don’t mind potentially being hacked by demon trannies working for Dodge and FIB.
If Republicans don’t rein in DHS now, they will be unable to stop what’s coming – to your state, your city, and your county
TL;DR – If you know how to read the Mayorkas document (because it IS in fact his document), then you will understand that the purpose of the report is to purge non-RINO Republicans and MAGA Democrats from law enforcement – FIRST from DHS, and then from all branches of state, federal, and local government, as well as private contractors, which may take federal dollars or “partner” in any way with DHS.
INTRODUCTION
It is tempting to believe that “these people are stupid”, but in my opinion, that is a tragic mistake, and it is a good part of why everything is going to hell right now.
Never assume that your enemy is not also reading Sun Tzu, and perhaps excelling as a student.
The ChiComs have used “lulling” as a technique from the very beginning. I saw it up close, when I worked in a place I call “shallow state”. The CCP’s and PLA’s lieutenants took us over, with the aid of American Bolsheviks and globalists. They’re ALL very good at what they do.
Trust me – when a ChiCom “assures you” of anything positive about yourself or your side, what he or she is doing is solidifying your position for their next move. They are making sure you stay exactly where you are, so that you don’t mess up their plans to BEAT YOUR ASS.
American communists work the same way.
Alejandro Majorkas plays the bald idiot spectacularly, but he is not an idiot, and neither is Barack Obama, nor are any of the players between THEM and “Mr. Global”, whoever (s)he is.
Don’t think that “Q” is stupid for saying they’re stupid, either. It’s a complicated business.
“Think mirror corollary.”
Their Plan
Whether or not you believe there is some kind of “plan” by the “white hats” for “devolution”, I can tell you this.
Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security installed by Barack Obama and “Big Sister” Janet Napolitano, has a plan to get ahead of devolution, and YOU are paying for it.
Gateway Pundit has the story – but they don’t have all of it. They did NOT read the fine print.
This is not just bluster.
This is not just for the bureaucrats at DHS.
This is not just for “we the little people” going to Trump rallies.
This is how they are going to PURGE state and local government and law enforcement of MAGA Republicans, moderate Democrats, and anybody else who SPEAKS THE TRUTH.
This is the “Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Mitt Romney support policy”, but it goes far beyond the federal government.
This is an attack on RED states, RED counties, RED cities, and even BLUE moderates who are not willing to toe the communist line.
So how does it work? For that, we look at the document.
We will be looking CLOSELY at two words – INSIDER and CONTRACTOR. These words lead us to what Mayorkas is really up to.
Now, before we get started, I have to tell you how such documents work under cryptocommunist bureaucracy.
When the communists took over my old employer, which I call “shallow state”, their Bolshevik and globalist puppets (who were installed to work around the compromised and paralyzed normals) had to tamp down all “upward flow” of information – and particularly the idea that this information should result in any unapproved action. All action had to be approved TOP-DOWN, and in general, it needed to actually ORIGINATE top-down.
Once that was accomplished, the commies and their go-alongers restored what LOOKED like upward flow, but was actually a kind of FAKE upward flow.
Off the books, and off the record, lower-level commie-compliant managers were TOLD FROM ABOVE exactly what they were to request, suggest or propose, perhaps doing so in their own words. No matter what, that request, proposal or suggestion was then “approved”.
Anything that did not arise in such a fashion was “studied” but not approved. On rare occasions, when it suited management’s purposes, some such proposals WERE approved after long study, but only as SHAMS and COVER processes, designed to deceive and hide. Credit for the stolen, killed, and skin-suited project would then be given to an apparatchik in need of a new cap feather. Nothing good would result from these projects.
This is EXACTLY what we have here. Mayorkas was GIVEN exactly what he wanted and needed, albeit with some cover language by the working group to suggest independence. One way you can see that smoke signal is in the larger message (I’m paraphrasing) that:
“We found almost no problem at all, BUT HERE ARE 15 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT SOUND LIKE WE DID FIND A BIG PROBLEM.”
We KNOW that the millions of horrified and pissed-off LAW-ABIDING patriots are not “domestic violent extremists”. We know that people like us are not dangerous. We know that protected leftist violent groups like ANTIFA and BLM are the actual “domestic violent extremists”, and that this is an Orwellian reversal.
But THAT is all cover.
That is a DISTRACTION.
What is REALLY going on here is something underneath the “outrage” of calling Americans like us “domestic violent extremists”, or even just “potential domestic violent extremists”.
This image is social programming from some Hollywood toxin called “The Purge”. This “purge” is actually antithetical to the quiet, silent, stealthy, Stalinist, DHS-planned “purge” I am talking about, but in an Orwellian and Hegelian way, it is used to create enough FEAR in the minds of average Americans, that they go along with the communist plan to purge patriotic Americans from Government.
Goebbels would be proud.
This is psychological SLANDER. And yet, at the very same time, it’s a PART of this.
JFK understood exactly what the other side is doing. This is what the Democrat communists do by saying we cannot speak the truth about the deliberately broken election system.
They give us one apparent exit – violence – and dare us to go through it.
They are making it impossible for us to object peacefully, while they stand ready to turn our own government upon us if we even hint at trying anything else.
Antifa? No problem. They’re OWNED and PROTECTED by DHS and FBI.
Americans? Problem. We’re OPPOSED and SLANDERED by DHS and FBI.
OK – I’ve stalled long enough. I did have a reason – a very good reason.
I wanted you to appreciate the enemy’s tactics here. They are NOT STUPID.
The enemy has BOTH a strategy and tactics, and they are apparent in the Mayorkas Document.
Assuming that you read the Gateway Pundit article…..
…..let’s look at the document itself….. (H/T Gateway Pundit and SCRIBD)
If you just skim through this document, you will find fascinating stuff EVERYWHERE.
Start off with a point that MUST be made. The discussion of “who is a domestic violent extremist” completely ignores leftist violence.
I mean COMPLETELY.
Let me just put that into a quote for Zoe and other low-vision readers.
Current Domestic Violent Extremism Threat Landscape
A March 2021 unclassified threat assessment prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), Department of Justice, and DHS, noted that domestic violent extremists“ who are motivated by a range of ideologies and galvanized by recent political and societal events in the United States pose an elevated threat to the Homeland in 2021.”3 The assessment pointed to newer “sociopolitical developments such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election, the emboldening impact of the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theories promoting violence” that “will almost certainly spur some [domestic violent extremists] [sic] to try to engage in violence this year.”4
Report to the Secretary of Homeland Security Domestic Violent Extremism Internal Review Observations, Findings, And Recommendations
You can be damn sure, based on this, that the current bunch of [smart and devious] communist goofballs running DHS considers this blog to be a threat. Whatever. Keep it in mind. Act accordingly.
One of the things they do, right up front, is to put a LULL quote about protecting Constitutional rights at the end of a footnote. Yes, it’s just a footnote, and it’s just a sentence in that footnote, which isn’t even from this current study, but from a PRIOR one. Do not kid yourselves, in any case. This little qualifier means no real commitment, but it’s designed to promote self-deception by our side, and to provide some gristle for the FAKE NEWS FACT CHECKERS to say “toldjaso”.
MY EMPHASIS IN BOLD.
2 The Working Group used the definition provided in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s “Domestic Violent Extremism Poses Heightened Threat in 2021” assessment issued on March 1, 2021, which defines a domestic violent extremist as “an individual based and operating primarily in the United States without direction or inspiration from a foreign terrorist group or other foreign power and who seeks to further political or social goals wholly or in part through unlawful acts of force or violence.” It is important to note that the mere advocacy of political or social positions, political activism, use of strong rhetoric, or generalized philosophic embrace of violent tactics does not constitute extremism and is constitutionally protected.
This mealy-mouthed stuff can be used to EXCUSE Antifa and GO AFTER patriots at the very same time. Up is down, down is up, and DHS is in control for OBAMA.
The text of this footnote quote is not on its own indicative of the idea that they ARE going to go after patriots and NOT violent leftists like Antifa. However, the fact that their definition of DVE (domestic violent extremists) above is so highly politicized, trying to shift the entire message of DVE 100% away from their political allies, Antifa and BLM, and onto the victims of their phony buffalo jump narrative, tells you all that you need to know.
Now, to start seeing their plan, you need to search for the word insider in this document.
The word insider shows up 27 times in the document. Two of those are in the executive summary, right at the beginning.
I am including the ENTIRE executive summary, because it shows how there is no evidence of a NEED for what Mayorkas and the communists are doing, but “because there are gaps”, they are going to do it ANYWAY.
CLASSIC. Classic communist tactics.
EMPHASIS IN BOLD IS MINE.
These are points that lead to the motherlode.
Executive Summary
At Secretary Mayorkas’ direction, a cross-Departmental working group of senior officials conducted a comprehensive review of how to best prevent, detect, and respond to potential threats related to domestic violent extremism within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Department’s Chief Security Officer led the Domestic Violent Extremism Internal Review Working Group (Working Group), which included experts from across the Department, including from DHS oversight offices. The Working Group also consulted with several interagency partners during the course of its review.
The Working Group found very few instances of the DHS workforce having been engaged in domestic violent extremism. However, the Working Group assessed that the Department has significant gaps that have impeded its ability to comprehensively prevent, detect, and respond to potential threats related to domestic violent extremism within DHS. These gaps, which the Department is working with urgency to close, may have impacted DHS officials’ ability to adequately identify and address related threats, and include the following:
• a lack of an official definition of “domestic violent extremist,” guidance as to what constitutes violent extremist activity, and an established list of behaviors that may be indicators of domestic violent extremism;
• a lack of workforce training specific to identifying and reporting violent extremist activity;
• a lack of specialized training for those best situated to identify violent extremist activity or behaviors that may be indicators of violent extremism (e.g., background investigators, Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties inquiry officials, and DHS Insider Threat Program personnel);
• a lack of a centralized, interoperable DHS-wide investigative case management system, as well as standardized reporting and information sharing mechanisms for investigating allegations of violent extremist activity; and,
• insufficient funding needed to support the expansion of the DHS Insider Threat Program, development and implementation of related training programs, establishment of a DHS-wide related reporting mechanism, and implementation of the government-wide federal personnel security reform effort called Trusted Workforce 2.0.
To address these gaps, the Working Group made 15 recommendations described further below to enhance the Department’s ability to comprehensively address internal domestic violent extremism-related activity to protect our employees and DHS’s ability to continue executing its critical mission.
Wolf again.
The idea of INSIDERS is critical. Never mind that the CLASSIC insiders are “left wing extremists” like Obama, Jarrett, and – boom – Alejandro Mayorkas. Yes – the entire government has been turned on its head.
The actual “insiders” are now calling the shots – and calling the patriots “insiders”.
If it wasn’t SICK, it would be hilarious.
Like I said, I lived through this shit. And my mom did, too.
DHS obviously is a target for any group wishing to take over or influence the United States. Trust me – the place is chock full of trouble, not only top-level Kim Philby insiders like Mayorkas, but also including ChiComs, very likely in the form of red diaper two-steppers who have not yet “decloaked” as commies.
Searching further on insider, we are led to multiple interesting sections.
Most of these have to do with “solutions” to the threat of DVE as insiders, despite the fact that there don’t seem to be any.
If you just look through the headlines of the 15 recommendations of the “working group” that gave Mayorkas what he wanted, you will see that they provide a ROADMAP for purging DHS of those who may be threats – like people who question sketchy elections or murderous vaccinations.
Recommendation 1: Adopt a consistent definition of “domestic violent extremist” and descriptions of violent extremist activity and integrate both into DHS policies and guidance.
Recommendation 2: Adopt and implement a DHS-approved list of behaviors that may be indicators of domestic violent extremism.
Recommendation 3: Develop and implement an official DHS Directive that provides guidance on how to identify and respond to violent extremist activity within the Department.
Recommendation 4: Incorporate the list of violent extremist activity into DHS policy.
Recommendation 5: Educate the DHS workforce on the threat that domestic violent extremists within the Department could pose to the DHS mission.
Recommendation 6: Inform employees of their obligations to refrain from violent extremist activity and the existing reporting requirements.
Recommendation 7: Provide training on how to identify and adjudicate violent extremist activity to employees charged with personnel screening and vetting activity.
Recommendation 8: Enhance hiring practices through initiatives under Trusted Workforce 2.0 in order to deter and detect individuals engaged in violent extremist activity from applying to work for the Department.
Recommendation 9: Establish the intra-departmental sharing capability for investigations and inquiries involving DHS contractors and other non-employee insiders.
Recommendation 10: Promote early intervention to get support to employees who may be at risk of radicalizing to violence.
Recommendation 11: Establish efficient and accessible reporting and intake mechanisms to facilitate information sharing among stakeholders charged with addressing allegations of violent extremist activity.
Recommendation 12: Accelerate the expansion of DHS Insider Threat Program capabilities.
Recommendation 13: Incorporate the DHS list of behaviors that may be indicators of violent extremism into insider threat tools, including user activity monitoring.
Recommendation 14: Explore expanding the use of publicly available information, including social media, beyond personnel security vetting, to identify or investigate potential violent extremist activity within the DHS workforce.
Recommendation 15: Establish an ongoing DHS Domestic Violent Extremist Working Group.
Let’s look at those in reverse order.
The last one (Number 15) creates a permanent “Mayorkas control group” that can begin doing things much more under the radar. Again, as I said, they will not originate any ideas that are not fed to them from above. But once this group is created, there will be MUCH less sunlight.
Number 14 is notable in that it shows how they will use social media to purge patriots based on social media posting, and prevent new ones from taking their places.
Number 13 shows how they will monitor employees on the inside. This was done in “shallow state” too, but the original purpose was actual national security, later turned to politics, once the commies took over.
Number 12 means they are going to do this stuff quickly, before the 2022 and 2024 elections.
Number 11 is more Obama “information-sharing” crap, whereby DHS will blackball patriots and honest Americans quickly throughout the entire government. That INCLUDES Woke Military, now turned to shit.
Number 10 is code for “risk mitigation” by social isolation of identified patriots, and suppression of any networking by patriots and honest Americans inside DHS.
Number 9 is HUGE. We will come back to that one.
Number 8 is about preventing patriots from joining DHS. They are going to socially change DHS to be WOKE, and that means NEVER hiring anybody like Christina Bobb ever again.
They are going to do their best to keep people like Ms. Bobb OUT of DHS.
Number 7 is pure “top-down” re-education of DHS personnel, in terms of how to deal with patriots.
Number 6 is how they begin the behavior modification of people at DHS. This is just like what they did in Shallow State, and it works like crazy. People will politically change, when the job forces them to do so. They don’t THINK they will change, but they will.
Number 5 is how they set up the more intrusive behavior modification, by starting with “education on the threat”. This indirect accusation of patriotic American staff within DHS is also designed to have a huge “chilling effect” within the organization. It will create internal division and isolation of the “problem” people. This works on the same Bolshevik principles that were used to create Christian-Jewish division in the United States in the 1970s – but THAT is another story for a different post.
Number 4 is how they give the policy teeth BEFORE it’s actually tested and rolled out. This is totally unscientific if what you’re trying to do is create an effective organization. However, if you are taking over an organization, in an occupied country, it’s exactly what you want to do.
Number 3 is the big cheese – the big policy of “what to do” about the people to be purged or suppressed.
Number 2 is a big part of the real payload – the “how to determine who is bad” part. This is the PRACTICAL part of the “identification of the enemy”. This is how they DEFINE who is “bad” in practice, like the Nazi genealogical rules on who was a Jew and who was merely racially impure. This is the Nazi stuff. This is what my mother warned me about. This is straight out of the Third Reich.
Number 1 leads us back to where I started, with this image:
This is the THEORY of who is bad. This is the GUIDANCE of who needs to be purged. This is the “top-down” message on who should not be in DHS. It will by highly political, and BY DESIGN won’t touch the PROG-NAZIS that they want in DHS.
Now – I skipped over Number 9 because that one is going to be hugely important for what DHS is actually setting up. Numbers 1-8 and 10-15 are more about getting political control of DHS.
Number 9 is about spreading the purge.
Recommendation 9: Establish the intra-departmental sharing capability for investigations and inquiries involving DHS contractors and other non-employee insiders.
Understand this. “DHS contractors and non-employee insiders” is YOU, all patriots and honest Americans in law enforcement and contracting entities outside of DHS.
This is how it spreads.
One needs to look closely at the relevant section. If you search on the word contractors, it appears almost exclusively in the section for Recommendation Number 9.
Which I repeat below:
Establishing a centralized, interoperable DHS-wide investigative case management system and information sharing procedures for these types of investigations and inquiries will help mitigate against the risk that a contractor under investigation for potential misconduct leaves the applicable contract prior to the completion of the investigation.
Given that DHS has about 170,000 contractors, special consideration must be given to vetting this sizeable population, which has direct authorized access to DHS assets (e.g., facilities,equipment, information, and systems).
DHS has remedies available to address domestic violent extremism threats involving DHS contractors and other non-employee insiders, including limiting or prohibiting access to DHS owned, leased, and operated facilities and/or removing an individual from a contract, as well as referring information to an appropriate criminal investigative agency for further action.
Action 9.1: Establish a working group composed of relevant subject matter experts from across the Department to identify and implement procedures and system capabilities needed to permit information sharing of investigations and inquiries.
This is designed to spread the infection.
Do not think – with federal money going along with DHS contracts – that this infection of Federal Law Enforcement and National Security by flat-out communist political purges is going to be contained inside DHS by simply ignoring it.
Also remember this – with Mayorkas’ “working group” modifying DHS policy in perpetuity, it could get EVEN WORSE in the future.
In my opinion, Republicans in Washington won’t do ANYTHING about this.
And even if they TRY, Mitch McConnell, on behalf of China, will stop it.
Ain’t that right, Mitch?
Notice how stealthy and smart this attack was. DHS and other federal law enforcement and national security assets made themselves “integral” to all sorts of state, regional, county and local agencies and offices. They are now a “normal” part of local and regional American law enforcement. It is far easier to give in to DHS demands, than to tear up contracts over a few people who DHS asks to be blackballed and driven out of a “partner”.
170,000 contractors is a LOT of people.
Now, as DHS begins purges at home, it is going to “investigate” and “purge” patriots and honest Americans from everybody it works with.
It doesn’t matter whether any kind of “devolution” is planned, or just happening.
The idea of “devolution” to reduce federal dependency is a THREAT to these people.
If you thought the communists in Washington were not going to FIGHT BACK, when states like Florida decided to resist, you were WRONG.
DHS is GRANTING ITSELF the power to “vet” not only private contractors but also state and local law enforcement officers in contract with DHS, for the Washington communist definition of “extremism”.
To KEEP THOSE CONTRACTS, individuals will be thrown under the bus, and they will GO UNDER THE WHEELS OF DODGY JUSTICE.
THAT is the state of things.
In my opinion, if we ignore this, we will be beyond the salvation of “peaceful revolution”.
This is designed to give DHS the power to make all law enforcement OBEY WASHINGTON.
And you ain’t gonna like that world – trust me.
So what do we have to do?
We will have to fight back against this at every level. ALL Republicans who don’t want to live under Democrat neo-Bolshevism for the rest of their lives must resist.
If we don’t, the entirety of law enforcement and the military will – eventually – be turned against everyday Americans.
Those who would be our friends will not speak up.
We will be living in something very much like China, but also like Nazi Germany.
“Progzi America.”
I know this for a fact. I don’t want to live there.
Hopefully there are people who see how to attack the DHS strategy.
And if they do, hopefully they will not telegraph OUR strategy in return.
Get your rest, Trumpy Bear! You’re going back to the White House!!!
We can’t let SNIFFY BEAR destroy it any more than we already have!!!
The Business At Hand
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 indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we are COOL WITH IT.
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.

A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
Prayers for your enemies, and your enemy’s enemies, and your enemy’s enemy’s enemies, are all permissible.
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
For your listening enjoyment, and general encouragement, we continue Wheatie’s tradition of fine music videos, shipped fresh from the seas of information by our intrepid authors.
While looking at videos in an earlier week, I accidentally discovered this oddball American sister duo on the Latin “pop country whatever” music charts.
…..and later realized that such a sister act is not a totally unique thing…..
…..although it certainly looks like BOY DUOS are more common…..
Q’s post addressed to Nate Cain (qanon.pub post 2578) had a line which really struck a nerve: YOU ARE NEVER ALONE. Here is the post.

Call To Battle

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
…..and then…..
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
If you want to download the Pfizer documents – the ones that they wanted to hide for 75 years or whatever – it’s easy. But first, a couple of videos to set things up a bit.
Now it’s really a one-page site – they get right down to business on the landing page…..
You can search through the site to select documents first, OR you can just download to your heart’s content. Here is the bottom of the page, with nothing selected, so the download button is grayed out.
Now, if you want to download ALL of the documents just go to that drop-down button in the lower left corner…..
…..and change the setting from “Show [ 25 ] per page” to “All”. Then, you will get a single page, and you can put a checkmark on ALL 150 documents (which is tedious as hell, but it works).
When you download all of these documents, they will come in a ZIP file. You can then extract all of the documents out of the zip file, and then view each of them with the proper application.
Enjoy!
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
endeavor
noun
A conscientious or concerted effort toward an end; an earnest attempt.
Purposeful or industrious activity; enterprise.
verb
To exert oneself to do or effect something; make an effort; strive.
To attempt; try.
Used in a quote:
We thought about it for a long time, “Endeavor to persevere.” And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.
While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we continue to ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.
Christmas Spirit
I just ran into this as the totally WRONG result on a search, but it was just what I needed for the Christmas spirit portion of our presentation!
And now, the rules of the pub.
HOUSE RULES
God bless us, every one! Tiny Tim had such a beautiful soul. He hadn’t a mean bone in his body…unlike most of us. But in keeping with Christmas, we promise to honor Wolf’s rules and keep Scrooge at bay. The Utree is where the Ghost of Christmas Present will conduct you should you need to rattle some chains. Another option, should all hell break loose is here.
Hang in there, Trumpy Bear! You’re going back to the White House!!!
No more of this Sleepy Creepy guy, provoking needless wars to fill Democrat coffers!
The Business At Hand
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 indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get THROUGH IT, OVER IT, and BEYOND IT.
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
In an image…….
Try to make it real.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.

A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our enemies, many of whom were grievously harmed by their foolish choice to virtue signal with the experimental gene therapy vaccines, which were snuck upon all of us by the monstrous WEF, Pfizer and Moderna, despite our warnings, and because this corrupt administration, media, and social media suppressed the truth.

First, some “epic” mandolin…..
Well, let’s get that mandoleen a little more TOE-TAPPIN’ and a FOOT STOMPIN’!
And finally, a song from a movie you probably never saw – Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.
OK – we can’t leave you with that downer. Check THIS happy song out!
Feel ready? GOOD!
Call To Battle
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
For the first time – no image here.
OK, just ONE of many:
I refer you to a series of ABSOLUTELY AWESOME memes posted by Robert Malone, here:
“Hospitals receive payments for testing every patient for COVID, every COVID diagnosis and every ‘COVID death,’ as well as any time they use remdesivir and mechanical ventilation.”
Not only is that a great article, that is highly referenced.. It very accurately goes through history and malfeasance by our government and the hospitals. This article is a must read. It also has an extensive list of references at the end.
You may hit a paywall, but you can take Malone’s word for it, if you do.
H/T whoever it was who found this gem! (I forgot)
How “Let’s Go Brandon” Demonstrates the Failure of The Regime’s “Decisive Victory” Strategy Against Us
This may seem like it’s the usual, hand-waving, “defeat is victory” battered-conservative abuse-porn, coated with addictive hopium, but IMO it’s actually some “real” hopanite ore, suitable for creating hopium-based nukes, and depleted hopium bullets.
Basically, a comparison of the “establishment victory over Trump” to Pearl Harbor.
They have not won.
Rather, they have earned themselves an ASS-WHOOPIN’.
Robert Malone Performs/Explains A Real Live Peer Review
This is actually REALLY GREAT, and a UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY. You will almost NEVER see this, unless you get an advanced science degree, and in that case, you will likely be taught all the bad habits of somebody not nearly as good and experienced in “grantsmanship”, patenting, and publication, as is Robert W. Malone.
Malone even does it in plain, common, sensible language that anybody can understand. You will literally see how to “talk back” to HIGHLY credentialed scientists making mistakes, showing bias, sticking to narratives, and just being people who you should NOT trust.
This is RESTORATIVE to real science. I just cannot praise this enough.
Peer review example: “Effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine among children”
Having written hundreds of requested peer reviews, I am offering my unsolicited one.
What makes this even more powerful, is a slightly earlier post by Malone, in which he exhorts ALL people to USE COMMON SENSE in doubting the media on things in which they don’t have expertise, because the FAKE NEWS is demonstrably WRONG on the things in which you DO have expertise, and you REMEMBER those cases, and therefore you are absolutely entitled to extend that skepticism to ALL THINGS THE PRESS SAYS.
Please note that there are many variations on how English speakers actually pronounce most of the word, but the lifted pinky / beltway bandit / light-in-the-loafers silent T is “supposed to be” preserved in English, and the result sounds very French.
Therefore, if you want to stay grounded and keep your “man of the people” cover, you can intentionally mispronounce the word JUST A LITTLE by including that final ‘t’ ever so slightly (“MAUWNt”).
Alternatively, over-emphasize the open mouth ‘MAUW[n]’ at the end to almost comedic levels, and you sound like a real American who took French in high school. But it’s still probably best to avoid ‘reproach-ment’, unless you really want to make sure people think you don’t know a lick of French.
Used in a sentence:
The convergence was noted by statesmen and scholars of the time, but the term “Great Rapprochement” to refer to a distinct historical phenomenon may have been coined by the American historian of Anglo-American relations Bradford Perkins in his 1968 study of the period, The Great Rapprochement: England and the United States 1895–1914.
Slightly misused (and optionally mispronounced) in a Lindsey Graham joke:
I think it is now quite clear that Bill and Melinda Gates need to get the hell out of science and medicine for the good of humanity.
I am going to show you why.
I am not saying that Bill Gates is doing anything new. I am saying that he moved his disastrous “Windows Effect” from information technology – which Gates corrupted and hindered with his inferior product and short-sighted greed – to human health – where Gates is doing the exact same thing, only with more obvious damage to society and individuals.
I’m going to start at the END – with the most recent bit of evidence, which finally compelled me to write this article.
Hat tip apudlo on Gab for reposting this link, leading me to this study.
This isn’t just a 70% reduction in mortality of COVID-19 relative to no treatment. This is 70% reduction relative to treatment with Anthony Fauci’s “gold standard of care”, remdesivir.
Actually – let’s take a bit of a sidebar and then a hypostrophe (return from a parenthetical discussion) on the subject of remdesivir.
There will be justice for Veronica Wolski, because we will DEMAND IT. And until there IS justice, we will drag the CRIMES of Anthony Fauci and Gilead “Pharmaceuticals” and their SLEAZY ASSOCIATES thorough the headlines, over and over, until people SPIT IN THEIR PATH as they walk down the streets. So where do we begin? …
Well, they can lock us out of The Q Tree, but they can’t stop the truth from getting out. Enjoy a post first over on The U Tree and now HERE. Here is a quickie in my WAR ON REMDESIVIR. Fellow Treeper barkerjim dropped an interesting document today, from back in July, which showed the …
Hat tip DP…. wait for the remdesivir part…..

This is actually quite analogous to what the “medical establishment” did with mercury back in the day, when calomel and other mercury medicines killed and injured MILLIONS of Americans in the 19th century.
The Pub is OPEN! We are NOT serving mercurials or arsenicals today – or EVER – but we ARE serving MODERN SUBSTITUTES like penicillin – to the non-allergic, of course. While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we continue to ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE. Christmas Spirit And now, the rules of …
But let’s return to BILL GATES.
Fauci and remdesivir are another story. Bill Gates is all about the vaccines. If Gates is kicking remdesivir under the table, I would not be surprised, but I tend to doubt it, because Gates seems to respect OTHER corrupt players, to some extent.
The point is, this brand new study CONFIRMS what we know from many other studies – that ivermectin really does reduce death from COVID-19 – and that it does so substantially.
Not only THAT, but the “70% reduction” figure has appeared MULTIPLE TIMES before, and is not only confirming in its magnitude, but is also extremely indicting of Bill Gates, as we shall see in a moment.
One “70%” case is cited in the link – a recent Malaysian study – where is appears that the authors deliberately misinterpreted their data, effectively HIDING a 70% reduction in mortality by ivermectin, by claiming the “p” value of the results meant they were insignificant, being only 91% instead of 95% or 99% (basically, the study was too small).
This “capture and kill by underpowering the study” is a NIFTY TRICK, which was also discussed by Steve Kirsch, and which I have covered previously.
The big picture, however, is that (1) authors have a variety of means of making a paper produce conclusions that are completely at odds with the data, and (2) they are using such techniques to satisfy their sponsors when the “science” doesn’t give the results hoped for by the sponsors.
Don’t believe me?
It turns out there is ANOTHER 70% reduction ivermectin paper we need to talk about.
And in that case, there is strong evidence that BILL GATES is behind the effective SCIENTIFIC BURYING of the result.
Hat tip to eilert and Sundance for this one.
This is the biggie. This is where Bill Gates showed his true self to the planet.
TIME and PERSISTENCE have narrowed down WHERE and WHEN it was, that ivermectin was blocked from becoming a universal treatment for COVID-19.
This work is mostly due to Tess Lawrie, who was one of the speakers (from England, via internet video) at the Defeat the Mandates rally in Washington, DC.
The article frames a video by Tess Lawrie, which, as Sundance rightly states, is STUNNING. Yes, it is somewhat professionally produced, but speaking as a scientist, this is one of the most insightful and direct explorations of institutional scientific misconduct which has ever been put on the table.
It is shockingly clear from this video that ivermectin was saving OVER 70% – in fact 75% – of hospitalized patients who would have otherwise died. They are talking about tens of thousands of patients DAILY. Using an EXTREMELY safe drug.
This video lays it all out – who was responsible for the corruption of the conclusions of the preprint which blocked ivermectin – a FRONT ORGANIZATION for Bill & Melinda Gates called Unitaid. We don’t know the names of the individuals in Unitaid yet, but it’s very clear that TENS OF THOUSANDS immediately, and ultimately HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS – worldwide even MILLIONS of people died – because of an ABUSE OF SCIENCE.
It’s very simple. Anybody can see what they did there.
“Let them die – we want the money.”
But now, let me tell you something MORE.
There is also evidence that Bill Gates has done EVEN MORE to block “old” drugs for COVID-19.
Begin with “LancetGate” and the “LancetGate Effect“. LancetGate was the first instance, where a FALSE anti-hydroxychloroquine paper – later RETRACTED – literally caused DEATHS that could be seen on a graph, due to panicked withdrawal of HCQ from patients in Switzerland, by a RASH bureaucratic ban on treatment with it.
This is explained in an article I did, covering a SECOND case of the LancetGate effect, where a ban on ivermectin was lifted, resulting in suppression of a wave of the delta variant in Indonesia.
The murderous LancetGate Effect is back, and this time it killed thousands before bureaucrats relented and allowed doctors to save patients. [ Hat Tip to barkerjim for alerting me to this Indonesian case. ] Part 1 – LancetGate Effect 1.0 and 1.1 Ah, the memories of LancetGate! That moment when “they” “finally” “proved” that hydroxychloroquine …
I have always suspected that Bill Gates was somehow behind the retracted LancetGate paper, but I’ve never been able to prove it. Part of that suspicion dated back to the very beginning of the COVID pandemic. When Bill Gates, “Mr. Vaxx and Vaxx Alone”, decided that treatments needed study, I knew that THE FIX WAS IN.
Yeah. This fucker can PAY FOR MY RESPIRATOR. Just read this. The guy who funded the UNETHICAL virus research that gave me the fucking shortness of breath….. The guy who promoted a curiously fortuitous corona virus “exer-psy-op” while his CHINESE FRIENDS let loose the ChiCom-19 virus….. The guy who worked with DEMOCRATS to try to …
And then, when LancetGate hit, I suspected Gates.
However, it was only LATER that I stumbled upon ANOTHER instance of Gates’ apparent meddling in the scientific examination of hydroxychloroquine. Discussed HERE:
The Pub is OPEN again! With a blend of humor and seriousness, like any good bar, we celebrate this grand re-opening of WOLF’S PUB on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2021, by actually opening near closing time on Christmas Eve Eve, but what the heck. IT’S ALMOST CHRISTMAS. While our beloved bartender takes a needed break …
This one was actually a bit of a gold mine. Not only did I find that Facebook, Twitter, Gates and Pfizer were all tied behind a study which trashed hydroxychloroquine – there was ANOTHER study in the mix, funded by this gang, which pooh-poohed ivermectin.
These papers did NOT get big play in public – rather, they were used to quietly influence doctors behind the scenes. Gates is CUNNING, and he clearly does NOT want the “crowd” interfering in his delicate, moneyed, subversive operations.
He LEARNED after LancetGate, IMO, to be a bit more stealthy.
I have NOT looked at these two papers since the discovery of the funding. I do believe that when it first came out, I may have read the HCQ paper, if it’s the one I think it is, which was done in Brazil. I remember that at the time, I thought it was problematic for some reason, but I don’t really want to look at it again, because I think it would be better if OTHER scientists looked at these two studies and figured out what’s wrong with them.
Because I will BET MONEY there is something wrong with them. But I would rather just be the one to point out the funding issues, and let others find the science problems independently.
Now – there is one other potential scandal here, which almost nobody is talking about except me, and that has to do with the “suppression” of the fact that simple, normal, drug-store antihistamines have a rather profound effect in preventing death by COVID-19.
You didn’t know that, did you?
The Spanish nursing home study. Never heard of it, unless you follow a few sites like this one, or Jo Nova, or Karl Denninger.
This signal showed up in the literature several times, and NOBODY followed up on it. But in terms of saving lives, simple, over-the-counter antihistamines have been IMPRESSIVE.
Everybody underestimates Spain. The last letter in “PIGS” is far less of an insult than an error. Years ago, when I was at a conference, and Japanese industrial spies were getting me drunk (it was a great red wine), I decided that I had to give them SOMETHING for their time and effort, if only …
Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President: AND our wonderful REALFLOTUS. Hopefully, this great couple is getting some REST, because they may NEED IT. I am telling y’all – the Trumps may very well be on their way back to the White House in 1-3 years. In fact, the way Obammunism has been …
You see, it’s actually rather ironic, but while we were all distracted by the drama of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, nicely seeded by the other side, nobody paid any attention to the massive live-saving signal from drugstore antihistamines.
Something out in the public, that nobody could have stopped us from using. Something that – from THEIR point of view – could not have been allowed to become a public controversy, if they wanted the vaccines approved.
This is why – even though I am totally in favor of HCQ and ivermectin – I think it’s important to look deeper, and see how ALL OF US were fooled. The Spanish nursing home study was DONE treating patients in June of 2020. The results were in. The doctors finished their paper in September, but had already gone to the media 3 weeks into June.
There is no reason we could not have been saving people worldwide with their protocol, other than the likelihood that somebody didn’t want that knowledge to get out. And one of the ways to do that, is to set up a Hegelian conflict where the media sides AGAINST treatments in favor of the vaccines as “the only way”.
EVERYTHING after that is just a story of the FAILURE of human science, with all its “big data” and all its “artificial intelligence”, to FIND THAT SIGNAL, AMPLIFY IT, and START SAVING LIVES.
But that’s not what happened. Using a Hegelian process, we were made to fight over TWO DRUGS that THEY COULD CONTROL – and our minds were steered away from even safer and possibly even more effective common drugs that THEY COULD NOT CONTROL.
Even famotidine (a digestive tract H2 antihistaminic) is a distraction from the obvious truth that respiratory-tract-affecting H1 antihistaminics were found by both the Spanish authors and Dr. Chetty in South Africa to completely eliminate mortality from the inflammatory stage of COVID-19, if administered as soon as hypoxia ensues, or better still, at the first symptoms of the disease.
Well, here’s what I think.
I don’t think this signal was “lost”. I think this signal was covered up when possible, and distracted from when it could not be covered up.
And if you don’t think Bill Gates was somehow involved in that, you have a lot of catching up to do.
EVENT 201 SPONSORS:
Event 201 was designed to give people PRECONCEPTIONS.
Event 201 was designed to make sure people believed certain things – many of which science was about to find were simply UNTRUE. It was also designed to make sure people did NOT believe other things – or think them possible. And, I believe, Event 201 is also why much of the World Health Organization’s early advice was just plain BAD.
THEY were misled TOO.
At this point, I’m not sure how much Bill Gates is responsible for, but I do know this.
I am prepared to question every single word that comes out of his mouth.
He is NOT HERE TO HELP. I am not sure what in the hell he is up to, but he’s not here to help.
We are NOT serving mercurials or arsenicals today – or EVER – but we ARE serving MODERN SUBSTITUTES like penicillin – to the non-allergic, of course.
While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we continue to ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.

Current Art On The Wall
We have a really RETRO shipment this week. All designed to go along with our FEATURE PRESENTATION.
These are presented in the order that they came out of the box.
PATENT MEDICINE PILL, 1890.
Advertisement for Beecham’s Pills from an American newspaper of 1890.
Interestingly, Beecham’s Pills were actually USEFUL. They contained aloe, ginger, and SOAP, the latter meaning that they were much like stool softeners – a gentle laxative.
Not so sure about snake oil…..
The following is a subtle ad for CHILD DEWORMERS.
With this picture, we begin some ads for Dr. D. Jayne and his products. His company lasted for around a century. He was an actual trained doctor, and tended to use pharmaceuticals with real physical effects, like digitalis, opiates, etc., rather than quack ingredients.
American children tended to have roundworms and pinworms – Dr. Jayne’s “vermifuge” apparently worked on both.
Jayne used a lot of artwork in his marketing – thus many of his product advertisements can still be found.
The following is very subtle propaganda.
Jayne’s was still around as WWII loomed. Many of our childhoods were not long after this. Bear this in mind later in this post.
More “Jayne’s art”.
The expectorant apparently contained ipecac, opium and digitalis.
Nothing like a good salve!
Stabler’s apothecary was run by multiple generations of a family of pharmacists. The founder, Edward, was an interesting herbalist, trained in Pennsylvania. He was an abolitionist in Virginia who would purchase slaves to set them free. http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/news/2006/feb/01/herbal-remedy/
I hope you have some idea now about medicine in the 19th century.
Do you think we’ve advanced much?
Let’s move “forward” now, to “state of the art” 19th century prescription medicine.
Seatbelts.
Mercury and Arsenic as the mRNA and Remdesivir of Pre-Fauci America
In the process of reading about how COVID vaccines are now setting off syphilis tests (a topic which we covered last Friday), I chanced upon a boatload of information about early treatments of syphilis, and what I read simply blew me away.
The scandals of syphilis are WAY, WAY more than the “shame of the disease itself”, and WAY, WAY more than the Tuskegee syphilis experiment.
These scandals are SMALL POTATOES compared to the scandal of TREATMENT OF SYPHILIS WITH MERCURY.
This is history you will NOT learn under globalists and progressives.
A scandal which was SO BAD – just like “treatment” with these demonic mRNA vaccines – that medicine started QUIETLY – without admitting fault – looking for an exit strategy. And part of that was motivated by this fact:
BLACKS and other groups who were not getting “treated” with mercury, were not suffering many of the WORST end-stage “symptoms of syphilis”.
You see what I mean? It was JUST LIKE THE CLOT SHOT. Just like remdesivir. BLAMECASTING the errors of the BAD but moneymaker treatments onto the disease.
This is NOT NEW STUFF.
In fact, it is MOST IRONIC that the Tuskegee experiment STARTED OFF by literally SAVING the participants from treatment with mercury – only to then DENY THEM penicillin when that became available, so that they could continue the experiment.
Because the experiment was not merely about “not treating people”.
It was REALLY about NOT TREATING PEOPLE WITH MERCURY.
And THIS explains why there was so much determination to get these participants to the end-stage WITHOUT TREATMENT. Because it was end-stage effects that they were so interested in observing.
What I discovered was that the history of medicine in America is FILLED with stuff every bit as bad as the DEMON Anthony Fauci, the disaster of AIDS and AZT, toxic drugs like remdesivir, and medical killers like the untested mRNA vaccines. Much of it is exposed by the history of syphilis, so that is where we will begin.
The Wikipedia article on syphilis doesn’t say much about the actual treatment of syphilis with mercury, despite it having a fairly extensive section on treatment. A much better coverage is found in the article on the History of syphilis.
However, even THAT does not really give you a sense of the magnitude of what might gently be called “the problem of mercury as a medicine”.
Let me put it this way. When it turned out that MALARIA and ARSENIC were both superior and more importantly SAFER treatments of syphilis relative to the “consensus treatment” of MERCURY, you know that mercury was BAD SHIT as a medicine.
Obviously, if they tried MALARIA and ARSENIC, people KNEW that mercury was a bad drug.
In fact, I was shocked to find that the current confrontation between “natural therapies” and “pharmaceuticals” is a VERY old conflict that never went away. While there has been SOME reduction in the mortality difference between “do no harm, save a few” natural remedies and “kill a bunch of people, save a few” pharmaceuticals, we are still talking about millions of Americans killed by pharmaceuticals intended – or maybe just “purported” – to save them.
Anyway, here is the big picture.
The “clot shot” and the people who maliciously pushed it are entirely believable in the long, dark shadow of “killer calomel”.
SO – let’s get started with Hg2Cl2.
My parents actually had a bottle of calomel (not calamine – the neighbor kids had that) in the medicine cabinet when I was a kid. It was somewhat more modern than the above, with a metal screw-cap. Indeed, my parents had a lot of very old-school medical stuff from the 40s and 50s.
As children, we treated all our wounds with the mercury compound thiomersal, a.k.a. merthiolate. You know – the bad stuff in vaccines. This is the “new” bottle which I loved – we had older glass bottles with a glass dipping rod, before these handy squeeze bottles.
Calomel has a LONG history as a therapeutic. Although it got its start back in alchemy, by the time it got to America, it was a common medicine.
From Wikipedia:
By the 19th century, calomel was viewed as a panacea, or miracle drug, and was used against almost every disease, including syphilis, bronchitis, cholera, ingrown toenails, teething, gout, tuberculosis, influenza, and cancer. During the 18th and early 19th centuries pharmacists used it sparingly; but by the late 1840s, it was being prescribed in heroic doses[7]—due in part to the research of Benjamin Rush, who coined the term “heroic dose” to mean about 20 grains taken four times daily.[8] This stance was supported by Dr. Samuel Cartwright, who believed that large doses were “gentlest” on the body.[9] As calomel rose in popularity, more research was done into how it worked.

Annesley was one of the first to write about the differering effects of calomel when taken in small or large doses.[9] Through experimentation on dogs, Annesley concluded that calomel acted more like a laxative on the whole body rather than acting specifically on the vascular system or liver as previous physicians believed.[9] In 1853, Samuel Jackson described the harmful effects of calomel on children in his publication for Transactions of Physicians of Philadelphia.[7] He noted that calomel had harmful effects causing gangrene on the skin, loss of teeth, and deterioration of the gums.[7] On May 4, 1863, William A. Hammond, the United States’ Surgeon-General, stated that calomel would no longer be used in the army as it was being abused by soldiers and physicians alike.[7] This caused much debate in the medical field, and eventually led to his removal as Surgeon-General.[10] Calomel continued to be used well into the 1890s and even into the early 20th century.[7] Eventually calomel’s popularity began to wane as more research was done, and scientists discovered that the mercury in the compound was poisoning patients.
Calomel was the main of the three components of the pill number 9 of the British army during the First World War. [11]
But if you REALLY want to understand the history of calomel as both a poison and a drug, this is the article you need to read.
This article totally gets it, as you can tell from the opening quote.
New drugs present greater hazards as well as greater potential benefits than ever before—for they are widely used, they are often very potent, and they are promoted by aggressive sales campaigns that may tend to overstate their merits and fail to indicate the risks involved in their use. . . There is no way of measuring the needless suffering, the money innocently squandered, and the protraction of illnesses resulting from the use of such ineffective drugs.
John F. Kennedy, in his Consumers’ Protection Message of March 15, 19621
Is the whole “Q” thing starting to make sense? Just as an aside. JFK clearly had some of the same enemies as Trump.
Anyway, this article shows how the use of mercury and arsenic compounds for medicines was controversial even from the START, with Paracelsus himself admonishing fellow alchemists not to use too much mercury in treatments.
The problem with calomel is that it’s insoluble MOST of the time, and in that state it can be used in excess, because it just flushes through the body. It’s a lot like barium sulfate – a totally safe version of highly toxic barium – in that respect. But if calomel oxidizes, or becomes impure, or otherwise emits other forms of mercury, it can be very harmful.
Thus, calomel got good results in some hands, but in the hands of other physicians, and in the bodies of other patients, it was a killer. It was easily abused, and even some of the “megadose” treatments were abusive from the git-go – to say nothing of giving it to children, and doing life-long damage.
But now, let’s look at what calomel and other mercury compounds did for syphilis. For THAT we go to another great article.
This article does a deep dive on use of mercury to treat syphilis, and does not hold back on the contention that much of the symptomology of syphilis that was seen before penicillin, was really due to mercury poisoning and NOT due to syphilis itself.
Sound familiar?
This article in particular contends that the end-stage dementia of tertiary syphilis in the West, which was observed much less frequently in certain populations like blacks, Indians, and Norwegians, who avoided mercury, was mostly due to the treatment with mercury, not syphilis.
In case you’re thinking that’s unlikely, just consider patient-killing remdesivir, which we’ve covered extensively.
Now, there IS an great academic look at the skeletons of syphilitic patients, some of whom were treated with mercury, trying to determine if mercury made things worse. The results are inconclusive, but in any case, the background material is excellent reading.

Abstract: Mercury was commonly used to treat syphilis in post-medieval Europe, but debate persists about whether it ameliorated infection or exacerbated it. As there are no in vitro studies on mercury’s effectiveness, Hg levels were characterized using an established technique, portable X-Ray Florescence Spectrometry (pXRF) in syphilitic skeletons (N=22) from six post-medieval London cemeteries. Levels were assessed against proxies for syphilitic infection severity (lesion type, episodic involvement, extent of involvement), oral health indicators, and age at death. The findings are equivocal, likely obfuscated by background poor oral health and high mortality, and cannot elucidate whether mercury ‘killed or cured’.
Keywords: syphilis, mercury, pXRF, post-medieval, London, trace element analysis, paleopathology.
The history of treatment with mercury in America serves as a strong precedent for what we are seeing now with “vaccines for everything”. The mendacity of some and the fecklessness of others regarding COVID treatments is not new – it all happened before with the mendacious and feckless medical establishment – and MERCURY.

The mahogany medicine chest contains boxes, bottles and tubes of medications to treat a number of conditions. The chest includes treatments to purge the body by vomiting (emetics), by sweating (diaphoretics), as well as general purgatives such as rhubarb, jalap and calomel. Other medications include pain relief, such as opium plus astringents and stimulants, including ginger and lavender. The chest contains a handwritten inventory listing the medications. The chest also includes a set of scales, weights, a pill tile and a spatula. The set was probably used in the home or by a chemist or apothecary.

And don’t forget to…….
ENJOY THE SHOW.
Thank you all for being here. Have a great weekend.
Get your rest, Trumpy Bear! You’re needed in WASHINGTON, DC!!!
Vladdy Bear and Winnie The Pooh are making Sleepy Creepy Joe look like a punching bag!
The Business At Hand
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 indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we’re ON A ROLL.
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Gonna be quick this time.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
After his speech at CPAC, I think it’s quite clear that praying for President Trump’s return to the White House is indeed praying for our enemies, who are too messed up to realize how much better off they would be under a Trump presidency.
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
For your listening enjoyment, and general encouragement, we continue Wheatie’s tradition of fine music videos, shipped fresh from the seas of information by our intrepid authors.
Microwave Monday reminds me of this song from back in the day.
ENJOY!
This right here is the stiffest dose of teased-out 80s chick hair you are EVER going to get.
And if you want to see it with 2008 hair….
And then there’s an outdoorsy 2014 version which has a really great “live” feel…..
But how about a 2021 version with just Susanna Hoffs and a string section?
But if you’re still feeling like it’s all unfamiliar, here’s the original video!
Yeah – that’s more like it!
Call To Battle (H/T Sundance)
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
…..and now for…..
Microwave Monday
After recent discussion of Havana Syndrome, and the possibility that it involves electromagnetic radiation (and in particular microwaves), I have decided that we all need to LEVEL UP our gut-level understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum – even beyond what Steve has done with his explanation of the science behind it.
This will also help us deal with both the REALITIES and DISINFORMATION of 5G telecom.
I will be doing this by giving you all a bunch of INFOGRAPHICS to get started.
Steve got us started HERE, in his 8th science lesson on LIGHT.
You may remember some of this stuff….. (CLICK TO ENLARGE)
Let’s start breaking up that electromagnetic continuum into REGIONS that have NAMES.
You can see that microwaves lie between RADIO and INFRARED.
Let’s look even more closely at those groups.
We can even start breaking those radio and microwave regions down into BANDS that you are all familiar with.
Here you can start to get a feel for the SIZE OF THE WAVES versus objects and frequencies.
The SIZE OF WAVES and WHAT THEY AFFECT actually matters – although it’s not simple.
Megahertz, gigahertz, teraherz, and petahertz are all there.
You can really see it more easily in the following infographic.
You can easily see how we have made “radio devices” push farther and farther away from the very SAFE “radio” region, through television, mobile phones, and WiFi, closer and closer to the microwave and infrared radiation that constitutes COOKING MICROWAVES and RADIANT HEAT ITSELF.
And as you can see here, many technologies emit electromagnetic radiation – and some more than you may have realized.
So where are the 5G frequencies? Please be aware that there is constant change in this stuff, so that these infographics may be slightly out of date. Do not let that deter you – minor changes don’t NIX any issues of the basic range in which 5G operates, unless specifics of the science are given.
Use COMMON SENSE.
Let’s zoom in a bit.
Note that the above is just the US – other countries use different regions.
Here is more detail on European and US 5G.
Much of this is SQUARELY in the microwave region. From Wikipedia, we’re basically talking 300 MHz to 300 GHz.
Now let’s start looking at ALLEGED but possibly REAL health effects of EMR in the microwave region, which may VARY ACROSS THE REGION.
Remember also that DOSAGE MATTERS – like anything else.
You have to squint to see the next infographic, but look at “Biological Effect”.
It depends strongly on FREQUENCY / WAVELENGTH.
This is a very good listen. This lady is also a climate dupe, but she will get you to realize that your microwave devices may actually be doing to YOUR MEAT what microwaves normally do to YOUR MEAT, albeit at LOWER BUT LONGER DOSAGES.
This is another good one!
More of her schtick. This gal will get you to question the “harmless” narrative, just like vaccines, but try to keep some common sense. Remember – driving is a killer, too. You still want the freedom to drive?
Common sense! How do we get the BEST of both worlds?
Now I’m just going to play a bunch of their infographics. Caveat emptor! But some of this stuff is interesting and counter-intuitive. SIGNAL and NOISE matter. In more ways than one.
SO – maybe you should THINK about how to handle the devices you have!!!
But then talk back to all that stuff HERE.
Be sure to be SKEPTICAL of this SKEPTIC lady – that is an essential part of ETHICAL SKEPTICISM. We don’t want to be panicky about 5G, or believing disinformation, but we do want to treat MICROWAVES as maybe not that awesome for our health, in doses that exceed our individual sensitivity.
So BEWARE of BROAD-BRUSH SKEPTICS who downplay too much in favor of technology.
After all, we just got through a BATTLE ROYALE over disastrous mRNA technology that was advanced too fast for all the wrong reasons.
Finally, a GREAT infographic. It’s MASSIVE. I’m only showing you the small version – you have to click the link for the BIG ONE that’s easy to read down to the details.
Something stinks, and to my nose, it’s the New World Odor.
But first, a disclaimer.
I’m actually ashamed that I wanted to work for Google at one point, but I need to get that out into the open right away, lest somebody, someday, use that “gotcha” against me and think it’s actually damaging.
Heck – I even bought a variety of Google swag, back when they were small and upstarty, just like when Netscape, Firefox, various Linux brands, and other rising tech companies were once “new” and “cool”.
A lot of people once thought that Google’s motto of “Don’t be evil” was a bit of a bass-ackwards under-performer, which should have been a positive, rather than a double-negative. Not me. I realized back then that this paradoxical formulation was exactly why the motto was so ahead of the curve.
“Being good” lacks skepticism – particularly of self. “Being good” as a primary motivator is a guaranteed set-up for the primary sin of PRIDE.
“Not being evil”, in contrast, is automagically skeptical of self. And skepticism isn’t just good for science – it’s good for religion.
Yes – I think it’s clear you need both. This is part of why (IMO) Christianity always refreshes itself by going back to its Jewish roots when there are foundational questions. No matter how you slice it, we need to concern ourselves with the Law, which includes consequential negatives, because we don’t want to get rid of our saving prohibitions.
We need our Peters, but we also need our Pauls.
Thus, when Google ditched “don’t be evil”, I smelled trouble.
And what is happening now, may be evidence that Google has forgotten how to “not be evil”.
Google has made mistake after mistake since they began tampering politically with their search engine, largely during the Obama years, but to an even greater degree during the Trump years. And now, in one short year of Biden – Google has arrived at the point of adopting a policy that conflicts with the most basic principles of science.
Simone Gold, of America’s Frontline Doctors, just tweeted this.
WOW: @Google sent notice stating they will be removing the America’s Frontline Doctors website from search results.
We are a team of medical doctors who dared to speak the truth.
“Nor do we allow content from any site that contradicts or runs contrary to scientific or medical consensus and evidence-based best practices.”
Well THAT’S great. How do you think science is going to advance? YOU CHUMPS!
Let’s just save that tweet, simply to make sure that it doesn’t disappear when Twitter inevitably suspends Dr. Gold.
Note these final words from Dr. Gold.
“And we have been proven right, again and again, and again.“
Dr. Simone Gold, AFLD
Dr. Gold is not lying. Throughout COVID-19, free and independent doctors and scientists have been LEADING captive science and captive medicine against their BIASED FUNDERS AND CONTROLLERS – which clearly include GOOGLE now.
The “concensus” science has repeatedly and continuously been ABNORMALLY WRONG due to BIAS, and has required continuous correction by – very sadly – OUTSIDERS.
Science does not progress by sticking to consensus. It advances by CHALLENGE TO CONSENSUS. Google is INTERFERING with that process. SHAME!!!
In my opinion, “they” are all scared.
And the reason they’re scared it this.
Now – as insurance companies look around to see who picks up the tab for people dying from the ERRORS OF THE CONSENSUS, it sure ain’t gonna be able to pin it on the people who WARNED about the experimental vaccines.
It may indeed be that some of the blame (moral, even if not monetary) will land on those who CENSORED THE SAVING WARNINGS.
Over and over, people like Google censored us because they said that the things WE SAID were not true, and yet it turned out that the things we said WERE true, and that the consensus THEY said was true, was both WRONG and responsible for MANY DEATHS.
And THIS may be the biggest CENSORED TRUTH of all.

Biol. 2022, 44(3), 1115-1126; https://doi.org/10.3390/cimb44030073 (registering DOI) Received: 18 January 2022 / Revised: 19 February 2022 / Accepted: 23 February 2022 / Published: 25 February 2022 (This article belongs to the Topic Clinical, Translational and Basic Research on Liver Diseases)
Abstract
Preclinical studies of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, showed reversible hepatic effects in animals that received the BNT162b2 injection. Furthermore, a recent study showed that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genome of human cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of BNT162b2 on the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro. Huh7 cells were exposed to BNT162b2, and quantitative PCR was performed on RNA extracted from the cells. We detected high levels of BNT162b2 in Huh7 cells and changes in gene expression of long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1), which is an endogenous reverse transcriptase. Immunohistochemistry using antibody binding to LINE-1 open reading frame-1 RNA-binding protein (ORFp1) on Huh7 cells treated with BNT162b2 indicated increased nucleus distribution of LINE-1. PCR on genomic DNA of Huh7 cells exposed to BNT162b2 amplified the DNA sequence unique to BNT162b2. Our results indicate a fast up-take of BNT162b2 into human liver cell line Huh7, leading to changes in LINE-1 expression and distribution. We also show that BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure.
I have discussed the Jaenisch paper numerous times since I became aware of it in December of 2020, and more importantly in March of 2021.
In fact, in the following blog post I made in April of 2021, I actually hypothesized a scenario which is basically the findings of the De Marinis paper!!!
Alternate Title: Is Persistent Reverse Transcription a Hidden Virus/Vaccine Objective? Gloating Pre-Preface There are few feelings of satisfaction like opening up the NEWS and knowing one’s theories and understandings are WORKING even better than one thought. Let’s see if they use this one for damage control, and get the “new science” out before the STORY …
Now – let me state, in the simplest possible way, what these papers mean.
The Jaenish paper proves that the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus alters human DNA.
The De Marinis paper proves that the Pfizer mRNA vaccine also alters human DNA.
Oh, there are quibbles that I’m “oversimplifying”, but they’re just quibbles, and I will show you WHY they are not just quibbles, but extremely disingenuous ones.
And please note that I am UNDERSTATING when I just say “alters DNA”. The Jaenish paper proves that the viral DNA changes are going into GENOMIC DNA. The De Marinis paper strongly suggests that THE SAME may be happening due to the vaccine.
But before I give you MY take on the De Marinis paper, let me give you the opinions of OTHERS.
Let’s review one first.
Peter McCullough:
Alden et al, Lund University, Sweden, confirms one of our worst fears. The exogenous genetic material coding for the dangerous Spike protein is reverse-transcribed into the human genome; possible long-term constitutive expression/synthesis of disease promoting/lethal Spike.
Translation: The pseudo-mRNA code for the spike protein in the Pfizer vaccine gets into the genomic DNA inside human cells in test tube experiments, and produces both DNA and mRNA coding for what was uniquely in the vaccine. This new cellular DNA and RNA very likely (as a consequence) produces spike protein, causing long-term disease and health issues.
One can legitimately contest the assertion that genomic DNA is being altered (we don’t know this yet – hopefully soon), but any denial of the fact that CELLULAR DNA is being changed, is simply not “fact-based”.
For example, I saw “downplay trolls” on the original McCullough tweet, quibbling about in vivo vs. in vitro – that these results don’t “prove” that the same thing happens in living humans – only in living human cells in a test tube.
The reason this is a hypocritical crock of shit, is that “due to an abundance of caution”, almost every single “carcinogen” and other “bad boy chemical” that is restricted or controlled in the United States, at the cost of trillions of dollars which go into the pockets of the deep state and China, is because of IN VITRO results.
Thus, if it’s OK to have vaccines that do what Pfizer’s vaccine does, then it’s OK to remove the restrictions on benzene, and have benzene everywhere. Likewise for thousands of other chemicals.
Starting to see how this works? Let’s move on.
Alex Berenson:
Hey, remember how they told you the mRNA in the vaccines could NEVER wind up in human DNA? A new study out of Sweden suggests otherwise (at least in lab-grown cells).
Don’t worry, everything is fine.
After all, we have all that long-term placebo-controlled clinical trial data proving the safety of these mRNA shots.*
So About Not Needing Actual Study…[Comments enabled]
Oh, mRNA won’t get taken up into cell lines and thus can’t propagate on a permanent basis in the human body, we were told.
Indeed that’s rather important. Mutagenic (cancer), cytotoxic (you’re ****ed) and teratogenic (any child you give birth to or sire is ****ed) things that get into cellular DNA can lead to irreversible damage because most cells in the body are replaced on regular basis.
There’s an infamous quote that is in fact wrong: Our body fully replaces itself every seven years. That’s not true. It came out of a study that looked at the average age of cells in a human, using Carbon-14 dating. Anyone who has done any sort of statistical work knows the problem with averages: They are just that, and the statistical outliers are there but unaccounted for with such simplistic tripe.
There are several types of cells that are never replaced. Certain ones in the cerebellum, for example, that deal with coordination and balance, those in the ocular lenses and the eggs in a woman’s ovaries.
There are also cells that are much more-frequently replaced. Red blood cells, for example, have a roughly 90 day life cycle. This is why an A1c test, which measures glycated hemoglobin (that is, red cells that have been damaged by glucose) will tell you what your average blood glucose level has been over the last three months. The epithelial cells in your intestines last only about five days, and the live (dermal) part of your skin is replaced in about 2 weeks. Skeletal muscle and the rest of your intestines, on the other hand, are good for around 15 years.
But with few exceptions it is indeed true that most cells are in fact replaced. This is why you can get cancer; when there is an error in that replication the result can be a cell that has wildly damaged regulatory mechanisms on self-replication. If that damage kills the cell immediately then there’s no real foul, but if it leads to much more rapid reproduction…… that’s cancer.
We have known for quite a while that viruses can and do in some cases infiltrate into DNA. We know this because we’ve found pieces of viral RNA in our genome and not a few of them either; they’re literally all over the human genomic code. It’s wildly improbable that said congruence happened by random alignment of the various codons in our genetic code; ergo, it got in there at some point in evolution and then got into either the eggs of a developing female fetus or the sperm of a male and thus propagated. We only know, of course, about the integrations that weren’t fatal to offspring or the person in question. We also know that in general genetic mutation is harmful or fatal nearly all the time, so that we have said evidence in our genome means this sort of thing happens quite frequently and most of the time it screws the person who has it happen to them.
Indeed some cancers are blamed on viral infections where the viral RNA gets transcribed into the DNA of the cells and causes said errors.
mRNA is not really “new” technology; Moderna has been trying to make it work for cancer, for example, for a long time — without success. The reason for failure has always been dose-related toxicity that has overtaken the benefit when used in sufficient quantity to actually deliver a therapeutic effect. This is not an uncommon reason for drug and therapy failure; in fact that too happens all the time.
But we didn’t bother doing intermediate and longer-term study on the specifics of using mRNA (or, for that matter, a modified virus as with J&J) to deliver a partial viral payload in this regard before rolling it out. Instead, we just trusted that there’d be no integration. Indeed zero epigenic, mutagenic and teratogenic studies were done;they take years to do and we just flat-out didn’t bother. Where we had original control groups in the summer and fall of 2020 we intentionally destroyed them by giving the placebo arm of the original trials the drug three months later, making analysis on any sort of clean analytical basis impossible.
This was wild arrogance given that we know viruses do indeed integrate via infection. To presume it won’t happen here, when we cause cells to produce viral proteins, when the very same thing, producing viruses when a cell is infected, sometimes does is ridiculously and wildly-irresponsible arrogance.
In the BNT162b2 toxicity report, no genotoxicity nor carcinogenicity studies have been provided [26]. Our study shows that BNT162b2 can be reverse transcribed to DNA in liver cell line Huh7, and this may give rise to the concern if BNT162b2-derived DNA may be integrated into the host genome and affect the integrity of genomic DNA, which may potentially mediate genotoxic side effects. At this stage, we do not know if DNA reverse transcribed from BNT162b2 is integrated into the cell genome.
This study does not prove that said genetic pollution has occurred, but it raises the distinct possibility as the precursor events required for this to occur are now known to happen with scientific certainty.
We don’t know because we deliberately did not look; the studies were not done prior to use.
Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated as gDNA[1]) is chromosomal DNA, in contrast to extra-chromosomal DNAs like plasmids. Most organisms have the same genomic DNA in every cell; however, only certain genes are active in each cell to allow for cell function and differentiation within the body.[2]
The genome of an organism (encoded by the genomic DNA) is the (biological) information of heredity which is passed from one generation of organism to the next. That genome is transcribed to produce various RNAs, which are necessary for the function of the organism. Precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) is transcribed by RNA polymerase II in the nucleus. pre-mRNA is then processed by splicing to remove introns, leaving the exons in the mature messenger RNA (mRNA). Additional processing includes the addition of a 5′ cap and a poly(A) tail to the pre-mRNA. The mature mRNA may then be transported to the cytosol and translated by the ribosome into a protein. Other types of RNA include ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA). These types are transcribed by RNA polymerase II and RNA polymerase III, respectively, and are essential for protein synthesis. However 5s rRNA is the only rRNA which is transcribed by RNA Polymerase III.[3]
Used in a sentence:
While we tend to be more concerned about changes to genomic DNA, changes to any kind of human DNA are potentially problematic.

Christmas Spirit
We continue our WAAAAAY too-long celebration of Christmas by noting that some of our neighbors STILL have their lights and decorations up.
We saw a nice red Christmas bow laying in somebody’s yard by their driveway.
We ourselves just got rid of our tree.
And TODAY is the 25th of the month. That’s VERY “Christmassy”.
So yeah. Given that there are a few daysweeks months AFTER Christmas where it’s STILL Christmas, that means we have a few more weeks left. Riiiiiiight?
Sure! So have some hot CHRISTMAS chocolate!
And now, the rules of the pub.
HOUSE RULES
God bless us, every one! Tiny Tim had such a beautiful soul. He hadn’t a mean bone in his body…unlike most of us. But in keeping with Christmas, we promise to honor Wolf’s rules and keep Scrooge at bay. The Utree is where the Ghost of Christmas Present will conduct you should you need to rattle some chains. Another option, should all hell break loose is here.
Now, back to business.
AMEN!

WHATEVER.
Here is that final CDC alert. Only the top 3 paragraphs are important here.
Let me quote the text of those first 3 paragraphs for Zoe. I will make BOLD what is important.
Dear Partners in Prevention,
December 20, 2021
I’m writing to share the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) alert sent to clinical laboratory staff and health care providers about a syphilis test. The alert reports that false reactivity, or “false-positive,” Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR; non-treponemal) test results, when using the Bio-Rad Laboratories BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR kit, can occur in some people who received a COVID-19 vaccine and includes recommendations for addressing these potential false positives.
Historically, false-reactive RPR test results have been observed in people with systemic infections unrelated to syphilis, such as tuberculosis, rickettsial diseases, and endocarditis.False-reactive RPR testing also has been previously observed following immunization (specifically following smallpox vaccine). False reactivity with RPR can also occur during pregnancy.
Per CDC’s 2021 STI Treatment Guidelines, reactive RPR results should always be confirmed with treponemal testing (e.g., Treponema pallidum particle agglutination, TP-PA). This is, in part, because of the above-mentioned issue: false-positive nontreponemal test results can be associated with multiple medical conditions and factors unrelated to syphilis. According to FDA’s alert, treponemal testing for syphilis does not appear to be impacted by this issue.
Allow me to translate.
It turns out that “being vaccinated for COVID-19” throws off an ANTIBODY-BASED SYPHILIS TEST, and can give false positives.
The reason is that these are a sort of antibodies against substances released from cells attacked by certain diseases and conditions. Thus, they’re not exclusively the downstream product of syphilis.
Normally, certain diseases, certain vaccines, and pregnancy can all throw off this more rapid but less conclusive syphilis test, and that is part of the reason why people are supposed to follow up this easier test, with a test that looks for the actual organism which causes syphilis.
Thus, we have added one more cause for the test to be thrown off.
This is not the same as the HIV test that was thrown off by a particular Australian vaccine, because the antigen in the vaccine actually contained an HIV protein (gp41) as part of the vaccine, and created antibodies against HIV. I talked about that last week. That was a much more direct test interference, easily expected.

What I find interesting is that one of the things that normally sets off the syphilis test is endocarditis.
Endocarditis, which is inflammation of the inner surfaces of the heart, is one of the three main heart inflammations, thus being pretty damned close to myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the outer sac), both of which have very prominent correlations to the jabs.
So while this means that – NO – the shots are not giving people syphilis – the shots ARE basically acting like an illness, and very much like a known cardiac illness.
You were warned.
Now – while I was researching syphilis, I became interested in the treatment with compounds of mercury.
Traditional mercury-based pastes were used in cures. Whilst this was partially effective, the toxic side effects of the mercury probably outweighed any advantages.
This is actually a HUGE understatement.
It turned out that arsenic was considerably better.
It wasn’t too long after that success, that penicillin took over as the real cure for syphilis.
I will come back to MERCURY in a future post, because I found something quite amazing in its history.
But if you look ONE COLUMN TO THE LEFT and TWO ROWS UP…..
COPPER is also bacteriostatic and algicidal – and at concentrations below where it is a health risk. And THAT leads back to a DRINK that Grandmaintexas introduced us to……
Moscow Mule Revisited
Based upon my reading of Grandma’s post on the subject, the Moscow Mule simply is not a proper Moscow Mule unless it is served in copper vessels.
The health effects of COPPER are about as debatable as the effects of mercury – although, in general, copper is much less toxic, so when it’s being “not good for you”, it’s a lot less “not good for you” than lead. At the same time, copper is much MORE toxic to things like algae, fungi, plant roots, and other “pests”, than it is to us, and that is why it is found among the gardening pesticides in hardware stores. The antimicrobial activity of copper is extremely well-documented, but appears to be complex. Simply having copper in the household or workplace environment seems to have health benefits – and this was particularly noted back in the days of less sanitary environments. Water passing through copper fixtures tended not to spread disease.
We tend to forget about OLD SCIENCE, so we can’t put new things into good perspective.
LEAD and other CHEMICAL ADVANCES saved us from the horrible BIOLOGICAL diseases and maladies of the uncivilized life.
Did they have chemical consequences? Yes. The TRICK is REMEMBERING AND ADMITTING OLD RISKS AND BENEFITS while also DISCOVERING AND ADMITTING NEW RISKS AND BENEFITS, then BALANCING HONESTLY with the PROPER PRIORITIES which put PEOPLE FIRST.
It is VERY easy to see where CDC went off the rails with the COVID-19 vaccines, being unable to admit old benefits (of lasting immunity to caught and treated diseases), while also being unable to admit new risks (of vaccines using untested and immature technologies).
Likewise, looking back, it is easy to see that basic sanitation – not vaccination – REALLY conquered diseases. Vaccines came in, mopped up, and took all the credit, by design, because bad people realized that vaccines in the hands of a technological elite, combined with an ignorant populace they can essentially murder and experiment on at will, allow them to basically FARM HUMANITY.
Sorry, Bill Gates. We understand your social engineering of us. We know your M.O. We know your real intentions. Including for the “people of color” you pretend to care about.
You will note that, in general, the further down the periodic table one goes, the more toxic the metals. Surprisingly, the second-lightest one – beryllium – is quite toxic, but even lightweight aluminum simply isn’t all that bad, in the big picture (but you’ve got to keep it on the OUTSIDE). In contrast, if you get down and heavy there with mercury, thallium and lead, or even as far down the table as cadmium and indium, the metals can be quite toxic.
Lead used to be used for plumbing – enough to lend its name to the profession. Copper then took over – before plastic began to displace copper. Nevertheless, copper is still highly valued for plumbing, as well as for electrical wiring.
As noted above, copper in drinking water is an interesting beast. Lead and copper in drinking water are controlled by the EPA under something called the Lead and Copper Rule, or LCR. Note that the linked document, which talks about the most recent “upgrade” to the rule, is over 400 pages. Yeah – there is a MESS of goofiness outside the actual rule there. Most of the concern is about lead, which is now highly restricted. Here is all that is said about copper’s toxicity in the linked explainer:
Acute copper exposure causes gastrointestinal distress. Chronic exposure to copper is particularly a concern for people with Wilson’s disease because they are prone to copper accumulation in body tissue, which can lead to liver damage, neurological, and/or psychiatric symptoms. For a more detailed explanation of the health effects associated with copper see Appendix E of the final rule Economic Analysis (USEPA, 2020). EPA did not propose revisions to the copper requirements; thus, the final rule does not revise the copper requirements.
Copper is basically off the hook at 1.3 ppm or below. That number has not been upgraded. Why is that level important? In my opinion, it’s because copper is bacteriostatic and algicidal in practice at between 0.1 and 1.0 ppm. Thus, one can SAFELY DRINK water which is being purified against microorganisms with copper.
And THAT would include the Moscow Mule, depending upon how long it sits.
I refer you now to an excellent article, which relies on a breathless scaremongering headline, but actually DOES provide a balanced set of viewpoints on both the DANGERS and BENEFITS of dietary copper.
Sipping This Popular Cocktail Is a “Health Hazard,” Experts Say
AFTER 27 MINUTES, YOU MAY BE AT RISK OF HEAVY METAL POISONING.
First of all, copper isn’t really a “heavy metal” IMO, but whatever. It’s heavier than some.
You will note, after reading at the link, that you have to drink a ton of Moscow Mules, or a few that have sat around for a very long time, to MAYBE get sickened by them.
In general, avoid drinking acidic things that have been in contact with copper for a long time, and you will be OK.
Remember – most household water has sat around in copper pipes for quite a while at neutral pH, and it’s simply not toxic (due to copper). You DO get less lead if you flush your water 30 seconds before getting drinking water, but again – we’re talking about levels that would make Romans, Victorians, and even people from 70 years ago howl with laughter at our prissy over-concern – even knowing the science.
Perspective is very important – as you are about to see in a beautiful example of the failure of modern science, thanks to CCP socialism infecting both global science and science publishing.
Failure of Socialized Science and Peer Review Exposed in a JAMA-Published Ivermectin Study
The fact that Pierre Kory now calls JAMA “PHAMA” is a nice short way of saying that medicine has been utterly taken over by the pharmaceutical industry, and IMO set back several thousand years. Hippocrates would be HORRIFIED by what has happened to medicine – and I say that as somebody OUTSIDE medicine, and a lot closer to the pharmaceutical industry.
IMO it’s too late to save the pharmaceutical industry from scandalous criminal survival – but it’s not too late to save the profession of medicine from utter moral death. And thus, you will be treated to my following scientific opinion.
Steve Kirsch doesn’t play defense. He saw how JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association) completely FUMBLED an ivermectin paper, and how Pierre Kory picked it up off the ground, taking complete control, but more or less just standing there, lamenting the bad refs and horrible cheating. So Kirsch did the only thing he does. He grabbed the ball from Kory and ran it back for a touchdown.
“New JAMA paper show Ivermectin blows the COVID vaccines out of the water”
This is an utter reversal of the conclusion of the paper.
All because some guy in the stands named “Massimaux” spotted the free ball and yelled “FUMBLE!!!”
If you understand science, and science publishing, then you will see that what Kirsch did here was BRUTAL. And I’m gonna show you where all the bruises and black eyes are.
I almost feel sorry for JAMA, but not enough to miss this opportunity to LEAP ONTO THE DOGPILE and give AMA’s hare-brained PC leadership a good WEDGIE.
Don’t worry about the AMA. They’re protected by Pfizer, Biden, and the media. And just like any good mafia arrangement, as long as AMA keeps saying the right things, and not saying the wrong things, everything is gonna be OK.
Everything but science. But that’s OK, too.
We’ll take care of things. Just like we did here.
Here is the Kirsch gab that grabbed my attention.
Repeating for Zoe, as well as our silicon friends…..
“Wait a second. I thought there was some paper just out that Alex Berenson said was basically the end of ivermectin, although scientifically, I know that’s pretty much impossible. I know there is SOME explanation for why this paper (which I have not read yet) has to be deviating in some way from the MANY papers that show limited but solid efficacy – and especially against DEATH – just like HCQ. But this CANNOT be the same paper. No way! Kirsch would not be saying this unless the results were stunningly IN FAVOR of ivermectin, and there is no WAY that some authors with a NEGATIVE-LEANING study would be……. I mean….. WHAT THE HELL????”
SO – I just stopped to see what in the hell paper Kirsch was talking about.
Now we’ve discussed (in the comments on this site) Berenson’s very weird attack on Robert Malone when they appeared together on Fox News, which didn’t make sense THEN, but which does NOW – and I will explain that momentarily. But first, back to Kirsch.
Kirsch explains that – YES – this paper states in BOTH its abstract and its conclusion the following:
“The study findings do not support the use of ivermectin for patients with COVID-19.”
However, that is NOT what the data says.
Certainly not to everybody.
Certainly not to me.
In other words, DIFFERENT scientists (like Kirsch, Kory, me, and an anonymous Twitter poster names Massimaux, who found the key issue) have looked at the data, and see something quite different.
Kory goes into a rather long analysis of the whole war against ivermectin, but Kirsch digs into Kory’s article and then finds and elucidates the key nugget – discovered by Massimaux – that just ends the arguments.
It helps to read this in Kirsch’s article, but if you’re going to be lazy, I’ll explain here.
Here is Massimaux’s tweet:
In the I-TECH study, of 490 patients, 241 got Ivermectin and 331 were vaccinated.
Can we compute the vaccine effectiveness AGAINST DEATH and Ivermectin effectiveness AGAINST DEATH? Yes, we can! See the figure.
Look at the bottom line in the two tables and compare. Not only is ivermectin CLEARLY better than the vaccine at preventing death – the significance of the result is significantly greater.
If the efficacy of ivermectin against death is not true, then very little else in the study is true.
This data says that ivermectin is exactly what we’ve been saying it is. It’s not a miracle cure, but it WORKS – particularly in preventing DEATH – its only real purpose. That result is IN THE PAPER. It is IN THE DATA. And if the authors want to argue that it’s not in the data, because it’s not significant enough, then nothing ELSE is in the data, because most everything else is even LESS significant.
Now it’s very important to realize that this nice little pair of tables FROM THE DATA is not due to the original authors – it’s due to a POST-PUBLICATION “peer review” by somebody who looked at the very same data, and PROVED using the authors’ own data that they were WRONG to say that the data didn’t support use of ivermectin.
So why did the authors tack on that wrong statement?
Did the EDITORS make them tack on that statement? Did the AUTHORS tack it on to get the paper to publish? Or is the “peer bias” against ivermectin, mostly due to the media, SO STRONG that scientists didn’t even look through their own data to see a conclusion they didn’t want to see?
Or is it a combination of ALL of these?
It is clearly in the data that ivermectin is three times as effective as the vaccines in preventing death. Even more importantly, if you add in what is known OUTSIDE the paper in question – namely the adverse effects of the vaccine and the safety of ivermectin, then it’s a no-brainer to NOT take the vaccine and to just use ivermectin. And Kirsch explains THAT rather nicely.
The data LITERALLY justify our position.
This was my hunch all along, and as vaccine side effects loomed larger and larger, and ivermectin proved to be rather shockingly harmless, even at antiviral doses comparable to large-animal systemic antiparasitic doses. All ivermectin had to do was prevent death to some moderate extent, and it was a no-brainer that people should take it.
To conclude anything else, based on the data, is murderous folly, in my opinion.
When I was a young lad – a mere student – but also one who WROTE PAPERS (because I had a great professor who TRAINED US to be full-blooded scientists), we EXPECTED to be CRITICIZED in peer review by people exactly like Steve Kirsch, Pierre Kory, and myself. We expected that others would look at data and see it completely differently.
And we would then have to ACKNOWLEDGE the alternative interpretations, or convince the editors that the criticism was not even worth acknowledging (a VERY rare occurrence in any legitimately contested field).
My lab had PRACTICE criticizing other people’s work – and we expected it in return. I personally found quite a few errors in the literature. Most were small – mostly problems of the writing – but some were huge and affected the science. Sometimes the big errors would only partially alter the author’s conclusions, but other times they had a significant impact.
However, I have to admit that I never ran into data which PROVED THE OPPOSITE of the authors’ main conclusion – even if only to the critic – and THAT is what we have here.
PEER REVIEW is designed to subject a paper to (hopefully at least TWO) critical readers who will very likely DEMAND improvements. Those improvements often mean acknowledging DIFFERENT views of the data as being possible and maybe even reasonable.
That kind of QUALITY peer review was VERY OBVIOUSLY not done here.
What we have RIGHT HERE is a demonstration that HERD REVIEW is much more important than PEER REVIEW.
PEER REVIEW is subject to BIAS. It is subject to SUBVERSION and GAMING.
I go back to the Zhang mask paper, for crying out loud.
To me, this will always remain a horrifying example of “fitting the data to the theory”, rather than looking to see what the data says. You can just look at this graph and see the crime.
I lay this stuff SQUARELY at the feet of SOCIALISM, which has politicized science and removed control of science from the people of science themselves, investing much of it in a media which WILL NOT question government narratives. People raised under socialism who become “go-alongers” – and so SOME degree that is everybody – stop questioning things that need to be questioned.
I have WATCHED and I have SEEN how WEF and CCP corruption have degraded science everywhere.
They’re not going to fix this stuff – at least not yet.
But until then, know this:
Ivermectin WORKS, and it was just proven by people who said it doesn’t work.
Thanks to HERD REVIEW.
One last point.
Why did Alex Berenson not see this?
IMO, it’s because Berenson is simply not a scientist – he’s an investigative journalist. Thus, his virtue-signaling attack on Malone was meant to show “journalistic balance”, NOT that he himself had deeply researched the history of the topic, in which case he (Berenson) would have likely said “Yes, Malone really is the most foundational of the founding fathers of the tech.”
But let’s not blame Alex too hard. THE AUTHORS OF THIS STUDY – that’s right – the authors themselves – didn’t see it, either.
See what I’ve always said? Real science is contentious.
But it has a good heart.
It wants the TRUTH.
ENJOY THE SHOW.
Thank you all for being here. Have a great weekend.
