Get your rest, Trumpy Bear! You’re going back to the White House!!!
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 ….. RISE to the occasion!
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.
Try to live up to the FOUNDERS.
Value FREEDOM over COMFORT.
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 enemies, perhaps that they might not fear our prayers, nor scoff at them, but simply HEED them and be blessed.
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.
I’ve decided to go straight for the “epic” genre tonight. Back from ROCK’N’ROLL and COUNTRY BABES to some CORE WHEATIE. But maybe with a WOLF SPIN.
Let’s start off with some EPIC VIOLIN….
Interesting, but not quite the real McCoy for classical fans.
So how about the same sort of thing, with “epic classical”?
Here you go!
And yet…. I’m still searching for something else.
Maybe a little “Epic Pop”?
AH. That’s what I wanted.
Call To Battle
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 speaking of “getting out”, there are a HERD of RINOs who could be evicted this spring! Are we up to the task?
Who Are The RINOs?
There are too many – FAR to many – to detail here.
So I’ve selected just three of the RINOs who HAVE TO GO.
All of these RINOs have let us down – not by fake plots like the “Trump let us down” crap that was mouthed by “Buffalo Boy” / “QAnon Shaman” on the orders of Deep State and Woke Military, but by actually acting like DEMOCRATS and letting us down.
There will be more. This is just the beginning.
SUNDANCE has a GREAT POST about how we need to NOT just say “AWW, SHUCKS – cOvID is over – let’s just forgive the tyrants” – NO. There must be an ANSWERING for what was done.
If you see RINOs backing off and backing down, you know why. They know that they kowtowed and genuflected to the WRONG TYRANNY.
Let’s start off with the biggest loser in the bunch.
Doug Ducey – Arizona Senate
Horrible RINO Doug Ducey, governor of Arizona, who allowed the UniParty to steal the election from Trump, is no friend of the people. Term-limited to two terms, he can’t remain governor – but that doesn’t stop the UniParty from finding a new place to park his RINO azz.
The wicked OLD CROW Shanghai Mitch is pushing the election theft-protecting RAT Doug Ducey to run for the Senate, to help in Mitch’s CHINO-RINO plans.
So far, “The Deuce” hasn’t signed on, but keep an eye on this dastardly plot.
RINOs. They fight extinction….. HARD!
Greg Abbott – Texas Governor
Remember when it was Abbott vs. DeSantis for the title of “Most Trumpian governor”?
Well, look at who COVID and THE BORDER destroyed.
THE PEOPLE have a way of seeing ALL TALK and NO ACTION.
Not sure what happened to Abbott, but he has NOT been stepping up strongly.
So who has? STAY TUNED.
Mike DeWine – Ohio Governor
Mike DeWine is a nice guy, but there are millions of nice guys who are not equipped to be a wartime governor – much less fight a war against tyranny – against sinister forces – both foreign and domestic.
The enemy was quickly identified as not being COVID per se, but rather a coalition of self-interested VULTURES. Radical leftists, resurgent Soviets, European globalists, DC bureaucrats, psychotic elites, woke corporations, Big Pharma, virtue-signaling science and professional organizations, rogue intelligence agencies, the DNC, and Chinese hegemonists – and that’s before we start at the bottom with Mask Karens and vaxx pushers.
A conspiracy of instincts and interests – of people who have designs to plunder this great nation, and have already staked far too big a claim on Ohio.
MASS FORMATION PSYCHOSIS, FORMING A MASS OF NPCs.
DeWine made a HUGE mistake with his mask mandates and Amy Acton-inspired COVID buffoonery. Republicans tried to warn him as it became clear that we were being snookered by the leftists and globalists, but DeWine failed to listen.
Eventually people figured it out. Mike DeWine is John Kasich’s third term, just like Biden is Obama’s third term.
Do we REALLY want a fourth Kasich term?
UniParty Republicans have been good for business when the business was selling out America, but now that America’s gas tank is almost EMPTY, maybe it’s time for people who actually understand that profiting on a CHINA FUND isn’t actually WINNING.
Why DeWine is so beholden to the Dems and China is beyond me, but it may have something to do with Columbus, Ohio being a deep blue zone that runs a bright red state. I think the statehouse is basically OWNED by the surrounding turf, and the Democrats communists are able to control or at least influence the perceptions of everybody in Ohio politics.
In any case, DeWine is a RISK to Ohio. The left manipulates him with impunity. He’s a nice guy – he’s an easy candidate to sell to DEMOCRATS – but he’s also UTTERLY CONTROLLABLE by the DNC.
There ARE other choices.
And not just in MASKS.
Who Will Send the RINOs and DEMs Packing?
Looking at the three RINOs above, and in Ducey’s case, the office that he’s leaving, let’s see who is “chasing out the RINOs”.
Technically, it was TERM LIMITS that sent Dupey Ducey out of office, to be swooned by the OLD CROW himself, Mitch McConnell, to run for one of Arizona’s two Senate seats. There are several Republicans running for governor now. ALL of them appear solid on the issues, but the one that MAGA loves, and the left fears the most, is clearly Kari Lake.
The EVIL BITCH Katie Hobbs is running for Arizona governor on the Dem ticket because her “life out of jail” depends on it. More wicked Maricopa County cheating may keep Hobbs out of jail, too – but if anybody can beat her, it’s Kari Lake, so Hobbs is ALREADY gearing up against Lake on a “Kari is QAnon” platform.
Trust me – when Kari Lake is done with cheatin’ Katie Hobbs, Katie’s gonna look like the CAT LADY she is.
Don’t let Arizona become the next California or New Mexico. Kari Lake is the FIREWALL.
My, how Allen West has outlived the UniParty machine that always painted HIM as the whack-a-doodle – only for that machine to go along with the utter INSANITY we see coming out of Washington now.

(Hat Tip sundance)
The people who went along with all this crap need to be REMOVED.
End of story.
Yeah, Abbott ain’t Muriel Bowser or Kate Brown, but he’s no DeSantis. And speaking of which…..
Ohio – Jim Renacci or Joe Blystone
Ohio Republicans have a problem. They have three main choices for governor.
“Milquetoast” Mike DeWine, who will INEVITABLY order fresh mandates – to the ability that he can – if the Democrats and China release another virus.
“Constitutional Conservative” Joe Blystone – a “guilty pleasure” candidate who the MSM absolutely loves to inflate, then harass and scandalize, because he’s an easy target, with an utterly chaotic “Farmer Joe” campaign.
“Ohio’s DeSantis” Jim Renacci – who the media and UniParty absolutely DO NOT want anybody to realize is an option, and having been rather successful in that regard.
In my opinion, Blystone is the most like a Trump voter, but Renacci is the most like Trump. Do the math.
The media is clearly elevating Blystone to try to STOP a Renacci challenge, and keep DeWine in office, nice and controlled.
Renacci has LITERALLY promised to govern like Florida’s Ron DeSantis. Renacci also picked a very interesting Lieutenant Governor candidate to run with him – somebody very skilled with MSM-independent media messaging – an Ohio-based Christian film producer named Joe Knopp.
You may remember one of his films.
Knopp did a documentary on Trump, seen through the women around him, and in doing so, was spurred to enter politics.
Here is a great article on Knopp and how he became Renacci’s co-candidate.
Ultimately, in the general election, I will support ANY of these three against WHOEVER the Demon Dems decide to run. But for the primary, I think the smart money is on Renacci. He’s always been in the Ohio Republican machine, but he’s “new machine” – Trump era.
Blystone? In my opinion, his winning the primary leads by any of several paths to a succession of Democrat governors. And that is the LEAST of the reasons why the Democrats are behind him.
Trump was a finely tuned weapon that we aimed at the mess in Washington, and hit a bullseye.
Renacci would be the same for Ohio.
Blystone is a stinkbomb that we would enjoy throwing into the Statehouse – for ONE TERM MAX, and more likely ZERO TERMS.
Renacci has experience – as a mayor, as a Congressman, and as a businessman. I think he’s the guy.
And he can always appoint Blystone as Secretary of Cleaning Out RINOs.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
stalking horse
noun
A horse used as cover by a hunter stalking game
A candidate put forward instead of any of several potentially successful candidates in order to initiate a leadership debate, gauge feelings, divide opposition, etc.
A stalking horse is a figure used to test a concept or mount a challenge on behalf of an anonymous third party. If the idea proves viable or popular, the anonymous figure can then declare its interest and advance the concept with little risk of failure. If the concept fails, the anonymous party will not be tainted by association with the failed concept and can either drop the idea completely or bide its time and wait until a better moment for launching an attack.
Used in a sentence:
In American politics, George W. Romney believed that Nelson Rockefeller had used him as a stalking horse in the 1968 Republican Party presidential primaries by promising support, then not providing it and hinting at his own entry into the campaign.
SPECIAL SECTION: Message For Our “Friends” In The Middle Kingdom
I normally save this for near the end, but…basically…up your shit-kicking barbarian asses. Yes, barbarian! It took a bunch of sailors in Western Asia to invent a real alphabet instead of badly drawn cartoons to write with. So much for your “civilization.”
Yeah, the WORLD noticed you had to borrow the Latin alphabet to make Pinyin. Like with every other idea you had to steal from us “Foreign Devils” since you rammed your heads up your asses five centuries ago, you sure managed to bastardize it badly in the process.
Have you stopped eating bats yet? Are you shit-kickers still sleeping with farm animals?
Or maybe even just had the slightest inkling of treating lives as something you don’t just casually dispose of?
中国是个混蛋 !!! Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!! China is asshoe !!!
And here’s my response to barbarian “asshoes” like you:
OK, with that rant out of my system…
Biden Gives Us Too Much Credit
…we can move on to the next one.
Apparently Biden (or his puppeteer) has decided we’re to blame for all of the fail in the United States today.
Sorry to disappoint you Joe (or whoever), but you managed to do that all on your own; not only that, you wouldn’t let us NOT give you the chance because you insisted on cheating your way into power.
Yep, you-all are incompetent, and so proud of it you expect our applause for your sincerity. Fuck that!!
It wouldn’t be so bad, but you insist that everyone else have to share in your misery. Nope, can’t have anyone get out from under it. Somehow your grand vision only works if every single other person on earth is forced to go along. So much as ONE PERSON not going along is enough to make it all fail, apparently.
In engineering school we’re taught that a design that has seven to eight billion single points of failure…sucks.
Actually, we weren’t taught that. Because it would never have occurred to the professors to use such a ridiculous example.
The So-Called Vax
I think I can actually make sense of the Vaxers now. (And I’m going to call it the “treatment” from here forward.)
Everything they do makes sense (from their point of view, that is), if you assume that they believe the purpose of the treatment is to prevent the recipient from infecting others. It’s not to protect the recipient from others, it’s to protect others from the recipient.
(Now it is true that an actual vax helps slow the spread of the disease. I know you can sometimes transmit a disease if vaxed, but it’s more difficult if you don’t actually don’t catch it. But I am not talking about the side-benefit of a real vax; I’m talking about what they think of THIS treatment, where, apparently the only benefit it confers is to prevent people from transmitting it.)
Under those circumstances, they can consider you selfish for not wanting to protect others. After all you refuse to take a treatment that will prevent others from catching the disease from you. And, indeed, they do consider you “selfish” and not in the positive way that Ayn Rand used the term.
But it’s yet another one of those things where ONE non-compliant individual ruins it for everyone else–at least, that’s what they think it is. ONE untreated person could infect the entire human race, because they aren’t protected from him.
Never mind that this is not what a vaccine is supposed to be doing. If you assume that the motherf*cking toilet licker in front of you shrieking about how you’re Satan Incarnate for not being jabbed believes that the sole purpose of the treatment is to prevent the recipient from spreading the disease–not to prevent the recipient from catching it–suddenly his behavior makes sense, at least based on what he believes (and you can’t expect anyone to behave in accordance with things they don’t believe).
So perhaps the best way to argue with these people is to simply point out calmly that a vaccine (their word) is supposed to protect the recipient from those with the disease [which of course we say] not prevent them from giving it to other people [identify their false premise and face it head on] they might actually feel like they’re being argued with, rather than talked past.
If you don’t confront their actual premise, arguing with them can accomplish nothing.
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Mozart
Sedate. The adagio (2nd movement) from his clarinet concerto.
And a bit…less sedate. Last movement of his Symphony #41 which is the last one he wrote.
(Don’t be fooled by the fact that there’s a Symphony #42, or 43, or…well up to #55 at least…as I explained last time the numbering isn’t really chronological. To the best of my knowledge he’s got at least 51 symphonies under his belt (though some are disputed), so if we were ever to renumber them, this one would be #51. But we never will renumber them; that would cause confusion for centuries.)
By the way, that sucker ends in a five part fugue. Not easy to write!

JWST Update
The James Webb Space Telescope has succesfully deployed all 18 pieces of the primary mirror and the secondary mirror from their “stowed for launch” positions. That involved moving them half an inch (12.5mm) from where they were before, using the same actuators that will be used over the next three months for the next major phase of the mission.
I was surprised to see that NASA had slipped the L2 insertion burn a day. I didn’t think that was possible; at some point the spacecraft has reached where it needs to be to do this, and you don’t want to miss the window. Obviously, I don’t know all the details…because despite being originally scheduled for Sunday, it’s now slated for Monday.
At some point after that, I believe, they will begin the process of lining up the mirror segments with each other. They need to mimic a single parabolic mirror, and that will require them all to be re-positioned with accuracies of less than ten billionths of a meter. This will be done with the same motors that took the mirrors out of “stowed” position. That motion was a million times larger, yet the same actuators were responsible. It’s as if you had a combined brain surgery scalpel/chain saw for cutting things around the house. The mirror alignment is expected to take three months, and the impression I’ve received is that they will be done one at a time and checked with algorithms that have benefited people with certain visual impairments here on Earth (including one that I have). I have no idea how much, if any, NASA will be updating people during the process.
Meanwhile the sensors that these mirrors gather the light for, continue to cool and will also be brought on line and calibrated. We’re still looking at June for the first meaningful pictures, which will be false-color infrared pictures.
The First Exoplanets Not Orbiting Star Corpses
One Last Detection Method
There’s one more, rather rare, method of detecting extrasolar planets (or “Exoplanets” for short) and the surprising thing about this method is it actually has happened.
Occasionally we will see one (fairly close) star pass directly in front of a more distant star; the closer star will appear to be moving faster (more likely) than the distant one.
When that happens, the gravity of the nearer star bends some of the starlight from the more distant star, and that star is “gravitationally lensed.” More light from that star reaches us than would otherwise be the case and it gets brighter as the other star crosses in front of it.
This has actually been observed to happen. Furthermore, sometimes there’s a secondary “spike” in the brightness of the distant star, which we believe is due to gravitational lensing around a planet of the nearby star. It’s a lot weaker and of shorter duration than the main event, but it can be detected.
It seems incredibly unlikely that this should ever happen, but it has. A small (but significant) number of exoplanets have been detected this way. However, we’ll almost certainly never be able to confirm the planet by the same means, because the star would have to pass directly in front of yet another star for this to happen.
But that’s getting ahead of our story for tonight.
Patience Rewarded
Geoffrey WIlliam Marcy (b. 1954) was, in the early 1990s, chasing rainbows. He was having trouble with his main line of research, and was beginning to think he was a failure as an astrophysicist. So he decided to flame out with a bang…and search for exoplanets.
Remember that back then, this was something no one wanted to be caught dead trying to do; it smacked too much of looking for E.T.
That didn’t stop Marcy; he began trying to use the Doppler Shift method I described last week. And I should have been more careful describing it; it turns out it’s called the “Radial Velocity Method.”
He looked for years, and found nothing. His instruments weren’t sensitive enough to detect a small (Earth size, say, or smaller) planet, and there simply weren’t any indications of large planets, either. He had spent years looking for a signal of a large planet, in a large (and therefore long-period) orbit. This is what everyone expected. But, nothing.
But then in December, 1995, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, Swiss astronomers, reported having found an exoplanet in orbit around a star named 51 Pegasi.
“51 Pegasi” is a “Flamsteed designation” according to a system invented by John Flamsteed in the early 1700s; he essentially numbered the stars in each constellation, and 51 Pegasi is a star in the constellation Pegasus. Almost every naked-eye-visible star visible from England got a Flamsteed number. This includes stars that already had a Bayer designation (constellation name plus a Greek letter). For instance Betelgeuse, Alpha Orinonis, is also 58 Orionis according to the Flamsteed designation.
The upshot is that 51 Pegasi is a faint star, but is visible to the naked eye (barely) on a very dark night far away from city lights. In fact, it’s of almost exactly the same spectral class as our Sun; it’s a G2IV whereas our Sun is a G2V. It’s believed to be a bit older (6.1-8.1 billion years versus 4.6 billion) than our Sun.
But it’s a nice, ordinary star, maybe getting a bit long in the tooth, but a nice, ordinary star. Not some pulsar corpse of a star, made of solid neutronium, spewing massive amounts of radiation everywhere like a firehose as it spins like a top hundreds of times a second!
The planet was immediately designated 51 Pegasi b (according to that convention I complained about two weeks ago), and it fell to Marcy and his team mates to confirm it.
Which they almost immediately did.
It didn’t take long to do so. They were able to watch it orbit 51 Pegasi a couple of times, because this planet (originally dubbed Bellerophon, after the mythic rider of Pegasus, but now called Dimidium), has a 4.23 day year. So they could look for a Doppler “wobble” with that period, and they found it, immediately.This is a damned short year. Mercury is the closest planet to our Sun, and its year is 88 days.
In other words, no one expected such a short year, from any sort of planet.
But that wasn’t the biggest surprise. The planet’s mass is 0.46 Jupiter masses; in other words, it’s more massive than Saturn. It’s a gas giant!
OK, now if you remember back two weeks, I described what we expected a “typical” planetary system to look like…based on our own. And the gas giants should be far away from their stars. Not just because that’s what we see here, but because there’s simply no way they could form any closer to a star; it’s simply too hot for the ices, and the hydrogen and helium, to hang around long enough for the rocky core of such a planet to be able to capture them. Out at 5 AU, it is possible–that’s Jupiter’s distance–but at 0.05 AU, where 51 Pegasi b is, no way!
That sound you’re imagining is the sound of bullshit meters pegging in the skulls of every astronomer and astrophysicist in the world.
But here was a discovery, from Switzerland, confirmed by a team in the United States, of something that shouldn’t exist.
Well, OK…maybe the planet formed farther out and somehow migrated inwards? Seems unlikely, but it could happen. Current thinking is that much of the time, planet formation is a very chaotic process and planets, as they form, fling other planets clear out of the planetary system, to wander forever in interstellar space as “rogue” planets. Or planets can be flung into their stars. Or into some close orbit.
But it gets better: Marcy and his team may not have bagged the first planet orbiting a normal star, but they had been gathering spectroscopic data from hundreds of stars for years. When they went back and looked–this time for very short period signals instead of ones with periods of several years–they found a lot of exoplanets like 51 Pegasi b.
Within two months, Marcy’s team was able to announce planets orbiting 47 Ursae Majoris (the Big Bear) and 70 Virginis (Virgo).
47 Ursae Majoris b is at least a bit more normal. The parent star is again, very much like our Sun. The planet orbits in just under 3 years at a distance of 2.1 AU. But it is at least 2.5 times as massive as Jupiter. (Remember that masses found by the Doppler method are minimums; if the orbit is tilted with respect to our line of sight, then some of the velocity of the star induced by the planet is transverse, rather than radial and the Doppler effect is smaller than it “should” be…meaning the planet is more massive than the signal would indicate.)
That’s still a bit close to its star for a gas giant. And yes, as mentioned, it’s a bigger planet than Jupiter. How big can a planet get? Once it gets to be about 10-14 Jupiter masses, it’s considered a “brown dwarf” star since some nuclear fusion of rare isotopes of hydrogen and helium can (and does) occur.
(Today, we know there are two other planets orbiting 47 Ursae Majoris orbiting at 3.6 and 11.6 AUs. That outer planet takes almost 40 years to orbit and has the distinction of being the longest-period planet ever discovered by the radial velocity method.)
70 Virginis is a star a bit more massive than the Sun and might be starting to swell into a red giant phase. It has a planet orbiting it, about 7.5 Jupiter masses…and it’s in a 116 day orbit. Although not as extreme as 51 Pegasi b, it’s too close to be a gas giant. But the bigger surprise is that the orbit’s eccentricity is 0.4!
One of the other things we expected, based on our own Solar System, was that planets would be in almost circular orbits. A circular orbit has an eccentricity of 0.0. 0.4 starts looking distinctly oval shaped.
Red: Eccentricity 0 (a circular orbit) Green: Eccentricity 0.2 Cyan: Eccentricity 0.4 Orange: Eccentricity 0.6 Magenta: Eccentricity 0.8 All orbits have the same semimajor axis (that’s half of the width of the ellipse, measured the long way), so the planets shown have the same period. Note how much the magenta planet speeds up and slows down, though.
(Mercury is the most eccentric planetary orbit in our Solar System, at about 0.2. Which is why it was possible to spot the precession of its aphelion so easily, as figured into Einstein’s discovery of general relativity.)
A large planet in an eccentric orbit will tend to destabilize things in orbits in between its periastron (closest approach) and apoastron (furthest distance) from the star it’s orbiting. So this is yet more evidence of chaos in planetary system formation.
Many of Marcy’s exoplanets turned out to be gas giants orbiting “too close” to their stars…so we’ve given this absurd-seeming class of planets a name: we call them “Hot Jupiters.”
And they don’t seem to make sense. But they were, for a while, by far the most common kind of planet we knew of.
But…and this is an important lesson…that is because they were far and away the easiest to detect! They orbited close to their parent star (which increased the Doppler wobble) and they are massive (which increases the Doppler wobble). Remember, a nice normal planet like Earth would be undetectable by this method! So of course they didn’t find anything like Earth, because they couldn’t.
Kepler Space Telescope (2009-2018)
Fast forward to 2009. The business of looking for exoplanets is now very respectable.
And NASA launched a space telescope named Kepler, after Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), who first identified the laws of planetary orbital motion. There couldn’t be a better choice of name.
This was a very specialized instrument. It did exactly one thing. It hunted for exoplanets.
It simply stared at a patch of sky near the constellation Cygnus (the Swan, it contains the Northern Cross). It continuously stared at 150,000 stars all at once, watching their brightness.
Kepler Field Of View
What was it doing? It was applying the transit method of detecting extrasolar planets.
If you recall, this method relies on the planet crossing between us and the star it’s orbiting. This is a very unlikely configuration (the orbit could be tilted at any angle with respect to the line of sight; it has to be very, very close to crossing directly through our line of sight to see the planet move in front of its star). But if you’re looking at a hundred and fifty thousand stars all at once, you will get some hits. If there are any planets. And remember that if you can detect a planet this way, you won’t just get its mass and its orbital period, you’ll get a good estimate of its physical size…and hence you’ll be able to compute its density. And that tells you whether it’s made of rocks or gas…or ice.
In other words, we could collect a statistically meaningful sample to find out just how common exoplanets really were (many times as common as were detected, because most planets won’t transit as seen from here). The transit method is more sensitive and can detect planets closer to Earth-like if it works at all.
One vital condition of “earthlike” is the size of the planet…but another is its distance from the star it’s orbiting. We want to know if the planet is at a temperature where water can be a liquid on its surface. And that requires that it be in the “Goldilocks zone.” Not too hot, not too cold…but just right. More formally, this is called the star’s habitable zone. This is about 1 AU out for a star the size (and brightness) of our sun. Most stars are smaller and cooler and their habitable zones are closer to the star as a consequence.
The mission ran until 2018, when Kepler ran out of fuel. It was switched off on November 15th, the 388th anniversary of Johannes Kepler’s death.
And Kepler found 2,662 confirmed exoplanets–plus an additional 3600 unconfirmed candidates. Every star that seemed to have planets got a Kepler number, e.g., Kepler 1544, so the exoplanets have imaginative names like Kepler-1544 b.
In many cases multiple planets were detected orbiting a star.
A handful of these planets orbit in the habitable zone and appear to be rocky planets. In fact, Kepler-1544 b is one of them. Its radius is 1.78 times as much as Earth, and the mass is 3.84 times as much as Earth.
There are a number of these “Super Earths,” in fact, many not in their stars’ habitable zones. It’s hard, even with this method, to detect smaller planets. The planet orbits at about .54 AU with a year of 168 days. This is NOT too close to the star, however, because Kepler-1544 is a cooler star than our Sun. In fact most finds seem to have been around stars markedly cooler than the Sun.
Want to see the list? Here you go, knock yourself out.
Here’s another one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-1649 . This star appears to have both a Venus-like planet and an Earth like planet in orbit about it. The star itself is a red dwarf, so the planets orbit at less than 0.1 AU, and their years are 8 and 19 days long, respectively.
Post Kepler
Kepler did a lot of work, but others have been adding to the count.
One system that is famous right now is TRAPPIST-1. It’s 39 light years away in the direction of Aquarius, and is 9% as massive as the Sun–hence much cooler in temperature. In 2016-17, astronomers at the Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope in Chile discovered that there are no less than seven terrestrial (rocky) planets in orbit about this star. Three, or maybe even four, of the planets appear to be in the habitable zone. Orbits range from 0.011 to 0.06 AUs. Remember this is a cool star. In fact, it radiates mostly in the infrared, so even at noon on the planets, it probably wouldn’t seem brighter than at sunset here on Earth, though temperatures would be closer to “normal.”
(Apparently Kepler did look at this star at one point.)
There is also a new satellite, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), launched in 2018. It has already found over four thousand candidate planets, yet to be confirmed.
Using the gravitational lensing method, in 2020 astronomers reported an earth-mass rogue planet (one that is wandering interstellar space). Apparently it crossed in front of some star when someone was looking at that star.
A device called a vortex coronagraph has allowed astronomers to directly image large, distant exoplanets more easily than before. Recall that direct imaging works for such planets (the farther out the better; the closer the star to us, the better); I’ve even seen a time lapse GIF of four planets orbiting a star. The Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar has been very useful for this sort of thing. (Seventy years old and still going strong!)
So, we’re getting better at this. I’ve pointed you to lists and some number counts, but let’s look at a diagram that might clarify things:
The higher up you go on that diagram, the bigger the planet. You can see pictures of Jupiter, Neptune and Earth at the right to give a sense of scale. To the left, planets orbit near their star. Hot Jupiters appear here. To the right, they’re further out and you will see a group labeled “Cold Gas Giants.” Then further down you see large planets that appear as though they may consist largely of water, or ices.
But the overwhelming majority of dots, mostly Kepler detections, are “Rocky planets” like our own, many, many of them much larger than Earth (which is the largest rocky planet in this planetary system). And ones very close to their star are expected to have molten lava surfaces, simply because that close to the star they get very hot.
But in the lower right, is the “Frontier.” If there are planets here, we can’t detect them yet. (And we know of some such planets, for instance Mars.)
The Future
This is very, very much a story in progress. The James Webb Space Telescope is expected to be able to not only see some of these planets, but also detect and analyze their atmospheres.
What we would be really excited to see is planets with water and an oxygen atmosphere.
Water, because that’s the one thing every life form we know of must have. Even oxygen isn’t as universally necessary. (There are bacteria that manage to live in water near boiling, and others that manage to thrive inside nuclear reactors, and of course there are plenty of anaerobic critters out there (like botulism) but nothing we know of can live without water.)
Oxygen, because if we find an oxygen atmosphere it’s almost certainly a sign that life exists on that planet.
If plants stopped photosynthesizing right now, no oxygen would be created. And the oxygen in the air would slowly combine with other things on Earth and be bound up, much like on Mars, which is largely a rusty planet. In other words, an oxygen atmosphere is not stable, because oxygen is so reactive. An oxygen atmosphere can only exist if something continually creates more oxygen. And although there are some other possibilities a strong candidate for creating oxygen would be living things. It would be by far the strongest evidence we have that life exists elsewhere. Though that doesn’t mean “ET” because that life might just be algae–pond scum in other words.
But pond scum is still life, after all no one accuses Joe Biden of being dead, just demented.

Tonight is a special night. We invite ALL SCIENTISTS to come down to the bar for TWO HOURS, and listen to one scientist appeal to our LOGIC and our COMMON SENSE on the TOXIC BATCH PROBLEM.
ALL WHO WISH are invited to sit down, drink in hand, and watch – but it is especially important that ALL SCIENTISTS see this.
It is my contention that if ALL scientists in the world – on this planet – watch this video that I will show you, then the entire WORLD will be QUICKLY AWAKENED to the reality of some kind of systematic problem with the current COVID vaccines – some kind of problem which is evidenced by toxicity showing up with certain batches.
But more about that later.
Right now, come into the bar and find a comfy spot.
While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we continue to ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.
Though we are not especially good at mixing tasty drinks, we can stir some occasional thoughts into a compelling report, argument, recollection, or proposition.
And with that barest promise, we begin.

20This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it.
21I will give You thanks, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation.
22The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
23This is from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Current Art On The Wall
We opened this week’s shipment, and there was a note on top of the contents that said:
“DANGER: STEAMPUNK”
Looks like a real Pandora’s box to me!
Sure enough, the very next thing we found was MONDAY’S LEFTOVERS.
Mmmmmmmmm. Remember – if the can isn’t actually bulging, you can ignore the date!
Click it! The music seems useful for viewing the remainder of the art!
MOAR COWBELL GEARS!!!
Yeah, I’m enjoying this timeframe-loosening absinthe of sorts.
Indeed, absinthe per se seems to be a meme in steampunk.
Look for GREENPUNK as a subgenre of STEAMPUNK.
OK – one more image and then back to reality.
LOL. Nope. That’s not it.
Let’s try another.
AYE-YI-YI. That’s not it, either. I get the sentiment, but I tend to think the devil’s in certain details of the genre, and – as always in the art world – one must proceed with caution.
Although I do have a story about a fantastic dream you may have heard. In some ways, it was the opposite of steampunk, but it had a certain similar quality of alternate reality about it.
Let’s try one more.
Hey – that’s not steampunk! That’s REALPUNK.
I’ll let Steve tell us all about it.
In the meanwhile, we take leave of the infinitude of artistic imagination, and find ourselves back at the concrete.
Or so one might think!
And now our feature presentation
The Anti-Saline Theory and The Toxic Batch Problem – Did Somebody Actually Contaminate Lots of the Vaccines?
I never really thought that I might be defending Big Pharma – in whole or in part – at this point in the multiple scandals of the COVID-19 Plannedemic.
Maybe “defending” isn’t the right word. Maybe “presenting a potentially somewhat exonerating theory” IS the right phrase.
In fact, I don’t even know WHO I’m exonerating, or or that matter, WHO I’m accusing. Likewise, I’m not even sure who the TARGETS of the perpetrators in this “theory” actually are.
However, this is not a “conspiracy theory” – something which is generally certain of perpetrators, victims, and motives.
This is a CRIMINAL THEORY. This is a theory which allows us to begin to examine an apparent crime, in order to determine perpetrators, victims, and motives. It’s a theory which may even be wrong.
I ask all of you to briefly set aside prejudices, which is often necessary to do when evidence needs to be viewed as potential exoneration. Feel free to bring your prejudices and prior theories back AFTER you have looked at these possibilities, because you will need to compare theories, and your current favorites need to CONTEND with what I’m proposing here.
Thus, we begin.
The Saline Theory
The SALINE THEORY – which many regard as a criminal theory, and which others regard as a “conspiracy theory”, contends that the reason some people have either NO REACTION or ALMOST NO REACTION to the “clot shot” – meaning all the standard Western COVID-19 vaccines – is that those people are being given medical saline solution instead of actual coronavirus vaccines.
The proposed motives for this, generally speaking, are either to spare particular individuals from the problems of the vaccines, OR to statistically reduce the numbers of people being KILLED or INJURED by the vaccines to acceptable levels.
Now, in full disclosure, I have been generally, if quietly, rather critical of the saline theory, despite the fact that I am very skeptical of Big Pharma in general, and even more skeptical of Pfizer and Moderna.
Why am I skeptical of the theory? Basically, because it doesn’t really change most vaccines. In a sentence, vaccines are DESIGNED to approximate saline.
In the history of vaccines, the GOAL has always been to literally approach the state of “injecting people with saline” – meaning not much of anything is given, and nothing bad happens.
Thus, an ideal vaccine – and in practice most good vaccines – basically do nothing except grant immunity, which until recently was always expected to be inferior to “natural” disease-conferred immunity.
Let me point out AS AN ASIDE right here that the industry lost megatons of credibility by letting the media trot out nonsense about vaccine immunity being better than disease-conferred immunity, allegedly negating centuries of medical knowledge. Foolish to abandon the truth on that one. Clearly the result of Big Pharma now having the upper hand against Big Med, thanks to Big Finance, and the willingness of Big Media to tell any lie. But I digress.
The point is simple. We EXPECT normal, good vaccines to have very few adverse events – so rare that we rarely hear about them – and that people basically ARE getting saline.
In other words, people generally can’t tell the difference between a good vaccine, a “bad because too weak” vaccine, and saline.
THAT’S THE POINT – that the REALITY of rare adverse events is expected to MATCH our experience of almost never hearing about or experiencing first, second, or third-hand, that somebody had a problem with a vaccine.
I myself went through life NEVER connecting a vaccine to any personal injury – that is, until I got over 30 years of flu shots, religiously, but then switched to my dominant shoulder for no particular reason, and experienced subsequent NOTICEABLE inflammatory issues which were very likely connected to the vaccine. All that being said, I was much older at that point, and older people ARE more likely to experience inflammation of joints as part of getting old. Indeed, this didn’t stop me from getting the flu shot for a number of more years – KNOWING that the vaccine might be responsible.
SO – bottom line – I’m not at all skeptical of vaccine injury, from sore arms up to death.
But I remain skeptical of the saline theory – for the stated reasons.
I never throw anything OUT completely – but I have been quite skeptical that there might be ANY kind of conspiracy – even a very realistic one – to replace weak “do-nothing” vaccines that the industry has spent DECADES making, and is quite good at making, with saline that does almost the same thing.
And INDEED – bear the opposite in mind. Bad things happen to people who get placebos, “because math”. And more than that, bad things happen to people who get saline, “because injection”. It’s extremely rare, but it DOES happen. This is an acknowledged truth of Anthony Fauci’s Holy of Holies, the placebo-controlled double-blind study. That’s why researchers factor out the difference which comes simply from “doing the test”.
But the fact is simple. Saline is generally pretty damn safe to inject, because it does nothing. A good vaccine, likewise, does nothing but provide some degree of immunity – hopefully lifelong, but with a number of years generally being acceptable, depending on the vaccine.
SO – if you tell me somebody got saline – I will tell you that they got a “good vaccine”, and we’re left with only some very difficult science to tell which of us is right.
However, all of that has a problem.
A HUGE problem.
The problem is summed up by the fact that almost everybody in the English-speaking world recognizes the term “clot shot” as a grim, joking nickname for the COVID-19 vaccines.
That didn’t happen by accident. Admittedly, it’s an injection for preventing or pre-treating a clotting disease by generating immunity TO a clotting protein WITH that same clotting protein, or something very similar to it. BUT STILL…..
In practice, this is NOT a harmless vaccine. No amount of propaganda changes that.
The Anti-Saline Theory
So what is the ANTI-SALINE THEORY?
The anti-saline theory, based on something called the toxic batch problem, is roughly a mirror image of the saline theory. It thus contends that some of the coronavirus vaccines were the opposite of non-toxic saline which could NOT harm people, and were, in fact, loaded with something nasty which caused illness and death.
Possible motives are likewise mirror images of the saline theory – to either harm certain people, or to INCREASE the number of injuries and deaths from the vaccines.
NOW – let me be clear. In the absence of the “potential evidence” of the toxic batch problem, I would be every bit as skeptical of the anti-saline theory as I am of the saline theory.
Even for a bad, risky, side-effect-prone vaccine, blaming the still-generally-infrequent side-effects on anything BUT the vaccine itself would seem foolhardy. We have MANY “more risky” vaccines for nasty tropical diseases, from yellow fever up to Ebola, which we generally ONLY give to people at high risk of actually getting the disease, because the vaccines may be a LESSER RISK than the disease, but they are an INCREASED RISK over most vaccines.
We normally don’t need to postulate that the cause of that higher risk is adulteration due to a new cause or perpetrator, when we have the vaccine itself and the vaccine makers, presumably fighting the risk but possibly not succeeding as well as we would like, as our primary suspects.
So how does the toxic batch problem change all that?
The Toxic Batch Problem
First, a reflection. A bit of a warning. Something to prepare you.
At the various stages where one understands pieces of this problem, the revelations really cannot be “unseen”. And yet, the fact that this problem WAS unseen by SO many for SO long, raises questions about whether or not we are just now seeing the edges of something which has been with us for far longer than we realized.
I know that sounds a bit fantastic, as well as euphemistic and even a bit “code”, but now you understand why so many people who have gained deep knowledge of problems with the COVID vaccines, have gone through various emotionally jarring moments of realization.
Something is NOT RIGHT, and yet there seems to be INTENTION behind the condition.
SO – if you get HIT by this sort of realization as we are going along, just know that you are not alone.
OK, back to work. Ah, yes. The toxic batch problem.
I can sum it up as this.
Normally, one expects that a consistently produced pharmaceutical has a VERY wide range of reactions in those to whom it is given, BUT that this statistical range of responses (you can imagine a bar graph, a pie chart, a curve, or a whole bunch of all of them) will stay roughly the same from BATCH TO BATCH.
Stated simply, we expect the variation BETWEEN sets of variations to be SMALL, CLOSE, PREDICTABLE, and REPRODUCIBLE.
This is simply the “law of large numbers”. You flip a thousand pennies. I flip a thousand pennies. It’s very unlikely that we’ll get exactly the same numbers, but BOTH OF US will be close to 500 heads and 500 tails. Any deviation from this will be a nice bell curve, perfectly explainable by statistics.
Try any “batch” of pennies – it will be close to 50:50 heads-to-tails because of the consistency of pennies.
The toxic batch problem is that adverse events for the COVID-19 vaccine batches violate this – and in a HUGE WAY.
A small fraction of the batches (about 5%) are STRIKINGLY TOXIC relative to all the other batches.
The differences are too big, the harmless group is too large, the nasty group is too small, and there are additional patterns that are not random and should not be there.
Yes, there will be variation in the exact numbers of deaths and injuries from batch to batch, “because statistics“, but that variation should be small, natural, centered, and understandable mostly in terms of mathematics. If there IS a big difference in the numbers between the batches, then there has to be some kind of systematic difference – most likely either in the contents of the batches, or in the administration of the batches.
Let’s look at the latter first.
As an example of an administration difference, if you give one batch to kids, and another to seniors, you expect differences. However, if the batches are BIG, and they’re used in a lot of different places, and the groups of people those places serve are large and diverse, then the differences from administration will vanish.
And even if those differences DON’T vanish – in FACT, even if you INTENTIONALLY give one batch to kids and another to seniors, those differences cannot be as big as what was observed.
Another administration difference would be to use some batches ONLY for first injections, and others ONLY for second injections.
Again, we do expect differences there, but not nearly as big as what is observed.
IN FACT, the difference between the “good, nearly harmless batches” (doesn’t that sound like saline?) and the BAD batches is SO big, that it is NOT EXPLAINED by ANYTHING seen in the Moderna and Pfizer trials.
THIS is one of our first clues that something is actually wrong with the contents of those toxic batches.
Now – let’s look at the possibility of a difference in contents.
Could it be that the vaccines are “going bad” and turning into something more poisonous?
Yes, this is possible – BUT the fact of the matter is that when drugs degrade, they almost invariably become “less active”, not MORE active – and certainly never MORE active by orders of magnitude.
Rocks just don’t “roll uphill” by themselves.
In fact, there is a great argument you will see later, made about the COVID-19 vaccine data, as compared to the flu vaccine data, which points out that if you remove all the “bad batches” from the COVID-19 vaccine data, it looks almost exactly like the flu shot.
BASICALLY, SALINE.
Like a normal vaccine is supposed to look.
Now, hopefully, you not only understand why I called this the “anti-saline theory”, but you are also “seeing certain things that you cannot unsee”.
Because YES – something is definitely wrong with those batches.
Even if you don’t accept that the majority of batches are “harmless”, something is terribly wrong with the rest.
But before I get into talking about possible reasons as to WHY these “bad batches” are different, I want to thoroughly convince you that they ARE different and that it’s NOT NORMAL.
I want to give you a brief introduction to the toxic batch problem as seen by the people who found it, examined it, and first told the world.
A Pharma Exec & Researcher Examines the Data
We begin with a video of a man who appears to me to be very typical of the scientists that I knew during my career. He does not appear crazy, loony, mentally ill, psychopathic, or even irrational.
He seems, if anything, like somebody who has witnessed institutional madness descending upon their professional world. You know – like what happened to scientists in Russia in the early 1900s, and in Germany and Italy in the 1930s.
As I listened to this guy, he made scientific sense, just like any seminar speaker, invited lecturer, or even an interviewer for student job prospects from a drug company.
In fact, I believe that if most scientists listened to him, they would BELIEVE HIM.
There is something *apparently* wrong with certain specific batches of the COVID vaccines from three companies that were used globally AND specifically in America. And according to the speaker, a retired drug industry executive and research scientist, this difference cannot be random – it must be adulteration of some kind.
The most key and salient point is that vaccine side effects vary strongly by batch number – and in a way that the drug companies MUST understand to be REAL and PROBLEMATIC. The variation is NOT merely statistical from a quality-controlled product. It is systematic – meaning it has a CAUSE other than randomness. It is not necessarily intentional (IMO), but it is an OBVIOUS problem.
There is also some argument over how batch toxicity varies across time and batch number – I will leave THAT for the next videos.
The point which the speaker, Dr. Yeadon, made which struck me hardest, was the simple but powerful idea that the individual responses of recipients to a vaccine batch can vary wildly, BUT that the statistical array of responses will NOT vary significantly between batches – that it CANNOT vary – UNLESS there is some REAL, SIGNIFICANT, CONTENT DIFFERENCE between the batches.
The alternative, in my opinion, would be that the batch differences are administration-based – e.g., that batches primarily used for SECOND administrations would have much higher adverse events.
I’m not wed to that thought – but it is an alternative that is every bit as troubling as content differences, and negates the entire strategy of “boosterism”. I also tend to doubt it, both because it does not explain the magnitude of the difference, and is also statistically very unlikely. Content differences just seem more likely to me.
The People Who Found The Toxic Batch Problem
NEXT, I want to deepen the explanation of what Dr. Yeadon was describing. Yeadon provides drug industry credibility to the idea that batch differences are real and almost certainly content-based. They don’t look right to somebody with industry experience.
But NOW we need to explore possible explanations for those differences, based on a closer look at the differences themselves.
SO – next, I want to show you some additional videos and web pages that drill down into the “toxic batch problem”.
We’ll start with the “secondary reporting” and then get to the data itself.
In this video, Stu Peters and Dr. Jane Ruby, who I criticize routinely when they edge toward clickbait, are doing an AMAZING job of reporting on a group of investigators who studied the batch differences. This is excellent journalism. These two can only be as good as their material, but WOW – they have quality material here.
Now, follow that up with an even deeper examination of the toxic batches.
Jump to 12:50 to continue the discussion. Jane Ruby ends at about 19:00. At 20:00 (to 32:12) it picks back up again with a member of the investigatory group, Team Enigma, who is a pharmaceutical industry bio-statistician. She adds a different perspective on how SMALL any group poisoning the vaccines might be.
This doesn’t require a grand conspiracy of many people. It might involve only a few dedicated and highly skilled saboteurs.
most batches (roughly 80%) are almost completely harmless
the bad batches produce up to (and in MANY cases) a thousand times more adverse reactions
when viewed geographically in the United States, the bad batches affect every state in America
The latter point proves the generality of the effect – that local differences can’t account for the toxicity of the particular lots. If anything, the high distribution of the batches seems to be used to hide the toxicity.
Next, I want to return you to the PERSONAL REALITY of the toxic batch problem.
A Personal Case of a Bad Batch
It turns out that Dr. Robert Malone got one of the “bad batches” for his second vaccine, and almost died.
Lastly, here is a very nice review of work on the toxic batch problem. Very nicely put together, with lots of graphs and key points as quotes. This is a real CONVINCER.
Some of the videos in the review have been removed for some reason, but not this one.
This video is truly stunning. This video shows apparent patterns in the deployment of batches. While I am not fully in agreement that this is proven to be the work of the companies themselves, I think that there is overwhelming evidence of “bad batches” and some kind of pattern which looks like the results are being studied.
By the time you’ve gotten here, you very likely think that something is definitely wrong with certain batches.
Next, I want to begin thinking about HOW and WHY somebody might want to do such a thing. In the process, I’m going to “lean into” some current events and statements made by varous people.
This is where things get political, geopolitical, military, and more.
How and Why Would Anybody Poison the West’s Major COVID Vaccines?
This is where we begin to say to ourselves:
Did somebody actually poison various lots of these vaccines? WHO would do it? Who COULD do it? WHY? Why would ANYBODY do this? HOW did they pull it off? WHAT possible benefit could they get from it? WHERE did they do it?
I’m going to leave most of these questions TO YOU ALL.
I want YOU to tell ME.
Now, we have a list of “usual suspects”, but things get interesting when you consider additional motives, additional suspects, and additional opportunities.
MEANS, MOTIVE, and OPPORTUNITY are what turn “conspiracy theories” into CRIMINAL THEORIES.
So I’m going to give you some “kick-starters” to get you seeing some possibilities.
The first thing that got me thinking “HMMMMM……” about things, was when Team Enigma began seeing evidence of coordination between the drug companies, in the chronology of the toxic batches.
As somebody who has been involved with real conspiracies, the idea that drug companies coordinated their plotting to poison the vaccines does NOT sound realistic.
Real conspiracies need compartmentalization. They need as few as possible seeing the big picture.
Thus, it is MUCH more likely, IMO, that there is a SINGLE player who is involved with ALL of the vaccines – a SINGLE player – who would be able to pull off a systematic study of poisoning them.
One such player is the CCP.
BOTH the Pfizer vaccine AND the Moderna vaccine are utterly dependent upon components manufactured in CHINA. Indeed, the “lipid nanoparticle technology” of the mRNA vaccines is pretty much delivered by Chinese companies.
That is how Karen Kingston discovered that components of the “clot shot” vaccines were manufactured by a Chinese company called SINOPEG, which ALSO specializes in something called “PEGylated graphene oxide”, which is further known to temperature-stabilize mRNA vaccines.
I’m not necessarily saying that graphene oxide was used here, although it’s worth considering.
SIDEBAR: For background on graphene oxide (sometimes called graphene hydroxide – it’s the same thing, really), go HERE.
SIDEBAR: For background on the work by Karen Kingston, former Pfizer employee, who figured out the Chinese connection on the lipid nanoparticle components, go HERE.
Moderna executives are also deeply associated with these Chinese companies and their controlling organizations – see photo below. Note what this page (discovered by Karen Kingston) means – you have COVID-19 vaccines, graphene lipid nanotech IN those same vaccines, and pictures of Moderna executives mentioned on the same page.
If this is not a smoking gun, it’s a pretty damn good imitation, suitable for blackmail.
Thus, it sure seemed possible to ME, that if the CCP or PLA wanted to “intervene” in the vaccines, they have MEANS and OPPORTUNITY.
What about MOTIVE?
Well, Deplorable Patriot found something that got me thinking.
So – according to this theory, the US is being blackmailed by the Chinese government.
As soon as I saw this, I realized exactly HOW the ChiComs could have war-gamed this whole thing for some grand-master play.
CCP/PLA + Cabal makes Western pharma weak and dependent upon ChiCom manufacturing
CCP/PLA has total control of Chinese companies and products they ship
CCP/PLA has total control of information within Chinese borders (remember their “rules” which made many SMART companies LEAVE CHINA)
CCP/PLA begins manipulating people to make them RUN FROM TRUTH and into CHINESE CONTROL
To me, this makes CHINA a no-brainer suspect. It doesn’t matter WHO is POTUS – Biden or Trump – if the vaccines have problems in the West, CHINA wins.
China gets power over the American POTUS
China gets power over the American Deep State
China gets power over the global pharmaceutical industry
Basically, it’s a form of entrapment.
And remember – if China gets caught and wants to blamecast, they can say “it wasn’t us – it was this rogue company cheating” – and nobody can prove otherwise on anything within Chinese borders.
NOW – there could be other players. China is not the only player who would benefit by making the West stumble here.
WEF, for instance, strikes me as “guilty as sin”. If the vaccines were really safe, they could not stir up as much division as we’re seeing. To me, KlauSS SSchwab and the WEFFEN SS have to be a suspect.
Depopulationists are also an easy target.
Satanists as well. This is their thing.
“FOREIGN” could also be doing things independently of their pet globalists and depopulationists.
Russia, unfortunately, is also an easy suspect, thanks to their stupid antics with Skripal and other spies. If the Russians wanted to keep America WEAK, causing a mess with the vaccines to keep Americans divided would be one way to do it. However, I tend to think that they don’t have as much MEANS and OPPORTUNITY as China. But to be fair, we have to keep Russia on the list.
Similarly Ukraine – to which Democrat operative Alexandra Chalupa seems to have some kind of weird supreme loyalty – because it doesn’t have a perfectly clean history on poisonings, either.

And, of course, there is our own DEEP STATE, still led in truth by Barack Obama.
Obama seems really committed to a kind of Stalinist, utilitarian, “death panel” health agenda, where health-care shuffles off people to their graves to save money.
Obama’s famous academic and New York Times-featured “moral advisors” on healthcare have always been, and remain in my opinion, a litany of granny-snuffers. SO – if Obama’s “worst of the worst of the KGB faction in CIA” wanted to begin testing depopper stuff on us – well – they could be up to tricks.
But none of them has as much MMO as China.
All in all, CHINA looks like my main suspect.
They poisoned our dog treats forever, making it look like greedy little companies was the extent of the problem.
We just put up with it.
Maybe they got ideas from that.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, SUSPICIOUS CAT?
So who is your main suspect?
Or do you have a different explanation of the toxicity of the shots – and especially something that explains the weirdly binary toxicity / non-toxicity of the batches?
As a side note, we have laws, regulations, Executive Orders, all open to the public PLUS classified Presidential Policy Directives. This means we would not know exactly what President Trump actually did in preparation for the Election Steal.
I do not want to scare everyone so I am going to start by discussing The Devolution Seriesby Patel Patriot first. Please at least skim this series.
I like to connect dots and I see a few that Patel Patriot missed so I am going to point them out.
Vice Minister Dong Jingwei of the Ministry of State Security (MSS) defected from China to the United States on Feb 10th, of 2021. Dong was previously the chief of counterintelligence for the MSS….
Patel Patriot
The rest of the information is about how Biden’s admin was COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THIS DEFECTOR…. HMMmmmm
Patel Patriot goes on to say:
DIA leadership (Trump appointed Lt. Gen Berrier) believes there are “Chinese spies or sources inside the FBI, CIA, and several other federal agencies.” He has proof. The defector brought “terabytes” of data with him. Included in that data is the “names of Chinese Spies working in the US” and “Names of US Citizens who provide intel to China” as well as Hunter “(and Joe’s) business dealings with Chinese entities.”
….The implications here are MASSIVE.
The DIA (the principal source of intelligence for COMBAT RELATED MISSIONS) kept the defector a secret because the President [Biden] was implicated by the information the defector provided.
Patel Patriot
HOWEVER the last time Dong was seen in public was September 2020 just before the US elections…
Another clue that Patel Patriot missed, is WHY would Dong escape only to run to a country RUN BY A CHINESE PUPPET? You would have to have a death wish to do that. However if you had the Chinese playbook on HOW China was going to steal the 2020 election and install their puppet, you just might risk running BEFORE the 2020 elections.
In Devolution – Part 12 – “Playbook” Patel Patriot drops a second bit of interesting information. If you read nothing else, READ PART 12. It explains the ‘BLACKMAIL’ used to oust President Trump and keep him from fighting back. (See also Devolution – Part 6 —Antifa & the Capitol Riot for the other bit of blackmail.)
..As we go further, you’ll see exactly what is meant by “state destabilization,” but the biggest take away here is knowing all Color Revolutions closely follow the same template. We will be closely examining that template shortly…
Patel Patriot
…before we get too far, we need to reflect on something from that last screenshot.
…the very same regime change professionals who run Color Revolutions on behalf of the US Government in order to undermine or overthrow alleged ‘authoritarian’ governments overseas, are running the very same playbook to overturn Trump’s 2016 victory and to pre-empt a repeat in 2020.
Patel Patriot
PURPLE REVOLUTION anyone?
….Just the TIP One of the more interesting and sinister developments that took place in 2020 was creation of the Transition Integrity Project (TIP). On August 3rd of 2020, the Transition Integrity Project released a report titled “Preventing a Disrupted Presidential Election and Transition.”
Patel Patriot
This group WAR GAMED various outcomes of the 2020 election and what their response would be.
What they do not mention, but is implied in the statement “…to Spur all Stakeholders to Action…” means continuous violent rioting by BLM & ANTIFA if Trump took and held office in 2021 — THINK Ukraine.
Remember that the lead up to the 2020 election was BLM & ANTIFA riots? (Where are they now?)
Remember DEFUND THE POLICE! implemented in many US cities?
Remember DemonRat Prosecutors and their revolving door for violent protesters?
What these bastards were going to do is escalate those riots into full scale Civil War in every democrat run city to bait President Trump into putting the riots down and then getting the Fake News to claim he was another ‘Hitler’ giving Congress a pretext to impeach him if the first four methods did not work. Aka “Overthrow alleged ‘authoritarian’ regime of Donald Trump.
However the most interesting sentence is this:
Participants got to choose whether their involvement would be publicly disclosed or not so we don’t have a full list…
Patel Patriot
Add that to the information from Vice Minister Dong Jingwei and it seems certain that President Trump DID have the connections between the Transition Integrity Project and China. We also know that Mike Pompeo warned certain state governors about their cozy ties with China.
Devolution is based on the WAR TIME authority of a President. Thanks to the precedence set by President Lincoln, a declaration of war by Congress is NOT NECESSARY if the USA is attacked. Patel Patriot goes into this in depth HERE.
The court ruling in the case of Lincoln:
While President Trump would not make an open declaration of War against China, he could and would take the necessary steps to defend the USA. On top of that Congress Declared War on Sept. 14, 2001 and it has been ongoing ever since.
That brings us to a very important bit of information:
The key phrase that Patel Patriot does not point out is:
Devolution is the capability to transfer statutory authority and responsibility from the organizations primary operating staff and facilities to OTHER DESIGNATED STAFF AND ALTERNATE LOCATIONS…
Patel Patriot
You want to get rid of the Deep State and the Corruptocrats? You set up a parallel government with OTHER PERSONNEL.
To put their plan in place they have to ‘BREAK’ the American people by destroying our freedoms, our will and our economy. If you look at what Biden is doing from the point of view of crashing the US economy it makes sense. Bring in millions of third worlders looking for a handout. INSISTING workers and school kids take the Clot Shot, destroy our import/export of goods and lastly, disrupting our food supply chain.
Sundance has been warning that food shortages are coming so we have been discussing preparation. There is one major fly in the ointment – Anti-Hoarding E.O.s and laws.
“According to an online Yahoo program, the Global Position System coordinates for the White House, probably one of the best-known publicly owned buildings in the world, are 38.898590 Latitude and -77.035971 Longitude. And since you know that, it’s no big deal for the White House to know the coordinates for your front door, is it?
Some people think it is, and are upset over an army of some 140,000 workers hired in part with a $700 million taxpayer-funded contract to collect GPS readings for every front door in the nation.
The data collection, presented as preparation for the 2010 Census, is pinpointing with computer accuracy the locations and has raised considerable concern from privacy advocates who have questioned why the information is needed. The privacy advocates also are more than a little worried over what could be done with that information.
Enhancing the concerns is the Obama administration’s recent decision to put White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel in an oversight role over the census, which will be used to determine a reapportionment of congressional seats and could be used to solidify a single political party’s control over the nation, its budget, military and future…
Real Texas Cowgirl
HOW would they know who is hoarding?
Well there are your credit card records and those handy ‘Rewards Cards’ that let you buy featured produces at a discounted price. Many grocery stores have them.
That they are doing this type of snooping is established.
What you buy at the grocery store, where you live, and even your membership status at the local gym are all subject to a new data collection scheme by the American medical system. Reports indicate that hospitals and doctors’ offices all across the country are now collecting this and other personal information in order to target individuals deemed to have “unhealthy” lifestyle habits that put them at high risk of disease.
Bloomberg reports that hospital systems in both North and South Carolina as well as Pennsylvania have already begun tracking people’s food-purchasing habits by spying on them through public records and credit card transactions. Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS), which operates some 900 care centers throughout the Carolinas, has teamed up with a data-mining company to compile and track this information for the later purpose of calling “high-risk” folks and urging them to make a change.
“What we are looking to find are people before they end up in trouble,” stated Michael Dulin, chief clinical officer for analytics and outcomes at CHS, to Bloomberg. “The idea is to use big data and predictive models to think about population health and drill down to the individual levels to find someone running into trouble that we can reach out to and try to help out.”.
Jonathan Benson of Natural News August 10, 2014
I copied this comment back around 2008 during the ‘Farm Wars’ It may have been from a Yahoo group or from NoNais, I am not sure but it is a very telling comment.
I have been involved in a discussion about a USDA employee who visited an individual’s home in the Pacific NW and began asking a lot of questions about the person’s food storage practices & their raising of small livestock (chickens).…
I agree completely with the “do it quietly” mind set…. But in this case the Dept. of Ag was visiting all the homes in a neigborhood.
“A person from the US Dept of Agriculture came to my door and asked me a bunch of questions which boiled down to whether or not I store food. My daughter has ONE pet chicken, and this woman was looking at the chicken and asking if I have any others, etc. Do I garden? Any other animals? Also, she had a list in her hand of all my neighbors, and was planning to see all of them, too.”
Actually, I did see a congresscritter once who stated that the government really needed to either stop or put some guidelines out about people raising their own food. He said that most people did not know how to do it safely.
Gardening is the same way. Technically it is illegal….I couldn’t find the garden thing specifically. This was something a professor pointed out to me, though I did find it odd as well. It was somehow tied into “affecting interstate commerce” This clause however, seems to provide a loophole for anything the govt wishes to do.
Unknown
“…Gardening is the same way. Technically it is illegal….” And she is correct.
…. Lori Robertson of FactCheck.org, who is not a lawyer (she has a B.A. in advertising), claims the bill doesn’t apply to “that tomato plant in your backyard.”
As a lawyer, I am skeptical of this claim (I co-represented the prevailing defendant in the last successful constitutional challenge to federal regulation under the interstate commerce clause, United States v. Morrison (2000), one of only two cases in 70 years in which a challenge was successful). Congress’s power under the Constitution’s Commerce Clause is almost unlimited in the eyes of the courts, and thus can reach the “tomato plant in your backyard.”
…..Ignorance about the law’s broad reach (and how it will be construed by the courts) has thwarted opposition to the bill, which will likely pass Congress. For example, a newspaper claims the bill “doesn’t regulate home gardens.” The newspaper probably assumed that was true because the bill, like most federal laws, only purports to reach activities that affect “interstate commerce.” To an uninformed layperson or journalist, that “sounds as if it might not reach local and mom-and-pop operators at all.” (The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, has sought to forestall opposition to her bill by falsely claiming that that “the Constitution’s commerce clause prevents the federal government from regulating commerce that doesn’t cross state lines.”)
But lawyers familiar with our capricious legal system know better. The Supreme Court ruled in Wickard v. Filburn (1942) that even home gardens (in that case, a farmer’s growing wheat for his own consumption) are subject to federal laws that regulate interstate commerce. Economists and scholars have criticized this decision, but it continues to be cited and followed in Supreme Court rulings, such as those applying federal anti-drug laws to consumption of even home-grown medical marijuana. Indeed, many court decisions allow Congress to define as “interstate commerce” even non-commercial conduct that doesn’t cross state lines — something directly at odds with Rep. DeLauro’s claims.
The short answer is YES, in a roundabout way. Due to numerous discussions questioning the existence of federal anti-hoarding legislation, I wanted to see if such Executive Orders had been written….
Holly Deyo: hollyd@standeyo.com
And then she provides a list of E.O.s now superseded by Obama’s Executive Order 13603
Sec. 201. Priorities and Allocations Authorities. (a) The authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2071, to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense, is delegated to the following agency heads:
(1) the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer;
(2) the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;
(3) the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;
(4) the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation; (5) the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and
(6) the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.
SUBCHAPTER I—PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONS Section 4512.
§4512. Hoarding of designated scarce materials
In order to prevent hoarding, no person shall accumulate
(1) in excess of the reasonable demands of business, personal, or home consumption, or
(2) for the purpose of resale at prices in excess of prevailing market prices,
materials which have been designated by the President as scarce materials or materials the supply of which would be threatened by such accumulation. The President shall order published in the Federal Register, and in such other manner as he may deem appropriate, every designation of materials the accumulation of which is unlawful and any withdrawal of such designation. In making such designations the President may prescribe such conditions with respect to the accumulation of materials in excess of the reasonable demands of business, personal, or home consumption as he deems necessary to carry out the objectives of this chapter. This section shall not be construed to limit the authority contained in .
FEMA’s job is the orderly distribution of supplies. The above 1950 law confiscates and the 1988 law (below) distributes.
FEMA:
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, PL 100-707, signed into law November 23, 1988; amended the Disaster Relief Act of 1974, PL 93-288. This Act constitutes the statutory authority for most Federal disaster response activities especially as they pertain to FEMA and FEMA programs.
(a) Emergency Mass Feeding – The President is authorized and directed to assure that adequate stocks of food will be ready and conveniently available for emergency mass feeding or distribution in any area of the United States which suffers a major disaster or emergency.
(b) Funds for Purchase of Food Commodities – The Secretary of Agriculture shall utilize funds appropriated under section 612c of title 7, to purchase food commodities necessary to provide adequate supplies for use in any area of the United States in the event of a major disaster or emergency in such area.
Stafford Act from FEMA website
However she is correct about state laws and gives a list of titles to look under.
THE GRAIN CRISIS
Of course you need an EXCUSE before you can start confiscation of Food, Cars Tractors, Equipment and Farmland So Mr Global set up the situation over the decades since WWII.
In 2008, the financial traders (and banks) saw food as the next big moneymaker. They also set up the USA for starvation down the road.
How Goldman gambled on starvation Speculators set up a casino where the chips were the stomachs of millions. What does it say about our system that we can so casually inflict so much pain?
The agricultural sector was one of the areas we found most attractive in 2007. We expect that will remain the case. Long term global price and demand trends remain positive…
In summary, we have record low grain inventories globally as we move into a new crop year. We have demand growing strongly. Which means that going forward even small crop failures are going to drive grain prices to record levels. As an investor, we continue to find these long term trends…very attractive.
A series of reports in the international media have drawn attention to the role of professional speculators and hedge funds in driving up the price of basic commodities—in particular, foodstuffs. The sharp increase in food prices in recent months has led to protests and riots in a number of countries across the globe.
Stefan Steinberg
However the KEY for the USA IN 2022 was the destruction of US grain reserves and grain elevators.
September 21, 2012|– To blunt the ravages of drought and market greed, we need a national grain reserve….our country cannot even threaten to bolster the national supply because the United States does not possess a national grain reserve. Such was not always the case….
Recently there have been increased calls for the development of a U.S. or international grain reserve to provide priority access to food supplies for Humanitarian needs. The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) and the North American Export Grain Association (NAEGA) strongly advise against this concept..Stock reserves have a documented depressing effect on prices… and resulted in less aggressive market bidding for the grains.…
Kendell Keith, President National Grain and Feed Association Gary C. Martin, President and CEO North American Export Grain Association
So over a decade ago US food reserves were ABOLISHED but that was not enough. MORE ACTION WAS NEEDED. Ice Age Farmer in this 13 minute video goes over the last moves designed to lead to major food shortages.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
Get your rest, Trumpy Bear! You’re going back to the White House!!!
I think this statement is one of the best political speeches ever! Thank you, Trumpismine, for alerting us to this gem!
Please Stand By For A Brief Interruption…..
*SNUCK – A Special Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day
Is it “snuck” or is it “sneaked”? DA WOOF was raised on “snuck”, more than likely because of his young hillbilly associates.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary has a wonderful discussion of this point.
The original past tense of sneak was sneaked, following the pattern of other regular verbs. However, in the 19th century snuck started appearing, and is now the more common version for the past tense of “sneak.” Most irregular verbs become regular over time, but sneak has become irregular, and no other word like sneak (peek, creak, etc.) follows a similar pattern.
We shall return to our roots and use “snuck” as often as possible, but “sneaked” where it sounds better, like “sneaked a peek”.
We now return you to our regular programming.
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, NO PROBLEM.
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.
I want to make TWO POINTS today.
POINT 1 – No Political Correctness (of Any Kind)
We shall endeavor to keep all forms of political correctness OUT of this place.
Even a hypothetical MAGA PC.
The idea that some things cannot be said “because MAGA” or “because Trump” is a non-starter. Don’t even.
THAT is a path back to BUSHISM and RINOism.
The utter banishment of PC is how we make sure that ALL “non-establishment voices” can be heard.
Political correctness always starts off with “we’re just asking you to be nice”, or, “we all believe this, don’t we?”, but it always ends up in censorship, because that is where it was ALWAYS HEADED.
You can use LOGIC, REASON, RELIGION, SCIENCE, and any other form of honest quarrel, even as simple as saying “I don’t like that”, but NOT political correctness.
PC is the most insidious infringement of free speech to ever exist.
And PC is not just a leftist thing.
A classic example from history is “You can’t criticize a sitting President during wartime.”
Where in the hell did THAT come from?
I would think that wartime is THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME for there to be criticism – even from people I absolutely can’t STAND (and I did like the Dixie Chicks, even when they were stupid as hell!)
Nope.
No idea, discussed honestly, truthfully, and with the agreed level of civility, is “beyond the pale”.
This site does not exist to protect certain ideas from examination. It exists to shine light into EVERY nook and cranny.
Thus, please don’t demand that certain topics or ideas be “off limits”, or declare that they are justifying of incivility.
Point 2 – Ignoring Those Who Disagree In Automatic Ways
People who disagree with your comments are simply part of this place, because of FREE SPEECH. You just have to put up with it. All viewpoints are subject to being countered in a civil fashion.
“Civil” does not necessarily mean that you will not be annoyed or frustrated by the reply or replies.
Feel free to offer to “agree to disagree”.
Now there are some people who don’t want to “agree to disagree”. They feel a kind of necessity to speak their mind – to state ALL disagreements, and to continue ad infinitum. Often this is religious, where the person believes that failure to disagree is a dereliction of moral responsibility.
This can get frustrating, if you feel that you HAVE TO RESPOND.
Because you DON’T HAVE TO RESPOND.
The best medicine for ad infinitum disagreements, even in moral duty, is to IGNORE THE REPLY. And I mean don’t respond in ANY way.
Do not demand that the other person “henceforth ignore what you say”, because that’s not part of free speech. YOU ignoring THEM is.
Trust me – when people see that you are not responding to somebody who “gets in the last word no matter what”, they are NOT thinking thatthis person “won the argument”. They think you have better things to do. AND YOU DO.
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 enemies, even Pantifa, who need a good prison ministry.

OK – let’s see who else we can hook up Elvis with…..
OK. Maybe a good transition.
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.
Yup. MASS, GRAVITY, TIME and CONSEQUENCES THEREOF are most definitely a thing.
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.
The Ethical Skeptic’s Elevator Pitch
You will recall LAST FRIDAY’S POST in which one of the topics was entitled:
This segment of the daily open covered a wonderful post (more like a “blog paper”) by The Ethical Skeptic, in which it is postulated (and to my satisfaction, demonstrated) that the Omicron variant is of a separate lineage from the Wuhan release and descendants thereof.
I had commented on The Ethical Skeptic’s post, that if he formulated an “elevator pitch” for his paper, I would trumpet it to the world.
WELL, HE DID!
Here is his “elevator pitch”, as well as the context.
WOO-HOO!!!
I got an “elevator pitch” from The Ethical Skeptic!!!
“When one examines the complete 144-slot genetic profile of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, it becomes clear that its lineage is a full two years older than even the first Covid virus in Wuhan, China. Not only did this ancestor of Omicron cause an outbreak across the world in 2018 and 2019, that was mistaken as an 8-fold higher rate of flu across the Asia-Pacific-Africa for those years, but its genetics reveal a robust history of lab mouse serial passes and lab-edited alleles. This proving that its 2018 release as a less-deadly immunity-builder prophylactic virus, and the subsequent release of the more-deadly Wuhan variant two years later, both originated from a weapons-grade bio-lab in China.
China set up a red herring for the world to ‘discover’ at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and its local seafood wet market, suggesting an unfortunate but understandable accident was being thinly concealed. Now, the problem for China is, that unlike all the other variants, Omicron stuck around for some reason, and is now spilling the beans on the whole sordid affair.”
TES 🙂
Now, let me repeat that in five pieces, with commentary in between.
But first, let me remind you, that this elevator pitch is NOT an abstract or a summary of the blog post. It is a small “explainer and convincer” that gives you the GIST of the proposition – enough to make you GET IT.
If you have just a few seconds to convince somebody that something needs attention, you need an “elevator pitch” – as in “I got on the elevator with the head of research, and finished my proposal right as she got off on her floor.”
Here we go!
When one examines the complete 144-slot genetic profile of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, it becomes clear that its lineage is a full two years older than even the first Covid virus in Wuhan, China.
In my opinion, it has been clear that EVERYBODY is surprised by the genetic divergence of Omicron from the original Wuhan strain, as well as all the other descendants thereof. How in the HECK did that happen?
Well, it gets worse. It turns out that Omicron or its close ancestors have been around since about the time we first started looking at SARS-CoV-2.
It is NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE that this virus is a product of mutation of Wuhan.
Something stinks.
Well, what TES has done, is to look closely at the genetics, and come up with a VERY plausible explanation of them, which ALSO explains many other interesting facts – particularly in the 2018-2019 timeframe.
Not only did this ancestor of Omicron cause an outbreak across the world in 2018 and 2019, that was mistaken as an 8-fold higher rate of flu across the Asia-Pacific-Africa for those years, but its genetics reveal a robust history of lab mouse serial passes and lab-edited alleles.
This matches up with many facts from 2018 and 2019, as well as my belief that China was actively engaged in some kind of shenanigans with the SARS outbreak of 2003.
China, in my opinion, has not only been LEARNING from secret and public accidental viral releases – it has been engineering many intentional releases for DECADES.
I think now is a good time to accept the following.
NOTHING that the CCP says should be believed or disbelieved. What they say is irrelevant, except as evidence of possible deception, criminality, and lies.Treat CCP or proxy statements as evidence from criminals – nothing more.
Here is a perfect example of Chinese scientific disinformation and Sun Tzu subterfuge.
LEARN from the ChiComs.
Chinese scientists (who may or may not believe what they are saying, because of omnipresent CCP infiltration, influence, control, and monitoring of all Chinese scientists) submitted – almost exactly 1 month after TES posted his work – a paper that is essentially COVER-UP of the evidence of mouse genetics in the lineage of Omicron which was revealed by TES.
The first link explains the paper in layman’s terms. The second link is to the paper itself.
What’s really SMART about this ChiCom “fix” is that they’re using Didier Raoult’s work concerning minks as a pretext here. This is a VERY typical Chinese science-spy suck-up technique.
Had I not worked with a bunch of Chinese and Russian spies for decades, being completely on guard for their bullshit, and yet having fallen for it a few times in spite of that experience and suspicion, I would not appreciate just how EXTREMELY GOOD they are at doing this stuff.
They will WEAR YOU DOWN WITH THE SUGAR and then SLIDE THE KNIFE IN when you can’t possibly see it.
And I ain’t sayin’ CIA CHICKS are bad, either, if you know what I mean.
What can I say? This is just like the horrible Zhang paper “proving” masks “work”, which was then used by American Democrat politicians to justify their mask policies used in their electoral coup of Trump.
Science is no longer free of OMNIPRESENT DECEPTION. Treat it accordingly.
I simply cannot emphasize this enough.
The CCP has no respect for “global” science. NONE. They use it – abuse it – and destroy it – all in the name of holding power. All those who trust the CCP, or the people it manipulates and influences – including many American governmental and organizational leaders – are going to get BURNED.
Likewise, if you automatically treat the science that CCP touches as “real”, be prepared to stumble.
This proving that its 2018 release as a less-deadly immunity-builder prophylactic virus, and the subsequent release of the more-deadly Wuhan variant two years later, both originated from a weapons-grade bio-lab in China.
The beauty of this explanation is not only that it explains the genetics, but that it explains many facts which we observed. TES has a good run-down, but in general, the “pre-COVID almost-COVID bugs” that people observed WERE IN FACT SOMETHING.
I think the real question is how much HELP China got on “our side”.
This is straight out of modern Chinese warfare – to strike an enemy in such a way that the enemy does not even understand THAT they have been struck. By using a prior release as a vaccine, the Chinese avoided all blame for a second release on their own soil.
This is brilliant warfare.
This fully comports with a tactic that the ChiComs absolutely love – which is to publicly “anticipate” a warfare capability that they ALREADY OWN AND USE IN BATTLE.
You will notice that by later in 2021, a few of those infamous “Chinese colonels” began to engage in a kind of “wolf warrior braggadocio” over the idea that China had won a great biological warfare victory over the West, by virtue of their superior “response” to COVID-19, and thus that biological warfare needed to be a key part of *FUTURE* Chinese war-fighting strategy.
Do NOT be fooled by this.
What this means is that China is already using biological warfare – and has been for some time. When Chinese colonels do this stuff, it is a psychological operation.
China set up a red herring for the world to ‘discover’ at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and its local seafood wet market, suggesting an unfortunate but understandable accident was being thinly concealed.
Again, the TES proposition explains so much about the multi-layer Chinese release cover-up, and all the subsequent, pre-calculated, pre-arranged back-pedaling.
First, there was bat soup.
Then there was no bat soup, but plenty of blame of racism. Clearly the work of the racist but infinitely self-hoaxing CCP.
Then I think it went to pangolins, and that was where I just started rolling my eyes. Smart people started believing blood samples (H/T Linda).
The Red Cross said it was definitely in America in December 2019.
Until somebody else proved October 2019.
And then the Italians proved it was prevalent in Europe in September 2019.
Again, the TES theory is perfect, explaining how the earlier “protective” viruses did a “long march” across Asia, thereby protecting China in a “mid-term practice run” of sorts – working out all the bugs, so to speak.
It just fits too well. Sorry, China.
AND – of course – this explains why the CIA and Twitter and the cut-out group “DRASTIC” created a double-down on a lab escape, conveniently proffered by a media that pilloried Trump for the same ideas, but realized that their “concession” would get Trump’s supporters to buy into a late release accident, to prevent them from seizing upon the highly explanatory idea of a two-stage release operation.
REALLY. They’re so easy to understand now.
Now, the problem for China is, that unlike all the other variants, Omicron stuck around for some reason, and is now spilling the beans on the whole sordid affair.
So – I have to ask – what is “some reason”?
Auberginebelieves that the Omicron mildness is by White Hat design, and I almost have to agree.
Or perhaps there’s a bit of “AND” logic here.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the American military identified Omicron precursors in old blood samples, realized the actual viral timelines, realized that Omicron was a “remnant” of the Chinese pre-Wuhan “vaccine strain”, and essentially RE-DEPLOYED THE CHINESE VACCINE STRAIN as Omicron, in some fashion, at some time?
What this means is that instead of finding and using a racially selective bioweapon, which will inevitably be achieved and used by these racist CCP goons, but is still *possibly* a bit out of reach, the ChiComs worked with what they had on hand – a chronologically and geographically and immunologically selective BINARY bioweapon.
And yet – well – it’s blowing back a bit now. In more ways than one.
Interesting times just got more interesting.
Corbevax – The “Good” Vaccine That Sneaked Past The Criminals
I’ve already been pimping this crap online and IRL, and I have offered some opinions already, but now I’m ready to give you all a real run-down on it.
Here is my latest “pimp job” on The Gateway Pundit, on an article about some poor Israeli teenage girl who got killed by ONE INJECTION of the “clot shot”…..
WOLFM00N 2m
Any pro-vax out there who are even thinking of vaccinating your kids – WAIT FOR CORBEVAX.
no mRNA or cDNA
no full spike protein
no nanolipid technology
no Pfizer, Moderna, Wuhan or China involved
non-profit, developed by Texas vaccine expert Dr. Peter Hotez
professor of pediatrics at Baylor (yes – a pediatrician)
patent-free – anybody can make it
made in India (right now) – very cheap
Google “corbevax hotez” and get more information. This is an RBD subunit protein antigen vaccine – meaning it works around almost every WRONG THING that was done on purpose in the current vaccines in order to PUSH technology. This is an old-school vaccine.
If you’re hesitant, wait for a few months of results. The Phase III trial was good (zero serious side effects), but we all know better – a million doses have to go out before you really know how safe these things are.
IMO, the only safer vaccine would be this exact same type by nasal delivery.
SO – TMI – information overload for sure.
What did I say? Some safer vaccine?
YES – let’s start from the beginning now.
First, a hat tip to TheseTruths for a link to some OANN coverage of this new vaccine.
OAN Newsroom UPDATED 10:26 AM PT – Wednesday, January 5, 2022
Texas scientists rolled out a new COVID-19 vaccine, saying it’s patent-free and can be produced by any manufacturer in any country. The vaccine, called Corbevax, was developed by the Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine.
It has successfully passed human trials as safe and effective. The new treatment is based off protein-based technology that has been used in other vaccines for decades and it does not use MRNA.
India has already authorized production of 100 million doses per month of the new vaccine. Meanwhile, Texas scientists say not-for-profit vaccines will help defeat COVID-19 quicker.
“We, about 10 years ago, started making coronavirus vaccines and the irony is that all of our processes are used with that in mind,” explained Professor Peter Hotez, M.D. Baylor College of Medicine. “We build in low cost processes from the beginning because our health economist that we’ve collaborated with have always said if you don’t make it for under a few dollars a dose, you might as well not make it at all. So that’s all we know how to do, is make low cost vaccines.”
The irony here is rich. You can already tell by the price – this is the UBUNTU (Linux) of coronavirus vaccines. And yet, it has somehow managed to get the blessings of organizations owned by BILL GATES.
Yes, Hotez had to let Pfizer and Moderna go first, but I still find it amazing that Hotez got this vaccine past the wicked Bill Gates during his own lifetime.
Almost makes me wonder if Hotez got some help from his anti-vaxx enemies, putting pressure on the various CLOT SHOTS.
Hmmmmmm……
Yes, Professor Hotez actually DESPISES Sharyl Attkisson over the autism issue, and used to savage her on Twitter. Not sure if he’s blocked her, but I would not be surprised.
AND YET – well – just listen to him.
You heard him. The only leftist buzzword that Hotez left out was “sustainability”. It’s very clear that he knows how to do the university PC bullshit walk, and yet – this guy may end up saving millions of “Deplorable” lives, with a “plain Jane” vaccine that could actually have BENEFITS exceeding RISKS.
Let’s look at more coverage.
Here is a fluff piece written by HOTEZ HIMSELF and his colleague, Maria Elena Bottazzi, in good old super-wokester SCI-AM.
Maria Elena Bottazzi is co-director of the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development. She is also a professor of pediatrics and molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine and associate dean of its National School of Tropical Medicine.
I must STRONGLY recommend reading the ENTIRE ARTICLE, which is short and easy to understand.
It is absolutely DRIPPING with VAXZI NARRATIVE and PC BUZZWORDS – and yet one gets the sense that the entire project is planned, positioned, and poised to BRING DOWN THE CLOT SHOTS. Or perhaps just to race right past them, as they self-destruct.
FTA (buzzwords and key points emphasized BY ME):
Two years into the pandemic, CORBEVAX is the first COVID vaccine designed specifically for global health. It is a milestone for global vaccine equity, something we believe will overcome vaccine hesitancy, and serves as a blueprint for how to develop a potent vaccine for pandemic use in the absence of substantial public funding.
The vaccine prototype was first developed by scientists at Texas Children’s CVD and Baylor before it was licensed, with no patents or strings attached, to Biological E. Limited (BioE).
The central government of India has already ordered 300 million doses. And BioE, the company manufacturing the vaccine, plans to produce 100 million or more doses per month starting in February. Approximately 150 million doses have already been produced and are ready to roll out. In addition to what the company is supplying to India, BioE plans to deliver more than one billion additional doses to other countries.
What this means is that CORBEVAX will soon vaccinate more people than vaccine doses donated so far by the U.S. government or any other G7 country.
This new COVID vaccine has several distinct features that make it particularly suitable for use in resource-poor settings: it is safe, effective and can be locally produced at very high quantities. CORBEVAX is easy to store and inexpensive. We hope it will be used in low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, where vaccine availability has generally been abysmal.
CORBEVAX is made using technology that has been employed worldwide for decades, meaning that manufacturing processes are generally already well-known and won’t require a steep learning curve like the one needed for the scale-up of new technologies such as mRNA, adenovirus and protein particle vaccines.
CORBEVAX is made through microbial fermentation in yeast, similar to the process used to produce the recombinant hepatitis B vaccine that many resource-poor countries make and employ. This will allow for local manufacturing of COVID vaccines similar to CORBEVAX. Texas Children’s CVD and Baylor have already licensed the COVID vaccine technology to companies in Indonesia and Bangladesh and have licensed it for production in African countries such as Botswana. Such vaccine technology and licensing agreements, together with co-development partners, represent the ideal example of how COVID vaccines can and should be produced locally and widely in countries in the Global South.
Like the recombinant hepatitis B vaccine that comes from the same technology, CORBEVAX has an excellent safety profile. In a phase 3 trial conducted in India, CORBEVAX produced mainly mild adverse events, making it perhaps one of the safest COVID-19 vaccines in use.
When compared with doses of the AstraZeneca–University of Oxford vaccine manufactured by the Serum Institute of India, CORBEVAX also produced a higher amount of neutralizing antibodies against the Delta and Beta variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID (We expect to have Omicron data soon.) And it provided more durable and lasting protection. The vaccine neutralized variants of concern in laboratory animal studies and was highly protective in two nonhuman primate challenge trials. The trial results are being prepared for submission to a peer-reviewed journal.
As a recombinant protein vaccine developed from the receptor biding domain of the spike protein on the virus’s surface, combined with Dynavax Technologies’ CpG 1018 adjuvant with alum, the Texas Children’s CVD COVID vaccine can be stored using simple refrigeration. And like the hepatitis B vaccine, this COVID vaccine has one of the lowest costs of any available to date. No patents have been filed on the vaccine technology, and Texas Children’s CVD is assisting and co-developing the vaccine alongside BE and other vaccine producers in the Global South, which helps keep the cost low.
There is a research paper cited in the text, from Hotez and company, which shows that this is strong recombinant tech – it is NOT a rushed product.
Genetic modification to design a stable yeast-expressed recombinant SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain as a COVID-19 vaccine candidate
Now you all may remember me talking about a German vaccinologist named Winfried Stoecker, who tried to develop and promote a very similar RBD vaccine – and who was shut down immediately by Angie The Dung Cow and her Green Shirts.
In my opinion, this guy is like a “reality” version of the angry white faux-tranny Titania McGrath – a troll so perfect that it has to be real, or reality so SPOT-ON that it becomes a troll.
Peter Hotez is so authentically in compliance with the narrative, that he holds power over the hypocrites who force it on everybody else.
Thus, Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci are forced to go along with their own narrative, by this bow-tie bozo – this three-mask martinet of mandate over-compliance.
Don’t worry – this move away from the clot shot serves the agenda of Gates and Fauci, by covering their rear ends when the heat is on. The super-villains are not stupid, and did not rise to their levels of control by allowing guys like Hotez to be anything but a “parachute” of sorts, if their private jets catch fire.
Still, how did Hotez pull it off?
In my opinion, going to INDIA was the key move. India understands the precarious position they are in, thanks to CHINA JOE in the White House. India telling Pfizer to talk to the hand, and also backing off on trumpeting the virtues of ivermectin, are BOTH in my opinion connected to an exit via the Hotez vaccine.
HOTEZ had to know that INDIA was his key to getting HIS VACCINE produced.
INDIA had to know that HOTEZ was capable of bailing them out from the CLOT SHOT.
INDIA understood that HOTEZ was donating them a money-maker to gain leverage on the CLOT SHOT.
HOTEZ understood that INDIA needed an easy break to steal influence from CHINA.
Both HOTEZ and INDIA knew that BILL GATES, CHINA and BIDEN were weakened by CLOT SHOT blowback, and were not in a position to keep the murderous ruse of the CLOT SHOT going.
The HOTEZ VACCINE could be delayed at first, but it could not be stopped, because CLOT SHOT problems would eventually make it impossible to delay or stop any other reasonable vaccines.
All in all, a beautiful chess game of scientific leverage.
So who wins?
In my opinion – GOD.
Matthew 18:6
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Peter Hotez is very clear about the pediatric possibility of this vaccine. No matter what, I think he REALLY wants to help kids. If his vaccine isn’t “Clot Shot, Jr.”, then I think he may just do that.
We anticipate people will readily accept CORBEVAX and similar recombinant protein COVID vaccines, including for pediatric use. And clinical trials in children are also underway in India. Parents may even be more willing to accept CORBEVAX than vaccines made with a newer technology. If there was ever a COVID vaccine that might triumph over vaccine hesitancy and refusal, we believe this could be the one.
Is this vaccine better than simply catching the disease? We’ll see.
After what Pfizer, Moderna, Fauci, Gates and Biden have done, I trust NATURE more than vaccines. But I also “trust” some vaccines more than others.
I HOPE that THIS one – Corbevax – may be the new “gold standard” of coronavirus vaccine safety.
In the process of finding this video – passing over videos about – well – you can guess – I found THIS one, from Australia. The title is misleading – designed to get clicks and subscribers.
It’s worth watching to see the good and the bad of the Australian spring this last October.
Yeah, we still have staffing problems, but who doesn’t under China Joe?
While off to a rocky start, we are staying open as many days of the week as possible, just like some of the small businesses that I patronize.
Keep up that LOCAL PRESSURE on the Biden cabal by going to school board meetings and supporting TRUE non-monopoly capitalism – it SKEERS Kapo and Little Red Jen somethin’ FIERCE.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! To the White House press– thank you for challenging us, for questioning and for holding us accountable as we all work to keep the American people informed. And to the press team–you are simply the best. Grateful every day to work with you. pic.twitter.com/xxBwLMzh2L
Likewise, patronize those SMALL BLOGS that provide new viewpoints and ideas!
We Serve Whiskey And Guns To Indians Here!
Yup! FREEDOM is GOOD TROUBLE, and we’re in favor of it, for everybody, much to the consternation of our local maskies and vaxxies.
I had the special pleasure of being “refused service” by a maskie recently – he simply walked away from the cash register and went into the back. Some of it was due to race. Having been “not served” because of race before, I can spot that fairly easily, and this person was not exactly “hard to read”.
Three other staffers (all forced to wear masks, sadly) came to my assistance and took my order.
I maintained a pleasant demeanor, as part of one of several psychological warfare tactics that I have adopted recently, in fighting against the VAXZIS and MASKZIS.
While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we continue to ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.
So what’s on the ODD BAR’S CRAZY MENU this week?
We’ve served alcohols our first week, including menthol, ivermectin, and hydroxychloroquine.
Next, we served amines , including second generation antihistamines.
Today, we’ll toast each other with an element that we’ll borrow from Steve…..
…..and some very special natural alcohols and derivatives, including among the 4 of them, 3 terpenoids, 2 phenols, 1 ester, and 1 ether.
More on these wonderful “liqueurs” later!

There’s still time to spread omicron! GET BUSY!!!
While we do have some members out with Omicron now, including Brave and Free, the real question is whether we’re going to see a big peak in March and April, like we did in 2020.
And if you’re gonna get sick, you might at least consider having some willing cohort, looking for that natural immunity, to get sick with you!
Ah, thanks to SMILEY for reminding me of the goofy fun of these wonderful but stupid GIFs called “Blingees”!
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!

As one of the early “discoverers” of The Ethical Skeptic on Twitter, I was happy that I was able to get a few people interested in his precise and well-considered thoughts on things – especially regarding the phony scamdemic. TES was always utterly perturbed by the bad science of the “pandemic”, and worked on a daily basis to “correct the fact checkers” – which was all of hilarious, sad, and joyful.
After I was kicked off Twitter, I rarely saw him, due to my own laziness, really, but in 2021, some GREAT links to The Ethical Skeptic’s work popped up here. THANK YOU, to all who follow him and keep us informed.
This one got us all thinking about “coof kits”, and GA/FL suggested some of us putting up our own versions. I initially thought that this might not be a good idea, because people’s needs and medical situations really VARY – one of the main reasons that “practicing medicine without a license” is actually a bad idea in normal times. I thought it better to have a broader discussion.
However, I just realized that I did put up a kind of “minimal” kit last week, and it’s worth looking at it.
This kit was designed for people who DON’T have a smart plan already figured out, and don’t want to investigate “hard to find” things like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
Here is what I had, followed by my earlier reasoning. The main change is adding Vitamin C, as discussed below.
Wolf’s COVID Care Package
Thermometer (thermal digital is easiest)
Antigen test kit(s) (yeah, good luck finding one, although they are coming back after New Years)
Antihistamine of your choice (Claritin, Zyrtec, and Allegra are the easiest – 1-2 a day)
Aspirin (regular, or low-dose if your stomach doesn’t like it – 1 a day)
Listerine or Betadine mouthwash/gargle for mouth and throat
Vitamins C and D, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, Multivitamin including Selenium.
Quercetin (including natural sources) or Green Tea
Saline or other nasal spray, rinse, or wash of your choice
The thermometer tells you when to use your precious test kit – when you suddenly have a fever and a sore or tingly throat.
The test kit gets you a positive diagnosis that opens doors for things like antibodies, or an official test.
A positive test means you can BEGIN TREATMENT at THERAPEUTIC DOSES.
The antihistamine insures that YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT DIE, because it stops the second, allergic, inflammatory stage of COVID in its tracks.
The aspirin makes doubly sure you won’t get clots, but be careful – don’t take it if you’ve had trouble with aspirin. Talk to your doctor if unsure.
The gargles (Listerine or Betadine) massively reduce viral load and speed time to recovery.
The saline and nasal washes lower viral load, and maintain nasal breathing.
The quercetin and green tea help zinc’s antiviral action by increasing cellular zinc levels.
The vitamins and mineral supplements keep you at antiviral levels of these things. In particular, zinc and vitamin D3 need to be at non-deficient levels.
Please consult authoritative sources from TRUE medical doctors like the ones at https://flccc.net.
Cthulhu noted that I hadn’t mentioned Vitamin C – I have now added that, because it’s likely to help and can’t hurt (“First, do no harm”) and also follows the McCullough Principle (“Signals of Benefit, Acceptable Safety”). I don’t think it’s nearly as important as the antihistamine and “clot-blocker”, but I do have to admit that Vitamin C was certainly far better than nothing when I survived Wuhan with only mild lung damage.
What I’m going to do now is to encourage all of YOU to talk about your “war chests” and “coof kits”, and explain your reasonings about things.
This will help people who are deciding what THEY might want to add to their kits – OR REMOVE, if there is something better for their particular situation.
Remember – everybody has their own unique medical needs.
I will put my thoughts in the comments, just like everybody else.
NOW – about those natural “essential oils” in Listerine.
Let’s look at them.
Menthol
Thymol
Eucalyptol (2 views)
Methyl salicylate
These are all natural substances of roughly the same molecular size and composition (mostly carbon and hydrogen with 1-3 oxygen atoms), all of them being either pungent oily liquids or smelly, vaporous crystalline solids.
There are some relations between these things.
Thymol is basically menthol where the 6-membered ring has been made benzenoid – meaning like benzene – with 3 double bonds.
Notice that methyl salicylate is also benzenoid. Methyl salicylate is related to aspirin, and has similar activities. Don’t drink Listerine, even though the amounts are (believe it or not) rather small.
Eucalyptol is also structurally related to menthol, although it’s harder to see. Try to see it.
All of these natural substances, when isolated from their sources, were very early pharmaceuticals. They ALL have pharmacological activities, which many would regard as “primitive” by today’s standards, and yet, gargling Listerine is PROVEN to be extremely effective in reducing viral load of COVID-19 variants – about 80% as effective as iodine solutions.
Why might this be? Here is just ONE small line of immunological evidence.
To be honest, we’re a bit late to the game here. Native Australians from the first wave of immigration, roughly 65,000 years ago, discovered the utility of eucalyptol by their own investigations.
There is a great picture of what is essentially a native doctor’s medical bag in the second link. When it freaks you out a bit, let it. This is a way of getting you to appreciate human intelligence outside your modern experience.
Lastly – IODINE.
I have not tried this, and I am not sure I would like it, but it’s a viable option, IMO. I actually like Listerine, and it worked for me on delta, so I’m happy with that. I did NOT try Listerine in the nasal cavity. Not sure that I’d like that. I stuck to saline.
I did find a paper that showed Listerine to be roughly 80% as effective as povidone-iodine.
Here is link to a review which states something similar, and a summary of the review.
A review of literature was conducted regarding the use of commercially available antiseptics and SARS-CoV-2.
Results
Povidone-iodine (betadine), ethanol and essential oils (Listerine) and a combination of xylitol and iota-carrageenan (purified from red marine algae) were shown to reduce viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro by 3–4 log10 in 30 s.
Chlorhexidine, a widely used oral rinse, does not act as quickly in reducing viral load in 30 s as povidone-iodineI, but binds to cell proteins, extending protection.
Hydrogen peroxide is not as effective as other oral rinses in vitro and cell toxicity is a concern.
Hypertonic saline is not directly virucidal, but halts replication by increasing hypochlorous acid inside the cell.
Conclusion
Several commonly used nasal antiseptics and gargles have shown efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro and clinical trials are currently underway to study their impact on disease course and transmission.
Future perspective
These commercially available products should be further evaluated due to their potential ability to reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses that are yet to emerge.
You can also make your own povidone-iodine gargles and nasal rinses – Dr. McCullough has retweeted a nice recipe for this. Click through to Twitter for more information.
This is another GREAT article, talking about one of my FAVORITE complaints about modern science, which has resulted from a really SICK and UNHEALTHY compartmentalization, as well as insulation of scientists from internal criticism (lack of “herd review”). This condition has allowed all sorts of pathological science to gain ascendancy without check, balance, or proper community criticism.
For example, CLIMATE CHANGE gets more input from FINANCIERS than it does from the many scientists like me who think we are acting irrationally and presumptuously on ERRORS. These errors have been induced by the WRONG forces – beneficiaries not committed to truth – within a small pathologically influenced community – much like what’s going on with improperly influenced government science and the “clot shot”.
This piece by The Ethical Skeptic contains a graphic using a BULLSEYE which you really need to see. It makes a very important point about science – which I can apply DIRECTLY to Anthony Fauci.
Fauci’s extreme focus on antibodies to the spike protein as a nearly sole measure of “success” of the “clot shot”, is a perfect example of what TES is talking about.
I have referred to Fauci’s over-focus as “antibody hypnosis”. In fact, I see this kind of obsession and compulsion repeatedly throughout his career, and would wager that:
it’s why he always “wins” against the Judy Mikovitses and the Kary Mullises
it’s why he’s so highly paid
it’s why he’s tied to so many “grim reaper” experiments
it’s why corrupt industry loves him, and is in bed with him
TES makes a general point about the kinds of information which actually provide STRONGER PROOF – and this set includes something I love – INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION BY ALTERNATE LINES OF REASONING – not just “duplication of results” and “confirmation of results” – which are both sadly lacking as well, but not nearly as important.
I have powerful, direct experiences in science with the need for RESOLVED DIVERSE INPUTS and AVOIDANCE OF HYPNOTIC REASONING as safeguards against pathological science.
However, THEY (and I mean “they”) are using various forms of hypnosis, including MASS, COMMUNITY, PEER, and INDIVIDUAL to advance science in ways that THEY want.
Human science is far more controlled than we either admit or understand.
Anyway, back to the article.
There is a quote from Elon Musk therein which is really worth your while, and which TES puts in the context of what he is talking about.
Bluntly, it feels wonderful to know that SOMEBODY GETS IT.
What Musk is talking about here is basically the “bullseye” metaphor that TES uses. And THAT is related to the following item.
While Fauci is very committed to the LEVELS of his antibodies, he has not properly processed feedback that would indicate he’s OPTIMIZING THE WRONG THING.
Here is a link to Steve Kirsch’s interpretation of Sucharit Bhakdi’s and Arne Burkhardt’s analysis of people who died after vaccination, showing that these deaths were ALMOST ALL related to the “clot shot”.
Kirsch REALLY explains this well. Malone takes note of this, too.
IMO, it would appear that Fauci is optimizing the WRONG ANTIBODIES in the WRONG WAY, because the vaccines are CREATING the WRONG ANTIBODIES in the WRONG PLACES.
Please read Kirsch’s article and then the Bhakdi-Burkhardt paper to understand this.
Now, Fauci may be optimizing the wrong antibodies in the wrong places for a variety of reasons. Those exact reasons are not nearly as important as the fact that they are simply WRONG.
I believe Bhakdi, Burkhardt, and Kirsch – this is a risky vaccine, and now we begin to understand WHY.
Based on this knowledge, I personally will not be taking these vaccines.
In my opinion, these results CLEARLY show that vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 should not be effected by IM injections of a full SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and even more emphatically so, NOT by genetic vaccines delivered by IM injections. In my very early opinion, this is going to be a CLASSIC case for using RBD antigen (protein) and/or nasal delivery as a concession to the virus – with nasal delivery being used as a SAFETY feature and NOT merely a convenience.
To have SAFER vaccines for DISCRIMINATING SHOPPERS like me, we’re going to have to compromise with the virus. That’s just the way it is.
There may be SOME who thought that we could arrive at a compromise that would reduce human populations, but frankly I don’t like that deal.
In my opinion, ANYBODY with vascular, cardiac, clotting, or other issues like WANTING TO HAVE KIDS SOMEDAY, or NOT RISKING CANCER, should absolutely avoid the current clot shots.
In my opinion, the clot shot is stupidity advanced by greedy people who are controlled and manipulated by really evil people. In other words, it’s not stupid, greedy, or evil – it’s ALL OF THE ABOVE.
The DISEASE is no picnic, and I can see some people making the risk-benefit calculation in favor of the vaccine – particularly newer RBD antigen vaccines like Corbevax (Hotez/Baylor/India/open-source). But if people are dying in 5 years from experimental mRNA vaccines with the full spike protein – well, that is exactly like the RISK that one takes with SMOKING SOMETHING YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.
Seriously, most Americans would refuse to take a novel “legal” or illegal designer drug, given stories like the “bath salts” and “Parkinson’s heroin” experiences which shocked the public in horror headlines.
Parkinson’s from Designer Heroin (Ironically related to Paraquat)
This is what I really wanted to show you, right here.
The Ethical Skeptic, or TES, or “ThEthSkep“, as I sometimes call him, has proven to my satisfaction that CCP lied even MORE than we previously thought possible.
Is this hard to believe? That we got CHUMPED by CHINA yet again?
Yeah. Getting chumped by China YET AGAIN is a thing.
I am tempted to try to construct an “elevator pitch” of ThEthSkep’s argument, and have even asked him (in a moderated comment) if he could provide such a short explanation that I could pitch to others.
If he DOES provide one, I will do an entire post on it.
For the moment, I will just give you my “two paragraph description” of his very long and elegant post, which post I can guarantee most here will have trouble following.
TES argues that setting an earlier date for the actual initial Chinese release of an ancestral pathogen to current SARS-CoV-2, provides a far better explanation of the facts at hand, as well as some facts which he generated through analysis of the genetics of SARS-CoV-2 variants, than does the “standard model” of a late 2019 release, whether that late release is taken from the early Chinese LIES about a zoonotic outbreak in December 2019, or from the October 2019 Wuhan lab activities which have always struck me as potential disinformation.
In particular, an early 2018 release of a less pathogenic ancestor explains the omicron variant’s surprisingly early 2020 appearance and low pathogenicity so well, and China’s population resistance to the more pathogenic Wuhan variant, whether that was a descendant or (my thinking) a new release, that IMO it is the duty of the “standard model” to explain all of the facts better than the TES theory.
Now, like I said, this post by TES is not an easy read, even for those with some knowledge of the field, and even for those experienced in reading the scientific literature. He moves at “review speed” through a lot of reasoning and even his own work, which is not all shown, but which is all fully described and referenced.
I am actually WAITING for my first reading to fully sink in, but I can tell you this. As soon as I “freed myself” from the necessity of a late 2019 release, everything “coof” just started falling into place.
This is one of those things that starts generating RESETS in my mind, on everything I had thought before. Once you see what TES is getting at, it’s almost impossible to unsee it.
AND I CAN GO FURTHER.
I talk to a LOT of people, and listen carefully to their thinking about COVID. One of my sources is somebody who has a lot of contacts in Europe and Asia, especially India, due to working for an international firm.
That person strongly believes, based on illnesses within the corporation as well as associated entities, that something like COVID-19 was already circulating worldwide during ALL of 2019.
I had set this aside, unable to fit it into everything else I knew. NOW, however, it makes easy sense. In fact, the details which I don’t want to give, fit his model of spread EXACTLY.
If TES is correct, and I believe he is, then WE WERE DEALING WITH VARIANTS EVEN BEFORE THE CDC BEGAN TALKING ABOUT VARIANTS. In fact, they never told us that THE ORIGINAL WAS LIKELY JUST A VARIANT OF SOME PRIOR VARIANT.
And THIS explains much better why Fauci, Baric, Dazsak, and all the others were ready to cover up – because a virus related to their research had already gotten out in 2018. Going along with the Chinese story was a RELIEF to them – and they grabbed on tightly.
In other words, a conspiracy of aligning interests, not something discussed on paper or by phone. It’s a brilliant Chinese move, actually. Proffer a lie and see if our own scientists will join them in it.
The USEFUL IDIOT American media? NO PROBLEM.
And not just THAT stuff, but now we have much more evidence that these bugs could have been “in the wild” EVERYWHERE – including possibly just outside the Baric lab, near where Gail Combs picked up a “coofy” bug much earlier than would have been possible with a late 2019 release. (I will let her address the time-frames.)
Consider that China could even have been trying to FRAME or intimidate Baric with a stateside release in the vicinity of his lab. Why? Because NOW we have MOTIVE.
Does it make sense NOW that these highly contagious bugs could have been getting out willy-nilly from these laboratories? Or that China has been playing fast and loose with biological releases?
What does this mean?
It means that the whole NIH-Fauci-Wuhan complex has been in cover-up mode, trying to SAVE THEIR DANGEROUS RESEARCH which they know is VERY likely to be SHUT DOWN BY A CONGRESS RUN BY THE PEOPLE – no matter WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS RELEASE.
Remember how I said the President Wolf Moon would send a cruise missile into every BSL level 4 that didn’t shut down immediately upon his inauguration? Those missiles armed with whatever insured that all viruses were FRIED?
See the motive to get rid of Trump now? WE THE PEOPLE cannot be allowed to interfere with their “holy” research.
And wait – there’s MOAR.
Somewhere in the years between 2005 and 2010, around the time I got an extremely SARS-CoV-2-like infection, complete with anosmia, exhaustion, and “sore lung”, I took note of the fact that all of my Asian colleagues in the “anti-CCP” camp became very religious about taking COVID-like precautions in our CCP-Chinese-infested workplace. These precautions included isolation, surface and aerosol measures, like wipes, air filters, and even clothing choices.
Most of us dismissed it as an “Asian thing” like masks, even though it was a sudden and new social phenomenon, but because I had contacts in that community who were sometimes sources of insight on CCP skulduggery, I noticed that ONLY the “antis” were engaging in the protective behaviors – the mainlanders and pro-CCP Hong Kongers/Taiwanese were not.
Interestingly, I was not getting any good information on the trend – unlike other scuttlebutt at the time.
Was it real or disinformation? Was it an op to flush out the antis? Was it “anti” paranoia?
I have no idea. But I personally think that China has been up to “bio-tricks” for a LONG time – as in back BEFORE SARS (2003).
If 2018 is the first time China released any biologicals, I would be VERY surprised.
SO – see what you think. Read this sucker, and then think about it.
I think TES is onto something.
A Note About January 6 – and More
I have been avoiding all things January 6, largely because I don’t want to give Nancy Gambino any “lift” as far as her phony “investigation” into HER OWN CRIME.
I understand her game plan, and I’m not going to play along.
I would have loved to have recounted that amazing day in another long, glowing, “all about me and my experiences” post, but no.
THIS IS WAR.
In my opinion, we can bring down these horrible communists faster by focusing on whatever WE want to focus on.
Nancy says “the fight is over here”.
NOPE. Go to hell, Mafia Bitch. We know what you did. With Kapo’s dirty FBI. And the backing of Mitch McConnell and SCOFFLAW SCOTUS.
Some may want to join the fight against Pelosi right now, and please feel free to “follow Darren Beattie into Pelosi’s breach”, but I think that MANDATES are going to kill these bastards at the polls, if we just help them commit electoral suicide.
Expose the “clot shot” risks more fully, and show that the mandates are MORE EVIL.
We need to make Democrats – destroying America for GREED under the cover of virtue signals – absolutely unelectable, and I think we can.
ENJOY THE SHOW.
Thank you all for being here. Have a great weekend.
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 “performing” – stumbling in disarray behind the HUMAN SHIELD Joe Biden, it looks like even the core plotters are having regrets and doubts now.
Mark “Drop Box Treason” Zuckerberg isn’t buying up land for his giant hideaway in Hawaii – only a SUBMARINE RIDE AWAY FROM CHINA – for no reason. He knows that there is a limited future for this insane, incompetent, incorrigible, and unelected OBOLA-BIDUNG regime, that he helped force upon ALL OF US.
SPIT!!!
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, TOGETHER.
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.
FOR EXAMPLE:
WE, the LINTARDS, the FLYNNTARDS, and the WeAin’tNeverGonnaWinTards are all welcome here, as long as we’re NICE ABOUT IT. The mutually odious viewpoints of disagreeing patriots are ALL welcome – those views just have to be expressed nicely, without accusing each other of being this, that, or the other.
Disagree with the material, not the character of the presenter.
Remember – Everybody is somebody else’s Ace Ventura.
As an alternative to character assassination, allow THE HOUSE to suggest better and more compelling material than the other person.
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.”
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 enemies, the Crazy Mask-Wearing Democrats. Note that Benadryl and some of the other antihistamines that can save their lives from COVID cooties, also act as antipsychotics.
We’ll get to more about THAT in a moment.
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.
Today’s gonna be a real grab-bag. Don’t click on what you may not like.
THE SCROLLBAR OR MOUSE WHEEL COULD BE YOUR FRIEND.
This one is a bit too “heavy metal” for many of us, but it brings to my mind some of the questions of TRANSHUMANISM.
Food for thought.
OK – maybe we should balance that out with a little country, like last week? Maybe a bit “old pop country” – whatever! Enjoy this flash-in-the-pan country duo act, who look far too much like something from the Monica Lewinsky era.
Well, we can’t have Country without “Western”!
So how about something very familiar, but maybe you never really thought about how WEIRD it is that it actually IS familiar………?
OK – this is really straying pretty far afield from WHEATIE MUSIC.
So how about a little more of THAT? In fact, how about 90 minutes of it?
Alright! THAT was sufficient preparation for MORE WEIRDNESS.
I used to love this song. Kinda glad the styles changed since then, however.
So how about some Vitamin B – as in BOLLYWOOD?
This stuff is surprisingly listenable.

There you go. Around the world in 8 music videos.
Call To Battle
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
CAN AH GIT AN EYE-ROLL???
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.
Featured Story – Benadryl Could Have Saved Grandma / The Gatesification of Science
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 …
ARE YOU SEEING IT YET?
We will keep working on it until you do.
Today’s message is how BENADRYL provides ONE MORE EXAMPLE of a drug that showed a strong signal of benefit AND acceptable safety AND – shockingly – was very likely in the medicine cabinets of hundreds of thousands of people who died of COVID-19 NEEDLESSLY – simply because American medicine has been taken over at the top by the pharmaceutical industry and their financial backers.
They had to show us.
And they did.
If you are not familiar with my…..
finding of
explanation of
personal use of
support for
and
promotion of
…..the use of ANTIHISTAMINES as a simple, reliable, proven, and readily available “cure”, if you will, for “death by COVID”, then let me give you a quick list of my previous commentary and REFERENCES to this wonderful FACT.
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 …
I. The Clot Shot First things first. Nobody would be calling ALL of the various full-length stabilized SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit spike protein vaccines “the clot shot” if there weren’t some clear and obvious problems with the full-length stabilized SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit spike protein ITSELF. We already know that clotting dysfunction is key to COVID-19 pathogenicity. …
OK, people. It is time for THE WOLF to GET PATTON ON YOUR ASSES. As you may know, we now have many of our dear members actively fighting COVID-19, including one (gil00) in the hospital. Several have received Regeneron. Thus far, praise God, we have not lost anybody – and I intend to keep it …
After a lost week of human self-experimentation to survive multiply mutated Fauci-Baric China Virus, Wolf has obtained answers to a thousand questions. Here are just a few of those answers. Over the last week, overcoming my SECOND case of the China virus, I have been able to learn quite a bit about the enemy’s weaponry …
This is a quick update that is almost entirely GOOD NEWS, and that needs to SPREAD AROUND LIKE WILDFIRE – just like OMICRON. I will try to be brief and only comment as needed. 1 – A Case of Omicron Treated With HCQ Remember that case of COVID treated with ivermectin, that was published as …
The Pub is OPEN! Of course we’re open on New Year’s Eve, for goodness sake! However, the crooked and despicable Clot Shot Casino is now CLOSED (more details later), for outrageous offenses like THIS. Colorado casino customers prosecuted for playing abandoned slot credits Prepare to be outraged, even though this story is from over 5 …
If you follow through these SIX posts, you will see the progression of my thinking.
recognition of cheap, common antihistamine therapy as lifesaving at nearly 100% levels
dawning of realization that NIH, CDC, and big pharma were not truly looking out for patients
realization that individuals needed to be ready to save themselves and their friends, family, neighbors and loved ones with various therapeutics
what I learned by treating my own confirmed case of delta with selected therapeutics
confirmation of the generality and stage 2 mechanism of H1 antihistamine therapy
how antihistamine therapy was hidden by the media as compared to HCQ and ivermectin, on behalf of the larger plot to control humanity
Indeed, I now see the suppression of knowledge of the most readily available, inexpensive, extremely safe COVID therapeutics, as one of the greatest, saddest, and most horrifying instances of GASLIGHTING in history – not merely the history of science.
Humans on this planet were HYPNOTIZED into NOT USING the two most obvious drugs in their medicine cabinets – aspirin and antihistamines – which could have saved them from a new and sometimes deadly “cold”.
Ironic, isn’t it? The media tried to talk us us out of aspirin just before it would have saved millions of people from both the “clot disease” and even the “clot shot”.
Funny, that. But it gets worse.
My doctors and their nurses distinctly and repeatedly tried to steer me to acetaminophen (Tylenol) for COVID, despite the fact that there was, at that time, ESTABLISHED, PUBLISHED, SOLID, PEER-REVIEWED LITERATURE showing that low-dose aspirin reduces hospitalization and death from COVID-19 by around half. And the reason is obvious to anybody with a wisp of scientific understanding – even at high-school levels. Aspirin is a blood thinner and anticoagulant, and the bad effects of the disease (and the shots) are thrombotic. Simple.
If there was ever a time to take aspirin, it was for COVID. The suppressed FLCCC.net treatment recommends it. Why not the AMA?
Can’t they read the damn signal?
Can’t they understand relative risk and benefit?
Like I said, VACCINE HYPNOSIS.
Peter McCullough talks about this phenomenon of vaccine hypnosis in the scientific and medical communities, in his great interview with Joe Rogan, above. I think he uses a different term for it, but we’re talking about the same thing.
The hypnotic blindness toward active use of therapeutics was bad for HCQ and ivermectin, but it was even worse for antihistamines, because the deception got past even the most active members of the “therapeutic” community – MYSELF INCLUDED.
I was a HUGE backer of [HCQ + disease-conferred immunity] as the best therapeutic path forward, from the very beginning. I later began appreciating ivermectin, too, as the data rolled in.
Enjoy one of my memes inspired by Cari Kelemen on Twitter, with her great quote at the bottom.
The problem is, at the deepest part of the conspiracy, we were GASLIT into focusing on chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, and not gaining social momentum toward more readily available drugs (aspirin and common antihistamines) that could have REALLY changed the game – but which would have VERY RAPIDLY moved the global outcome away from the pointless, problematic, Gates-controlled vaccines.
Once you understand that we were CHUMPS who were CONNED away from antihistamines, you understand how smart these people REALLY are.
They’re tricky – SO tricky.
Hydroxychloroquine, and then ivermectin, WERE part of the gaslighting. We loved them, and still do, but don’t kid yourself. They are GOOD, SAFE, EFFECTIVE drugs. But BOTH are prescription drugs. They require doctors, and this brilliant chess move distracted the few honest doctors, looking for therapeutics, by a hidden, unconscious, alignment with “what they could do to help”.
THE PERFECT BAIT – for the “please help” scam.
It’s like putting a firehose in front of a fireman when there is a fire, and seconds to stop it. The fireman may not know that down under all that burning wood is a fire that would go out faster and better with something other than water, but they do the right thing, and go for the first and most obvious solution that appears, consistent with their own abilities.
We don’t like to think that we were suckered by a SECOND LAYER OF THE SCAM, but we were.
I was actually suckered by such a scam, years ago, in assisting the deceitful implementation of the current highly broken version of affirmative action in universities. It’s an interesting story, but I’ll save it for another time.
The point is, the best way to CON people is to GET THEM TO BUY IN ENTHUSIASTICALLY.
People usually don’t catch these masterful crimes until the crooks are long gone and got what they wanted. It’s infuriating, but the multi-layer “please help” scam is effective as – well – HELL.
Hollywood, of course, is quite familiar with such “plots”.
BUT ANYWAY…..
Let’s get down to business.
Up until now, the two, large-scale, clinically proven sets of antihistamines for COVID-19 have been the newest (cetirizine, loratadine, and fexofenadine) and one of the oldest (promethazine), but not one of the most obvious possibilities – diphenhydramine, otherwise known as Benadryl.
Well, it turns out that Benadryl has been showing ENORMOUS promise in the laboratory.
Now this particular researcher has been looking at a synergistic combination of diphenhydramine (Benadryl) with human lactoferrin, which achieves STUNNING results, in terms of ANTIVIRAL activity, albeit in vitro.
To quote the article:
The scientist who combined two widely available over-the-counter compounds that inhibited the novel coronavirus by 99% in early tests told WND he’s hopeful his treatment will be available “within months.”
“An FDA-approved treatment could be in sight within months if pharmaceutical companies utilize existing clinical trial resources,” said Dr. David Ostrov in an email interview with WND.
Let’s just quote that again for effect:
“An FDA-approved treatment could be in sight within months if pharmaceutical companies utilize existing clinical trial resources,” said Dr. David Ostrov in an email interview with WND.
To which the only proper response is…..
But wait – there’s moar!
Sadly, I’m sorry, but anybody who is still embedded in Fake Science and Fake Medicine needs to understand what I figured out while I was in the belly of the beast.
The people at the top, in Washington, DC, are no longer there to help the people.
They are there to help themselves.
Solutions are controlled by RETURN ON INVESTMENT – not by saved lives – THAT is secondary.
Which is too bad, because antihistamines are a solid cure against DEATH, per the Spanish study, and have a robust mechanism in both Stage 1 AND Stage 2 of COVID, with Ostrov’s work proving actual Stage 1 antiviral activity.
Please read the following comments by the scientist, Dr. David Ostrov, behind the study.
The story started before SARS, when my lab was studying drugs that bind ACE2, the molecule that turned out to be the receptor for SARS and SARS-CoV-2.
We previously found that an antihistamine (hydroxyzine) bound ACE2, and in 2020 were able to test the ability of this drug to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 in the lab. It was an “aha” moment when the data clearly showed that a common antihistamine inhibited the virus that causes COVID. Different scientists at the University of Florida College of Medicine used different isolates of SARS-CoV-2, and the results agreed with each other. An antihistamine can inhibit the virus!
We then realized that there may be similar drugs that could inhibit the virus, perhaps even over-the-counter drugs. But which drugs?
We collaborated with investigators and UCSF where they examined the medical records for more than 219,000 people tested for SARS-CoV-2. They found that usage of diphenhydramine was associated with a lower incidence of SARS-CoV-2. In other words, in this population, people were less likely to be infected with COVID if they used diphenhydramine.
Why would taking an allergy pill lead to lower risk of COVID? There could be many reasons, but is it possible that a simple allergy pill can directly inhibit the virus that causes COVID?
We did the experiments at the University of Florida College of Medicine, and the data was published in a peer reviewed journal. Diphenhydramine exhibits direct antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. Diphenhydramine inhibits virus replication, inhibits virus shedding and inhibits host cell killing.
This is all wonderful news, but it NEVER penetrated the “vaccine hypnosis”, and here is why. Again, a quote from the investigator, Dr. Ostrov.
My prediction is that antiviral drug combinations, such as diphenhydramine and lactoferrin, will provide a similar level of benefit as Regeneron monoclonal antibodies, Pfizer and Merck antivirals, at less than 1/100 the cost of those therapies.
There you go. Right there. “Less than one one-hundredth the cost” is NOT what these companies, bureaucrats, and politicians want to hear. They may nod and say “wonderful”, but if it does not cause as much “other people’s money” to move as the vaccines, then nobody will champion it.
However, that does NOT mean that WE THE LAB RATS can’t use the knowledge to save ourselves.
Ostrov is not stupid, and he gives up some crucial data while preserving his scientific credibility.
AND I QUOTE:
Ostrov told WND he’s been in communication with people who wonder if their use of the compounds has helped prevent them from getting COVID-19.
He noted that “anecdotal stories are certainly not proof of efficacy,” but many people have contacted him about diphenhydramine and lactoferrin, and their results “are difficult to ignore.”
“For many people, they say everyone around them got COVID, but not them,” Ostrov said.
And they ask the professor if diphenhydramine and/or lactoferrin.
“Without placebo controlled clinical trials, we will not have a definitive answer,” he said. “The answer for now, though, is maybe.”
Ostrov mentioned a contact who takes a daily dose of Benadryl and regularly drinks milk. She said she had been in close contact for hours with someone who was hospitalized the next day for COVID-19. But after waiting five days from the time of exposure, she tested negative for COVID.
He cautioned that people “considering their own concoction should understand that our experiments were carried out with human lactoferrin, not cow.” And the lactoferrin he used was purified in a special way to enhance its antiviral properties and is not likely to be found on the shelf.
People should consult with their physician, Ostrov said, before taking any drug for a use other than its intended use.
“Even though historically there are relatively few adverse events reported for diphenhydramine and lactoferrin, it should be noted that long term use of any medication, or combination of medications, could have unexpected consequences,” he said.
Ostrov said he hopes that once FDA-approved, “people may benefit from this antiviral drug combination for two-to-three month intervals during each wave of COVID infections.”
Notice that while Ostrov VERY HELPFULLY admits there is some real life usage of the drugs going on, and some success, he also downplays the admission to a politically correct level, using excuses that are completely mitigating against accusations of “recommendation”. The man is not stupid. He’s getting the word out, while staying in the lanes that Fake Science demands he stay in.
BUT – and this should be very clear – it’s obvious that people CAN and WILL make use of this cure – particularly the Benadryl. Thus, Ostrov makes a nicely balanced warning about long-term use of Benadryl, which is known to be potentially problematic, but also probably not an issue for most people who are treating or occasionally/periodically preventing COVID-19.
And, of course, there are many other antihistamines which are KNOWN TO BE SAFE for long-term usage, which are (IMO, based on the Spanish work) acceptable substitutes for Benadryl.
Let me add some other links on Benadryl that people may find useful.
One of the things to notice here is that this article was published over a year ago (December 2020), describing work that occurred over years before that, but that then ramped up under COVID during 2020.
In that ENTIRE TIME, at the same time Ostrov was doing foundational research, the clinical efficacy of THREE antihistamines was discovered, tested, demonstrated in a group of people, and published (March to September 2020) by the nursing home doctors in Spain. AND, during that time Dr. Chetty in South Africa demonstrated the clinical utility of promethazine in thousands of patients.
In a sane world, as soon as the Spanish results were RECEIVED for publication (September 2020), there should have been immediate emergency pre-publication for the benefit of clinicians. Instead, the paper was basically held until January 2021, when the vaccines were safely in production.
The SYSTEM is not designed to save lives in anything near an optimal fashion. It is designed to make money as a primary motivation, and – perhaps – THE primary motivation.
So why has Ostrov’s work apparently advanced no further toward treating people IN PRACTICE?
Because NOBODY in government or industry wants it. And they have OUR MONEY invested elsewhere.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t GREAT research going on. Just look at this confirmation of Dr. Chetty’s contention that antihistamines are useful in the treatment of “long COVID”.
“Well, I wouldn’t be so sure they do it alone, dude.”
Here is a guy – a recoveree – whose blood was found to be very lethal against SARS-CoV-2 – far more than most people’s blood.
Interestingly, the guy is something of a Benadryl addict due to allergies, and he took it during COVID.
Whether he took Benadryl prior to sample collection in July 2020 is unknown, but Benadryl is metabolized in the liver, otherwise by excretion to a lesser extent, so it’s possible that serum Benadryl could have enhanced the ability of any antibodies, by blocking ACE2 receptors while antibodies then bound to viral spike protein – a rather nifty tag-team effect.
You will see that this story is filled with coincidences – for example, the writer is the director of communications at the university that was running the study, and already knew the head of the study. He then volunteered to be tested, directly to that person, while doing a story.
And you know what I think of “their” journalists. LOW-GRADE SPIES AND PROVOCATEURS.
I don’t want to speak for Sadie, but if she throws a “Suspicious Cat at this story, I’m ready to throw FOUR of them.
AND I QUOTE:
I didn’t know it at the time, but my unlikely story had begun after becoming heavily congested to start the last week of March 2020. I had NO other symptoms whatsoever besides repeatedly having to blow my nose. Pollen was everywhere that time of year as per usual, so I just naturally attributed my sudden nasal issues to that. I loaded up on Benadryl and was feeling 100 percent again by week’s end four days later. There was never as much as a single thought that I had contracted COVID-19.
John Hollis
So the writer had COVID during the last week of March 2020, loaded up on Benadryl, finished out a very typical “good” case in 4 days, and very likely continued taking Benadryl, at least on occasion, for allergies.
AND I QUOTE AGAIN:
The George Mason antibody study, which began in April, was unique in that it was a saliva-based test rather a blood-based one and would eventually be used to screen students, faculty and staff. Mason was among the nation’s first universities to take this approach in the fight against the spread of the virus and maintains one of the only 13 National Institutes of Health-sponsored Biosafety Level 3 Biomedical Research Laboratories equipped to handle live COVID-19 samples from which Dr. Liotta and his team could quickly test.
Now jump to mid-July 2020.
As George Mason University’s Communications Manager, I had received word in mid-July that the scientists had come across some positive initial results.
I soon met with Dr. Liotta at his office on George Mason’s Science and Technology Campus in Manassas, Virginia to discuss their findings. I’ve known him for a few years now after having previously worked with him on other projects, so we’ve had a good relationship for a while. I was about to leave his office when I casually mentioned to Dr. Liotta that the guy I lived with had become terribly sick with the virus in early April. I had been so certain at that time that a similar fate or worse also awaited me that I even penned a letter to my teenage son just in case. I considered myself incredibly lucky to have gone unscathed.
This is when he volunteered for the test.
Or so I believed at the time.
So I figured there was no harm in asking if I could join the several hundred volunteers who had already participated in the study. Dr. Liotta agreed and I returned a few days later to give blood and saliva samples as a late addition to the research. The whole process took maybe 30 minutes.
This is how the story wraps up.
I was still of the belief that I had somehow dodged the bullet back in April and never even considered that I might have already contracted the virus, let alone that it may have been I who passed it on to my housemate. I had no reason to anticipate anything whatsoever coming of my lab results.
But after further careful analysis of my blood, Dr. Liotta and his team soon confirmed that I had contracted an American strain of the virus while also explaining to me exactly how and where the “super” antibodies had attacked and entirely eradicated the virus from my body. My blood has since proven equally as effective in killing every different strain of COVID-19, including the latest highly transmissible variants from both the U.K. and South Africa. I can’t even be a carrier for the virus.
I’ve been told this is somewhat akin to the medical equivalent of finding the Holy Grail.
I was one of eight people who participated in the study found to have “super” antibodies, with each person showing varying levels of natural protection from the virus. In addition to its ability to so effectively neutralize COVID-19, my blood is unique because the “super” antibodies in it have remained highly concentrated nearly a year after my infection. Most people’s antibodies typically wane significantly after 60 to 90 days.
How and why my body does this remains the million dollar question, but it means that I and others like me are best-suited to possibly help scientists mass reproduce antibodies like mine in the hopes of creating a treatment for COVID-19 and a lasting and far more effective vaccine.
It’s been sobering to think that my blood and that of others like me could potentially save thousands of lives or perhaps more.
So then imagine the irony of my having been randomly selected seven times for COVID testing between late September 2020 and March 2021. Each of the occasions—all with negative results—were part of George Mason University’s comprehensive Safe Return to Campus plan. It’s made for some good laughs and I’ve never once minded the very slight inconvenience. It’s like taking a test when you’ve been given all the answers in advance.
I’ve been very fortunate and feel blessed beyond measure.
Notice the TWOKICKERS which are to me indicative of a non-protein, small-molecule therapeutic in his plasma, with a longer half-life than more denaturable and strain-specific antibodies.
My blood has since proven equally as effective in killing every different strain of COVID-19, including the latest highly transmissible variants from both the U.K. and South Africa. I can’t even be a carrier for the virus.
I was one of eight people who participated in the study found to have “super” antibodies, with each person showing varying levels of natural protection from the virus. In addition to its ability to so effectively neutralize COVID-19, my blood is unique because the “super” antibodies in it have remained highly concentrated nearly a year after my infection. Most people’s antibodies typically wane significantly after 60 to 90 days.
SO – honestly – I think it would be very interesting to discover exactly how much Benadryl was in his blood samples when he took tests, and which may still be in those samples.
Why, this story could get even more interesting.
Are they toying with us?
I don’t know. Toying is a way of testing, is it not?
I can certainly think of the propaganda value of converting the strength of the “enemy position” – the “evolutionary solution” (therapeutics like Benadryl) into a story about antibodies (the “revolutionary solution”) – which supports both new vaccines and new, expensive, antibody therapies.
(See my prior discussion of Faucism as modern Lysenkoism for that to make sense.)
Anybody seeing how that works? It’s very Marxist, actually.
Is there some Gramsci in Fauci? Maybe nearby? Interesting times.
BACK TO ETHICAL QUESTIONS
The ever-vulgar, ever-right Karl Denninger CLUED ME IN, by virtue of a rather ranty rant, to a post by one of the best voices in the world of SCIENCE and REASON – a guy named The Ethical Skeptic.
TES, as he is known, is framing the “go home and take Tylenol and die or don’t die from COVID” therapy that most of us got, as a kind of INVOLUNTARY CONTROL EXPERIMENT – including DENIAL OF TREATMENT – without our informed consent.
I think his approach is VERY powerful.
AND I QUOTE:
In other words, I was allowed to choose whether I would be a member of the ‘no treatment allowed’ control group or alternately one of the vaccine test groups; however, through denying me timely treatment, I was not offered the ethical choice of not participating in the experiment altogether.
Neither was I informed as to the nature of this experiment, nor was I made aware that other treatments or therapies were at my avail, should I decline participation. I was fraudulently coerced by a medical professional (and by advising health officials) into the belief that I had no choice, I had to participate. My life was endangered and I was exposed to unnecessary amounts of suffering and expense as a result of this coerced experiment. I was not offered the remedies or recourse to address the situation in the instance where the experiment failed (it did fail) or failed to ensure my safety, nor was I given the opportunity to bring the experiment to an end.
What this really shows us is how BADLY medicine has been overrun by both corporate and government interests, which are now allied against medical freedom, and even against truth itself in science and medicine.
Back to McCullough.
SIGNALS OF BENEFIT and ACCEPTABLE SAFETY.
Not what we’re seeing with the limited choices being offered by establishment medicine and government, and which are clearly being LIED about by the narrative enforcers of social media.
The fact that Anthony Fauci and Gilead Pharmaceuticals would promote a drug (remdesivir) that had – AT BEST – no better signals of benefit than hydroxychloroquine – BUT that had FAR WORSE SAFETY – and that also had – admittedly – a higher profit margin……
Well, that pretty much tells you all you need to know about “ethics” in “Deep Science”.
And remember – Anthony Fauci’s WIFE is some kind of “ethics czarina” at NIH. A VERY interesting family, including a daughter at Twitter.
I have been a poor and rotten servant of the Lord during my too long and too miserable life. I have made innocent women cry. I have led others astray. I have turned away from those in need in their time of need, and I have lied to myself and to God about why I …
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 …
My dear wife is the one who found this, so let me start off by thanking her. After working outside Tuesday night, I came in the front door, and my wife IMMEDIATELY told me to start watching what was on OAN. It was an anonymous Rumble video about ivermectin and remdesivir that OAN re-bannered and …
The point is simple.
Benadryl is EVEN SAFER than hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, by many standards, seeing that it is considered safe for OTC, and those other drugs are not.
Benadryl meets the McCullough Criteria – Signals of Benefit and Acceptable Safety.
And Benadryl is already out there – ready to help people get through COVID.
We also have other, more modern antihistamines – PROVEN to save lives from COVID-19, in the Spanish study.
In my opinion, antihistamine therapy is the baseline outpatient therapy that should have been mass-introduced globally, to practically eliminate death from COVID.
But DEEP SCIENCE had other ideas.
Just as I believe there was a conspiracy of interest against hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, I believe there was an even deeper conspiracy against the more readily available antihistamines.
And I believe that unless people answer for these crimes, there will be more like them in the future.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
eleutherophobia
noun
fear of freedom
From Ancient Greek ἐλευθερία (eleuthería, “freedom”) + -phobia.
el-ūth-er-o-fō′bi-a, el-ūth-er-o-mā′ni-a, etc.
Used in a sentence:
The eleutherophobia of many rank-and-file Democrats is a useful tool of the miseleutheric Democrat / Communist leadership. The eleutherophilia if not eleutheromania of the true patriot is rarely found among Democrats these days, thanks to socialist infiltration and control of the party.
Used in a video:
This guy is a bit of a trip – not exactly our style of patriot, but he belongs to an interesting bunch.
They could use a bit more Biblical wisdom, IMO, and perhaps a bit less “woo”, but at least they’re not eleutherophobes.
Prepare to be outraged, even though this story is from over 5 years ago.
A guy who found $2 in credit left on a slot machine, played it before he put his own money into “his” machine, and was PROSECUTED for “fraud” with a big fine. Yup. Any credits left on a machine belong to the house, if a person leaves them. The house then MONITORS this crap on security camera.
So they don’t let the guy pay the $2, but shake him down with arrest, booking, charges, and ultimately a PLEA BARGAIN and a CRIMINAL RECORD. Everybody in the FAKE LEGAL SYSTEM gets rich except the CHUMP, who should have taken it to court, even though there was probably a dirty judge on it, too.
Clearly the whole thing is a SCAM set up with dirty law enforcement. In fact, it would not surprise me if CHUMPS were being set up by the casino (intentionally left machine credits) to take these falls.
Meanwhile, FBI goes after patriotic Americans.
Gambling. It’s just DIRTY. That’s why you won’t find CLOTTERY TICKETS here in WOLF’S PUB.
Meanwhile in Amateur Bartender Land…..
While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we will ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.
Because we did alcohols last week, including menthol, ivermectin, and hydroxychloroquine, we’ll try some amines this week.
Alcohols begin with the structural moiety -OH whereas amines begin with -NH2. The familiar ethanol is CH3-CH2-OH. Replacing the H on the oxygen of alcohols turns them into things which act completely differently (ethers, esters, etc.), and are no longer called alcohols. In contrast, the H atoms of “primary amines” (-NH2) can be replaced (-NH-, -N(-)-, -N=, etc.), and much of the chemical behavior frequently remains, in which case the substances may still be called amines.
This classification scheme for organic substances is complicated, historical, and sensible, but it is also admittedly very obscure.
Think of amines as nitrogen horning on on oxygen‘s act in the alcohol world. Compared to the very familiar ethanol, other alcohols are different enough, but amines create a whole new ball game. For over a century, amines were possibly the biggest act in the world of pharmaceuticals.
The following three amines are second generation antihistamines.
More on these substances later!
Christmas Spirit
As we are going to keep the Christmas spirit going into 2022, you will note that ornaments are still up – including various old favorites from Christmas Past.
First lady Melania Trump tosses an ornament to a child across the table after he tossed one to her as she visits with children in the East Room among the 2017 holiday decorations with the theme “Time-Honored Traditions” at the White House in Washington, Monday, Nov. 27, 2017. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
We will get that tree up, no matter how much flak from the cultural Marxists!
And there will be GIFTS for all, both NAUGHTY and NICE!!!
How did you like those pictures of Trump and MELANIA???
PSSST! Hey, kid! I’ve got some pictures…….
Trump Calendars
People – it’s getting close to the time to make a decision. Do you want a TRUMP CALENDAR for 2022?
I’m going to let you know about TWO of them that you can get. They ship VERY QUICKLY, too!
Official Trump Calendar
This is a GREAT calendar – heavy on military photos – plenty of Melania.
I can vouch for this one – easily worth the $45 minimum donation to SAVE AMERICA – meaning 90% goes to TRUMP’S CONTROL.
Please let us all know in comments if you order either of these and encounter either success or failure.
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!
Current Art On The Wall
First a bit of pub introspection…..
…..and then some comic relief on the wall in the john!
The Clot Shot Casino is CLOSED
The “ever-mouthy” Karl Denninger has just pointed out some numbers in the Danish Omicron data that really change my perception of relative risks and benefits of vaccination – particularly in light of what we now know about common H1 antihistamines as a class essentially preventing death from COVID.
This is less about SIDE EFFECTS (adverse events – whatever) and more about IMMUNITY STRATEGY.
Multiple questions are now answered by this fresh data for a new variant.
First, it’s very clear that the “Wuhan vaccines” are rather BADLY protective against Omicron. While I would not call it a “pandemic of the vaccinated”, the vaccinated ARE over-represented in Omicron cases, and the unvaccinated are under-represented. At least one analyst has speculated that Omicron might have escaped from a laboratory, where it “gained function” in the serum of vaccinees.
The recently boosted have a risk comparable to the unvaccinated, but the vaccinated as a whole are actually MORE LIKELY to get Omicron, which is weird. Combined with the fact found elsewhere, that almost 5% of Danish Omicron patients already had COVID-19, then “Wuhan natural immunity” is suffering its own form of breakthrough as well.
Fine. So the vaccines need boosters, and risks accumulate. The disease is also risky, and not as protective as we had thought.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR.
Let’s look at that fact – that the VACCINATED (overall) are being hammered harder than the unvaccinated, relative to their proportion in the population.
One explanation is that the “unvaccinated” include a bunch of people who were “vaccinated” by the disease, and have SUPERIOR natural immunity.
Another explanation is that the current Wuhan-variant vaccines are immunizing against the now-absent Wuhan variant, but are LOWERING immunity to new and changed variants- perhaps after some initial immunity, but then waning. And THAT is not an unknown phenomenon.
And, of course, there is the third option, that it is BOTH of those two things.
No matter which way it is, this is not good news for the vaccines. This DATA says that – in real life – “natural immunity” / “no vaccine” is a solid form of protection, and is about as good as “boosterism”. Worse than that, for the vaccines, it appears that “missing the booster” (“2 shots” in the table) leaves one EXTREMELY VULNERABLE to the disease – much more so than being totally unvaccinated.
THIS is starting to explain why the CDC is playing WORD GAMES with “unvaccinated”, where they call people who just got vaccinated “unvaccinated” to blame-cast adverse events as disease, tinkering with THOSE numbers, but they ALSO call people who got two shots “unvaccinated” after some time, when those people are actually “vaccinated but now in vaccine failure”.
Don’t play those word games with me, Dr. Fauci. Those “unvaccinated” people TOOK THE JAB. They’re “vaccinated”. And with TIME, vaccination looks to be a LOSER unless you get REVACCINATED.
How about we use the word “revaccinated”? It’s a bit more honest.
ANYWAY……
Thanks to this recent data, and some other earlier thoughts, two things have become CLARITIN CLEAR.
(1) – Nobody needs to die from COVID, because, if the murderous media would simply tell people, there ARE in fact some common, cheap, easy-to-get, over-the-counter drugs that essentially make it impossible to die from the disease, while in the process obtaining superior “natural” immunity.
(2) – Even if one wants to GAMBLE with the vaccines, which offer less “disease” but also less “immunity”, the vaccines seem to make people MORE susceptible to sufficiently mutated coronavirus variants. That is, unless one gets a booster. Thus, they’re ADDICTIVE, just like gambling and smoking, making one DEPENDENT on the vaccines.
Wherein we explain – at three different levels of scientific and political understanding – how ADE-mediated vaccine slavery works. This post is to PREPARE YOU to watch what the other side is doing RIGHT NOW, so you can spot the deceptions. Right now they are DESPERATELY trying to make a FAILING PLAN work. Their plan …
Is that GOOD? Seriously – is that good? Is it “good” to be dependent for your VERY LIFE on vaccines?
I, personally, don’t think so. It’s like making everybody an insulin-dependent diabetic. And look what Joe Biden (really that asshole Obola) just did to diabetics! A thousand dollars a month! Ridiculous. Recombinant insulin was supposed to FREE our diabetics – not make them slaves!
Because of this, it is not really possible for me to recommend the vaccines as anything more than a RISKY CONVENIENCE – a GAMBLE – by which one avoids a biannual, triennial, or maybe (if you’re lucky) decennial cold or flu, but one also becomes dangerously dependent on the vaccines.
THUS, the CLOT SHOT CASINO (and COVIDIUM DEN) is CLOSED.
You are welcome to gamble elsewhere, but we cannot support gambling in this pub.
So let me state this VERY clearly.
If you are aware of the simple CURE for hospitalization and death from COVID itself, then the addictive, immunity-decreasing vaccines make no sense. This is true EVEN neglecting side-effects, which are substantial AND cumulative.
Now – let me be very clear. But I may have to whisper. And you probably won’t believe me, even after I explain it.
How to Hide a Histaminimus
When I was a kid, one of my favorite books was How to Hide a Hippopotamus.
It was a great lesson in concealment. It was the beginning of understanding.
So what does that have to do with today?
Well, I have a theory. And if that theory is right……
The true “cure” for COVID was never hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin.
These were silver-plated shiny objects – “real” distractions – that allowed the con-job vaccines to move forward. This is why the con-job shiny objects were SEEDED to us in various ways by the other side, who are tricky as hell. They needed to make sure we reacted in a predictable way.
Remember this one?
Or how about THIS ONE?
See what I’m saying? That episode makes far more sense as a PLANNED DISTRACTION than a real “WOO WOO” tell of the drug they were afraid of.
Hollywood WANTED us pointed in a certain direction, by which our PRE-PLANNED OPPOSITION would proceed according to THEIR timetable.
They KNEW how we would react.
Hydroxy and ivermectin were “working shiny objects” that we would predictably glom onto, while missing the REAL fast and easy solution. Missing the real solution, and glomming onto THEIR crippled partial solutions, controlled and denigrated by the other side, would allow THEIR disingenuous solution – injected spike protein toxin – to move forward unopposed.
The real “cure” – the one that the Spanish doctors and the South African doctor found – was simply to take H1 antihistamines and STOP the second phase of the disease.
That’s all. That’s all that’s needed to make COVID-19 a COLD again. Treat it LIKE a cold used to be treated.
Both first and second generation over-the-counter antihistamines work for this. They attack the ROOT of the deaths from COVID, which is the spike protein hypersensitivity reaction that Dr. Chetty describes, and with which everybody is familiar, although perhaps under a variety of immunological descriptions like “cytokine storm”.
Now I’m not saying that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are not effective treatments. Indeed, they are. The other side HAD to oppose those, precisely because they work, and because they diminish hospitalization and death in a very significant way – especially if started EARLY.
BUT those solutions are controlled and media-deniable by the other side. They were never a threat. They are not something the other side had to HIDE. They are something they had to effectively OPPOSE.
That is why the other side used two different approaches. For hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, they used psychological seeding, media denunciation, and institutional opposition and control. For antihistamines, they used diversion to other drugs, media silence, and institutional delay.
The deeper truth is that, had we learned about over-the-counter antihistamines effectively ending death from COVID in early 2020, it would have cut off their vaccine plot AT THE KNEES.
Imagine, if you will, some intrepid journalists being alerted in early 2020 that the Spaniards or Dr. Chetty had something IN HAND that would prevent death by COVID, and it was something a lot of people were taking already for colds and flu. In fact, most families ALREADY had the cure in their houses, because ANY of the H1 antihistamines will do. Imagine what would have happened to vaccines if a “home cure” would have been a worldwide rumor – and then CONFIRMED by the people themselves – and then trumpeted by the frightened media, should they “defect” from the narrative.
THAT is the secret that could not get out.
But if everybody chased the RIGHT drugs – the ones that THEY could control…… – the ones that THEY could denigrate, and fund studies to “disprove”…….
No problem. For THEM.
Marxist Tedros with communist Agnes Buzyn, who stopped prescription of hydroxychloroquine in France.
Do you now see WHY – at a very deep level – Agnes Buzyn made a show of restricting hydroxychloroquine?
THE MEDIA was the real weapon. There was no “walking back” the cure that was already out there, everywhere. They had to make sure we followed the cure that they controlled.
I’m not saying that Agnes Buzyn KNEW this, any more than President Trump KNEW that hydroxychloroquine was a calculated proffering to conceal a more critical weakness. People are led, misled, ordered to do things, and ordered not to do things, knowing that they will respond in certain ways.
I do think the liar Fauci may have known about antihistamines.
In fact, I suspect that VERY FEW people knew the truth about antihistamines, before the COVID release. Maybe only the TOP cabal actors.
Sometimes we have biases on the treatment side. Some folks like hydroxychloroquine. Some folks like ivermectin. Some like fluvoxamine. The list goes on.
The other side did NOT have a BIAS in opposing, controlling, silencing, or otherwise negating the threat of ANY and ALL of the treatment options.
They had a STRATEGY.
Now, I have a similar approach. I like ALL the treatment options, because they all save lives.
Right now, though, I favor bringing attention to antihistamines for a STRATEGIC reason.
It is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to kill us with COVID if we have FOUR THINGS.
A thermometer
An antigen test kit
Antihistamine
Azithromycin (doctors prescribe this easily)
It’s that simple. This is a simplification of the Spanish study into an “at home” cure.
People monitor their temperature
If a fever, then use an antigen test kit
If positive for COVID, take the antihistamine
If pulmonary complications, take the azithromycin
This is simply too easy, and everybody can do it.
Jo Nova has a great blog post on the Spanish study.
There would NEVER have been a push for the mRNA vaccines, or vaccine passports, if enough people – a critical number – had known about the Spanish results in – say – June of 2020.
Even when it was submitted as a paper in September of 2020, if it was big news, it would have complicated the vaccine roll-out. Vaccine passports would NOT have been realistic.
That is why the Spanish study didn’t really see the international light of day, until the vaccines were rolling out, in January 2021.
Received 16 September 2020, Revised 29 December 2020, Accepted 11 January 2021, Available online 16 January 2021.
You will recall that – because Obama and Obama’s people are essentially running the Biden administration – at least until Kamala and Hillary take over – I am blaming the insane and inhumane pricing of insulin squarely on the REAL acting President…..
OBOLA.
Now – I used to call Obola “Obola” all the time, back during his cavalier attitude toward Ebola, back in the day.
Little did I realize that the Ebola crisis was all a PSY-OP of the GRANDEST order.
We can now see that Obola was priming the right to run like a bull at the red cape of “airborne Ebola” which was used to deceive us about the lethality of COVID-19.
Obola’s cavalier attitude toward Ebola virus was 100% intentional. That’s easy to see, now.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR!
Thanks to Deplorable Patriot, J.P. Sears, and Holly, we now have additional proof that the Ebola psy-op was definitely part of the COVID plot.
Let’s start here.
For now, just understand that A.416 was a BILL that would have empowered “Cuomo in a skirt”, Kathy Hochul, to have almost limitless dictatorial powers.
Let’s just save that tweet image, since COMMIES love to hide evidence.
We know this guy Nick Perry is a commie, because Aubergine did research tying him to the reelection campaign of Percy Sutton, one of the BIGGEST communists of the MASSIVELY communist, red diaper, Sutton family, which – again – Aubergine has deeply researched.
A while ago, Wolfmoon mentioned the name Percy Sutton in a response to my inquiry about what type of material he wanted for the site while he was away. Wolfmoon stated: “I also have an interest in “red diaper theory”, so the genealogy of all “red diaper lineages” is of interest. I have some projects …
Oh, Percy Sutton was one of the KEY communists in New York City. If Nick Perry was close to this guy, you can COUNT on secret membership, and very likely a DIAPER, too.
For a humorous yet very serious take, I give you Mr. Magnesium himself!
Yeah. So a guy strongly connected to a notorious NYC communist proposes a BILL during the phony Ebola crisis, over 5 years ago, which languishes until it’s needed NOW, in the phony COVID crisis, for New York State to go FULL COMMIE.
You know what……..
And if you’re wondering where communism REALLY comes from…..
Minion Meets Master
I don’t get clear demonstrations like this very often, of something which is a strong signal of SATANIC ACTIVITY. Thus, it’s important that I share it with you.
I think it’s pretty clear at this point that the Kardashian world of “people who are famous for being famous” is more than a little connected to YOU KNOW WHO…..
In fact, let’s remind ourselves, who the latest “famiac” in the Kardashian-Jenner tribe happens to be.
I won’t spend time unraveling the twisted relationships in “Kardashian World”, but between the Jenner klan, Kanye West, and Travis Scott, it’s 200 proof Hollywood.
For those who want to dig into the relationships (not recommended), start HERE.
From what I read elsewhere, she was more of an “ex” business manager, but she was actively working that bunch and others.
I will spare you the gruesome details, but not my conclusion – that this was the evil one collecting his due.
Do NOT – I repeat – DO NOT get involved with this stuff. Keep it at bay. STAY AWAY.
A certain amount of AWARENESS is good. “Wise as serpents” is a survival skill in spiritual warfare. We need some folks who train to see the traps. But it helps not to get jaded, familiar, or worst of all comfortable with the dark side. Periodic REVULSION is necessary.
What you are seeing here is the CONSUMPTION of those who make deals with the devil. They are CONSUMED IN THE FLAMES of the EVIL ONE when their usefulness is over.
I am sure this talented lady was well-rewarded for promoting the people she promoted, but she was likewise promoting everything at the top of Satan’s wish list for humanity.
In the end she was consumed, Ninth Gate-style.
I will skip the image of Frank Langela consumed in flames – and stick with this one.
Don’t make deals with this stuff – even small ones.
Are y’all good? AMEN! So STAY THAT WAY.
General Flynn on Exposing TRUTH
After Gen. Flynn’s “misunderstanding” (at best) or misrepresentation (at worst) of that rather culty Christian prayer in the name of the angel Michael as being “Catholic”, when it was clearly at best “small c catholic” (meaning under the umbrella of all Christianity, multi-schismatic or not, and even including “weird AF New Age”), I honestly feel a bit of a chafe under my very loose collar to be quoting Flynn on ANYTHING related to the subject of “exposing truth”.
I mean, the guy is a spy. Disinformation has to be a huge part of the job.
However, none of that diminishes what he says here. So just take a listen.
The inspection [of dominion machines] had been scheduled for earlier this month but the [PA] state attorney general and secretary of state oddly sued to prevent any such move to affirm the accuracy of the 2020 election results.
[per the court] It’s now set for Jan. 10.”
While everyone is fighting back on the covid insanity, watching the results of the Maxwell trial outcome, still reeling from outrageous illegal and massive border crossings, the lies and deceit of the 1/6 insurrection crucifixion (read Revolver and follow Darren Beattie), etc, etc…
The truth will always rise to the top. Those that live in the darkness will be destroyed by the light of the truth.
Keep doing all you can to expose the truth…I know it is not easy and it takes time to discover, research and read or listen to the various interviews, but do it for the good of our country and our kids.
Elements (elected and unelected) within our USG are so corrupt, it is disgusting. However, with the right attitude, leadership, discipline, and focus, much of this corruption can be cleaned up.
Get involved! Make Local Action your thing and do more for your community and our country 🙏🏼🇺🇸
Wolf again. I think he’s got that right.
The truth WILL rise to the top.
Sometimes, that truth may make US sweat a little bit – like when I have to admit that I was a cheerleader for the vaccines before they became the “clot shot”. But that’s OK. We can’t always be RIGHT. But we CAN always TRY to be right. Even after we fail. Maybe ESPECIALLY after we fail.
And – ironically – that is both SCIENCE and – for some of us – RELIGION.
Happy New Year, y’all. Please STAY SAFE. Don’t drink and drive, yada, yada, yada.
If you DO go out and party, and you’ve not had COVID recently (Delta or later), then spend the next FOUR DAYS (incubation period) collecting everything you need to get through a wonderful case of the traveling vaccine, OMICRON.
(Or OBOLA, as I am starting to call it.)
Assuming you don’t have ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, you need:
Wolf’s COVID Care Package
Thermometer (thermal digital is easiest)
Antigen test kit(s) (yeah, good luck finding one)
Antihistamine of your choice (Claritin, Zyrtec, and Allegra are the easiest – 1-2 a day)
Aspirin (regular, or low-dose if your stomach doesn’t like it – 1 a day)
Listerine or Betadine mouthwash/gargle for mouth and throat
Vitamin D, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, Multivitamin including Selenium.
Quercetin (including natural sources) or Green Tea
Saline or other nasal spray, rinse, or wash of your choice
The thermometer tells you when to use your precious test kit – when you suddenly have a fever and a sore or tingly throat.
The test kit gets you a positive diagnosis that opens doors for things like antibodies, or an official test.
A positive test means you can BEGIN TREATMENT at THERAPEUTIC DOSES.
The antihistamine insures that YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT DIE, because it stops the second, allergic, inflammatory stage of COVID in its tracks.
The aspirin makes doubly sure you won’t get clots, but be careful – don’t take it if you’ve had trouble with aspirin. Talk to your doctor if unsure.
The gargles (Listerine or Betadine) massively reduce viral load and speed time to recovery.
The saline and nasal washes lower viral load, and maintain nasal breathing.
The quercetin and green tea help zinc’s antiviral action by increasing cellular zinc levels.
The vitamins and mineral supplements keep you at antiviral levels of these things. In particular, zinc and vitamin D3 need to be at non-deficient levels.
Please consult authoritative sources from TRUE medical doctors like the ones at https://flccc.net.
Now – THAT is your physical health.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR!
Your SPIRITUAL HEALTH is – in my opinion – what really matters. I strongly recommend DAILY readings from the Bible. Doesn’t have to be much. Whether it’s Duchess’s comments, or a daily reading from a pocket devotional, if you get in the habit of thinking about the Bible EVERY DAY, you will do GREAT.
Thank you all for being here. Have a wonderful 2022.

9 In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes[a] (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian[b] kingdom— 2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. 3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.
There are days that I’m DAMN GLAD our beautiful FLOTUS Melania is finally getting a break, but still – the ILLEGITIMACY of the Biden administration BURNS LIKE A TORCH.
If we have a second Trump Administration, I hope the Deep State gets put down like a RABID DOG in the process, if they try ANYTHING that even remotely resembles what they did the first time.
Like “fortifying” the election. GAWD, how cynical.
HA! FU, commies. WE’RE WISE.
I think they’re nervous they won’t be able to pull off an even half-way believable electoral coup this time. CREEPS.
From what I understand, the military traitors who assisted the coup are now nervous, and this is responsible for those 3 Democrat generals making the weird noises of worry about another “insurrection”.
HA!
GOOD. They should be nervous. They’re partially responsible for all this crap we’re going through, including the Afghanistan exit debacle. SHAME!
IDIOTS!
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, and we will get through it STRONGLY.
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading a second or third time.
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.
EXAMPLE:
Flatards and spherecucks are both welcome here. The spherecucks make it difficult to question our deep respect and love for modern science, despite our rabid love of God. The flatards not only demonstrate our willingness to be singly, doubly, and triply skeptical – they provide cover to our friends, who can easily say “But those people actually discuss FLAT EARTH on that site.”
Keeping this site easily but incorrectly discredited is part of our strategy.
We don’t want credit. We want the TRUTH to WIN. All we need is for the HIDDEN TRUTH to “get out”. People with greater credibility and reach need never mention us.
Anyway, our approach requires civility. You may disagree in a civil fashion.
Those who do not adhere to this minimal standard – this minimal but sadly requisite infringement of Free Speech – will be placed in moderation. This regrettable state will continue until we have such software that allows members to individually take responsibility for their own moderation.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
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 even pray for our enemies, the Demonic Communist Democrats, as well, per the advice of the most popular rabbi around here. Letting them know about antihistamines for COVID is one of my new strategies. Feel free to save a few Democrat lives with generic loratadine, or brand names if they insist.
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
For your listening enjoyment, and general encouragement, we continue Wheatie’s tradition of fine music videos, brought up in nets from the seas of information by our intrepid authors.
It’s still Christmas, as far as I’m concerned. Doubts about the actual birthday of Christ are a perfect excuse to keep Christmas going until spring, whether the doubts are founded or unfounded.
Christ is opportunity!
OK – let’s try ANOTHER country Christmas song with a little more TOE-TAPPIN’ for y’all.
And while we remember that great Patty Loveless and friends singing about the amazing faith of Daniel of the Bible……
…..let’s enjoy another trio effort with a more Christian-era spin on forgiveness, and a timeless spin on sin.
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.
“WE HAVE LIFT-OFF!”
Featured Story – Didier Raoult
Didier Raoult, who was critical in getting antiviral therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2 launched with hydroxychloroquine, has not been sleeping.
The FAIL MEDIA has apparently been ignoring critical work that Raoult has been part of, including a very powerful paper which shows that SARS-CoV-2 moves in and out of animal populations, where it can mutate and gain function.
The reasoning presented in the paper is really convincing.
Here are two links to this critical and fairly understandable paper.
Emergence and outcomes of the SARS-CoV-2 ‘Marseille-4’ variant
To show you how much of a CHAMP this guy Raoult is, just check out this “update” paragraph added after acceptance for publication.
Since the final acceptance of this article, the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 genome obtained from a farm mink sampled the 15th of November, 2020 in Eure-et-Loire was eventually released the 29th of March, 2021 (EPI_ISL_1392906). As we suspected and stated in the present article, this genome is strictly identical to the genome of a Marseille-4 variant confirming our hypothesis of a common source of this variant between French minks and humans.
The “gain of function” of the variant was increased hypoxia. This is the OPPOSITE of what we see with Omicron, which spreads faster with reduced hospitalization.
Did China use minks, ferrets, or similar animals to make Original Wuhan more deadly? SHAME!!!
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR.
Raoult and his buddies looked at the bigger spread of variants as part of the “waves” of disease.
THIS amazing article by Raoult and his French buddies shows why CONTROLLED BORDERS are one of the best ways to stop the disease, by stopping the spread of variants.
Yeah, you’re not gonna hear THAT on Fake News.
Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 variants from 24,181 patients exemplifies the role of globalisation and zoonosis in pandemics
Geek out on the ABSTRACT, or go straight to the HIGHLIGHTS for the WOW signal!
Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 the virus responsible for the current pandemic. This virus is continually evolving, adapting to both innate and acquired immune responses and therapeutic drugs. Therefore, it is important to understand how the virus evolving to design the appropriate therapeutic and vaccine in preparation for future variants. Here, we used the online SARS-CoV-2 databases, Nextstrain and Ourworld, to map the evolution and epidemiology of the virus. We identified 30 high entropy residues which underwent a progressive evolution to arrive at the current dominant variant – Delta variant. The virus underwent mutational waves with the first wave made up of structural proteins important in its infectivity and the second wave made up of the ORFs important for its contagion. The most important driver of the second wave is ORF8 mutations at residue 119 and 120. Further mutations of these two residues are creating new clades that are offshoots from the Delta backbone. More importantly the further expansion of the S protein in the Omicron variant is now followed with the acquisition of ORF8 mutations 119 and 120. These findings demonstrate how SARS-CoV-2 mutates and points to two evolutionary paths; 1) Mutational expansion on the Delta backbone among the ORFs and 2) Mutational expansion of the S protein on other backbone follow with mutational wave among the ORFs. Both are happening at the same time right now with the Omicron variant early in the first wave to follow with a more aggressive second wave of mutations.
HIGHLIGHTS Mutational waves in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2. S protein as the driver of the first wave improving the minimum inhaled viral load required to cause infection and ORF8 mutations 119 and 120 as the driver of the second mutational wave to improve the Contagion Airborne Transmission value.
Wolf here – so it clearly “wants” to be “more airborne”. Did masks help to create mask-bypassing, more airborne variants, in the same way that vaccines helped it generate vaccine-bypassing variants?
Fascinating fact from this paper – the original Wuhan strain was GONE by June of 2020.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
cladogenesis
noun
The formation of a new group of organisms or higher taxon by evolutionary divergence from an ancestral form.
An evolutionary splitting of a parent species into two or more distinct species, forming a clade.
Used in a sentence, a paragraph, and an analogy:
“Scientists of evolution use the term ‘cladogenesis’ to describe the division of an existing species into multiple lines–thus creating new species–often in response to radical change in the environment,” explained Dick Patton, global marketing officer at EgonZehnder, in an Ad Age article. “Marketing appears to be going through a process much like this, right before our eyes. The 21st-century CMO faces an explosively expanding range of options from which to branch out in new directions.”
Used in a picture:
Look closely, with TIME on the X axis, to see the DELTA and OMICRON waves.
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 of unknown duration, we will ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.
I will admit right off the cricket bat that this here substitute bartender doesn’t know jack shit about alcohol compared to our regular one, so he’s going to have to substitute some rather wild and crazy concoctions for the drinks, seeing as he does have some experience with ALCOHOLS OF THE WRONG KIND.
And while we’re at it, THANK GOD FOR INDIA, and another alcohol with medicinal applications!!!

Truthfully, some of the best ideas in science are to be found at local pubs, when the research groups go out and have enough beer and wine to begin saying what they REALLY think about this or that.
So WHO KNOWS what fascinating things might be said in Wolf’s Pub on a Thursday or Friday night?
But first, let’s get the RED TAPE out of the way.
VERBATIM, from the regular bartender.
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!
And TGIF!
And thus a moment of thanks to ALL our contributors, current, past, and future!
H/T DP for this one!
Current Art On The Wall
Every bar needs some art on the wall, and seeing that we’re a virtual bar with access to millions of digital counterfeit prints, you may find more than just “Dogs Playing Poker”. That said…..
A Late Nod To Hanukkah
I totally missed Hanukkah this year. I was planning on doing a post, but this year, Hanukkah fell PRECISELY during my bout with Delta, and my quarantine period afterwards, and I just blew it off.
Well, better late than never.
Indeed, I think it’s pretty cool that I was “counting the days” during my illness – with Hanukkah falling on “Day 2” – the height of my illness – and finishing on “Day 9” – completely recovered and feeling great.
I love these pictures of President Trump and FLOTUS Melania – she really looked happy at this White House Hanukkah celebration.
Nothing can take away the FOUR GREAT YEARS of the Trump Presidency. Nothing. They will live forever. And for some weird reason, the story of Hanukkah reminds me of the story of the Trump Presidency.
And THAT story is not over yet!
Vaccine Stuff
This is just an image! Don’t click it!
If you have not seen the video of President Trump with Candace Owens, then give SUNDANCE a click (below) and watch the video over there. Hat Tip to WSB for alerting me to this great video. She also has a comment over there, and HERE, too. Be sure to watch to the end! You won’t regret it.
This week has seen quite a bit of WTF, one might say, with “Dear Leader” “Chidin’ Biden” wagging his Bill Clinton FINGER OF NO SLEEPY NO CREEPY at the unwashed unvaxxed, but we’ve got better things to do, than to listen to that lying old coot.
Go sniff somebody else’s hair, Fake President! #FJB!!!
How about, instead, I drink a bit too much ginger ale, and tell you all how I believe Bill Gates sabotaged hydroxychloroquine? With the aid of some people who we all know VERY well? Have a seat! It’s quite a story.
How (IMO) Bill Gates Sabotaged HCQ
You all are the first to hear this story.
Let’s start off by listening to two Steves – Bannon and Hatfill – talking REALITY about OMICRON.
The “traveling vaccine”, as Dr. Hatfill calls it. This is short – 4 minutes.
So this guy understands the DUPLICITY – the SABOTAGE – the DECEIT – that actually goes on in science.
That duplicity is well-represented by the recent guilty verdicts against the former Chairman of the Harvard chemistry department, Dr. Charles Lieber. You know – that guy who was helping the ChiComs with their “Thousand Talents [OF SILVER] Program”, and hiding his take from the feds.
NEW: Harvard professor Charles Lieber was just found guilty on all 6 charges related to lying to the FBI & concealing his lucrative ties to CCP’s Thousand Talents Program & Wuhan University of Technology while receiving millions in funding from NIH & DOD.https://t.co/EfyxXzv0gp
The thing is, I discovered even MORE about how HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE was knifed in the back by the enemies of truth.
Do you all remember that GREAT video on Vitamin D in preventing COVID-19?
Well, this Doc, Roger Seheult, has ANOTHER video that I was looking at, where he talks about the vaccines. And you have to be wondering “GREAT! Is he PRO or ANTI vaccine?”
I would say that he’s definitely PRO-VAX, but not BLINDLY so. More like – the vaccine is a tool, and he’s gonna use it. He treats patients – they’re young and dying – he’s very emotional – he wants to save them – and he believes the vaccine helps. So he tells people – get the vaccine.
He’s also marginally supportive of research on ivermectin, but he’s NOT gonna buck the system by advocating current use. He does NOT seem to have very much discernment about DECEIT and CORRUPTION in science, IMO. He’s a bit of an innocent, or even a chump, just like most people in science, who think the whole thing is a zone of trust, relatively free of deception and trickery.
Here is the video.
This is actually really good stuff, but if you’re looking for ammo against vaccines, this is not it. This is more like a “good doctor” trying to convince you – with mostly good data – but in some places weak data – to take the vaccine.
I can almost see it. ALMOST. But not quite. Not for me, certainly. My “medical advisor” who says “what in the HELL happened to contraindications and the VERBOTEN status of vaccination during pregnancy?” says “NO”.
HOWEVER, if you’re looking for where the pro-vax side is WEAK and DEFENSIVE, this is also a great video. You can see where they’re in trouble, and where they’re avoiding things, and where they’re grasping at straws. It’s very edgy scientific detective work, but I read these people pretty well.
More on THAT stuff in a full post to come.
This dude doesn’t want to lose his channel. Bottom line. But you can read past some of what is said.
So first, BEFORE we get to the BIG CRIME, a small sidebar.
Sidebar: Dr. Geert is Right Again
There is a slide in Doc Rogers’ video that PROVES ONE MORE TIME that Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche is TOTALLY RIGHT.
Dr. Roger is showing this to us, to emphasize that younger and younger people are being hospitalized with COVID now – that pediatric cases are increasing, as Delta is taking over. This is part of why the DOCTORS are pushing to vaccinate kids. They’re getting more and more young adult, teen and pediatric cases in the hospitals. It’s an emotional strain on them to watch young people die.
But there is a problem.
MASS VACCINATION ITSELF IS CAUSING THIS PHENOMENON.
This is EXACTLY what Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche has been warning about. EXACTLY.
People have got to start listening to this dude.
Bill Gates’ CEO, who is advising Joe Biden, was an adjunct professor of epidemiology. Surely she can understand Geert. But she’s also on Pfizer’s board. That’s a problem. A real conflict of interest. Geert is an epidemiologist, and he is predicting all this stuff like clockwork. Maybe she should take a listen.
BUT – back to the story…..
Of the ASSHOLES who are pushing vaccination…..
By INTERFERING with science…..
By UNDERMINING science at the most basic levels.
So you see by that example – the slide of hospital age groups – what is so great about these sorts of videos is that these docs and experts will pop out the convincer graphs and references, and you can either screen capture like above, or GO TO THE SOURCE.
OR go somewhere ELSE they don’t want you to look.
So LATER in this Dr. Roger video, immediately after a rather prog-chauvinistic, hand-waving excuse why certain positive foreign studies of ivermectin should be dismissed (pure Fauci shade-throwing – go to 1:22:30), he mentions some American study – which was NOT LancetGate – that he says disproved hydroxychloroquine.
He just throws that in as an aside – but that’s BULLSHIT.
HCQ isn’t GREAT, but it works when given very early, it has saved MANY lives, and there is simply no doubt about it, at this point. So the good doctor is LOSING credibility with me right there. He’s following close, but he’s not following close enough, because he’s clearly trusting NIH, CDC, and Fauci.
He’s a chump – and he can be fooled by flowing along with the similarly chumped mainstream of science. He’s inside the big deceit – he has no reference frame.
So what IS this study that “disproved” HCQ? Screenshot:
This thing was called the “Together COVID Trial”. And it’s still out there.
These ad hoc COVID trials have been taking place in CANADA and BRAZIL – both of which make Suspicious Cat *immediately* purr “serious communist problems in both places” – and if you recall that French communist, Agnes Buzyn, who very stealthily took HCQ out of OTC status in France, you understand that this is significant.
Union communists and other embeds make GREAT footsoldiers. They’ve infiltrated medicine – they’ve infiltrated science – they’ve infiltrated universities, and hospitals – and they do the dirty jobs, where a spy would otherwise be required. My first exposure was in a university scandal, and that was just the beginning. I’ve had to deal with top-shelf university science commies on this very site. They tried to pull a really fast one on us, back at the beginning of COVID. They are dead serious in this big attempt to install WORLD COMMUNISM.
ANYWAY – back to the story.
At THAT point, I remembered something Bill Gates said on TV – the ONLY time he mentioned hydroxychloroquine. He said that “WE” would have to do studies on it.
As soon as I heard that, I rolled my eyes. Oh, yeah. FOX in the freakin’ hen-house.
“We have to STUDY the chickens.”
What a joke.
I have always felt that Gates was behind Surgisphere and LancetGate, the biggest hit job EVER on hydroxychloroquine, which was retracted, but I have yet to find evidence of his involvement – and I have looked several times.
HOWEVER, it turns out that Gates WAS behind the studies of hydroxychloroquine that killed people by overdoses, while giving it too late to save them.
Yeah. That’s convenient. That combination of two crucial errors is diagnostic for a very professional scientific kill job, BTW. When you REALLY want it dead, wooden cross and silver bullet. A scientific double-tap.
See? You learn something every day.
So I’m thinking – well, maybe GATES is behind THESE STUDIES.
So then I go looking to see who is behind them, and this is what I see.
AH! So who’s that?
I went after “Rainwater” first, because I was thinking “Oh, yeah, baby – this sounds like the Tides Foundation” – that being the “charity” by which John Kerry and his rich wife send all kinds of seed money to left-wing operations.
But I check it out, and it’s just some Texan good old boy named Rainwater who left his fortune as a foundation, and at worst, the money got pointed to help Gates by some lefty kid or nephew. More likely an alumnus story or something like that.
The way this org is set up, the people who choose the grant proposals get a gazillion begs, from which the operation can pick and choose. And there is nothing that can prevent a secret reach-around where the choosers or their puppets can SEND THEIR OWN PUPPET PROPOSALS INTO THE SCAM.
See how that works? Very slick.
So who funds the begs?
The grants are currently supported by: Arnold Ventures, The Audacious Project, The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, John Collison, Patrick Collison, Crankstart, Jack Dorsey, Kim and Scott Farquhar, Paul Graham, Reid Hoffman, Fiona McKean and Tobias Lütke, Yuri and Julia Milner, Elon Musk, Chris and Crystal Sacca, Schmidt Futures, and others. AWS has contributed compute credits.
OK. This is so easy, I’m gonna leave some of these names for everybody else. But this thing is so full of “usual suspects”, it should be a movie.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is Facebook, which incidentally had – until right after COVID was released – a BOARD MEMBER and DIRECTOR who happened to be the CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation – a lady named Dr. Susan Desmond-Hellman – who recently joined the board of Pfizer – and is also now one of Joe Biden’s presidential science advisers. I mentioned her above.
Hellman was appointed to the social media platform’s board in March 2013 and served as it Lead Independent Director from June 2015 until October 30th 2019, shortly before the first reported case of COVID-19.
Is the Directed Evolution of Variants – Something Deeply Understandable to Joe Biden’s Science Advisors – Being Abused by the Corporate-Government-Academic Axis? Yeah, you remember that one! Several hat tips to Sundance on this one, too. It’s now becoming very clear that the mercenary Bill Gates getting involved with healthcare was one of the LAST …
So we have BILL GATES linked to, and MARK ZUCKERBERG and his CHICOM WIFEY funding, a study that tried to take down HCQ, and certainly seems to have influenced a lot of doctors against it.
SMART. Influence the docs, but do it quietly and behind the scenes – so there’s not so much outrage stirred up like LancetGate, which outraged the scientific community, and caused those two journal editors to squawk excuses in the “leaked” telephone conversation.
Less visibility, but more long-term effect. I really think this is why a lot of doctors “gave up” on hydroxy.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR.
Who else is behind Fast Grants?
CHOOMER RASPUTIN – a.k.a. Jack Dorsey, of Twitter.
It’s a small world at the top of the COUP, ain’t it?
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR.
Who’s the last person on that list? It’s not who you think.
“AWS has contributed compute credits.”
AWS is Amazon Web Services. That’s the CIA. So THEY’RE handling the computers in some way. They likely had INSIGHT into all the trials.
Does this all make sense now?
Good.
Now – I have not looked at this paper yet, which knifed HCQ in the back – nor have I looked at one of the Together Trial studies of ivermectin which they also did, which found no utility.
I’m sure I will look at these papers at some point, but I’m lazy, and it’s late, and my wife wants me to go to bed.
But with these tips, I’m certain that some intrepid HONEST scientists out there will now find obvious problems with the studies. Because they’re gonna be there, trust me.
This is the state of science. It is extraordinarily manipulable. And one of the BEST ways to manipulate it, is to FUND IT, and then have access and control that is hidden from the public.
That’s life in the big city.
Bottom line – I think this is one piece of the puzzle of how hydroxychloroquine was taken down. MULTIPLE HITS by Bill Gates. The man was NOT taking any chances.
Christmas Eve
I could let this post end with a story of science corruption, but that’s not how things end. That’s never how things end.
You see – there was this guy named Jesus, and he was all about bringing GOD (or G_D, if you prefer) to the low-lifes. The tax collectors. The prostitutes. The immigrants. The wise guys. People like me. People like the people I understand. People like us. People like all of us.
There are a lot of things I could talk about, relating to the Kingdom of Heaven, and how it’s a lot closer than people realize, but what’s funny about THAT, is that it’s a lot like some of the things we run into here, in our efforts to shine the light of Truth on things.
The small stuff is easy to write off, and the big stuff is protected by unbelievability.
But nevertheless, I won’t give up, trying to get others to see the beauty of it all.
That the big party really is there.
That we’re all invited.
And that it really is ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS.
I don’t approach Christianity like most people. I use the Bible to try to understand the nature of reality. I try to understand what Christ was telling us at a weird and deep level, because I’ve found that his “thought experiments”, if you will, were always consistent on many levels of interpretation, and they help me to see – with more beauty and less words – what he meant.
I trust now for different reasons than I trusted before, but I still trust.
Anyway, Christmas is a time to reflect on Christ. And interestingly, this year, it’s really working for me.
I hope I can help you to do the same!
Merry Christmas, friends and neighbors. Posters and lurkers. Believers and skeptics. Allies and enemies.
There’s room for you all at a certain place in this town. Or very close by.
