“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism.

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!
Maybe even handily!
And we will have fun doing it, too!
The Rules
TL;DR –
Wheatie’s Rules:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
Call To Battle
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year:
sigint
noun
signals intelligence; information gained by the collection and analysis of the electronic signals and communications of a given target
intelligence information gathered from communications intelligence or electronics intelligence or telemetry intelligence
Used in a sentence:
A variety of sigint was used against Trump’s supporters on January 6, 2021, and in return, sigint was used against Democrats and China during 2021 and 2022, in order to prove that Trump’s supporters were correct on January Sixth.
After all, when is the last time the “Joint Terrorism Task Force” actually arrested a real live foreign terrorist, and not a “racist” American livestreamer, a politically convenient “red flag law” patsy, or a box of documents from a former President?
It’s kinda funny, but when I saw the biography of the Palm Beach sheriff who helped the EVIL FIB raid President Trump, I could not help but notice the letters “JTTF“.
You see, I knew what that meant. “Joint Terrorism Task Force“.
But the difference was, THIS TIME, I knew EXACTLY who those “terrorists” are, that “JTTF” was designed to go after.
That’s right, American brothers and sisters.
It’s YOU and ME who are the “terrorists” JTTF was created for.
And maybe Presidents that YOU and ME might vote for.
It took me a while to figure out why the “JTTF” just keeps growing and growing – and expanding and expanding – when actual, real terrorism just keeps declining here in America.
WE are the “terrorists” they’re going to go after.
WE are the “domestic violent extremists” they will pursue.
WE are the dangerous people who require a special group of state and local law enforcement agencies who are forced to follow the FBI’s “training” and “lead”.
Yeah, baby, you see where this is going now, don’t you?
But let me explain just a bit more.
I got clued into this “JTTF” back when a harmless but crazy guy who I christened “Red Flag Poster Boy” happened on the scene in Portland Oregon.
Intro: Comey’s Giant Plot I’m surprised it took me THIS LONG to see how Comey’s multi-layered scam worked, but hey – James Comey is one slick bastard, as you can tell from his long and complex play against President Trump. Why, Comey’s REALLY BIG PLOT is still unfolding right now. His CRAP is of an …
If you bother to read that rather long article, you’ll see that I know a thing or two about how patsies, informants, and other politically useful victims are “groomed” by the FBI.
You can skip over this article unless you’re dying to know everything about this patsy, “Red Flag Poster Boy”, and my opinions about how he was created.
The main point being that this dubious if not hilarious “politically perfect” guy showed up outside the MAYOR of Portland’s house, making the perfect case for “red flag laws” in Oregon – and maybe even nationally, thanks to the convenient national media coverage. AND this whole episode was handled by – YOU GUESSED IT – the “JTTF” in Oregon – which didn’t want to give too many details to the press – at least, beyond the original “propaganda payload”. It was all very “McCabe”, so to speak.
The FBI declined to provide additional details about the case or answer questions submitted by The Oregonian/OregonLive.
“The Portland JTTF’s role is to assess, address, and mitigate any given threat against the people of Oregon appropriately,” Beth Anne Steele, a spokeswoman for the bureau’s Portland office said in an email Friday.
“Sometimes that mitigation takes the form of criminal prosecution, and sometimes it involves a holistic response, including consultation with threat assessment teams or others to divert a person before a significant violent crime occurs.”
So JTTF is looking pretty sketchy at that point, but it gets worse.
If you think that the FBI had a bad look here, “taking a knee” with BLM….
…..wait until you see what’s next.
If you combine those folks right there with their “JTTF” local gophers, and send them all on a mission to take down a “racist livestreamer on Telegram”, you get THIS, as featured on “Yahoo / ATT Something”:
Feds Arrest White Supremacist Livestreamer in Dawn Raid, Rattling Supporters
Will Sommer
March 2, 2021·2 min read
The FBI arrested a notorious white supremacist livestreamer in an early morning raid in Florida on Tuesday.
FBI agents, working with Fort Lauderdale police and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, arrested Paul N. Miller, 32, on one charge of being a “convicted felon in possession of a firearm.” The FBI said in a press release that Miller was arrested without incident.
Miller’s neighbors in Fort Lauderdale’s Riverside neighborhood reported hearing flashbangs during the raid, which took place around 5 a.m. ET, local TV station NBC 6 reported. One neighbor described seeing law enforcement officers carrying out a box that appeared to have “a shotgun on the front or an AK.”
Miller, who goes by the name “Gypsy Crusader” online, has amassed more than 40,000 followers on Telegram, a messaging app and social media network popular with far-right extremists. Many of Miller’s videos feature him dressing up as characters like the Joker or Nintendo’s Mario, then hurling racial abuse at strangers, including children, through the randomized chat app Omegle. Miller can be seen holding a gun in some of his videos.
A grand jury indicted Miller on the firearms charge on Feb. 25, according to court records unsealed Tuesday. Miller is charged with illegally possessing a gun on Jan. 17, 2018. The indictment doesn’t describe the 2018 incident in which Miller allegedly had the firearm.
Miller’s Tuesday arrest sent shockwaves through internet extremist circles. Miller had recently sold patches promoting his channel to his supporters, with his arrest raising fears among other extremists that the FBI could access his customer files and find out their own names and addresses.
In messages captured by extremism researcher Hilary Sargent, Miller’s supporters worried about the possibility that they could soon become FBI targets themselves.
If convicted, Miller faces up to 10 years in prison on the gun charge.
Just read this crap. I mean, REALLY?
We have a guy who doesn’t actually appear to be a violent criminal, but who used a gun as a prop in videos, and who uses “racist” language, being arrested by the “JTTF” for using the gun as a prop when not being able to own guns – at least, that’s what it looks like to me.
Racist language? Owning a gun when “not allowed”? And you called out the freaking “Joint Terrorism Task Force”? Because you could label him a “white supremacist”?
He’s a fucking “YouTuber” who’s not even on YouTube! He’s a PUTZ. He’s a NEBBISH.
Crap. From the looks of it, he’s not even “white” – or could claim more “POC” clout than most “spokespocs” out there. The dude is the Shaun King of AOCs if he wants it.
This is BULLSHIT and you all KNOW IT.
This guy was arrested because he makes fun of REGIME VALUES and has a following online.
Some fat angry libtard purple-haired trans lesbian doxxer presumably phoned it in that the guy had a gun but had something on his record – AMIRIGHT?
And the FBI is now being PUSHED to make everything about “domestic violent extremism” – AMIRIGHT?
And “white supremacist” – which he likely isn’t even THAT in reality – is close enough for media hand grenades – AMIRIGHT?
Because that is how you have to build up your army to go after conservatives when January Sixth didn’t give you all the amount of PRETEXT you needed – AMIRIGHT?
Look, friends. Nothing good is going to come from continuing this JTTF charade.
JTTF is a way for bizarre, messed-up, leftist FBI values to undermine sane state, county, and local law enforcement.
SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN. GET OUT OF IT. TELL THE FEDS TO GO HOME TO WASHINGTON.
You know it’s the right thing to do. And if you don’t, it will only bring trouble.
Mark my words.

THIS IS NOT REALITY, OTHER THAN THE VERY VISIBLE POLITICS. THIS IS HOLLYWOOD EMOTIONAL SALES.
What if I could explain every head-scratcher of the “pandemic” with a simple idea – that vaccination is the ideal format for introducing real, workable, tunable, and long-running “population control” into socialized medicine without anybody really noticing or caring?
Intro to the Intro
It’s one of those things that – once you see it – you simply cannot unsee it.
Like the “Buffalo Jump” series I did on the January 6 plot against “those pesky patriots”, there is WAY too much information here for a single post.
Indeed, it is quite possible for me to take the title idea – that the COVID vaccines are humanity’s first significant attempt at a population control shot – and go back over the ENTIRE history of “COVID-19”, and make it all make sense.
Yes. It’s THAT BIG, and THAT USEFUL.
And one of the ways I’m going to help make this make sense, is to argue FOR THE SHOT. That doesn’t actually mean that I’m FOR this idiotic HOLOCAUST in all capital letters, which makes the “Holocaust” look like spilled beer at a barbecue in comparison. No.
The thing is, you can’t really understand Fauci, Walensky, Gates, Schwab, Cuomo, Clinton, and all the rest, unless you do what the acting coaches tell you – “FIND THEIR MOTIVATION”.
So that’s what we’re going to do.
The First Big Dodge
OH – and by the way – if you just look at all those names I listed above, I only see two “maybe” Jews in the bunch. And it’s not like I know which temple these people go to. For all I know, there’s not a Jew in the bunch, depending on your definition of a Jew.
People are already trying to get out in front of this little democide thing by the SPLC “flyers method” – you know what I’m talking about – setting up charges of “anti-semitism”, which tells me that they know this TORPEDO OF TRUTH hits them at mid-ships, and “THEY” are therefore desperate.
The antisemitism defense is always reached for in desperation. The usual suspects who play Crump and Sharpton games to stay relevant, always chime in, too.
Why, even the genocidally practiced TEDROS and his cronies are getting nervous.
Check out this “flyers method” meme which – thankfully – Valerie Curren found on Gab, where I’ve already dropped a few test posts about my “depopulation” theory. Sure enough, chumming the waters with “we have you suckers” brought up this WHOPPER to the surface.
As I stated in response to Valerie’s comment, yes, there will be lots of “Jews” involved in this thing, but there will be lots of everybody else, too.
So – to critics of our RECOGNITION of the “virtuous global plan to confront the population crisis” – forget about painting this as a “Jewish” plot. EVERYBODY was in on this thing.
Well – ALMOST everybody.
SO – let’s just start RIGHT THERE.
You want to know why Trump “could not be President”? HERE’S YOUR ANSWER.
He wasn’t “in” on the plot – very likely because they KNEW he would object, and could not be “blackmailed, bribed, or controlled” into going along with it.
Exactly the same thing with me. They couldn’t corral me into this plot, so I was always kept at arms length from most of the “secrets of Shallow State”.
Likewise for all the “white hats”. People who live in the light – who DEMAND the light – could not be in on this sucker. Even if they thought “depopulation” might be a good thing.
You see, I actually believe in “depopulation”. I believe that the planet would be better off with fewer people. In fact, I actually thought those damn Guidestones were pretty smart.
The PROBLEM is that people are sorely tempted to do STUPID THINGS to get there.
LIKE MURDER. LIKE DEMOCIDE. LIKE HOLOCAUST.
It doesn’t mean the goal of fewer people sharing the planet is wrong, even if it’s not gospel. It’s just how you get there.
See the new tagline of the site.
“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.”
J. Robert Oppenheimer
When I was a kid, with only a few billion people on Earth, “wilderness” was constantly reclaiming land outside of cities and farms. Even construction dump sites, left alone and given a few years to lay idle, would heal back into glorious wilds with all sorts of fish, animals, and lush plant life.
Let’s be honest. Is that such a bad thing? A world that WORKS? Where every single person has more planet supporting them?
LIKE THINGS USED TO BE? AM I RIGHT – FELLOW CONSERVATIVES? THE PAST WAS ACTUALLY… GOOD?
Humanity has time. There’s no rush. Sure, I agree that we need to have kids, and stay fruitful, but civilization teaches us that we don’t have to live in total squalor. I believe Christ without question, that there will always be poor, because in a rich world, being poor is not only very easy and safe, but it is very ennobling in a world of relative plenty. SEE HISTORY.
Poverty is not the problem. The world needs poor people. But the fewer the people, if we get back to some optimum, some world of plenty, even the POOR are better off. (Note that Elon Musk says he thinks we need MORE people to reach the optimum. I’m not saying he’s wrong.)
Again, I believe that “depopulation” might not be a bad thing. At least, it doesn’t HAVE to be a bad thing.
HOWEVER, I don’t believe in telling even a SINGLE LIE to achieve depopulation. It’s WRONG.
Furthermore, “group suicide by lottery”, which is what these damn shots really are, is SINFUL, and must be rejected by Jews and Christians – and I would argue good Muslims as well (meaning the ones who don’t “suicide”). The clot shot is not a proper martyrdom for ANYBODY, IMO.
I did not have any religious opposition to these shots earlier – all of my objections were medical and scientific. But NOW, however, I have to add a religious objection. These shots are medically worthless compared to disease-conferred immunity, AND they are part of an effort to cause statistical shortening of life AND abortion.
Sorry – no can do – nor should any believer in God, IMO.
But let’s get back to something I said.
Virtue Depends On The Observer
Remember what I said earlier – what I called the plot…..
“the virtuous global plan to confront the population crisis”
Notice that when I put it THAT WAY, it doesn’t sound half bad. In fact, in “libtard” circles, it sounds pretty heroic.
ARE YOU STARTING TO SEE WHY PEOPLE DID THIS?
Their audience is not YOU or ME – their audience is EACH OTHER – and I’m pretty sure that these “Bilderberg” and “WEF” and other fancy globalist venues were all MODERATOR-LED DISCUSSIONS – that ironically led us to precisely where we are now. To a chorus of “somebody needs to do something”. AND THEY DID.
In THEIR circles, “doing something” about the population crisis is “noble”.
But how to make everybody ELSE see it as noble?
One of the things that is absolutely necessary to make this vaccination depopulation plot work, is for the media to never talk about the downside, for individuals, of taking part in the “clottery”, as some folks have cunningly anticipated this entire theory in a single word.
In case you haven’t noticed, the psychology of what the press is doing now is in perfect alignment with this theory. The press literally models to the sheep, the “correct” behavior when people die of the shot. NEVER talk about the shot being responsible.
People IGNORE IT because they have been TAUGHT TO IGNORE IT.
People EXCUSE IT because they have been TAUGHT TO EXCUSE IT.
People DON’T TALK ABOUT IT because they have been TAUGHT TO NOT TALK ABOUT IT.
And soon enough, the memories of WHAT IT WAS LIKE BEFORE THE SHOT will fade.
They KNOW this will work.
I repeat with more precision. The press is NOT being stupid. They are normalizing the idea of not talking about the downside of vaccines – until we don’t – until we CAN’T even see the downside, because we can’t remember a side that was any less “down”.
In my opinion, it is evil genius, and it has been working REMARKABLY WELL.
They have done it for YEARS, and they have done it on PURPOSE. And they have done it MORE and MORE and MORE and MORE, until we arrived HERE.
And even WE THE SKEPTICS, almost have to SLAP ourselves to see it.
In a normal science world, that’s F-ING crazy – and I use the word F-ING with great intent, because I want to WAKE YOUR ASS UP. Think how crazy that is – for the press to not talk about the downside of these vaccines, or to occasionally excuse it, or to blame the deaths on something else NUTTY like “global warming” or “stress” or “growing up”.
ALL OF THAT. All of it. Is explained by the idea that they are attempting to normalize an increase in deaths due to something we can’t talk about and be good people.
Are you REALLY starting to see how BLIND we have been?
We can sit there and logically SAY things like “Oh, yeah, it’s a depopulation shot”, but to REALLY get it, you need to look at it from both the PLOTTERS’ perspective, and the SHEEP’S perspective.
But once you DO, you actually see it so clearly, it becomes yet MORE proof that this is exactly what they’re doing.
And while we’re on the topic of PROOF…..
The Nursing Home Killers
When you understand that Andrew Cuomo was trying to “make the noble plot work”, THEN you can understand why he KNOWINGLY sent infected COVID patients back into nursing homes.
AND why the DNC had to turn THAT scandal into a “kissing scandal”, as they sent Cuomo into what they likely figure will be 5-10 years of “career rehab”.
Interestingly, they didn’t have to repeat it for any other governors after the first try.
We knew after Cuomo, that there would be no justice for ANY of the Democrat governors who took part in the plot. As long as the FAKE NEWS protected them, there would be no trouble.
The nursing home scandal is not much different from Germany in the 1930s, when the “new socialist doctors” wanted to “socialize medicine”, and one of the most obvious (but horrifying) ways to do that, was to cleanse the patient rolls of those who are going to die soon ANYWAY.
Again, it helps to understand that almost ALL leaders in the world are “in on the plan” to get these shots not just implemented – not just mandated – but NORMALIZED.
The “pandemic” had to be “bad” to mandate the shots. The shots had to be mandated to prevent comparison.
And COMPARISON had to be removed to hide FOREVER the fact that one of humanity’s “necessary” vaccines, was in fact a population and fertility control agent.
First, Fauci burned the PFIZER controls. But THEN he had to burn WE THE CONTROLS – the unvaccinated.
The GOAL was to transition to a state where science would “forget” that the vaccines themselves were reducing population faster than they were saving people from COVID.
It’s a beautiful scam. Stunning, really.
This is why Fauci NEVER touches “cost/benefit” analysis of the vaccines – why he focuses with laser precision on ANTIBODIES, ANTIBODIES, ANTIBODIES – and stays the hell away from everything else. It’s distraction – it’s a magic act – it’s diversion. I’ve referred to it as “antibody hypnosis” and I’m not talking about FAUCI being the one that’s hypnotized.
Rand Paul sees it, of course, but we have gone so far down the track of “normalizing insanity”, that the sight of an MD making the head medical scientist in the government look like either a liar or a fool – take your pick – it just doesn’t register as “not normal” any longer.
SO – I’m going to end this introduction here.
I will be covering more angles on the plot. MANY more. But I need to get you started not just understanding what went on, but actually accepting the horrible truth – and why we have to talk about it. Because if we don’t get this right, humanity is on one long ride to HELL.
Figuring out what Bill Gates was doing, when he forced you to prove he was “innocent”. This is a very slick move that I now refer to as “back fire setting”. Bourla did it, too.
How Two Fallen Theories of Medicine May Herald the Fate of Global Warming / Climate Change
Bad science does not stand forever, but it may stand long enough for people to make a lot of money on it. THAT will be the THEME of the three huge science scandals I’m going to discuss.
In case you’re short on time, the TLDR…..
TL;DR – Two fresh scandals showing how industry money and scientific misconduct kept bad theories “alive” for decades, may explain why the bad science behind politically useful climate alarmism persists.
I. Serotonin Uber Alles
The “serotonin scandal” is very diffuse, which is why it’s in many ways analogous to “climate change”. The bottom line is that what the pharmaceutical industry tells patients about antidepressants, and what scientists know about antidepressants, are not the same thing.
It’s best to start off with the following Tucker Carlson video.
An extremely important selling point of antidepressants, used by both doctors and the pharmaceutical industry, is the idea that people who are depressed, and therefore “need” to take them, actually have some kind of chemical imbalance in their brain that needs to be fixed. More often than any other chemical alleged to be “imbalanced” is serotonin – and hence the emergence of SSRIs, meaning serotonin-selective reuptake inhibitors.
Carlson’s centerpiece is a recent metaanalysis of antidepressant research which showed there is little or no evidence for this “chemical imbalance” assertion.
Antidepressants may work in some people, and thank God they do, but IF they do, and WHEN they do, the simple “chemical imbalance theory” is probably not the reason why.
There is a very good explanation of the study HERE:
No evidence that depression is caused by low serotonin levels, finds comprehensive review
After decades of study, there remains no clear evidence that serotonin levels or serotonin activity are responsible for depression, according to a major review of prior research led by UCL scientists.
The new umbrella review – an overview of existing meta-analyses and systematic reviews – published in Molecular Psychiatry, suggests that depression is not likely caused by a chemical imbalance,and calls into question what antidepressants do. Most antidepressants are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which were originally said to work by correcting abnormally low serotonin levels. There is no other accepted pharmacological mechanism by which antidepressants affect the symptoms of depression.
Lead author Professor Joanna Moncrieff, a Professor of Psychiatry at UCL and a consultant psychiatrist at North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT), said: “It is always difficult to prove a negative, but I think we can safely say that after a vast amount of research conducted over several decades, there is no convincing evidence that depression is caused by serotonin abnormalities, particularly by lower levels or reduced activity of serotonin.
“The popularity of the ‘chemical imbalance’ theory of depression has coincided with a huge increase in the use of antidepressants. Prescriptions for antidepressants have risen dramatically since the 1990s, with one in six adults in England and 2% of teenagers now being prescribed an antidepressant in a given year.
“Many people take antidepressants because they have been led to believe their depression has a biochemical cause, but this new research suggests this belief is not grounded in evidence.”
Just for the record, I am personally NOT a fan of these sorts of “metaanalysis” papers. In my opinion they tend to be QUASI-OPINIONS with a veneer of science. However, in my own opinion, metaanalyses can be useful when highly conclusive or by reinterpreting data – but should be trusted even less than normal observational science.
Now – it is important to point out that this metaanalysis is not actually telling us anything NEW. Most scientists in the field ALREADY KNEW from all the various studies that were looked at by the metaanalysis, that the simple “chemical imbalance” idea was a load of crap. They’ve known this for YEARS.
REALLY? Yes. Really.
A good description of the state of things is here:
A Popular Theory About Depression Wasn’t “Debunked” by a New Review
The title is a bit deceptive – at least more so than the link which adds “it got debunked years ago”. Ah, the techniques of clickbait!
Anyway, the title could rightfully say:
A Still-Popular But Unproven Old Theory About Depression Wasn’t “Debunked” By A New Review – It Was Simply Confirmed To STILL Be Unsupported By The Data, Despite Being Pushed For Decades By Doctors And Big Pharma Who KNEW It Wasn’t True
Please click the link if you want all the details, but my proposed title says it all. People kept using the theory as a sales and prescription gimmick. Big Pharma “suggested” the theory to doctors, and doctors “suggested” the theory to patients, to get them to take a kind of drug that patients are sometimes very resistant to taking.
Remember – antidepressants do, in fact, work for many patients – particularly for very serious cases of depression. Many people who in the past had to be hospitalized, can now live happy, functional lives in society because of these drugs.
It’s understandable that doctors try to convince patients to take the drugs they think will work to treat their problems.
But should your kids be getting antidepressants because of “school trouble”?
A whole ‘nuther question.
Because THAT is the end result of the little white lie that “people can have an imbalance that needs these drugs.”
We NORMALIZED antidepressents by NORMALIZING an ABNORMALITY that didn’t even exist.
ANYWAY – if the very fact that a WRONG THEORY has been KNOWINGLY spoon-fed to you by “the experts” for DECADES, is not giving you ideas about “climate change” – particularly in the post-COVID world…..
BUT WAIT.
Not quite yet. We have ANOTHER scandal to look at, first.
II. It’s Bush’s Beta Amyloid’s Fault!
This scandal is at the opposite end of the spectrum, from the above one, in which an entire industry and all of medicine KNOWINGLY told a little white lie to the public.
In this case, ONE SCIENTIST tipped the scales inappropriately, sending the entire world, including the rest of science, on a wild goose chase.
The LIE was only caught after years, and almost accidentally.
This is a rather long and interesting story, and I’m not going to recount it all here. But I will give you links and extensive quotes. It’s FASCINATING.
One of the best quick summaries is in, of all places, The Daily Kos.
Last month, drug company Genentech reported on the first clinical trials of the drug crenezumab, a drug targeting amyloid proteins that form sticky plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients. The drug had been particularly effective in animal models, and the trial results were eagerly awaited as one of the most promising treatments in years. It did not work. “Crenezumab did not slow or prevent cognitive decline” in people with a predisposition toward Alzheimer’s.
Last year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) narrowly approved the use of Aduhelm, a new drug from Biogen that the company has priced so highly that it’s expected to drive up the price of Medicare for everyone in America, even those who never need this drug. Aduhelm was the first drug to be approved that fights the accumulation of those “amyloid plaques” in the brain. What makes the approval of the $56,000-a-dose drug so controversial is that while it does decrease plaques, it doesn’t actually slow Alzheimer’s. In fact, clinical trials were suspended in 2019 after the treatment showed “no clinical benefits.” (Which did not keep Biogen from seeking the drug’s approval or pricing it astronomically.)
Over the last two decades, Alzheimer’s drugs have been notable mostly for having a 99% failure rate in human trials. It’s not unusual for drugs that are effective in vitro and in animal models to turn out to be less than successful when used in humans, but Alzheimer’s has a record that makes the batting average in other areas look like Hall of Fame material.
And now we have a good idea of why. Because it looks like the original paper that established the amyloid plaque model as the foundation of Alzheimer’s research over the last 16 years might not just be wrong, but a deliberate fraud.
This story is fantastic, and so I recommend starting with the above Daily Kos article.
Before going into more detail, let me begin to give you my perspective on Alzheimer’s drugs.
I’ve watched a lot of drug classes accumulate new and improved drugs over nearly half a century of interest in the topic, but the TWO categories that have stood out to ME as the WORST in terms of success have been antivirals and Alzheimer’s drugs.
Antivirals first.
As you have seen over the last two and a half years, antivirals are not impossible to find, and while they don’t work 100% of the time, they’re still sometimes VERY helpful.
What has been more shocking to me is that it’s clear that the pharmaceutical industry frequently and reliably OPPOSES successful antivirals, when they can’t make money off them. The industry wants NEW antivirals they can patent, and they are willing to DEFAME and DENY old antivirals, even SUPERIOR and SAFER antivirals, just to create a market for new ones.
New antivirals that may be CRAP, and dangerous as hell. And they will even LIE to the Commander In Chief about them.
But set the antivirals aside for now, knowing that the situation is corrupt.
Anti-Alzheimer’s drugs are even worse, because THEY JUST DON’T WORK. They’re notorious for not actually working. They’ve never worked. In desperation, the FDA occasionally approves these worthless drugs, if only for investigation, but they are “mercy punts”. The drugs get approved, as long as they don’t show too many side effects, because they are “better than nothing”. But that’s it.
The drugs out there for dementia, senility and Alzheimer’s are WORTHLESS.
A LOT of people thought this was suspicious. I was one of them. Every once in a while, when researchers would reveal just how BAD the next drug actually was – how terrible and limited the results were – I would “go back to my mental drawing board” and ask the question:
“Why don’t these drugs work? Maybe the theory behind them is wrong. What could the truth possibly be?”
HA! I had no idea! No clue!
NOBODY – and I mean nobody – suspected that it was because of FRAUD.
At least, not until recently.
So let’s move on to the fraud in more detail. SCIENCE MAGAZINE.
I am including a long segment which is just the beginning of the article. Please note an important point – the investigator was actually looking at a DIFFERENT fraud in the same field of Alzheimer’s research, when he found this one.
BLOTS ON A FIELD?
A neuroscience image sleuth finds signs of fabrication in scores of Alzheimer’s articles, threatening a reigning theory of the disease
In August 2021, Matthew Schrag, a neuroscientist and physician at Vanderbilt University, got a call that would plunge him into a maelstrom of possible scientific misconduct. A colleague wanted to connect him with an attorney investigating an experimental drug for Alzheimer’s disease called Simufilam. The drug’s developer, Cassava Sciences, claimed it improved cognition, partly by repairing a protein that can block sticky brain deposits of the protein amyloid beta (Aβ), a hallmark of Alzheimer’s. The attorney’s clients—two prominent neuroscientists who are also short sellers who profit if the company’s stock falls—believed some research related to Simufilam may have been “fraudulent,” according to a petition later filed on their behalf with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Schrag, 37, a softspoken, nonchalantly rumpled junior professor, had already gained some notoriety by publicly criticizing the controversial FDA approval of the anti-Aβ drug Aduhelm. His own research also contradicted some of Cassava’s claims. He feared volunteers in ongoing Simufilam trials faced risks of side effects with no chance of benefit.
So he applied his technical and medical knowledge to interrogate published images about the drug and its underlying science—for which the attorney paid him $18,000. He identified apparently altered or duplicated images in dozens of journal articles. The attorney reported many of the discoveries in the FDA petition, and Schrag sent all of them to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which had invested tens of millions of dollars in the work. (Cassava denies any misconduct [see sidebar, below].)
But Schrag’s sleuthing drew him into a different episode of possible misconduct, leading to findings that threaten one of the most cited Alzheimer’s studies of this century and numerous related experiments.
The first author of that influential study, published in Nature in 2006, was an ascending neuroscientist: Sylvain Lesné of the University of Minnesota (UMN), Twin Cities. His work underpins a key element of the dominant yet controversial amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer’s, which holds that Aβ clumps, known as plaques, in brain tissue are a primary cause of the devastating illness, which afflicts tens of millions globally. In what looked like a smoking gun for the theory and a lead to possible therapies, Lesné and his colleagues discovered an Aβ subtype and seemed to prove it caused dementia in rats. If Schrag’s doubts are correct, Lesné’s findings were an elaborate mirage.
Schrag, who had not publicly revealed his role as a whistleblower until this article, avoids the word “fraud” in his critiques of Lesné’s work and the Cassava-related studies and does not claim to have proved misconduct. That would require access to original, complete, unpublished images and in some cases raw numerical data. “I focus on what we can see in the published images, and describe them as red flags, not final conclusions,” he says. “The data should speak for itself.”
A 6-month investigation by Science provided strong support for Schrag’s suspicions and raised questions about Lesné’s research. A leading independent image analyst and several top Alzheimer’s researchers—including George Perry of the University of Texas, San Antonio, and John Forsayeth of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)—reviewed most of Schrag’s findings at Science’s request. They concurred with his overall conclusions, which cast doubt on hundreds of images, including more than 70 in Lesné’s papers. Some look like “shockingly blatant” examples of image tampering, says Donna Wilcock, an Alzheimer’s expert at the University of Kentucky.
The authors “appeared to have composed figures by piecing together parts of photos from different experiments,” says Elisabeth Bik, a molecular biologist and well-known forensic image consultant. “The obtained experimental results might not have been the desired results, and that data might have been changed to … better fit a hypothesis.”
Early this year, Schrag raised his doubts with NIH and journals including Nature; two, including Nature last week, have published expressions of concern about papers by Lesné. Schrag’s work, done independently of Vanderbilt and its medical center, implies millions of federal dollars may have been misspent on the research—and much more on related efforts. Some Alzheimer’s experts now suspect Lesné’s studies have misdirected Alzheimer’s research for 16 years.
“The immediate, obvious damage is wasted NIH funding and wasted thinking in the field because people are using these results as a starting point for their own experiments,” says Stanford University neuroscientist Thomas Südhof, a Nobel laureate and expert on Alzheimer’s and related conditions.
Lesné did not respond to requests for comment. A UMN spokesperson says the university is reviewing complaints about his work.
To Schrag, the two disputed threads of Aβ research raise far-reaching questions about scientific integrity in the struggle to understand and cure Alzheimer’s. Some adherents of the amyloid hypothesis are too uncritical of work that seems to support it, he says. “Even if misconduct is rare, false ideas inserted into key nodes in our body of scientific knowledge can warp our understanding.”
This article goes deeply into the fraud. It’s a great detective story. It raises a whole bunch of tangential issues.
For starters, the fact that you are even hearing about this is because the investigator (Matthew Schrag) didn’t wait for NIH to do anything – particularly after it AWARDED MORE MONEY TO THE FRAUDSTER.
Yes – you got that right.
He [Lesné] became a leader of UMN’s neuroscience graduate program in 2020, and in May 2022, 4 months after Schrag delivered his concerns to NIH, Lesné received a coveted R01 grant from the agency, with up to 5 years of support. The NIH program officer for the grant, Austin Yang—a co-author on the 2006 Nature paper—declined to comment.
Notice how the “revolving door” nature of the science is on display. “Insiders” who are buddies with and coworkers of “outsiders”, give those outsiders the precious grants.
However, Schrag was not caught with his pants down by NIH “Comeyism” (failure to discipline friends). Schrag had also taken his evidence to Science magazine. SMART MOVE. But then, it appears that Schrag was raised by Mennonites, home-schooled, and in the military. Interesting.
More from the Science article:
IN HIS WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT to NIH about Lesné’s research, Schrag made its scope and stakes clear: “[This] dossier is a fraction of the anomalies easily visible on review of the publicly accessible data,” he wrote. The suspect work “not only represents a substantial investment in [NIH] research support, but has been cited … thousands of times and thus has the potential to mislead an entire field of research.”
The agency’s reply, which Schrag shared with Science, noted that complaints deemed credible will go to the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Research Integrity (ORI) for review. That agency could then instruct grantee universities to investigate prior to a final ORI review, a process that can take years and remains confidential absent an official misconduct finding. To Science, NIH said it takes research misconduct seriously, but otherwise declined to comment.
See how that works? Seriously – you CANNOT trust NIH, any more than you can trust Anthony Fauci.
NOW – things are starting to get interesting as all this news is hitting the mainstream media.
Gil00 brought me a link, in which the most famous coworker of the fraudster, Karen Ashe, finally responded to inquiries. Meanwhile, the fraudster has remained silent publicly. NOTE that in Schrag’s investigation (see below), Ashe was found innocent. ONLY in papers working with Lesné, were any of Ashe’s papers ever found to contain fraudulent images. Ditto for other authors. Lesné was the nexus of the fraud.
BUT the problem WAS spotted long ago, and yet this knowledge never bubbled up to a level of effectiveness in mainstream science. An early French coworker of Lesné found his images suspect, and refused to work with him after that.
From the Science article:
Questions about Lesné’s work are not new. Cell biologist Denis Vivien, a senior scientist at Caen, co-authored five Lesné papers flagged by Schrag or Bik. Vivien defends the validity of those articles, but says he had reason to be wary of Lesné.
Toward the end of Lesné’s time in France, Vivien says they worked together on a paper for Nature Neuroscience involving Aβ. During final revisions, he saw immunostaining images—in which antibodies detect proteins in tissue samples—that Lesné had provided. They looked dubious to Vivien, and he asked other students to replicate the findings. Their efforts failed. Vivien says he confronted Lesné, who denied wrongdoing. Although Vivien lacked “irrefutable proof” of misconduct, he withdrew the paper before publication “to preserve my scientific integrity,” and broke off all contact with Lesné, he says. “We are never safe from a student who would like to deceive us and we must remain vigilant.”
Schrag spot checked papers by Vivien or Ashe without Lesné. He found no anomalies—suggesting Vivien and Ashe were innocent of misconduct.
SO – what does Karen Ashe have to say?
University of Minnesota scientist responds to fraud allegations in Alzheimer’s research
While defending results, U researcher said it is “devastating” that a colleague might have doctored images.
A senior University of Minnesota scientist said it is “devastating” that a colleague might have doctored images to prop up research, but she defended the authenticity of her groundbreaking work on the origins of Alzheimer’s disease.
Dr. Karen Ashe declined to comment about a U investigation into the veracity of studies led by Sylvain Lesné, a neuroscientist she hired and a rising star in the field of Alzheimer’s research. However, she criticized an article in Science magazine that raised concerns this week about Lesné, because she said it confused and exaggerated the effect the U’s work had on downstream drug development to treat Alzheimer’s-related dementia.
“Having worked for decades to understand the cause of Alzheimer disease, so that better treatments can be found for patients, it is devastating to discover that a co-worker may have misled me and the scientific community through the doctoring of images,” Ashe said in an e-mail Friday morning. “It is, however, additionally distressing to find that a major scientific journal has flagrantly misrepresented the implications of my work.”
I’m undecided about this lady. This is a bit of a tangent, but it may be significant.
I trust her to some extent, based on the fact that Schrag found Ashe’s work CLEAN when it was NOT associated with Lesné. In my opinion she’s innocent.
AND YET, Ashe’s background is PERFECT for a two-stepper ChiCom, potentially brought to America as the child of secret socialist sleepers. [NOTE: “Two-steppers” are basically bi-generational spy families, with extreme cover used on the parents to throw off suspicions on the second generation as plants.] Ashe’s background – similar to that of the notorious Vindman twins, is also almost identical to several classic Chinese two-steppers in American media and politics, including relentless Trump character assassin, Weijia Jiang.
Video: Disenguous, pathetic stuff from @CBSNews's @Weijia Jiang, questioning the President's testing motives as suppressing them so as to tamp down case numbers and death tolls and then suggest he's playing politics with reopening state economies while Democratic governors aren't pic.twitter.com/acjiINrXxX
Video: @CBSNews's @Weijia Jiang came back for round two, bashing Trump for talking about testing like it's a "global competition" when so many are dying. Trump replies that she should ask China that question. So the media want Trump to ramp up testing, then hit him when he does?! pic.twitter.com/YYF13b3JrS
And don’t think this is just aimed at Karen Ashe – that I’m just blaming the innocent victim, which she may very well be. Let’s look at Sylvain Lesné. Let’s do a deep dive on the possibility that he was intentionally sabotaging science for more than just personal advancement.
This is just a theory to add to the pile of theories. But it’s a very intriguing theory, with enormous consequences, like – oh, say – “climate change”.
French communists, both agrarian and urban, are THICK in Normandy – where Sylvain Lesné grew up and went to university. The urban centers of Caen, Le Havre, and Rouen are communist strongholds.
You can see that Caen leans even further to the left than “worker’s paradise” Le Havre, where bleak Stalinist architecture rules. The vote against Le Pen was strong in Le Havre, but even stronger in Caen.
There is a reason why communism is persistent in Normandy. Not only is there a regional historical tradition of Jacobin thought – there was aggressive spread of Soviet-style communism to the area by Stalin, both before World War II and afterwards, in the devastation of the Allied liberation.
This was a significant part of the motivation for the Marshall plan – to not let the war feed Stalin’s slow but relentless ambitions, already at work in post-war France.
We already know that French “above-ground” communist Agnès Buzyn, who is weirdly allied with “conservative” Emmanuel Macron, was indicted for a plethora of COVID-19 “mistakes”, in which she seemed to aggressively “do the wrong thing” as COVID-19 began spreading into France.
We here in America are more familiar with one of these aggressive scientific mistakes – the “hiding” of hydroxychloroquine from the public by changing it from OTC to prescription only. (Please note that this “error” was at the bottom of the list, and is not even mentioned around the time of the indictment, which focused more on Buzyn’s downplaying of COVID dangers.)
Now – it’s very instructive to see how the French media (particularly the left-media, but all of it, really) has aggressively covered up for Buzyn on this point, with “fact-checking” in the Snopes style, where there are both clickbait strawmen and evasion on technicalities.
While the FORMAL reclassification of the drug HCQ from OTC to prescription occurred in January of 2020, which would make it seem more vindictive against Didier Raoult, and reactive against the treatment of the disease, that was merely the date of the effective reclassification.
The connection to Didier Raoult is a bit of a red herring, provided largely by his fan base. That is a typical irony useful to disinformation.
It turns out that the reclassification action itself took place in November of 2019. This point is then alleged by the fact-checkers to prove Buzyn’s “innocence”. As we now know, the deepest players in the COVID scam KNOWINGLY took many actions in September, October, and November of 2019.
Thus, in my opinion, these “fact checks” attempting to exonerate Buzyn’s scientific misconduct are in fact even more indicting, and indicative of her premeditated criminality.
Thus, if an analogous theory is correct, that Sylvain Lesné was intending to prop up bad science for more than just his own advancement, then there must be some VALUE in doing so.
Gil00 provided a possible answer to this – in thinking that perhaps there was an immunological connection to the scandal. THAT jumped out at me like a red flag. An immunity connection in Alzheimer’s is not only a known competitor of the beta amyloid theory – it fits in with my recent belief that the entire depopulation plot is connected to and being implemented through a very intentional and surreptitious set of actions leading to a decrease of individual human immunity, to make us EACH more vulnerable.
Thus, Lesné’s actions, which sent the majority of Alzheimer’s research down a primrose path to nowhere, may have been a DIVERSION away from the immunological origins of Alzheimer’s disease.
You know – an origin such as VACCINES.
Yes. Timing is everything.
NOW – even if Ashe and Lesné are completely innocent (and that would include brainwashing by communists), I think this is an EXCELLENT time to look at Alzheimer’s AGAIN, as a potential product of things like viruses and vaccines, which we KNOW can have neurological effects.
Yes. Vaccines which “go wrong” can affect the BRAIN through autoimmune actions.
Just sayin’.
III. Could Global Warming Concern in the Face of an Imminent Mini-Ice Age and an Incipient Full Ice Age Actually be Some Kind of Really Bad Science?
It should now be totally apparent that BAD SCIENCE on a global scale is not just possible – it’s EASY. This is without even bringing in the COVID debacle.
PLANET VULCAN, ANYONE?
You’ve seen it here in part I. BILLIONS of dollars have kept LIES alive and well in pharmaceutical science.
If it pays everybody to tell people there is a chemical imbalance that means they need a drug, it will be done, to sell the drug, or to tell the patient that there is hope. The bad information will be forwarded to doctors, and then to patients, to make those patients feel OK taking the drug. Eventually, it just becomes part of Fake Normal.
Consider (part II) that even a single author on a single scientific paper, followed by a few more images from that author on maybe a few dozen more papers, carrying subtle but convincing false evidence, can send BILLIONS of dollars, maybe tens or hundreds of billions of dollars, down a blind alley.
Not only that – the system will try to keep that money flowing in the same way, even when it is KNOWN by government bureaucrats to be based on faulty data.
Is it impossible that this kind of ERROR could extend to TRILLIONS of dollars?
I mean, who would actually WANT trillions of dollars?
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) were joined by Democratic lawmakers from both the House and Senate on February 7, 2019, to introduce Green New Deal legislation.
There is NOTHING in “anthropogenic global warming” or “climate change”, explained by the current theories, that cannot be explained equally well by the idea that a carbon dioxide prediction boondoggle (remember COVID models?) has occurred, as the result of BAD SCIENCE.
Indeed, the multiple and long-running FAILURES of the climate field would seem to this “poor” scientist to be rather similar to the FAILURES in anti-Alzheimer’s drugs. This kind of failure SHOULD point to severe theoretical problems in any NORMAL science situation, once freed from TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS of bad economic bets by politicians and financiers.
I remember – PERSONALLY – when we scientists were told by the leadership of the American Chemical Society that “anthropogenic global warming” was “settled science”. I knew MANY scientists in all branches of science – who were all SCIENTIFICALLY AFFECTED by this idea – who were still very actively debating the topic – and who like me were not convinced of AGW being real, true, or important, even if it did exist. The entire enterprise seemed HASTY and WRONG.
It seemed TOP-DOWN. It seemed IMPOSED. It seemed to contradict everything we knew about how science was supposed to operate – with major ideas normally taking YEARS if not DECADES of FIGHTING INSIDE SCIENCE to become crystal clear.
And OH YES – we had TIME.
SO – after reading about these two incidents of WRONG science being perpetuated by industry or academia, both knowingly and unknowingly, I do NOT think that “climate change” should be granted a pass.
I think the whole question of climate needs to “go back to the people”. That includes both SCIENTISTS who tell us WHAT IS FOUND, and THE PEOPLE who tell us WHAT MATTERS, once we find the truth.
Everybody else – the money, the media, the “leaders”, the shills, and the malevolent liars – need to get out of the way.
In particular, the MEDIA that pushes scientists’ opinions around with their “fake normal” and “fake science news” needs to STFU.
Don’t “trust the science”.
LET SCIENCE DISTRUST ITSELF.
And maybe, in fact definitely, YOU THE PEOPLE can help US, THE SCIENTISTS to DISTRUST SCIENCE……
I will try to keep this brief – although that is hard, because I’m fighting against people’s “feelings” instead of facts.
When the other side LIES all the time, it creates a “feeling” that they’re lying about everything.
Yes, they ARE lying about everything – but the lies are often very sophisticated, being composed of a matrix of solid and hard-won truths, held together by crafty lies.
If you’re going to FIGHT BACK, then I say FIGHT BACK SMART.
Buckle up.
INTRO
There has been a very successful strain of disinformation used to make our side seem very unconvincing to normies (to put it mildly).
That strain is the “there is no virus” deception.
Many times we tolerate this, because we don’t want to discourage our “fellow skeptics”, but it is critical that we refute nonsense on our own side.
In the past I’ve devoted occasional comments to putting down disinformation to the tune of “there is no virus” and “the virus was never isolated”, but after this last time, meaning yesterday, I’ve decided to just GUT this beast right on the dissection table, under the glaring lights of its own post, so that the “debunking” has its own URL, suitable for posting in response to well-meaning people on our side, who think “no virus” is a tenable position.
NO. It is not tenable. You are being BAITED into nonsense, so that you are no longer effective. You are being baited into becoming a “FEELZ” person, like reliable Democrats.
The “there is no virus” position is basically the “new flat earth” of biology. You’ll see why momentarily.
An Example of “There Is No Virus / Isolation”
I want to thank Canadian Guest for bringing an example of this disinformation to the board for my consideration. Bringing some FRESH RATS to this SCIENCE HAWK is always appreciated.
This is why I don’t restrict the bringing of “propaganda” and potential disinformation here. We’re adults. We can DEAL with it – and often very usefully. I get more truth out of Russian “propaganda” than out of most MSM “explainers”. Funny how that works.
WE will be the judge of truth – NOT “them”.
Here is the video. Watch if you want – particularly after reading this.
There are some tells OTHER than what I’m going to talk about, that this is an interesting construction designed to derail critics of the vaccines. Tell me what you think “smells” like targeted disinformation in the comments.
Did CIA or FIB make this? Did Chinese intelligence? Who are these people?
Koch’s Postulates
One of the centerpieces of “disproving” that viruses exist, is to engage in passive-aggressive science using what are called “Koch’s postulates”.
Koch’s postulates were a brilliant set of standards from the beginning of microbiology, designed to help prove that an illness was actually caused by a microbe, rather than a bodily dysfunction of some kind.
The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy organisms.
The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture.
The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.
The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.
Wikipedia has an excellent and quick presentation about Koch’s postulates AND the problems therein.
You would be very smart to notice something on the LAST slide.
“It is sometimes impossible to satisfy all of Koch’s postulates.”
One of the ways in which this happens, is that “pure culture” (stated in the second postulate) varies between a laboratory vacuum and a jungle floor. If you’re a “purist”, nothing will pass the postulates. If you’re laissez-faire about things, everything will pass. If you’re SMART about things, and demand a SMARTLY PURE culture, you will get great results, and Koch’s postulates will continue to work for even crazy things like viruses, prions, etc.
What’s up with viruses?
The problem is that viruses are not microbes in the same sense as bacteria, protozoans, and similar microorganisms which are well-handled by Koch’s original postulates, where “pure cultures” were “biologically sterile, but molecularly fertile” mixtures.
Viruses are, quite literally, molecular parasites. The transmission of viruses is both more demanding and less demanding on the nature of a “pure medium”, than is transmission of bacteria. Viruses transmit in a different way.
Viruses need almost nothing to survive in, but they need CELLS to reproduce in. Viruses do not grow in simple chemical brews. They need CELLS. Cells not only contain a lot of stuff of “their own” – they also contain a lot of viruses, AND the encoding for these and other viruses.
If you demand a “cell-free medium” for growth of a virus, you have basically sabotaged science “under the color of science”.
See how that works?
The history of Koch’s postulates, and the upgrading of Koch’s original postulates to take care of things like viruses, prions, etc., is discussed in THIS article:
SO – you will almost always see some kind of reference to Koch’s postulates, in “there is no virus” disinformation. Koch’s postulates are the perfect “medium” for passive-aggressive anti-science.
BUT WAIT! There’s MOAR!
“BUT MUH NON-ISOLATION!”
The next, and actually essential part of the disinformation, is the allegation that the virus behind COVID-19 was never isolated.
HOGWASH!
BULLSHIT!
LIES!
It was not only isolated early and often – it is ROUTINELY isolated, all over the world, in order that genetic studies OF THE VIRUS can be done.
Think of all the hundreds of thousands of scientists who gather “clout” in molecular biology by analyzing the RNA of a single virus, and thereby look for small changes in that RNA – meaning a few nitrogenous bases among hundreds of thousands. How do they “isolate” the RNA of the virus from samples taken from people? How do they NOT get a bunch of human nasal RNA, plus the RNA of all our OTHER embedded viruses, AND nasal bacteria, mixed up in the sample, screwing up the results?
It’s simple. They GROW THE VIRUS in a NONINFECTED cellular medium that LOVES the virus. They filter and separate the budding and “transmitting” virus from the cells. And then they check the RNA of the filtered virus.
WHICH LOOKS LIKE THIS!
“Pictures or it didn’t happen.”
You can even see the damn spikes! Of course, they didn’t really need to do this – the RNA is the real convincer – the FINGERPRINT – but a picture is helpful for the doubters.
Sure sounds like “isolation” to me!
One of the best ways to demonstrate this to you, is to simply READ YOU THE PAPER where the pictures came from – back in the early days of COVID-19.
This paper was “e-published” back in March of 2020, when “Wuhan Coronavirus” had just been renamed to “SARS-CoV-2” because of China and Democrats (more on that later). The paper was actually received in February, around the time I was recovering from the original Wuhan strain of COVID-19, or something immediately descended from it.
This is from a Japanese group located in Tokyo. This is not by any means the earliest research on SARS-CoV-2 virus. It’s an IMPROVEMENT paper. These guys are saying “Hey! It’s easier to isolate this damn virus using OUR new method!”
Here is a text version of the paper, emphasizing the abstract.
Enhanced isolation of SARS-CoV-2 by TMPRSS2-expressing cells
A novel betacoronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which caused a large respiratory outbreak in Wuhan, China in December 2019, is currently spreading across many countries globally. Here, we show that a TMPRSS2-expressing VeroE6 cell line is highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, making it useful for isolating and propagating SARS-CoV-2. Our results reveal that, in common with SARS- and Middle East respiratory syndrome-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 infection is enhanced by TMPRSS2.
As a bit of an aside, you will note that the editor is a Chinese researcher at an American university. The CCP has no problem pushing on the “social” buttons of American science, AND IT DOES. There was no way that the name “Wuhan coronavirus” was going to last. Think about it. This is subtle, but it’s the way things are now.
There are some nice graphics in the paper, too, including pictures of the virus.

It is EXTREMELY helpful to simply READ what the authors say, in recounting what they did.
I’ve put in BOLD what they DID.
Seven clinical specimens (throat swabs or sputum) obtained from seven SARS-CoV-2 infection cases were inoculated into VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells, which were monitored daily for cytopathic effect (CPE). These clinical specimens were deidentified prior to use, and this study was approved by the ethics committee of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japan (approval no. 1091). Informed consent was obtained from all participants, from which the subjects were obtained, or their legally acceptable representatives for sample donation. In five cases among the seven, clear CPE with detachment/floating (black arrows, Fig. 1B) and syncytium formation (white arrows, Fig. 1B) developed at 2 or 3 d postinfection (p.i.) (Table 1).The virus titers in culture supernatants of the five cases at 3 d p.i. were 4.6 × 106 to 6.8 × 107 median tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) per mL (Table 1).Typical coronavirus particles were detected by electron microscopy (Fig. 1C).Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of case Wk-521 detected the nearly full-length genome sequence from SARS-CoV-2 with >99.9% homology (1, 2) (GISAID database ID EPI_ISL_408667). Unexpectedly, the NGS data showed contaminated mycoplasma sequences (Mycoplasma hyorhinis and Mycoplasma arginini) from VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells. CPE in VeroE6 cells persistently infected with SARS-CoV was enhanced by infection with Mycoplasma fermentans (8), but whether a similar situation exists for SARS-CoV-2–related CPE in this cell line is unclear.
The viral RNA copies in the clinical specimens used for virus isolation were estimated by real-time RT-PCR (9, 10). As expected, viral RNA copies in the clinical specimens in which CPE developed within 2 d p.i. were greater than those in the other specimens (Table 1).
VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells are superior to other cell lines tested in this study for SARS-CoV-2 isolation. Consistent with previous reports (2, 4), the amount of SARS-CoV-2 RNAs in the culture supernatants of Vero, Calu-3, and A549 cells 48 h p.i. was low and was measurably higher when VeroE6 cells were used. However, the viral RNA copies in the VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cell culture supernatants were >100 times greater than those from VeroE6 cells (Fig. 1 D and E). Data for SARS-CoV show that TMPRSS2 enhances its entry efficiency (5, 11). VeroE6 and VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells were infected with 10-fold serially diluted SARS-CoV-2 samples, and the infected cells were visualized by indirect immunofluorescent assays (Fig. 1E). The results showed that VeroE6/TMPRSS2 displayed ∼10-fold greater number of SARS-CoV-2–infected cells than the parental VeroE6 cells. These data suggest that, in common with SARS-CoV, TMPRSS2 may also play an important role in SARS-CoV-2 cell entry.
Pay special attention to THIS PART which is not highlighted above, but which shows the level of ATTENTION that was paid to the results.
Unexpectedly, the NGS data showed contaminated mycoplasma sequences (Mycoplasma hyorhinis and Mycoplasma arginini) from VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells. CPE in VeroE6 cells persistently infected with SARS-CoV was enhanced by infection with Mycoplasma fermentans (8), but whether a similar situation exists for SARS-CoV-2–related CPE in this cell line is unclear.
See what I was talking about with a “pure medium”? These mycoplama are very common contaminants of cell cultures. Note that these scientists are not HIDING the presence of contaminants in their “pure” medium. On the contrary, they’re saying they spotted the contamination, and are accounting for it.
The bottom line is that these people know exactly what they are doing, dealing with the tricky nature of Koch’s postulates under the realities of working with viruses – some of the hardest biology that can be done.
And THAT brings me to a personal observation.
On Difficult Technology
Science is a game that everybody CAN play, and I would go so far as to say it’s a game that everybody SHOULD play. You should be teaching your kids science and art, in exactly the way you should teach them football, baseball, and ice skating.
And just like with PROFESSIONAL SPORTS, in which people who you respect make errors that you call out, it helps to RESPECT the pros of science – EVEN AS YOU POINT OUT THEIR ERRORS, WHICH YOU SHOULD.
We don’t believe professional athletes are “always right” – why should you believe the same things about scientists?
Back in my laboratory days, I had a couple of “lucky insights” connected by a lot of hard work, and they demonstrate how science gets past obstacles, including in particular other scientists.
Dissatisfied with my seemingly unexciting assigned research project, I was in the perfect mood when a colleague of mine drew something very interesting on the blackboard with a big chalk “X” through it.
“Why doesn’t this work?” was my question.
My colleague gave a reason that didn’t seem right to me, and then stated that he was abandoning that project. I asked if he minded if I tried it. He didn’t mind – he had already gotten a new assignment from our boss.
I picked up the gauntlet, and got things to work the very first time. The big chalk “X” was wrong. My insight was correct.
Happy that the abandoned research project was back in play, our boss allowed me to take it over and pursue it.
Pushing the idea through on a small scale, I actually got the entire project to work – but not to the satisfaction of skeptics. We didn’t have “clincher” proof. We needed to scale up to get that level of proof.
Scaling it up, however, failed. It took a lot of very interesting science to understand the whole process, and scale it up to the level that was necessary to convince the skeptics.
The problem was, not ALL of the skeptics were convinced. One skeptic, at the last minute, needed proof that would require even MORE scaling up.
The problem THERE is that NOT EVERYBODY could do the work.
When others could not duplicate my results, I was forced to do the even bigger scale-up myself, AND to do it under intense scrutiny, to figure out why *I* could do it and others could not.
The result was obvious proof that I had gotten it to work. The skeptic’s harassment had led to a magnificent NEW proof that neither we nor the skeptic had fully predicted. We had exceeded the level of proof that the skeptic demanded.
HOWEVER, this left open a subject that nobody really wanted to talk about.
Why weren’t others able to duplicate my results?
The sad fact is, science is filled with people who do not practice the habits necessary for success. They are not PERSISTENT when they need to be. They are not INSIGHTFUL in trying to get around problems. Even more importantly, they are not HOPEFUL that they CAN get around problems. This failure to have hope in overcoming obstacles is a HUGE problem in science. But likewise, many are not sufficiently DUBIOUS in trying to spot thousands of small potential problems, and doing what is necessary to prevent them. We have to be SKEPTICAL, too.
Even when we’re skeptical, sometimes we’re not skeptical enough. An excellent example is provided by the tragic death of Karen Wetterhahn, who died of dimethylmercury poisoning, when a few droplets of dimethylmercury splashed on and penetrated one of the thin latex gloves she was wearing. This was the level of protection recommended at the time, but it was not enough.
Karen had protected her coworkers by doing the work herself, instead of exposing THEM to the danger. She did the work “to code”, but it was still not enough. Part of her legacy is the habit of scientists in later years to use two or even three layers of gloves, when handling dangerously toxic and reactive substances. Many will use “one more than recommended” of just about any safety measure.
We have to LEARN and RETAIN thousands and thousands of such habits just to do some of the simplest scientific operations, like weighing out a substance properly.
The boss who I mentioned above loved to say “All the easy stuff has been done.” It’s SO true, even though it’s obviously an exaggeration. That is why there are amazing recent discoveries – every once in a while – of things that COULD have been discovered many years prior, and which were simply missed or overlooked. But for the most part, it’s true. Almost all of the easy and obvious stuff has been done.
So what is my point?
The point is, science is HARD – and yet you are allowed to criticize it – AND YOU SHOULD.
The trick is, criticizing it and BEING RIGHT. And you do NOT have to be an “expert”, or even a scientist, to be right.
But you may have to be persistent, insightful, hopeful, and skeptical.
At that time, I introduced a general concept of vaccine-consequential medical dependence upon vaccines, which I called “vaccine addiction slavery“. I was explaining how spike protein-based vaccines for COVID-19 might in fact become literally addictive like barbiturates – meaning fatally so upon withdrawal.
Barbiturates are very old sleeping pills. They work remarkably well – better than opiates – except for one problem. They are even more addictive than opiates.
If you abruptly stop taking barbiturates once addicted – you die. And they are terribly difficult to withdraw from, slowly. This would be the same thing for the COVID vaccines. Stop taking them, and you die. You would have to KEEP taking them to live.
Keep this in mind. Barbiturates were “old tech”. They were EARLY tech. It took DECADES to find more modern sleeping pills that are less addictive, but still problematic (e.g., benzodiazepines). This technological history is COMPLETELY ANALOGOUS to COVID vaccines, in my opinion. It’s also similar to antibiotics. Remember MERCURY as an antibiotic?
In all of these cases – antibiotics, sleeping pills and COVID vaccines – you NOT ONLY don’t want to take these things continuously – you especially don’t want to take the early ones, that are basically poisons of one kind or another.
So how is addiction to a vaccine possible?
The idea is, that if you get “hooked” on vaccines which show certain immunological deficiencies, relative to an evolving disease – meaning they can’t keep up AND they leave you worse off than natural immunity – then you cannot quit the vaccines under pain of death from the disease. You would become locked in a battle of vaccine manufacturers vs. the virus, dependent upon THEIR ability to stay ahead of the evolution of the virus, and the government’s willingness to give you the shot. If you don’t get the vaccine – or don’t get it on time – your vaccine-trashed immunity fails, and you die.
Obviously communists and globalists would LOVE this situation. You don’t comply? You’re gonna die.
On top of THAT, the vaccines themselves would eventually kill you, just like heroin or fentanyl.
Wherein we explain – at three different levels of scientific and political understanding – how ADE-mediated vaccine slavery works. This post is to PREPARE YOU to watch what the other side is doing RIGHT NOW, so you can spot the deceptions. Right now they are DESPERATELY trying to make a FAILING PLAN work. Their plan …
If you didn’t read that old post, and you got vaccinated, you may be silently freaking out just a bit at this point. Hopefully you already got Omicron. THAT is the real vaccine. A quality vaccine. A NATURAL vaccine, although “upgraded” a bit by somebody. So you can calm down just a bit, if you got Omicron, and have begun to bushwhack your way back to natural immunity.
You’re not gonna die – as long as you STAY OFF THE DAMN VACCINES.
I will explain why in a moment.
But here is the big message.
There has been growing PROOF that the vaccines have the properties necessary for vaccine addiction. And now, there is PROOF of such addiction IN REALITY – from Canada.
I’m not NECESSARILY saying that Mafia daughter Nancy Pelosi and dubious East-coast Italian liar Anthony Fauci might take a mafia trick into government, and upgrade the heroin business to a world-wide scale, using a medical and government mafia, and go after ALL people instead of just black people, but……
Canadian data show vaccines now RAISE the risk of death from Covid
“Vaccinated people are now more likely to be hospitalized or die from Covid, even after adjusting for fact they’re older than the unvaccinated, according to official government estimates”
In May, the most recent month for which figures are available, only 9 percent of Covid deaths and 14 percent of hospital admissions in Manitoba occurred among unvaccinated people, even though they are 17 percent of the population.
Manitoba, which has about 1.4 million residents, also provides figures that are adjusted for the fact that vaccinated and boosted people tend to be older.
Those show that in May, vaccinated but unboosted people were about 50 percent more likely to be hospitalized or die of Covid than unvaccinated people. People who had received boosters had roughly the same risk of hospitalization or death as the unvaccinated.
Once you’re hooked on the vaccines, instead of the virus, you start to run a higher risk that you will DIE from the disease unless you get and stay boosted – but the vaccines will ALSO kill you by their own effects.
It’s a DOUBLY INSIDIOUS fate. It’s just like heroin addiction. The “cure” of more product will kill you on its own, AND it keeps you locked in.
(End of comment)
That right there is the short version. We now have a very nice example – corrected for numbers – corrected for age – that shows people “needing” to be either boosted or unvaccinated to not die of COVID at the “maximum rate”, which rate happens if you are “addicted to the jabs but late on payments”.
This is EXACTLY what I predicted would happen. And don’t even think about the vaccine being “safer” than being unvaccinated. The scientific trickery that was used to try to hide vaccine deaths has been appalling to this here scientist. The longer you take ANY vaccine which puts spike protein into your bloodstream, the greater your risk of “sudden adult death syndrome”.
You have a choice. Small, periodic, immunity-granting “colds”, or much more frequent vaccines that are guaranteed to put spike protein in your blood twice a year. And if you’re a WOMAN on that vaccine schedule, congratulations – you will likely never get a pregnancy that lasts to term.
It’s a small effect now – 50% greater chance of death on a disease that doesn’t kill many in most age groups – but I will bet money that there is a nice upward delta with the number of vaccinations, just like with the length of time one takes barbiturates.
First new scientific prediction: the longer you are addicted to the COVID vaccines, the greater the chance of death if you get the disease (i.e., the penalty for withdrawal increases with time).
Second new scientific prediction: the penalty for “withdrawal” increases with age (meaning seniors are at the most risk from withdrawal).
Third new scientific prediction: vaccinated kids (who survive the cardiac effects of the spike protein) are fully addicted by adulthood.
Ah, this crime is so smooth, one almost has to think that “this ain’t their first rodeo”. They had to have seen this in animal studies, and kept it under wraps.
Seriously. There had to be animal studies of corona viruses AND corona virus vaccines that showed potential for “depopulation” – both lowering lifespan AND reducing fertility.
And then somebody got ideas.
EVIL.
So what is the mechanism by which this happens? The fact of the matter is that we on the “outside” in “Fake Science” are learning as fast as we can. There are two main effects that we know about, from prior science, which seem relevant – ADE and OAS.
ADE
One effect behind a vaccine “making a disease worse” is called “antibody dependent enhancement”, or ADE for short. We can generalize that even further, to include other mechanisms than just the antibodies of “classic” ADE, by including anything that might be called “vaccine-dependent enhancement”, whether it involves antibodies or not. But for simplicity, let’s just call it all “ADE”.
Classic ADE involves a vaccine’s creation of what can be called “inappropriate antibodies”, which are problematic when the disease strikes later. Vaccination creates antibodies, and for whatever reason, those antibodies are not helpful when the disease strikes, but may actually make the situation WORSE, through various sins of omission or commission.
Now, we can expand that just a bit, to include other vaccine effects that make the disease worse, when one gets it. One such effect which appears relevant for COVID vaccines is a general DECREASE in immunity toward ALL DISEASES. This may be mediated though the interferon system.
There is still a lot of debate as to, and study of, what is going on in the weeks after COVID vaccination, but even the Faucists admit that immunity toward COVID itself is DECREASED immediately after injection, and does not rise to positive for a period of days to low weeks. (This, by the way, turned out to be a great excuse for ignoring vaccine side effects.) THEN, after specific immunity to COVID stays positive for a period of long weeks to low months, it tapers off, and people “need” boosters to maintain immunity toward COVID.
Meanwhile, during that entire time, general immunity is lowered toward EVERYTHING in many people, and does not recover for long weeks to months.
How this situation can possibly be regarded as good, mostly involves Anthony Fauci’s “antibody hypnosis”, which keeps us from seeing the bigger picture.
Dr. Nathan Thompson was one of the first to disclose loss of general immune function after COVID vaccination, and the powers that be, came after him HARD. His video disappeared everywhere.
Here are several posts where I covered such topics.
But before looking at those fascinating posts, let’s deal with OAS.
OAS
OAS stands for “original antigenic sin”. This is not actually a hard concept to understand. It is a cute way of saying that while our immune systems are designed to IMPRINT on whatever they were last exposed to, as they figure out an immune response, they ESPECIALLY tend to imprint on new things that they are FIRST exposed to. Therefore, if your immune system imprints on something WRONGLY or MISLEADINGLY the first time, that “sin” is carried on.
In some ways, OAS is the flip side of ADE. Two sides of the same coin. ADE blames the bad antibodies coming back to haunt. OAS blames the setting up of the bad antibodies. Almost the same thing, and often indicted in the same breath.
OAS is another way of viewing the failure of immunity to deal with evolving viruses. Relative to the new virus, the memory of the old virus is “sinful”.
OAS is likewise another way of viewing autoimmune disorders, where we accidentally (or intentionally, in the case of sterilization vaccines) create immunity toward something in our own bodies. The original sin of an inappropriate immunity carries on to cause later problems.
Booster Withdrawal Syndrome
So how do we view the Canadian results in terms of ADE and OAS?
In my opinion, the spike protein vaccines have a “narrowing” effect on immunity, which is the source of their OAS / ADE. They are overly focused on the spike protein, and in particular on the original Wuhan variant spike protein. The antibodies that are created and on duty are basically born as “yesterday’s news”, and not even much of that. “Yesterday’s local suburban news” is what those antibodies are.
Worse still, unlike natural, disease-conferred immunity, there is no immunity gained toward OTHER proteins created by the virus. Those MORE CONSERVED proteins are the ones where antibodies to ONE variant are GOOD AGAINST THE NEXT. Those critical antibodies are NOT created by exposure to the spike protein alone.
Score 1 for natural immunity – score 0 for simplistic spike protein vaccines.
Thus, because the vaccinee’s immune system is over-focused on an old spike protein and nothing else, it becomes worthless against new variants, no matter in what way the rapidly evolving spike proteins have changed. Worse, the immune system doesn’t “start over” and produce general antibodies to the unknown new threat – it keeps throwing the wrong specific ammo at the new virus. Worse still, only a RECENTLY BOOSTED (but not TOO recently booosted) immune system has competent immunity. A vaccinated but non-boosted individual is “running on empty” – and with the wrong kind of gasoline. They have low immunity, and what they have is wrong.
In other words, you’d better have a FRESH DOSE of the BAD VACCINE, once you start taking the bad vaccine. Either that, or stick with natural immunity.
Starting to think that the vaccine might not be a good idea? Read on.
What About Novavax?
I had high hopes for the protein-based Novavax vaccine. Sadly, THAT was before I understood that spike protein pathogenicity dooms these vaccines. Robert Malone actually tried to warn FDA about the problems of building a vaccination program on the spike protein. His efforts were rebuffed.
Absolutely not! Here are my top 5 reasons why you shouldn’t.
COVID is a disease which is easily treatable. Why would you take a risk on a new product with unknown risks when you don’t need to?
As Andrew Wakefield and others point out, we’ve never had a vaccine [presumably meaning a COVID vaccine] where the benefits > outweigh the risk. While this might be the first one, you’ll want to wait for an independent study that proves it.
You can’t trust the FDA, CDC, or drug companies. They have to come clean and admit their issues before we can ever trust them again.
You run the risk of original antigenic sin (OAS) and/or antibody dependent enhancement (ADE). In short, you run the risk of making yourself worse off.
We just don’t know. We don’t know anything about their adjuvant — Matrix M. We don’t know anything about safety. We don’t know if they can manufacture it properly (they are now on their third contract manufacturer).
Steve has three additional links which are fantastic reads. They explain FROM THE DATA exactly why Novavax is both low in benefits and high in risks. This is CLEARLY due to the pathogenic spike protein.
In my opinion, it’s very unlikely that a COVID vaccine which beats disease-conferred immunity will be available for YEARS. Sure, I’ll keep watching, but Novavax is almost certainly not it.
TL;DR – “I believe that mRNA vaccines have serious risks that would be REVEALED by approval of the Novavax vaccine.” –Wolf Moon I’m actually surprised that FDA and Pfizer/China allowed Novavax to get this close to approval, but they clearly have the upcoming vote RIGGED, just like the 2020 election. The trusty “board mules” that …
In my opinion, the approval of a “likely safer” coronavirus vaccine is – in the long game – a big win for popular science – here’s why. The approaching approval (or not) of a competing EUA for the NON-mRNA NON-viral-vector NON-genetic Novavax coronavirus vaccine is going to tell us a LOT about how much power …
I wanted Novavax approved, not only because it was “safer”, but so that “popular science” would be able to get the data for Novavax out of VAERS, after which we can compare it with mRNA vaccines. This will give us powerful estimates on the “price” of the industry misleading us away from the safest possible vaccines, to ones that they preferred for research reasons.
Novavax still has to get past the CDC, and I would not put it past “Rochelle The Knife” Walensky to kill Novavax, but as I have explained elsewhere, I do think that Novavax has made implicit promises not to brag up their (somewhat) better safety relative to mRNA vaccines. They will HANG TOGETHER to make sure they don’t hang separately.
Bottom Line
The bottom line is this. DO NOT GET THE JAB. There are too many reasons right now to skip the jab and to rely on natural immunity.
If I change my mind on that, you will be the first to know, and also the first to know WHY.

Thanks to TradeBait’s recent story centered on Elvis Presley, I was actually in an Elvis mood when my wife – an Elvis fan long before we met – decided that “we” were going to see the new Elvis movie at the earliest opportunity.
Not having been to very many movies recently, I’m pretty much immune to most of the propaganda, in part because it jumps out at me AS propaganda. During “trailer time” they were laying it on THICK. I think that EVERY single message had AT LEAST some propagandistic edge – and MOST were straight-up PC messaging.
The political correctness effects of BlackRock, DIE (diversity, inclusion, equity), ESG (environment, social, governance), and “The Black List” (Marxist filter on financial backing through POC puppets) are all extremely visible in everything – product ads – trailers – public service messages.
It’s not like I’m “opposed” to some of these ideas, but the heavy-handed, communistic, “struggle session” nature of the messaging is just CRINGE CITY.
I mean, good grief. I thought that Dove Soap was going to commit hara-kiri for having utterly failed black America in some way that I still don’t grasp. PUHLEASE. You sold soap, for crying out loud. And you sold it to everybody! Black people too! Give yourselves a pat on the back and GO HOME. You’re ridiculous!
(I can’t find a video of what I saw, but this is just a hint of it.)
So anyway, I was primed for all kinds of cultural Marxism when the Elvis show began.
The opening sequence did NOT disappoint in that respect. A Tom Hanks dream sequence, filled with occult and pedophile symbolism, just had me shaking my head.
Flying spaghetti monster squids with the boy love symbol?
Snow globes heavily veering into crystal ball territory?
The movie had no place to go but up.
AND IT DID.
It’s hard for me to describe what this movie is, but I can say that it grew on me, until I felt very satisfied at the end.
It’s more like a work of ART trying to explain the SOUL of Elvis Presley, than anything else. And oddly – uniquely – this movie does so through the eyes of a rather brilliant CON-MAN manager, who used that same deep understanding of Elvis to first “own” and then manipulate him.
Elvis loved what he did. He loved music. He loved the crowd. He loved performing. He loved his parents – forcing himself into an unending vow to “take care of them”, no matter the costs.
Elvis Presley was one of those brilliantly over-performing co-dependents – no bones about it – and the movie shows it.
Judging from my own memories of history, the movie “got it right”, too, although I think the movie played some things (like infidelity, overweight, and drug use) more metaphorically than factually, while still admitting them unflinchingly. There was a lot of “compression”
The movie did NOT show the “Rat Ranch” – but it showed the same thing differently and in several ways. Names and locations were chosen to fluff and protect the legend just a bit.
Things WERE highlighted or magnified in focus to show why Elvis always crossed racial barriers in his appeal.
Like I said – it’s ART – not a documentary.
One thing which is actually cool is Tom Hanks’ disturbing accent, which was intentionally over-done in order to make viewers realize that “something was amiss” with Presley’s manager, Col. Tom Parker. In reality, people sometimes took a while to pick up on Parker’s accent, which sounded “regional Southern” yet somehow “off”. The accent betrays a secret which was in some ways part of the downfall of both Elvis and Parker, but I won’t spoil the movie by going into the specifics. Just know that Hanks was asked not to do his subject’s actual subtle accent, but rather to “push it” so that listeners would pick up the clue. See THIS LINK.
There are other breaks with reality which – well – I’m less willing to defend, except to call them artistic license.
Just watch this trailer. You only need to see about a minute of it. Look for what is best described as the “pink scene” around 50 seconds in.
If the “pink Elvis” bothers you, trust me – the movie is far more blatant, and even pushes the “trans” stuff into the narration. You could say that there is an “appeal to gay revisionism”.
I may be mistaken about this point, but I’m pretty sure I’m not. It is my distinct impression that “Elvis the Pelvis” was a lot more about “manly macho” than about “tranny pink” and “girly make-up”. There is a distinct “LGBTQCIA” nature to the retelling that just does not comport with the reality of Elvis Presley.
Likewise, there seems to be much more “ESG” in this Elvis, than in the one I remember. Yeah, Elvis was no bigot, and he had a very subtle way of not dignifying the bigots who hated him, but there seems to be an effort here to turn Elvis into a fist-raised civil rights icon, which I somehow missed. The Elvis I remember was perhaps the most successful “can’t we all just get along” type who never even had to say it. I say we should give him credit for being the KING of that approach, because I’m pretty sure that’s gonna be fashionable again, and in a big way.
And there’s more, in the way of classic cultural Marxism. There is an extended sequence which pivots on “out-of-style traditional Christmas entertainment” as the boring cultural bad guy of the plot, threatening to undo poor Elvis, and that negativity is just SO typical of H-wood’s subtle communist psychological programming.
On the other hand, some of this stuff is actually a reasonable part of the artistic compression – such as highlighting that MLKJ was already speaking on the negative side of rock and roll culture for kids.
Complicated business.
So YEAH – there’s a good bit of lefty psy-op under the hood. Be AWARE of that to defuse it, or just don’t even bother seeing the movie, if Hollywood politicking crosses your red lines.
BUT – like I said – it’s art. It tells us as much about THIS time, as it does about THAT time.
Technically, the movie does a lot of things right. The women’s costuming and hairstyling is fantastic – watch for a few Oscar nominations. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many women in a film showing the actual beauty of women in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
Austin Butler as Elvis Presley is VERY GOOD. He won me over to the point where the real Elvis footage at the end served as a “high five” for a job well done.
The Presley family felt the same way – they got “carried away” by the performance, just like I did. Same with my wife – the “real” Elvis fan. She loved it.
I had some fun watching this next video after the movie, because all the actors are so much more “2022” in reality, than they were in the flick. The differences are striking. They’re all modern Hollywood dweebs in “reality”, but in the movie, they do seem far more “real”, as part of the past. Or is that just me? (*sigh*)
Compare the lady playing young Priscilla, above, to her transformation in the film, shown below.
I know that picture on the right probably makes the movie look like it’s all a bunch of grins and giggles – well, just think of that same gal throwing a mean fist of pill bottles across a Vegas penthouse, after Elvis shoots up the place, before she walks out.
There’s no whitewash – BUT there was also some extremely convincing romance and love shown – even when it all falls apart. I feel like I really gained some needed insight into the relationship of Elvis and Priscilla. I feel like something healed.
So there you have it. An interesting movie. Glad I saw it. Consider a viewing yourself – especially of you love his music. There’s a LOT of good music in this movie.

“Go for the art, not the history or the politics. Stay for the music.”
I had already seen the video I’m about to show you, when I watched the press conference in which Florida Governor Ron DeSantis powerfully chastised the media for mischaracterizing his administration’s position of OPPOSING the mRNA vaccines for kids, as PROHIBITING the vaccines for kids – something which DeSantis reminded the idiot media that he cannot do.
However, DeSantis didn’t “hide” his opposition in the least. He still seemed to be doing everything in his power to get parents to look at Pfizer’s clinical trial data (or lack thereof) allegedly justifying this needless – if not counterproductive – if not downright dangerous vaccine.
Thus, when I saw how STRONGLY DeSantis held his ground, I thanked God that somebody in his administration surely saw the same video that I had seen.
YOU NEED TO SEE IT, TOO.
Just watch this. It’s short and to the point.

Twitter will try to remove this tweet from the historical record, so let’s just make a copy.
In my opinion, this Pfizer clinical trial is nearly 100% BAD SCIENCE.
That such bad science is not merely allowed to pass without comment by America’s major scientific organizations, such as the AMA and the ACS, but was in fact used by the FDA to approve utterly needless vaccines – this kind of failure of American science is SOUL-DEADENING.
It’s not just one person here or a research group there. This is multiplicity of large-group institutional failure.
Personally, I blame this shocking failure on the triumph of Chinese ethics over traditional Western ethics.
Pfizer, with its global HQ for clinical trial data in Wuhan (SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!) is now allowing China and the CCP to effectively run all its clinical trials. This horrible, shoddy trial just REEKS of a sick combination of malignant Chinese battered anarcho-capitalism and corrupt Chinese communism. This is typical “top down” forcing of mistakes due to POLITICS and GREED.
I have been telling people that I will NEVER take another drug from Pfizer.
Day two of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland started off on a concerning note.
Some of the chief architects of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores met during a session called “Global ESG for Global Resilience,” and have clearly decided to double down on their objective for a new global economic order that transcends national borders and replaces free-market capitalism.
Destroying free-market capitalism in favor of a new “stakeholder” model, in which global elites hold all the power, has been their objective for years. A single ESG system gets them much closer to this goal, and will be significantly more effective at eroding national sovereignty, circumventing democratic processes, coercing companies into compliance, and ultimately restricting individual choice.
Early in the session, Hong Kong Stock Exchange Chairman Laura Cha got right to the point. She revealed, “To make ESG disclosures meaningful, we need to have a harmonized standard… It would be very good in terms of the work that the ISSB (the International Sustainability Standards Board) is doing to bring about standardized global measures.”
Don’t look at me to go “nervous Nellie” on this – or to ignore it.
DO NOT think for a second that we are going alarmist, Eeyore, despondent, or defeatist on this. OH NO.
We’re going to beat the SHIT out of ESG, and every WOKE will go BROKE as they cry over their own self-destruction.
We have SLAIN the CRT dragon, to the point that “they” of all stripes are already crying over that little dying monster.
WE *WILL* defeat ESG.
And we will have a good time doing it.
We already have a great head start on this.
ANDREW TORBA was way ahead on this stuff with his “parallel economy” thinking. His contention is that our best fight is to simply REPLACE the dying, suicidal, elite-controlled, leftard economy.
EMERALD ROBINSON was also way ahead on the solution, with her thinking that RELIGION / CULTURE / POLITICS are LINKED IN A STREAM, and that religion is upstream of all the “issues” of contention.
Combining these two ideas leads straight to a TRANSFORMATION of ESG into RCF, and RCF is a PARALLEL way for us to judge, criticize, reject, and not be part of THEIR religious, cultural, political, and economic suicide.
Let me explain.
Environmental —> Religious
We all know that “climate change” (formerly “global warming”) is part of the left’s insane, misdirected, knee-jerk, corrupt, herd-like, virtue-signal-filled version of environmentalism, which largely serves to enrich virtue-signaling elites, destroy America and develop China. Every “mistake” that leftist environmentalism makes (see masks in the ocean, dead eagles, coal plants in China) is excused, as it answers to nobody while ACTUALLY destroying the environment through insane policies which cause unplanned consequences in unpredictable places. Compliant companies, governments, and even individuals do things that make no sense, and push compliant science to say it knows things for certain, when it does NOT know them, largely for “woke cartel” profiteering.
This is where the right to debate man’s place in this universe has been stripped away from the people themselves, and given to self-serving elites, via their lapdog “experts” who are willing to embrace financially predetermined policies.
ESG may seem that it only allows “them” (globalist elites) to do what they have already been doing for years, but the trick is that it allows them to do it PUBLICLY and without the slightest guilt. It gives shocking legitimacy to political, cultural and religious discrimination in finance.
Environmentalism as practiced “religiously” by the left, is basically a way to allow an anti-human religion to take hold and control humanity, which is deemed “environmentally sinful”.
Environmentalism, by the left’s standards, IS the secular left’s religion.
To counter it, we need to remember what the Boy Scouts always thought was important – RELIGION. Real religion. Real, time-tested, CONSERVED, religion.
To COUNTER the left, we need to evaluate companies, governments, organizations, and even individuals of the left on their RELIGIOUS values, actions, and record.
Will there be screaming?
YES. And it will be music to our ears.
One of the great advantages of going full-bore to RELIGION in “rating” the left in opposition to “environmental”, is that it will not only spotlight the horrible record of woke Christianity and Judaism – it will directly attack Hollywood and the woke, mass-shooter-producing gaming industry with the very thing they THOUGHT they had run out of town in the 1970s – the moral guidance of the Catholic Church and Orthodox Judaism. By having a certain amount of moral control over movies, “decency standards” were able to rein in some of Hollywood’s worst behavior. Sadly, the Soviet Union and cultural Marxists in the United States destroyed any morality control in Hollywood, by MOCKING decency controls.
Too bad for them. We bring it back under OUR CONTROL this time.
Our TRUE religion, applied as ratings, will leave their weak and worthless environmental religion where it belongs – in the dustbin of history.
Social —> Cultural
When the leftists and the globalists say “social”, it really means SOCIALIST. This is where ESG basically says “we will discriminate based on politics”.
This is absolute bullshit. To counter it, we flip THEIR word for our word – the one used over and over by Steve Bannon as being “upstream of politics”. That word is CULTURAL.
CULTURAL includes both the “social” and the “individual”, because a good and decent culture can and should RESPECT the individual as a critical part of building a healthy society.
This one is pretty easy, and VERY powerful. This is where we FIGHT BACK against cultural Marxism. If it is detrimental to our CULTURE, our SOCIETY, our NATION, and our PEOPLE, including INDIVIDUALS regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, etc., then it is CULTURALLY NEGATIVE.
That doesn’t mean that when “groups” step out of line, culturally, they get a pass.
Black is fine. BLACK LIVES MATTER RIOTING and RACE-HOAXING are culturally rotten.
Jewish is fine. ANTI-CHRISTIAN machinations (CRT, ESG, SEL, hoaxes) are culturally rotten.
White is fine. Actual, real, WHITE SUPREMACY and NAZISM are culturally rotten.
See? This is easy. It’s like falling off a log.
Trump and MAGA do “high cultural rating” in their SLEEP.
Is “culture-rating” going to make the radical left and the globalists cry? Get ready for tasty, salty, liberal tears on globalist ice.
Governance —> Freedom
This is a DIRECT counterattack on the idea that “governance” (more like meddling) is what is needed.
Where THEY will rank things low on “governance”, WE will rank highly on FREEDOM.
This allows us to ENCOURAGE FREEDOM in every place where the left claims somebody has a low governance score.
We will MOCK the left’s ESG when we counter it – eventually allowing low ESG scores to be a BADGE OF HONOR – backed up by high RCF scores.
And we can grow the idea of “freedom” scoring well beyond their “governance” boundaries, because YEAH, WE’RE FREE TO DO IT.
See how great it is to NOT be constrained by their thinking, by merely DEFENDING?
Going on OFFENSE in COUNTERATTACK has its advantages.
We will come up with scoring that makes the conniving, scheming, globalist SCUM have a BAD DAY EVERY DAY.
TL;DR –
THEY want to politicize finance?
WE will do it even better, even bigger, and when we do…..
It’s getting ridiculous, how these Biden scandals NOT ONLY involve the same corrupt forces over and over and over again, but EVEN MORE how they manage to “hook up” more and more of the same corrupt players in each new scandal. It’s like they’re turning into “all star cast” events.
Ridiculous!
The reason I became outraged enough to do this post, is that I could literally SEE how Twitter managed to pull off the SPIKING of the latest chapter in this story, by kicking investigative reporter Patrick Howley off Twitter right before the new “Chinese money” angle of this story – HIS STORY – broke.
Notice how they set it up using the Fake News Media – just like when they set up Trump.
No, I have a much better idea of how and why they took down Howley – as he was about to blow the doors open on what I’m about to tell you.
Howley’s reporting on the controversial Biden Center at University of Pennsylvania is actually a great story, which began back in February, but it has a lot of moving parts, and deserves some careful analysis, because I suspect it goes MUCH, MUCH deeper than what Howley found, even adding his recent China stuff that Twitter successfully blocked.
My extension of his work even brings in stuff from Robert Malone, who is just as shocked about the corrupting influence of the World Economic Forum on SCIENCE as I am. Malone said we need to find the tentacles of WEF, and that is exactly what I’m doing here. In fact, we have WEF’s and China’s tentacle prints all over this sucker.
Indeed, I would almost go so far as to describe the Biden Center at University of Pennsylvania as “Biden’s version of the Clinton Foundation”.
No wonder Mayorkas and “Big Sis” are forced to cover for the guy.
You starting to see why this is important?
So what I’m going to do is to present the proper links to Patrick Howley’s stuff, but then elaborate it with my own CONTEXT about the suppression of his story, and how that leads DIRECTLY to today’s headlines.
This is almost EXACTLY like what happened with the New York Post story about the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell”. Twitter deleted that breaking news tweet, and even suspended the account, to protect the Obama-Biden regime from that story.
Twitter acted like a NANNY and said “NO – you people can’t talk about this.” And what happened? We “elected” – with a lot of cheating – a damned TRAITOR – more corrupt than any president in MY lifetime – who seems intent on starting a world war, after he destroys our economy.
TWITTER’S.
ACTIONS.
HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
Well, I’m sick of it. So I’m talking BACK to this suppression, and I’m going to spread the word on this rather complex little scandal which deserves much more sunlight than I, personally, can give it.
BUSTED: UPenn, Sponsor of Biden’s Think Tank, Profits From Vaccines And Had Staff Shakeup Over Foreign Money Including ‘CHINA’ Money. I am on the Stew Peters Show TODAY @RealStewPeters and I am breaking it first on Gab. LET’S GO!!!!
I’m going to go through this carefully, because it’s the DETAILS that show both the OUTRAGEOUS and the HEROIC.
Howley’s early reporting on this stuff was back in February, when he uncovered most of the Pfizer / UPenn / Biden Center / FactCheck.org corruption. That stuff is actually pretty shocking, and most people haven’t heard about it.
What’s happening now, is that Howley apparently got some additional tips from University staff who were “let go” when there were questions about Chinese money coming into the university, and where it might be going.
Hey, I’ve got questions, too.
We could shrug our shoulders and say “OH, WELL, IT’S JUST ONE MORE BIDEN SCANDAL”, or even worse “OH, WELL, IT’S JUST ONE MORE BIDEN SCANDAL BEING COVERED UP”, but NO – not this time. We’re gonna give this the exposure it deserves.
The FAKE NEWS won’t cover it, but WE WILL. And we’ll cover the cover-up.
First things first, you will notice at the top of that Gab post, that MAGA hottie Lauren Witzke is reposting this ON GAB.
That is THIS WOMAN.
Gotta love this lady. She is very smart, an incredible fighter, utterly unafraid of the PC crowd, and yes – she is not exactly hard to look at.
But why is she retweeting this on GAB and not TWITTER?
“oH, tHaT’S WHy!”
Hilarious!
I love the little “Don’t miss what’s happening” at the end. Twitter literally makes us MISS what’s happening, and then has the CHUTZPAH to say “Don’t miss what’s happening”.
What a bunch of scumbags.
This is just typical communist or Nazi hypocrisy, glorifying themselves in the humiliation of their victims. Twitter reminds me of the SS officers who forced black American POWs to crawl on hands and knees and rode on them like animals. Or the young ChiCom TOAD who took over my old employer, and LECTURED the American employees whose jobs he was about to steal, how this was a great victory and partnership for us.
That’s the kind of mentality that Twitter has engendered in the people who work there. Think about it. Twitter suppresses the people we go looking for, and then says “Don’t miss those people! Come to Twitter!”
You EVIL fuckers.
It’s just galling as all hell. Twitter DESERVES to be taken over by Elon Musk.
THEY DESERVE IT.
And why is Howley “breaking” this latest segment of the story on GAB and not his usual platform – TWITTER?
Well, as we will hear later, Howley was suspended on Twitter one day before the latest update on the story broke. And here’s the boy who carried the knife for the Biden administration.
All they can do now, to cover up their crime, is throw the chaff of “racism” and the countermeasures of “white supremacy”.
HOW CONVENIENT. But why?
Well, when you get inside this story, you will hear all kinds of important names. There’s a secretary of state, who is connected to a university, and a presidential center at that university.
There’s an ambassador, who was the university president, until made ambassador by a nation’s president, who happens to be the same president with the presidential center at the university.
There’s a drug company, deeply related to this university and its president, and to the nation’s president, and which is now almost its own branch of government, which makes payments to the university, where much of the technology of a certain vaccine was developed, provided that the vaccine is repeatedly approved by agencies under control of the national president, and is otherwise “recommended” or “required” into increased usage (they use the word “milestones”) by everybody else.
There is a very RACIST communist country, which shockingly did ALL the clinical trials for the drug company, including the vaccine, sending money to the university in exchange for admitting students OF that race and FROM that country – and which money is free to flow to a certain center connected to the president who appointed the ambassador.
And THOSE students from THAT racist communist country are known as “princelings”, being the children of the elite communist leadership of the country.
So there are a lot of important people connected to this story, and SOMEHOW their likely concerns were addressed by Twitter taking down the pesky reporter one day before his story broke.
In my opinion, it is very likely that our government was SPYING on Mister Howley, and was in communication with Twitter, ready to “prevent disinformation”.
In other words, the lying, shady mechanism that will be formalized under “Big Sis”, a.k.a. Nina Jankowicz, is ALREADY working, to some extent, and the ACTUAL result of “Big Sis” and her “Disinformation Governance Board” will be to ORDER social media platforms not to allow certain things to be posted.
In fact, it would not surprise me if Nina Jankowicz herself was ALREADY involved in this little episode. You see – that is a common tactic of the communists – to “propose” what they’re already doing – and which they know they can successfully and stealthily deploy.
Maybe somebody should ask her, although I doubt that she will tell us the truth.
SO – now that I’ve hinted at the full breadth of this story, let’s look at the exact details.
Let’s go from the Gab post to the latest National File article.
[The following is a snippet of the beginning of the article.]
University of Pennsylvania financial documents obtained by NATIONAL FILE show that the UPenn fund that bankrolls Joe Biden’s think tank the Penn Biden Center makes money in “milestone payments” from the sale of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines and from FDA approvals of the injections. The University of Pennsylvania, which paid Joe Biden prior to his presidential run, was accepting big money from donors apparently to carve out spaces for foreign students at UPenn including from Communist China, and NATIONAL FILE can confirm that internal controversy and a staff shakeup occurred when staff questioned how international funds were being spent. With Joe Biden able to return to the Penn Biden Center after his presidency, Biden puts himself in a position to personally profit from the vaccines he is pushing. Pfizer-BioNTech is trying to get a new authorization for a child booster for 5 to 11 year olds.
Under the watch of UPenn president Amy Gutmann, massive amounts of money have flowed into the university’s funds apparently to import students from around the world including from Communist China and the “People’s Republic of China” with administrator notes including “MAKE SURE STUDENT IS FROM CHINA…” Amy Gutmann, the UPenn president who oversaw the establishment of Joe Biden’s think tank the Penn Biden Center in 2018, is now Biden’s Ambassador to Germany. There were arguments in the UPenn administration about where the Chinese-oriented money and other foreign money was going. Some insiders questioned how funds for international students were being managed without transparency, and the arguments led to a staff overhaul. The controversy stemmed from funds set aside for international students.
The Penn Biden Center is housed on the UPenn campus and in Washington, D.C. pulling funds directly from the general funds of the University of Pennsylvania, and Joe Biden or his surrogates can return to the Penn Biden Center after his presidency. Joe Biden’s think tank was previously managed by his current Secretary of State Tony Blinken. One donation specified “$25k each” in payment to UPenn in exchange for “Students from the People’s Republic of China admitted…”
Documents obtained by NATIONAL FILE show that the University of Pennsylvania, which hosts and funds Joe Biden’s think tank called the Penn Biden Center, directly profits from the sale of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Coronavirus vaccines. The University gets more money if more vaccines are sold. The University of Pennsylvania also gets “milestone payments” when the Biden administration’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which represents a massive conflict of interest for Biden. BioNTech pays the University of Pennsylvania Board of Trustees directly, and the university is protected from civil liability if people try to sue for “bodily injury” or “death” caused by BioNTech vaccines.
BioNTech signed a licensing agreement in 2018 with the University of Pennsylvania, which directly funds the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. Even though Coronavirus had not yet leaked out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology when the deal was made, the 2018 agreement ensured massive payments for the University of Pennsylvania if its technology ended up getting used in new mRNA-based vaccines. Well, UPenn’s technology did end up getting used in the mRNA-based Coronavirus vaccine produced by Pfizer and BioNTech, and the deal has led to massive revenue for the university. Joe Biden, who was working for the University of Pennsylvania when the deal was made, received more than $900,000 from the University of Pennsylvania in the two years before he ran for president in this past election.
The University of Pennsylvania also houses the pro-vaccine website FactCheck.org. University of Pennsylvania president Amy Gutmann is now Biden’s nominee for Ambassador to Germany. The Biden administration’s FDA has speedily approved or authorized Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines including for children — all while the Penn Biden Center’s parent university enjoys massive profits from vaccine sales and FDA approval. And the Pfizer-connected FDA even knew about numerous adverse events for children related to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, but allowed children to be injected with it anyway. Now, as the FDA considers emergency use authorization for a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children as young as six months old, the direct financial relationship between these vaccines and Joe Biden’s think tank must be exposed.
There are three more big sections of well-documented and sourced reporting I have not included above.
University of Pennsylvania Profits From Pfizer-BioNTech And Moderna Vaccines
Joe Biden’s Penn Biden Center is hosted and reportedly funded by the University of Pennsylvania
UPenn Hosts The Pro-Vaccine Website FactCheck.Org
I think the last one is particularly relevant to Ms. Jankowicz. Do you think that this “disinformation expert” lady who LIED about the Biden laptop might have FactCheck.Org on speed dial?
I really urge you to get in there and read that last section, because the FUNDING of FactCheck.org is really ugly, high-level, evil stuff. It’s INCESTUOUS. This is the REGIME ELITE protecting itself.
This is WHY people go along with the lies – because there’s TOO MUCH MONEY AND POWER involved. Nobody even thinks about valuing THE TRUTH above the money and power.
NOW – I think it’s very important to look at the lady ambassador, who was president of that university, deeply related to all the vaccine development, tied to the profits thereof, and nominally in charge of FactCheck.org – Amy Gutmann. In my opinion, she is key, just like Michael Sussmann is key to the Russia hoax. It is these hidden, high-position players who orchestrate the corruption. Just imagine what she is going to be able to do in Germany, as the American Bolshevik Elite now go to war against Russia FROM Europe, through Germany and Ukraine, trying to bring back the neoliberal version of Bolshevism everywhere on this planet.
This woman is not a physical or biological scientist. Although she entered college as a math major, she switched to political science, and all three of her degrees are in that subject. Her biography is very well worth reading.
This section, from Wikipedia, includes key points (my emphasis).
In 2009, Barack Obama appointed Gutmann chair of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, and reappointed her in early 2012, a position she held through 2016.[64][65] The Bioethics Commission issued 10 reports[66] on a variety of issues including protections for adult and pediatric participants in medical research, and the ethics of genomics and neuroscience.[67] The Commission’s meetings were open to the public and streamed live—and all its recommendations to the President were unanimous.[68][69][70] Its capstone report, Bioethics for Every Generation, focused on the mission of bioethics commissions in advancing democratic deliberation and bioethics education.
Recapping, what are in my opinion the important involvements.
chairman of Obama’s commission on bioethics
national security advisor to the FBI on academic (university) issues
member of commission on trust, media, and democracy
on the board of the Vanguard group
on the board of the globalist Berggruen Institute (transhumanism issues)
member of WEF and particularly its forum GULF (university leaders)
There is a MIND-BLOWING amount of information about her WEF involvement.
I’m not going to give links for them to cover up this stuff – just use search engines. It’s everywhere. The earlier pictures are also from WEF gatherings.
Now that we’ve added WEF to the picture, I think the details are going to fill in themselves. THIS is exactly what KlauSS SSchwab was talking about.
I think it’s pretty obvious that Patrick Howley was on a VERY hot story, and “the powers that be” simply slowed down the discovery process by hindering it out of the gate.
Finally, let me show you the sad reality of what Howley was forced to do, to try to get SOME exposure – ANY exposure – to this horrifying story of greed, money, and “shabby ethics in the name of ethics”.
Howley was forced to take this story to Stew Peters, who is a great guy, but nowhere close to the mainstream. The mainstream media writes off Stew without a thought, whereas a guy like Tucker can get at least SOME mainstream eyeballs on his material. SO – what is very likely a scandal every bit as big as the Biden laptop – but a LOT less “sexy” – was forced to go on the “cobra water” circuit, which is not exactly high-credibility.
Just watch. Listen for the “kicked off Twitter” part in particular.
I think Stew makes a very good point, even though gently. Nobody is going to be arrested. The people who order arrests are RUNNING THE SHOW. They’re in charge. Nobody is going to use the corrupt FBI to arrest their own corrupt bosses.
But that’s not the point here.
Our point is to make the WHOLE WORLD realize that we are ruled by a bunch of scumbags.
SO – just like the “Argentinian generals” – after their last failed war – when they go down – when they finally go down – there will be NOBODY on their side, except themselves.
And there are a lot more of us, than there are of them.
Until then, patience.
It would be nice if this story got a deeper look. At the very least, I think we may have found a key point of intersection between the WEFFEN SS, China, Pfizer, Biden, Mayorkas and Big Sis, and their preparation for the COVID SCAM.
