Up front I want to say, if we are to be a free people it is up to us to take control of our lives. We have been deliberately trained to remain infantile and to look to an authority to tell us what to do. POTUS Trump wants us to be adults.
A word about POTUS Trump and Sec Kennedy.
Trump spent 5 years in a military school and then made his money building in one of the most corrupt cities in the USA. He KNOWS strategy. Kennedy is a trained, successful lawyer. He watched his father, his uncle and his cousin get assassinated by the Cabal. He also knows the enemy and strategy.
We focus on various battles – Vaccines, Epstein, illegals, crime, fuel prices, AI, Flock Cameras – POTUS and his Secretaries are focused on the WAR. The Globalist Cabal has various troops they deploy against We the People. The Fake News being a major weapon. Commie judges and the Senate being other major weapons. Then there are sanctuary cities and states, Antifa, drugs…. However I think the biggest battle is against the Mercantilists based in Europe & the City of London. Also remember POTUS is trying to bring back our industrial base. That includes Big Pharma that was exported to China and India thanks to the World Trade Organization ratification.
If you go back in history, depending on the author, you find similar systems. Whether it is Rome and slaves or Europe and serfs, you have an upper class (oligarchy) usually a priesthood and a thin layer of technical people. The rest of the people are serfs or slaves. Essentially feudalism.
Your government is a corporatocracy, a new authoritarian state in the process of consolidating your output into a more controllable, exploitable channel. The reason you are being misled by your government and told that all of this is good for you, is because there is no profit in managing a mass uprising. It is too disruptive. The markets want you to continue to consume—quietly and obediently. The technology that is being marketed to you is actually being used to condition you to expect to be spied on, and to spy on others. Every totalitarian state in history has relied on data collection. The Nazis were masters of data collection and analysis. Your government now has technological capabilities that far exceed anything ever seen on the planet to this date. You are in the midst of the biggest public relations scam in the history of the world. The pretty pastel vision of life in a SmartGrowth development is a manipulation, a mask. In fact these plans are designed to restrict your freedom of movement and choice.
According to ICLEI, if you only have one car or no car your disposable income will be at least 20% higher. Does this mean that you will have 20% more money to spend? No. It means that corporations can lower your wages by 20% and still sell you the same number of goods. A compression of the economy with a more efficient outcome for big business. Concentrating populations into urban areas where they can be easily monitored, where their usage of energy can be regulated, and where their consumption of goods can be restricted, is a goal of UN Agenda 21…
Normal use is the little green areas. Again, we got the future plans for our county. My farm is within a wildlife corridor and thus no human use will be allowed.
Getting rid of mRNA vaccines does not get rid of the real problem–the Oligarchy who actually rule us. If Kennedy & Trump manage to succeed in getting rid of mRNA vaccines, our rulers would just use a different method to cull the herd. Why do you think POTUS keeps saying Iran must never have a nuclear weapon?
In short POTUS is getting rid of the guy with the gun NOT THE GUN!

I want to use oil as an example of how complicated things actually are.
Brent Crude Oil – 60-Day Price Trend. Brent crude oil– the international benchmark that pricesapproximately 65% of the world’s traded crude… Brent crude trades at $114.89/bbl per barrel. The Strait of Hormuz crisis, OPEC+ production decisions, and sanctions on major producers are reshaping global energy markets. Oil prices directly affect gasoline costs, inflation, defense budgets, and geopolitical stability worldwide….
Five major crude oil benchmarks serve different regions and market segments. Understanding the spread between these benchmarks reveals supply constraints, sanctions effects, and regional demand patterns.
BENCHMARK .. PRICE USD/BBL .. EXCHANGE .. REGION .. DESCRIPTION
Brent Crude ……… $114.89 ……… ICE London …… Global ….. International
~65% of the world’s traded oil. [Price] sourced from North Sea production.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
WTI ……………. $108.20 ………….NYMEX…….Americas U.S. domestic benchmark.
(West Texas Intermediate) Delivered at Cushing, Oklahoma. Trades at a discount to Brent due to landlocked delivery. [And NOT because it is American oil.]
January 2026, the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) — which accounts for the overwhelming majority of North Sea oil output — produced an average of 2.219 million barrels per day of oil, natural gas liquids (NGL), and condensate… the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) ..with crude oil production falling from 0.56 million bpd in 2024 to 0.40 million bpd by 2029 [and 0.93 projected for 2026.]
So somewhere around 3.1 million barrels a dayof North Sea oil is used to price almost 65 million barrels a day.
The financiers in London are controlling the pricing, NOT the oil producers! As The Network of Global Corporate Controlshowed, “…737 top holders accumulate 80% of the control over the value of all TNCs[Trans National Corporations] …A relevant additional fact at this point is that ¾ of the core are financial intermediaries...”
These financiers, the City of London are POTUS Trump’s targets. That is why Mark Carney is acting nutz.
TradeBait goes into this too, only looking at the situation from the point of view of the US military.

THE ENEMY
Our enemy, once they had lost the overt fights against the USA, turned to psychological warfare.
“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.”
“ Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
Bertrand Russell was a “scientific consultant” to evil psychopaths who wanted to run a world tyranny. In this book, he lays out a framework for a “scientific” global dictatorship, and ponders the intricacies of bringing it about, while blithely penning his sociopathic rationalizations for moving forward with it…
– p56 [1] On education “The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.”
– p41 [2] “In like manner, the scientific rulers will provide one kind of education for ordinary men and women, and another for those who are to become holders of scientific power. Ordinary men and women will be expected to be docile, industrious, punctual, thoughtless, and contented. Of these qualities, probably contentment will be considered the most important. In order to produce it, all the researches of psycho-analysis, behaviourism, and biochemistry will be brought into play…. All the boys and girls will learn from an early age to be what is called ‘co-operative,’ i.e., to do exactly what everybody is doing. Initiative will be discouraged in these children, and insubordination, without being punished, will be scientifically trained out of them.” “It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries. Fichte laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished.” – p61 [3] On control over opinion “The completeness of the resulting control over opinion depends in various ways upon scientific technique. Where all children go to school, and all schools are controlled by the government, the authorities can close the minds of the young to everything contrary to official orthodoxy.
(Jun. 19, 2018)—The kindest thing we can say about Queen’s Privy Council kingpin Lord Mark Malloch-Brown is that he is certainly one of a kind.
It has taken an entire group of researchers over a month just to gather the facts about him. These facts are scattered across the Internet in many dozens of biographies in an evident strategy to confuse people about his background. No two are alike. These convoluted biographies are telling for a man with literally trillions of dollars at his fingertips; meaning he can buy national elections anywhere on the planet, but he cannot seem to write his resume…
….the Queen’s Privy Council and the United Nations plan for us. Exploitation, abuse and euthanasia. They don’t even hide the fact that they want to exterminate 75-90% of the world’s population (see video-taped comments by eugenicists Prince Philip and Ted Turner).
Is the above article, bafflegab? Truth? Or a mix?

WOLF MOON onmRNAVACCINES
AND THIS IS KEY.
If what Wolf proposes is true, POTUS unleashed the brainstorming of Americans to find ways to mitigate the effects of the clot shots. Not only did Trump, spike the guns of the 10 years of lockdown crowd AND not require or promote the clot shot, but early on he promoted alternatives. Trump and Dr Navarro even got India to manufacture HCQ for the USA and the USA then had strategic reserves of the stuff. Of course the Cabal countered with a lying Fake Science trial showing HCQ kills people. With Ivermectin, they just killed the study.
Starting the comments HEREon September 22, 2026 11:26Bold is mine.
IMO, after numerous “behavioral training” hoaxes for allegedly possessing or releasing information, Trump is NEVER going to push to actually release information on deep military stuff like “why they’re developing bad but very quickly produced vaccines” that cost only 0.0001 out of 15, which apparently is a real DEAL as far as the military is concerned. Even among their own forces.
IMO Bobby Kennedy has been “read in”, too. But (IMO) they did NOT read in Prasad or Makary – too low-level and could not be trusted to keep the secrets. Those guys pushed where Kennedy could not protect them.
I strongly suspect now that JFK was killed because he was going to take stuff public in some way that was a predictable disaster.
If I go back and study the stuff that was kept secret during WWII, and assume that similar situations are ongoing today, then things starts making sense.
We are NEVER going to ban these vaccines. IMO they would rather disclose the truth and endure the resulting societal problems, than lose the military edge that genetic vaccines provide in hypothetical conflicts.
But whatever. We need to keep doing our thing to minimize the blowback, IMO. But not having the “gun/shield” is not an option.
You yourself have published the truth about the HHS/DoD connection. We all know that DoD and HHS have been joined at the hip on bioweapons for decades. I doubt that there was even military unanimity on the idea of Fauci and HHS moving experiments to Wuhan being a good idea or a bad idea. I suspect there are varying levels of realism on mRNA vaccines.
And yes, in these hypotheses, I assume Fauci was the guy who was “read in” on whatever is really going on.
Not everybody who supports mRNA vaccines has the same motivation for supporting them. Many people believe all the narrative BS that the media spits out. But then add people who discern varying levels of badness of the vaccines, and who then have varying levels of tolerance on that.
I don’t think anybody except embedded depoppers, ChiComs, and a few others are “fine” with the casualties of the clot shot. But I do think there are people in the system who know how bad it is, but who also know why that badness is being tolerated.
I’m not trying to discourage people. I’m trusting Trump, AND Bobby Kennedy, and simultaneously trying to explain why they’re allowing a marginal but potentially critical vaccine technology to be developed.
And if I’m right about this, it’s a lot more important than an election. I don’t LIKE that, but it’s true. A “humanity-clearing virus” with 80+% mortality being stopped in its tracks by a vaccine with a COVID-level death rate (or a COVID vaccine-level death rate – pretty similar) – that’s a win, if we’re ever in that position.
That’s cold, hard science. It’s not pretty, but it has to be considered.
Frontiers are not safe. At the same time we were developing the American frontier, we had “early” anesthesia. Ether, chloroform, and others. It was DANGEROUS as hell. We also had rapid amputations with saws. Same. But it was better than the alternative.
Right now – with all the flaws of the mRNA vaccines, if there is suddenly an “airborne Ebola”, then our having the ability to create a working and deliverable vaccine in under 24 hours is a huge, huge, huge military advantage in SAVING AMERICA. Maybe saving humanity.
Obviously, WE should not be making that virus. But WE don’t control other people on the planet (honestly, we can’t even control our own), and if there ARE “people” not on this planet who have more advanced technology, well, we don’t control them, either.
So, IMO, the bad (side effects) but good (fast) mRNA technology needs to move forward. I just think we need to be more honest about why we’re doing it. The REASONS of speed and simplicity have been mentioned. The reasons behind those have not.
I refuse to believe Trump is stupid about this, and that Bobby Kennedy has turned into a polar opposite on vaccines. Something is up. And these hypotheses explain it.
Thanks for thinking about it. It’s not easy, but it bears consideration by more minds to see if it makes sense.
I’ve done a lot of thinking to try to solve the riddle of Trump’s enigmatic vax position, but Bobby Kennedy gave me another equation to work with, and that allowed me to see some potential solutions. Mix in the military’s shadowy support for the entire thing, without knee-jerking that they’re Satan-worshiping DARPA baddies, and suddenly some rational possibilities come into view.
There are times that the entire COVID psy-op struck me as a bit of a live drill, and while I think that idea is far too simplistic, I do think that people advising Trump have surely been doing so from literal Q-clearance knowledge that can’t go public.
For instance (and this is also to share some mRNA knowledge) it is entirely possible that our military KNEW in 2018-2019 that there would eventually be another pathogen lab leak, likely significant, and in top military manner, we had prepared for it. The best tech for rapid response on a proven platform, though not using proven-safe protein targets, had to have been the mRNA technology, IMO, despite all its flaws, problems, and unknown risks. On paper, it’s the best. Yeah, it doesn’t guarantee a shut-off of production. Yeah, it makes errors because of N1-methylpseudouridine. Yeah, it has toxicity problems in the LNPs. Yeah, it goes to bad places it shouldn’t go. Everything we’ve discussed.
BUT we know that the baseline badness of side effects is probably only one or two orders of magnitude worse than our “best” vaccines. For some unknown future disease where the death rate exceeds that from the clot shot itself, AND the saving of lives due to fast action is exponential, mRNA shots will clearly have a desirable total life-saving yield. They won’t do it as safely as a traditional vaccine using a protein immunogen, but they will start saving lives sooner and faster. This can be easily modeled.
This would have been more obvious if Omicron had not saved us from Delta, with the latter being about as pathogenic as Original Wuhan, and it would have been completely clear if there had been no mutation of Wuhan, because in that case we might have seen permanent immunity from the vax.
All that said, we must (IMO) keep pointing out the deficiencies of the mRNA technology. I suspect there are limits to how much improvement is possible, so we cannot delude ourselves if these remain sub-par vaccines compared to protein technologies. We cannot let lies about mRNA technology, nor even its potential heroic use in a truly apocalyptic biological event, blind us to the reality that old-style vaccines are and likely will remain superior.
However, I think that it would be wonderful if somebody “on our side” were able to outline the highly theoretical risk-benefit curves, where mRNA vaccines might save lives sooner and bigger at high pathogenicity, but are demonstrably sub-optimal at low pathogenicity, thereby framing both the negatives and positives of the technology in a way that allows us to make peace with each other. In that case, RFKJ’s wisdom of allowing mRNA to go forward, but under increased scrutiny and deference to sound scientific results, will prove historically correct, IMO.
I’ll just say right off the bat that I don’t expect anybody here to believe any of these hypotheses – and I do call them hypotheses, because I’m not locked in on any of them. And just for further clarification, I’m not certain that anything you’re additionally speculating as being implied, is actually implied, or is intended by me to be implied, but you are welcome to digest what I say in any way that makes sense to you, no problem.
These are very loose hypotheses, designed around the idea that much of what we are seeing is the result of secrecy that is both constraining and manipulating President Trump and Bobby Kennedy.
I remain uncertain whether Trump was actually read in on anything potentially related to these hypotheses during his first term, but the suspicion that he (45) was NOT – and later (47) WAS – looms large to me as a handy explanation of otherwise inexplicable things. Indeed, I further suspect that Obama and Brennan’s plot to raise “Russia, Russia, Russia” suspicions about Trump was designed to make sure Trump could not be informed about certain things.
In the beginning of the “pandemic”, Trump had to act on uncertainty – uncertainty about many things, including the origin of the virus, the motivations of all the players behind it, the science itself, and even the actual lethality of the virus. I don’t know what he was told that was classified at the time, but I suspect he WAS informed of SOME classified things in SOME areas. That is a multi-dimensional continuum – not a binary.
I suspect his context for decisions included some, but not all, classified aspects. All I know is that I trust that Trump did the best he could with what he was given.

To me, this indicates the Malthusians aka British Empire has been in control. And to some extent still is. (See my Depop series especially Kissinger’s National Security Study Memorandum NSSM 200.) Remember Kissinger said point blank during a Chatham House speech, he kept the Brits better informed than our US State Dept. Also Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum was a protegee of Kissinger.
YOURS TRULY WARNED THIS BOARD ABOUT DR. ERICA SCHWARTZ, MD, Rear Adm (ret) WHEN SHE WAS CONFIRMED AS THE NEW CDC DIRECTOR — THE “QUEEN OF VACCINES.” THE “ENFORCER” OF THE PENTAGON’S COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “VACCINE” MANDATE ON THE U.S.MILITARY.

Refusing to testify without a valid legal basis is itself the offense. Under 2 U.S.C. § 192, willfully failing to appear after a valid congressional subpoena, or refusing to answer pertinent questions once there, is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine.
The CRS puts it plainly: a subpoena recipient “has a legal obligation to comply, absent a valid and overriding privilege or other legal justification.” So the legal basis is the only shield. If an official can’t point to one — the Fifth Amendment, executive privilege, a recognized separation-of-powers conflict (e.g., the Secretary of State appearing at a major diplomatic event), attorney-client privilege, etc. — the refusal is contempt.
In practice, Congress has several enforcement levers when an official refuses without a valid basis:
She is also military so indictment would be via a military tribunal avoiding the Woke judges & juries of DC. It also allows RICO as she CONTINUES her pushing of the Clot Shots. (The five year window for the military is fast closing.)

In talking about scientific fraud, I want to start with a comment made by TheseTruthsLINK.
If you didn’t already have enough reasons to distrust Dr. Anthony Fauci, here’s a new one, and it’s a doozy.
Newly disclosed documents reveal that Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) had a formal institutional partnership with the CIA, one that provided cover for the agency’s biological-threat research. This goes well beyond the previously known off-the-books meetings tied to the Wuhan lab origins controversy. Fauci’s ties to American intelligence run far deeper than anyone outside a handful of investigators realized….
Anthony Stephen Fauci (born December 24, 1940) is an American physician-scientist and immunologist who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 to 2022 and as Chief Medical Advisor to the President from 2021 to 2022. He was one of the world’s most frequently cited scientists across all scientific journals from 1983 to 2002.
In 1984 Ronald Reagan was re-elected and his VP was George H. W. Bush of the CIA.
Since the FDA, USDA, EPA and other bureaucracies use ‘The Science ™‘ to validate their regulations I wanted to look at the history of the destruction of science over the last century.
1964 — The Problem-Solving Method They Removed From Every Textbook
In 1964, Richard Feynman was the only person on California’s textbook commission who actually read the textbooks. What he found should have ended careers — publishers sending blank books that still received ratings, first-grade science texts teaching children nothing but empty vocabulary, and an entire system designed to reward memorization over real understanding.This video breaks down Feynman’s forgotten problem-solving framework — the same approach he used to win the Nobel Prize, expose broken education systems from California to Brazil, and coin the term “Cargo Cult Science” in his legendary 1974 Caltech commencement speech.You’ll learn his 12 favorite problems technique (explained by mathematician Gian-Carlo Rota), why estimating before calculating is the single most underrated thinking skill, and how to tell the difference between someone who memorized the answer and someone who actually understands the problem — a distinction that matters more now than ever, because AI can memorize everything, but it can’t think from scratch.
If you’ve ever felt out of step with the system — at school, at work, in a meeting where nobody could answer the question that wasn’t on the slides — this video explains why. And it gives you a method to fix it tonight.🔹 Drop your own “label instead of an explanation” moment in the comments.——————————————————📖

The reason you always felt out of step with the system is because the system was designed to produce the opposite of you.It produces people who follow the process perfectly right up until reality changes and then they freeze. You’ve seen it in hiring. The candidate with the perfect resume who can’t answer a simple what-if question in the interview. You’ve seen it in leadership. The director who can quote the strategy deck word for word but goes blank when a client throws a curveball.
The system trained them to memorize the runway, not to fly the plane.
Feynman left behind the method the system tried to bury.
— 12 problems always alive.
— Strip every claim down to what you can check.
— Estimate before you calculate.
— Test your understanding by rephrasing the question.
— If you can’t answer it in different words, you never understood it in the first place.
That’s it. That’s what they removed. And now you have it back.
But Feynman’s war on the textbooks exposed something bigger than bad education. He found the same pattern in science, in hiring, in way entire industries collapse when nobody inside them can think from scratch. And when he called it out by name, in front of the most powerful people in the room, they didn’t thank him. [Managed decline anyone? -GC]
The Deal That Reshaped the Market: Maxwell Buys Macmillan and Joins McGraw‑Hill
Robert Maxwell purchased Macmillan Inc. in the late 1980s, a transaction that positioned him as owner of one of the United States’ largest textbook publishers at the time; reporting from the period documents the acquisition and the creation of a joint venture combining Macmillan’s school publishing units with McGraw‑Hill’s to form Macmillan/McGraw‑Hill School Publishing Co. in 1989, a company that became the second‑largest U.S. textbook publisher [1][2]. The joint venture pooled Macmillan imprints like Glencoe and units such as Science Research Associates (SRA) into a single school publishing operation, reflecting Maxwell’s strategy of consolidating academic and educational assets under his Maxwell Communication Corporation umbrella, and contemporary sources note that McGraw‑Hill assumed sole ownership of the joint operation by 1993 after Maxwell’s death, indicating the Maxwell family no longer retained operational control

ERIC: … Maxwell figured out how to DESTROY SCIENCE and MAKE A FORTUNE. So he diluted the quality of the editorship of the leading journals. This was a high quality informal enterprise. Now most of the destruction of science in terms of how high quality it used to be, has taken place relatively recently. POST ROBERT MAXWELL. Because we now have an enormous number of journals staffed by people who can’t spot publication cartels, where we agree to cite each others work and we agree to publish stuff, you know Pay for Play.

Pergamon Press was an Oxford-based publishing house, founded by Paul Rosbaud and Robert Maxwell, that published scientific and medical books and journals. Originally called Butterworth-Springer, it is now an imprint of Elsevier.
History
The core company, Butterworth-Springer, started in 1948 to bring the “Springer know-how and techniques of aggressive publishing in science”[1] to Britain. Paul Rosbaud was the man with the knowledge. When Maxwell acquired the company in 1951, Rosbaud held a one-quarter share.[1] They changed the house name to Pergamon Press, using a logo that was a reproduction of a Greek coin from Pergamon. Maxwell and Rosbaud worked together growing the company until May 1956, when, according to Joe Haines, Rosbaud was sacked….
Proving that unpaid anonymous review is worth every cent, the 217 year old Wiley science publisher “peer reviewed” 11,300 papers that were fake, and didn’t even notice. It’s not just a scam, it’s an industry. Naked “gobbledygook sandwiches” got past peer review, and the expert reviewers didn’t so much as blink.
Big Government and Big Money has captured science and strangled it. The more money they pour in, the worse it gets. John Wiley and Sons is a US $2 billion dollar machine, but they got used by criminal gangs to launder fake “science” as something real.
Things are so bad, fake scientists pay professional cheating services who use AI to create papers and torture the words so they look “original”. Thus a paper on ‘breast cancer’ becomes a discovery about “bosom peril” and a ‘naïve Bayes’ classifier became a ‘gullible Bayes’. An ant colony was labeled an ‘underground creepy crawly state’.
And what do we make of the flag to clamor ratio? Well, old fashioned scientists might call it ‘signal to noise’. The nonsense never ends….
But this is not really about the recent virus; it goes back a very long time. Scientific fraud — not accident, not error, intentional misrepresentation — has been all over medicine and specifically pharmaceutical trials for decades.

Here are ‘Peer-Reviewed” studies and comments from medical journal editors. My list is so long I am going to cut it in half and put the rest in my next article. However since this type of information has a tendency to disappear, I want it documented.
US scientists are significantly more likely to publish fake research than scientists from elsewhere, finds a trawl of officially withdrawn (retracted) studies.Fraudsters are also more likely to be “repeat offenders,” the study shows.
Summary
There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false.The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias…..
….A pooled weightedaverage of 1.97%(N = 7, 95%CI: 0.86–4.45) ofscientists admitted to have fabricated, falsified or modified dataor results at least once –a serious form of misconduct by any standard– and up to33.7% admitted other questionable research practices. In surveysasking about the behaviour of colleagues, admission rates were14.12%< (N = 12, 95% CI: 9.91–19.72)for falsification, and up to 72% for other questionable research practices.Meta-regression showed that self reports surveys, surveys using the words “falsification” or “fabrication”, and mailed surveys yielded lower percentages of misconduct. When these factors were controlled for,misconduct was reported more frequently by medical/pharmacological researchers than others.
Considering that these surveys ask sensitive questions and have other limitations, it appears likely that this is a conservative estimate of the true prevalence of scientific misconduct.
As we said in December, an e-patient essential is sorting out what writings to trust, whether we find them online or in print. There’s an important update on this in the New York Timestoday, an interviewwith Marcia Angell MD, an author we’ve quoted before, and her husband Dr. Arnold Relman – both long-time editors of one of the world’s top journals, the New England Journal of Medicine. It contains some eye-poppers.
In 2009, as I was just starting to get educated about healthcare, I posted A Quote I Won’t Soon Forget, which began:
It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.
Dana Blankenhorn of the ZDNet health blog called it “a bombshell.” I couldn’t agree more. And I must say, with all the smart people in this community, why on earth haven’t we heard more about this??
And how on earth are we supposed to be empowered participatory patients if we can’t trust the world’s leading journal?
It echoed Richard Smith, 25 year editor of another top-tier journal (the British Medical Journal), in the first issue of our Journal of Participatory Medicine:
…most of what appears in peer-reviewed journals is scientifically weak.
This is no small issue in the life of an engaged patient. e-Patients who bring googled articles to their office visits are often lambasted or subjected to eye-rolls by clinicians who say that we should only trust academic medical journals. But can we trust them??
We got a rude update on why published science is shaky in our January 2011 post The Decline Effect: most published studies are never replicated by another lab! That’s absurd – heck, in high school I couldn’t get a science experiment passed if it wasn’t reproducible, but our journals do that??….
Every year, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspects several hundred clinical sites performing biomedical research on human participants and occasionally finds evidence of substantial departures from good clinical practice and research misconduct. However, the FDA has no systematic method of communicating these findings to the scientific community, leaving open the possibility that research misconduct detected by a government agency goes unremarked in the peer-reviewed literature….
Objectives
To identify published clinical trials in which an FDA inspection found significant evidence of objectionable conditions or practices, to describe violations, and to determine whether the violations are mentioned in the peer-reviewed literature.
Design and Setting
Cross-sectional analysis of publicly available documents, dated from January 1, 1998, to September 30, 2013, describing FDA inspections of clinical trial sites in which significant evidence of objectionable conditions or practices was found.
Results:Fifty-seven published clinical trials were identified for which an FDA inspection of a trial site had found significant evidence of 1 or more of the following problems:
falsification or submission of false information, 22 trials (39%);
problems with adverse events reporting, 14 trials (25%);
protocol violations, 42 trials (74%);
inadequate or inaccurate recordkeeping, 35 trials (61%);
failure to protect the safety of patients and/or issues with oversight or informed consent, 30 trials (53%);
and violations not otherwise categorized, 20 trials (35%).
Only 3 of the 78 publications (4%) that resulted from trials in which the FDA found significant violations mentioned the objectionable conditions or practices found during the inspection. No corrections, retractions, expressions of concern, or other comments acknowledging the key issues identified by the inspection were subsequently published.
Conclusions and Relevance
When the FDA finds significant departures from good clinical practice, those findings are seldom reflected in the peer-reviewed literature, even when there is evidence of data fabrication or other forms of research misconduct.
A decade ago, I wrote in another blog “Blogs are now performing the important tasks of scrutinizing papers and conclusions often finding gross mistakes.” That is probably one of the reasons we were shut up during Covid.
Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. As one participant put it, “poor methods get results”. The Academy of Medical Sciences, Medical Research Council, and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council have now put their reputational weight behind an investigation into these questionable research practices. The apparent endemicity [i.e. pervasiveness within the scientific culture] of bad research behaviour is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data. Journal editors deserve their fair share of criticism too. We aid and abet the worst behaviours. Our acquiescence to the impact factor fuels an unhealthy competition to win a place in a select few journals. Our love of “significance” pollutes the literature with many a statistical fairy-tale….
Similarly, the editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Marcia Angell, wrote in 2009:
(Original Article I quote below has vanished… imagine that!)
….It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine….
In fact, in October 2017, Angell went further – she published an article in the New York Review of books entitled,‘Drug Companies and Doctors: A Story of Corruption.’
This article in The New York Review of Books, by Marcia Angell, details the growing concern over the colonization of the medical profession by pharmaceutical companies

I am going to stop here and continue next week so you focus on reading the last 3 articles. They are DAMNING especially since Angell, spent two decades as the editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Dr. Elizabeth Bright—a renowned physician specializing in thyroid and adrenal health—reveals the pivotal role these small but mighty glands play in every stage of life, from before birth to your later years.
If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still feel off, this book will open your eyes to the real science of your metabolism, energy, immune health, and stress resilience. [Amazon blurb]
FWIW from Brave AI
Osteopathic medicine is a distinct branch of medical practice in the United States that emphasizes a whole-person approach to healthcare, focusing on the interrelated unity of all body systems and the patient’s ability to self-heal.Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs)are fully licensed physicians who, like MDs, can prescribe medication, perform surgery, and specialize in any field of medicine.
A few tidbits of information relevant to the video I am featuring.
…it is known that bromated flour, which contains bromine, has been used in the USA since 1914. In 1982, researchers in Japan published the first of a series of studies showing that potassium bromate, a food additive used in baking bread, causes cancer in the thyroids, kidneys, and other body parts of rats and mice. As a result of these findings, countries around the world banned the additive, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration held back, in part because the amount of potassium bromate that remains in bread after baking should be negligible.
Hubby, reminds me that King Arthur flour is unbleached & unbromated. I wonder if bromine is NOT listed because it is not in the ‘bread’ just in the flour used to make it AND the FDA held back, in part because the amount of potassium bromate that remains in bread after baking should be negligible.
“…the vast majority of cholesterol in your body was made in your liver. Cholesterol production increases when the body is under stress: emotional stress can cause elevated cholesterol because the stress hormone cortisol is made out of cholesterol. Physical stress on the body can also elevate cholesterol.
Because cholesterol helps to repair and heal your body, you will produce more if there is a great deal of inflammation occurring in your body.So all those factors above that raise inflammation, can raise your cholesterol too…”

The SHOCKING TRUTH About Iodine! (Nobody Shares This) | Dr. Elizabeth Bright
Full Interview (1 hour 18 minutes):
Your Body Is BEGGING for Iodine (How Much You Actually Need) | Dr. Elizabeth Bright
ROUGH TRANSCRIPT of VIDEO.
I know this is very long so I am cutting out parts that do not directly impact the subject of iodine. The parts I think are really important or are novel such as A1 & A2 milk cows and dairy causing inflammation, I will use pulled quotes to highlight to make it easier to skim and get the meat of the article.
The person doing the interviewing is Jesse Chappus, a retired chiropractor. He is questioning Dr Bright. I am not going to go back thru and try to add the attributions. Hopefully the question marks will make it fairly clear.
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
“Every single cell in the body needs iodine. Every tissue needs iodine. Iodine is an antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral. It’s a heavy metal chelator. It’s my shield. We use more nutrients when we’re in a state of stress. If your body’s fighting an infection that is a stress state, you need more iodine. It boosts your immune system. Your immune system needs iodine, the substances that interfere with the absorption of iodine. Fluoride, chloride, bromide. So that is really why people need to supplement, because they have been exposed to substances that prevent the absorption of iodine even if they can get in their food source, which they can’t really.
There are places in the world that have too much fluoride in the ground. Certain places in England. Where tea is grown [in] India, China. I don’t think there’s any way you can get away with drinking black tea, white tea, green tea… I lived in China, so I had access to the best teas in the world. I would consider all of them to be poison today.
…………….
WAIT WHAT? My morning tea is full of fluoride? -GC
The fluoride content in tea varies depending on the type of tea and the quality of the leaves used in its production. 135
Black tea has the highest fluoride content among the types of tea. The average fluoride levels in black tea are 1.8 ppm, with the highest recorded levels reaching 4.2 ppm. 1
Green tea also contains fluoride, with average levels of 1.3 ppm, but the highest levels recorded were 3.2 ppm, and the lowest were 0.7 ppm. 1
Oolong tea has fluoride levels that are generally comparable to those recommended for the prevention of dental caries. 2
White tea is likely to have less fluoride than other types of tea, as it is made from the buds and youngest leaves of the tea plant. 23
The fluoride content in tea is not uniform. The plant stores the majority of environmental toxins and minerals in its older, mature leaves, which are used in cheap teas. These leaves are cheap, provide bulk, and produce a dark, strong liquor. However, they also act as a reservoir for fluoride. 3
The origin of tea and environmental factors, such as pollution, groundwater, air, and the soil in which it was grown, affect the amount of fluoride that accumulates in the plants. 5
Excessive fluoride consumption is linked to skeletal fluorosis, a condition that stiffens joints and compromises bone health. 34
“The problem is that nobody’s doing the “Hakala Lab” tests. They’re all going to their local lab and they’re testing radioactive iodine. They’re all looking for Chernobyl. None of these iodine blood tests that you get are testing organic iodine. They’re testing for radioactive iodine.”

[Discussion about carnivore diet removed]
Not eating enough fat… Actually, women need more fat than males do to make more steroid hormones. …. I’m talking about adding additional fat to that meat because the fat is an anti inflammatory. So people who come to me have inflammation… So if somebody’s cooking up a steak, they’re putting say butter or tallow on top of that at the end. Say it’s ground beef and they’re making burger patties, same kind of thing, adding butter and tallow. …burgers are pre-digested in the sense that the blades that grind the meat have altered the protein somewhat. It’s not horrible. It’s just that the steak is going to have more nutrients. Because when you cook a steak, if you’re doing it medium, I’ve weighed it, when you do it medium rare, there’s 25% of the weight gone. Some of that is fat that stays in the pan or comes down into the grill tray and some of that is water soluble nutrients. So ground beef, you’re going to have fewer. It’s pre-digested in the sense that it has already gone through this process of being ground up.
….you brought seed oils in and you also talked about some of the quote unquote healthy plant fats such as coconut oil… I forget what specifically ones you covered there. But typically in that category would be like avocado oil, olive oil. I want to make sure we have a distinction there between the seed oils and those oils, because the seed oils are in a category of themselves that no matter what diet you’re on are considered toxic.
So seed oil soils are canola, peanut, it’s not even a seed. Those are the oils that we know are trans fats. These fat’s are very, very, very inflammatory.
The olive oil wouldn’t be inflammatory, but it’s not going to give you cholesterol. Avocado and coconut oil are not going to give you cholesterol. And the cholesterol, the molecule only comes from animals. But arguably, if you’re using your volume of food intake and calories with those other fats, you’re taking up valuable space that you could use for healthy animal fats that come along with cholesterol…
…There are some people who are so inflamed — or have an immune system which has turned autoimmune. The tiny amount of milk protein in the butter could be temporarily a source of inflammation for them. They will eventually put the butter back in when they are better because it’s really the dose of the poison. It’s the milk protein that is the issue for the immune system. Just like gluten, …your immune system is looking for proteins. It’s looking for viruses, it’s looking for bacteria. They’re all made out of protein. So if your immune system has become autoimmune because it’s so inflamed, it will mistaken that the small amount of milk protein in the butter [as an enemy] and cause you to be inflamed…
… I know in general you’re not a big fan of supplements, but would that be something you’d ever consider?
….You have to be careful with all supplements because they’re basically very potent, small amounts of things that we’re just supposed to get from our regular diet. As you said, there’s one liver and the rest of it is muscle meat in an animal that you kill.
…But one supplement you’re a huge fan of [is] iodine … I want to come back into that.
Iodine. There’s a lot of detail we can cover within this subject. For people at this point who aren’t supplementing with iodine, talk about the current landscape and what they’re not getting from the diet… and why iodine is so beneficial….The issue today that is more – concerning are the substances that interfere with the absorption of iodine. Fluoride, chloride, bromide. So that is really… why people need to supplement, because they have been – exposed to substances that prevent the absorption of iodine, even if they can get it in their food source, which they can’t really.
You mentioned the other halides and how they can get in the way of absorption of iodine. Where are those typically found?
Your toothpaste, water, if they’ve put fluoride in your water. Chlorine in the pool, bromide in my chair. Probably this fire retardant substances, fabrics, things like that. Car seats. People aren’t licking their car seats. I think it’s more the fluoride that’s in the water and “PFAS” [Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances -GC] which are in our water that we can’t escape. There’s “PFAS” in the Maldives, so where are we going to go? We can’t go anywhere… We shouldn’t be running for the hills. We should be taking iodine to prevent insufficiency.
And as you explain that, I can see this is a double negative where, the other halides are so apparent in today’s modern world, affecting our iodine absorption… And then the one halide that we want to get isn’t readily found in the food anymore. So it’s hitting it from both ends.
That’s correct… Iodine is an essential nutrient. Chloride, bromide and fluoride are absolutely not. Fluoride being the one that is highly touted as something that prevents your teeth from deteriorating. But this is not true. It was never proven. There’s actually evidence to the contrary,that it causes fluorosis and makes your teeth rot. Which is what the fluoride content. And actually natural water sources. Fluoride is a mineral that is in the ground. So there are places in the world that have too much fluoride in the ground. Certain places in England, [places] where tea is grown, India, China, those places, the well water is very, very rich in fluoride. And those are the people, those areas, [have] a lot of congenital hypothyroidism, —– dwarfish, low stature, I think is what you’re supposed to say today. And learning disabilities, and of course, goiter.
Let’s talk more about that tea please.
So the tea leaves are being grown in soil that contains fluoride. So the end product that is dried out and shipped and packaged. You’re getting that, when you steep your tea, you’re getting that put back into the water? Yes, yes. And the cheaper teas have more fluoride than the more expensive teas. They have an actual rating system of how much fluoride is in the tea. Brick tea, loose tea has a lot more fluoride than your more expensive brands. It’s kind of like selenium, Brazil nuts… People think that they’re going to get selenium from Brazil nuts. There are areas that have more selenium in the soil. And those trees, the nuts of those trees will have more selenium in them than the other ones. But tea, it has a certain acidity that people like with tea means there’s more fluoride in it. So they [are] actually augmenting the fluoride by breeding and things like that to have the tea have more fluoride in it, so it has more acidity in the flavor. [And if you think the Chinese are not doing that breeding on purpose I have a bridge for sale. –GC]
All right, so cheaper teas, more of an issue here… How big of a problem is this in general? And is there specific types of tea people can still drink and not worry about this?
No, it’s [tea is] poison. So it’s a huge problem. I actually gave this paper to somebody in the UK. An Irish researcher published a warning to his country because they have mandated fluoride in the water. And the Irish drink a ton of tea. So there’s a huge rate of learning disabilities, fluorosis, fractured bone, osteoporosis, et cetera, et cetera, — everything that fluorosis causes, in Ireland. So I don’t think there’s any way you can get away with drinking black tea, white tea, green tea… I lived in China, so I had this access to the best teas in the world. None of them. I would consider all of them to be poison today.
…For somebody that’s been drinking a lot of tea in the past, is there a way to test to see how much of it’s accumulated in the body?.. And also, can you test teas for somebody that’s in love with their tea right now, doesn’t want to give it up and wants to just see if their particular blend, this is an issue for, even though it’s such a big issue in general. Can we test the tea? Can we test the body?
Fluoride in tea is one of the most forgotten and largest sources of fluoride. Some teas can even have 6 times the amount of fluoride when compared to tap water. So to find out which teas are safest, I tested 357+ teas for fluoride. And below you can search the results, learn how to avoid it and everything else about fluoride in tea.
If you love tea and have the cash to spare, go to the website and leave him a tip. – GC

Back to the Transcript
You can test the body. You can test the fluoride, bromide and chloride content in your urine and test the iodine. How much iodine is not able to come in because of these halides blocking the absorption of iodine. “Hakala Labs” in the US does that 24 hour urine uptake. You collect your urine for 24 hours, after ingesting 50 milligrams of iodine. You collect the urine, they test it and they give you… the results of how much bromide, the toxicity of halides, [are] in your urine, in your system. The teas, this Irish paper, actually I have found, — all the brands, he went through all the Irish brands that are popular.
… I have a couple of papers from China that did test the fluoride, not in particular teas. Yes, in teas. I actually have, because there’s Anhui province and there’s different provinces that- they did test…
….
[So China is well aware of the fluoride problem in the teas and yet they are breeding teas that will increase the uptake of fluoride from the water. –GC]
….
Any other plants that are prone to this, taking the fluoride and… concentrating it in the product?
“Tea is the worst one. Yes.
So coffee, not an issue?
Coffee, not an issue.
No other plants people are eating? Well, there are plants that prevent the absorption of iodine… Brassica, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, all those plants, that whole family of plants, they figured that out because the farmer went to check his rabbits and they were all eating cabbage leaves and they all had little goiters… The scientists went there and isolated basically what is in today’s antithyroid medication — from these plants. So it prevents, it is a antithyroid medication. Antithyroid substance because it prevents the absorption of iodine. So in my book, “Good Fat Is Good For Girls, Puberty and Adolescents”, I actually do list more – foods that we eat. Oatmeal is another one that prevent the absorption of iodine.
Any others you can think of off the top of your head?
Flaxseeds.
… Let’s talk about why iodine is so important.
Every single cell in the body needs iodine. Every tissue needs iodine. So your adrenals need iodine, your salivary gland, — the male’s prostate. Not just the thyroid. Female uterus, ovaries, breast tissue. – Every mucus bearing tissue has a ton of iodine in it. So your intestinal [tract]. — The microbiome stuff that people are always talking about. Not going to happen if you don’t have adequate iodine — in your intestinal mucus. Iodine is an antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral. It’s a heavy metal chelator. That’s why I said it’s my shield. The thyroid takes a minimum of 6mg. The breasts in females take 5mg. Can’t remember how much the prostate takes. I would consider any cyst in these tissues, any growth, any inflammation due to iodine deficiency.
And from last time we talked, the ideal dose of “Lugol’s,” as you recommend the “Lugol’s.” For maintenance, was two drops of 5% per day.Is that still correct?
Maintenance after you have. Yes, if you have had. I have women who come to me with swollen lymph glands. – Fibroids in their uterus. I will have them douche with iodine… So you’re actually getting it closer to the tissue that needs the iodine. If you’re taking it orally, that’s why “Lugol’s” is better, because it’s much more easily absorbed. You’re taking it… Everybody’s going to fight about the iodine if you are severely deficient. So sometimes it’s better to just get it. People paint their breasts with iodine.
And when it comes to time of day to take it, does it matter?
Is it better earlier on in the day? With food? just details on to best absorb it.
. I would say earlier in the day we are supposed to peak between 6 and 9. All our hormones kind of peak at that time. So you’re waking up bright eyed and bushy tailed to greet the day. I would take what you need in the morning. There are people who have inflamed thyroids that might react to the two drops that I’m saying you should take. So then you need to see if you’ve got nodules or thyroid antibodies.
Explain that in greater detail. What you’re saying there is if somebody already has a problem in the thyroid, if they activate that by taking “Lugol’s,” they might run into problems because of that. Otherwise iodine isn’t something we need to worry about. The kidneys will remove excess, correct?
Correct. Now imagine the tissue that has been devoid for a long time. So that could be the uterus, that could be the ovaries, that could be, the breast tissue. But usually the thyroid, because the thyroid is all follicular. Every part of the thyroid is working. The follicles are always there to make hormones. So breast tissue is not that way, uterus is not that way, prostate is not that way. So if it hasn’t had the iodine, if it’s kind of hunkered down and it hasn’t been producing adequate thyroid hormone because it doesn’t have enough iodine and it has maybe grown an extra piece, expanding itself trying to get more iodine. That extra piece or that inflamed thyroid will sit up and take notice and scream at you.
And how will somebody know if that’s the case?
Palpitations. They might have hyperthyroid symptoms, but they desperately need the iodine anyway. So then we do a detox.
Okay, so let’s say somebody finds out they have one of these nodules, they need to stop taking the dose you’re recommending here. How do they, or can they go about healing that?
They can definitely go about healing that [nodules]. I always recommend they do the salt loading protocol by taking… a small amount, one drop of iodine in a glass of half teaspoon of salt, and a little glass of water, followed by a whole bigger glass of water until they have to urinate. Because this is the way that the iodine will attack and the salt will pull the other halides out of the system. And so that’s a detox.
Dr Bright
Iodine becomes vapor if it’s attached to salt. Okay, so is that more a protocol for somebody that’s new to iodine?
I was getting at the person that has some kind of growth on the thyroid, and then they’re having a problem taking the iodine.
What you just explained there seems like a flush for anybody that wants to… basically get everything to ground zero. “Mmmhmm.” The part you just explained there, is that for everybody or just somebody with a nodule?
No, I think it’s for everybody, but definitely somebody with a nodule because they are — not able to have, their system is already so — deficient in iodine — that part of — their tissue might react. So it’ll start working. — And just it starting working can possibly make every single organ in the body. The heart is very much. So epinephrine is always telling the heart, the rhythm to beat. Right. And that comes from thyroid hormone. So if all of a sudden there’s more thyroid hormone than your body has ever dealt with, hasn’t dealt with in decades, everybody kind of has to get in line and figure out how to use that hormone again. It’s like resistance.
Okay. So, yes, it is a flush. And what I’m talking about isaddressing also resistance to the hormone that is made. But for somebody with a nodule on the thyroid doing the flush, will that physical nodule dissipate over time?
Over time, but not just with the flush, but definitely over time, you have to remove inflammation. You have to make the autoimmune…
This is an autoimmune state, right?
So the immune system is actually attacking it. There’s a combination of… the thyroid is expanded in order to get more iodine, the thyroid also, has got scabs on its knees. — It’s being attacked by antibodies. You don’t have to have positive antibodies to have an inflamed thyroid. So the inflammation, they could just look at an ultrasound and tell you that you’ve got speckled thyroid tissue. The fact that there it’s hyper-vascularized. That is the definition of inflammation. Your antibodies might be negative, but your thyroid tissue is inflamed so… an anti-inflammatory diet, removing carbohydrates, et cetera will definitely help that too. It’s crucial.
From people you’ve worked with, do you find somebody with a nodule, most cases can remedy that without surgery then?
Yes, absolutely. What is difficult to remedy without surgery, just like somebody who maybe has a foot long fibroid. Right. So there is a point where you can teach the body tissue, anomalous tissue to regress. There is also a point of no return. A very large goiter may need surgery. It’s kind of hard to make that tissue that has become also calcified to some extent to regress. But definitely… all of my patients, goiter is more difficult. A very large softball size goiter is going to be very difficult. But inflamed thyroids, smaller goiters, they’ve all regressed. And nodules, they regress.
Essentially, is a goiter, just a nodule that’s grown out of hand?
Both. It’s also the — thyroid itself enlarges. All the follicular tissue will enlarge. So inflammation. Now “Hashimoto’s” is the lymph tissue in the thyroid is swollen. Okay. So we know if there’s a small nodule, good possibility following… doing flushing and the lifestyle we’re talking about today, they couldreverse it.
If somebody has a full on goiter, can they reverse that naturally or no?
It depends on the size. It really depends on the size. — A very large goiter that has become calcified.
How can you?
You can’t. — — That’s why they do the ecogenic testing. They send sound waves to the thyroid to see how fast the sound wave comes back. If it comes back very fast it’s hard, it’s calcified. If it comes back slowly, it went “voof” into the thyroid which is just a big bloody mass of follicular tissue. So you want it to be a big bloody sponge.
If it’s got hard pieces on it that are calcified, how can you. — You can regress a cystic vascular mass. You can’t regress a hardened piece of tissue. Makes sense. So for somebody in that case where it’s just earlier stages, there’s nodules forming, but they’re small, they’re still in hope that they can reverse. You mentioned that protocol with the salt. Are they doing that daily along with the lifestyle or how often would they do that?
No, they’re just doing that for a week and sometimes they get diarrhea because stuff comes out. I have… many teenagers now who have thyroid nodules. Nobody’s checking kids because they’re just looking at “TSH.” So you can have rheumatism, you can have other autoimmune conditions, and they’re not going to look for it because — they don’t associate… those conditions with thyroid issues like I do. So if you are 70 years old, — it may take more time to – change this tissue that you’ve had… Because most people, most women become hypothyroid because of adolescence, which is what my second book is about.
odine is so necessary to have a healthy puberty, both male and female, but really, really important in female. But by the same token, I have more and more males today as patients. As I said, I have adolescents, pubertal young people who have thyroid issues. If you look at how the body has tried to heal since you were 12 and you’re 70. We’ll do the best we can. But if you have a softball sized goiter, I don’t think that we can make it shrink.
Dr Bright
For somebody right now who is a young adult feeling healthy, but they haven’t been supplementing with iodine to this point. It sounded like, but I want you to confirm doing that flush would be a good idea for them as well? And if so, how many times, if they’re not suffering right now?
I have a lot of people’s kids. — – The flush is… you could do…
My son is going to go to a pool because he hurt his back and mom is an osteopath, but she’s not in Athens. So he’s been given some exercises by an osteopath locally and he’s going to go to a pool. And I said, honey, triple your iodine intake because he’s going to go in the chlorine pool.
So I would say that… it sort of depends on the situation. It depends on your environment. – But what I’m talking about with females is that we are parents are now conscious of precocious puberty. We know that precocious puberty is bad for adulthood. There are mental health implications involved. Iodine supplementation as a child is important to prevent that.
So you gave that example there of your son going into a pool, upping his shield of iodine before going in. I would assume that would translate to any situation where somebody is going to come in contact with a lot of halides, if knowingly they’re going to be doing that, they want to up their iodine beforehand?
Yeah. And I do it when I travel. Any infection… — I have a cold. – Double your iodine. Because iodine, all nutrients… disappear. We use more nutrients when we’re in a state of stress. If your body’s fighting an infection that is a stress state, you need more iodine. And then it’s also an antibacterial, antiviral. So that’s great. It helps. It boost your immune system. Your immune system needs iodine. So, – we regularly travel and when we travel, we take more iodine. And then if somebody has a cold.
I talked to my daughter today, my grandson has a cold and.. she’s nursing him. Honey, it’s not enough for him to get the iodine from your breast milk. Get him to have a couple of drops of iodine. He’s two years old. Okay.
How young can somebody start to take… iodine orally?
Well, I’ll just say my grandson is going to be two in January. He needs iodine. So I want her to somehow get [it into him.]. We were trying to figure [it] out. Brainstorm how to get it in him because he doesn’t drink juice. He’s getting it from her breast milk, but not adequately. — She’s very busy. There’s — stress and – she’s, I don’t know, she can put it on a piece of meat.
Right. But what I’m getting at is you mentioned two and you wanted him to get some. But for a baby, like newborns, should they be supplementing or do they get enough through the breastmilk?
No, no, no, no. – My daughter has been taking a lot of iodine and he’s had enough, Babies who are nursing. but he’s now older and he’s eating more regular foods… So nursing is enough.
So through childhood, say somebody ends breastfeeding at 3, they’re eating solids. The parents are aware of what we’re talking about today and want to make sure they’re getting enough iodine into the kid. We talked about that two drop dose, but that’s for adults… Is that a good dose for kids as well?
I would say one drop. But again, like I said before, highlighting the fact that the kidneys can remove excess.
There is so much fear around iodine.
That’s why I want to get into the nuance here. It is a water soluble nutrient. So it’s not like vitamin D, it’s not like vitamin A. It’s not like, except for selenium. You can be toxic in selenium. That’s why I don’t recommend supplementing. But iodine is a water soluble nutrient. And all my books from the 40s and 50s measured the kidneys. They measured, they checked, they tested people’s urine. So they did all this research for us that tells us that iodine excess comes out in the urine. And the problem is that nobody’s doing the “Hakala Lab” tests.
They’re all doing the local lab and they’re testing radioactive iodine. They’re all looking for Chernobyl. None of these iodine blood tests that you get are testing organic iodine. They’re testing for radioactive iodine.
For somebody like you that’s been on iodine for a long period of time, you’re fully topped up… Do you ever do that salt protocol that you talked about?
I haven’t in years, no. No. I stopped drinking tea. I did it when I. — Years ago, I was drinking a lot of tea. I was going back and forth to China. No, I don’t need to do that.
Okay, so you already talked about a week. If somebody has nodules, they would want to incorporate that. And then for somebody who is a healthy adult about to begin an iodine protocol like you’re talking about here. Would they just want to do that salt protocol one or two times to flush everything out?
I put it on the protocol because most of my patients are drinking, a lot of them are drinking tea. In the US it’s iced tea. They think that it’s healthier than coffee. They write decaf tea. So that’s why I put it on their protocol because we got to get rid of the halides from the tea… I had a patient from Kazakhstan. — The iodine content in the soil of where this person was from. People from Michigan. I’m gonna. Okay, yeah, — maybe you need more. Maybe that’s why. My family’s from Tennessee. The mountains are devoid of iodine. It’s sort of a regular thing that I have people do now. It’s not some people, as I said, they get diarrhea. – – Some people don’t want to do it for a week. One person asked to do it for less because theywere afraid of the salt. You have this whole hypertension fear that also comes with salt. –
A whole other — context. We talked about best time to take it, it sounded like that would be sometime in the morning. What about spreading the dosage out throughout the day?.. 2 drops, say taking one in the morning, one around dinner time. Any advantage there?
I don’t see it.
Any advantage including that in the food of a pet?
Definitely… You know that “J Crow’s” is geared towards animals anyway. They don’t want you to think that they’re selling it to human beings for horses. Right. — We know that there are tons.
Hypothyroidism is huge in pets today, dogs and cats, because of what we’re feeding them. I used to give my dog iodine. For somebody who has… autoimmune thyroid issues, “Hashimoto’s” specifically, there is a lot of fear. There’s already fear about taking iodine in general… And then there’s another additional layer for people in that category.
When you’re working with someone with “Hashimoto’s” is the protocol any different with iodine?
No. And I explain all of this. I go into – – I’ve researched all of this and I explain in my article on my articles page about why there’s this fear today. “Theodor Kocher” won the Nobel Prize in, I don’t know, 1911, and he had a reaction to sodium iodide. He might have also been taking who knows what other kinds of stuff. So he kind of started the anti-iodine thing. He’s the one who associated iodine taking iodine with hyperthyroidism. At the same time, every single physician was giving iodine to their patients. And then they all of a sudden stopped. Because he was a big guy, he just won a Nobel Prize. Everybody thought, oh, and people complained, other, other doctors complained that now iodine has been given a bad rap. And then they started using it again… to calm down patients when they were calmed down. Actually, it’s associated with hyperthyroidism. When they were cutting out people’s goiter, they would give them a ton of iodine to… make the heart not beat too hard. So it came back into favor clinically. But unfortunately, these were surgeons who love cutting stuff out and they were still geared towards cutting out goiters rather than healing them. So we have documentation of somebody like “Krile” saying — people who have… inflamed thyroids, give them iodine and natural desiccated thyroid. And it will shrink. So I have to go into all this. There’s so much… documentation that I have to explain when we talk about this and I do that in my articles.
Dr Bright
Does somebody need to ease into it though more if they have “Hashimoto’s” taking the iodine?
No, no. Your thyroid is inflamed. Remove the carbohydrates, remove the tea. Remove all these things that you’re doing… Maybe you’re running, maybe you’re doing “CrossFit,” maybe you’re all those things that are raising cortisol levels will also cause your immune system not to function properly. It’s not the iodine. Everybody has to take iodine.
Dr Bright
Okay. I just thought there might be some nuance there with dosages and easing in and somebody who is, their thyroid’s under attack and at least has a certain amount of damage at that point.
Some people have symptoms and some people don’t… Some people have positive antibodies and they don’t have. They don’t react to the iodine. I’ve had patients react to the iodine with palpitations who had no antibodies. It really goes with, you have to address each case individually. There’s not a hard and fast rule for people because some people don’t react and some people overreact. And then we do the flush and then we go very slowly because of resistance.
Are there any other supportive nutrients somebody wants to make sure they’re getting with the iodine that complement that as they’re turning their thyroid back on?
No, they’re all in food. So you have this famous co factors of selenium and zinc and “yada,” “yada,” “yada.” I’m sorry, I don’t think any of that’s necessary if you’re eating steak because all of those are more bioavailable in the ruminant meat that you’re eating.
Okay. Important caveat there though, for somebody who is eating the way you’re talking about, which for a lot of people is extreme and won’t be going to that level. “Mmmhmm.” “Mmmhmm.” Which is fine.
ZINC & SELENIUM
Everybody has their own journey. Sure, sure. And yeah, it’s for them to decide. But I just think it’s important we highlight that’s if you’re consuming a carnivore diet, which is heavy in ruminant animals. Well, the thing is that supplements can be toxic. So selenium is very easily toxic. I talk about in my book “Good Fat Is Good For Girls.” — You need a lot less selenium. Selenium it is 200 micrograms is usually what people are taking or told to take, and — that’s too much because selenium is easily toxic and too much selenium actually prevents the thyroid from making hormone. So I just don’t like supplements because you’re getting this huge, — it’s like taking a club to your nutrition rather than allowing your body to decide, I’ll go to the market and say, I’ll have a little bit of this, I’ll have a little bit of that. I’ll need a little bit of this. And it’s in the form that the body recognizes rather than hitting it over the top of the head with – 100 milligrams of zinc. This ties back to what we talked about before with the organs, where if you’re consuming those in supplement form, you might be pushing a lot more in the body than needed.
VITAMIN D
Yes. I wanted to talk about vitamin D. We got into this last time and listening back afterwards, I realized I needed clarification, so I’m sure other people do as well. You’re not a fan of supplementing with it. You don’t feel the sun has anything to do with our level of vitamin D in the body.
Right. Well, let’s start there because it’s an underlying assumption by basically everybody that vitamin D, our main source is sunlight. Talk about where we got that wrong. We got that wrong when they took away our fat. So nobody was making you stand outside getting a half an hour of sun on your skin pre1980s… you can go to “Ngram Viewer” and look up this stuff, see when it started to be written about, when it started. I do that all the time with things. – Inuits don’t have vitamin D deficiencies. They don’t have — illnesses that are associated with low vitamin D because if they don’t go and eat “Pringles” from the store that people brought — they are living on seal and it’s very fatty animal. That vitamin D is a fat soluble nutrient that comes from the food they’re eating. It’s all very new. And the 70 the magic number 70 that I’ve learned in school is not. I don’t think you need that much. Most of you have to remember, most people are coming to me knowing that I’m a thyroid specialist. They probably have thyroid issues. Most of them do. And if you are hypothyroid, you can’t synthesize nutrients anyway… So you need adequate thyroid function to be able to turn that animal fat into vitamin D.
Okay. A lot more I want to get into within this to make sure I fully understand. So are we saying that vitamin D, which I would totally agree with, you can get it through at least certain foods, but are you saying that the sun can’t provide vitamin D or it’s just not what we should rely on?
Okay, so the sun hits the lipids on our skin and that is supposed to turn it into vitamin D3. The synthesis that happens through… lipids. Okay, so, – — it actually doesn’t work that way… It may work that way. It’s sort of a backup plan because nobody’s eating fat. If you’re not eating fat, maybe. I’m in the sun all the time. – If I weren’t in the sun all the time in Scotland, for instance, I’m not going to be eating vitamin D. Most people say, oh, I’m taking vitamin D seasonally because of the sun. I haven’t looked it up recently, but I’m sure if I did a deep dive into it, I could tell you the year just like I did with folate. We don’t need folate either. The year that they started… pushing this through. I’m sure this came after the cholesterol hypothesis, because the only way you can get vitamin D, vitamin A, any fat soluble nutrient, is if you eat that damn cholesterol.
Okay, the way I understood it before talking to you, we can get vitamin D, obviously from a supplement. We can get it through certain foods and then we can get it through the sun. And the way I’ve looked at it is when I’m not getting sunlight here in Ontario in the wintertime, I need to be upping… through supplementation or foods, vitamin D so my body has that. And I’m still a little bit gray here. It sounds like you’re not saying you can’t get vitamin D from the sun. It’s just not our primary source. Do I have that?
Right, it’s not our primary source. Yeah, it’s not as efficient. There are plenty of people who don’t live in the sun who eat a lot of animal fat, who don’t have vitamin D issues. Fluoride causes vitamin D deficiency… You can’t just isolate one factor and blame everything on it. Well, I can. Thyroid, I can blame everything on hypothyroidism, on thyroid dysfunction, but again, it’s a little bit more complicated. And supplements, isn’t it better to get it from your food? — We know that omega-3 — the sardines, the whatever… I don’t trust anybody’s vats and vats of oil… becoming rancid and then put it in these little capsules. I’m suspicious of that. If you can get it from your food I would recommend that.
Dr Bright
Me too… But I just want to make sure people are covered depending on their unique situation. So I think we’re on the same page now where sun can be a factor. And you’re just saying that you lean into the food source. An area I want to dig into a bit more in that, because if you do a “Google” search, foods that are high in vitamin D, it’s going to give you this list. – I’m assuming by the way you responded there, you’re not thinking we need to be that nuanced and search out these specific top foods to get it. You’re just eating your animal fats and that’s gonna cover you.
Absolutely. Because you do a “Google” search, it is predisposed toward the cholesterol hypothesis. You’re never gonna find [anything], unless you do the deep dives that I do in my research. [BOY, Ain’t that the truth! — GC]
On face value [from google], – stay in the sun, avoid animal fat. – So you’re not gonna find… those top foods that you find, it’s a crock. All Italians gravitate to the sun in the summer and they all think they’re getting tons of iodine. And all of my Italian patients that I had when I had a big practice, open practice before “COVID” they were iodine deficient… So, — it’s like that. —
Are you talking about vitamin D or iodine?
I was just mentioning iodine because people think that if you live by the sea, you can absorb the iodine.
Got it. Okay. But given we need to work with where people are at… somebody in Ontario, not getting sun throughout the winter, not eating the way you’re recommending. And even maybe they are eating a lot of animals, it’s just not to the carnivore extreme. Could you see an importance for vitamin D supplementation, if they’re eating say an animal based diet, but still including some carbs and they need that little bump to keep their vitamin D in a good range?
I would question why they need that bump. — I would say — they should eat enough fat because that’s the most bioavailable and healthy source. I’m a bit of a hard ass… But I think that obviously if you can’t eat, if you live in Ontario, I’m going to live in Scotland half the year, the sun is not going to shine very much. I will not consider taking vitamin D because I eat a lot of fat. But I think that you can eat some carbohydrates. I think that then we’re gonna, we might veer off into the Randle effect, [Randle Cycle] I don’t know. But if you have adequate animal fat and you’re taking iodine and you have the ability to make, turn that fat into vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin E, then there’s no need to supplement. So I don’t know, if you refuse to eat animal fat, definitely you should supplement.
Okay, so for your ideal diet, high in animal fat, moderate protein. No carbohydrates.Talk about the protein piece and how, if it does, how that changes, the amount of that macro people are getting, at different stages of healing.
Initially because fat is anti inflammatory, you gotta make the hormones out of cholesterol… So we know that excess protein turns into glucose. If you can’t metabolize that protein into, I’m not going to show my muscles. But if you get into muscles and into enzymes and all the things that protein is needed for it’s just going to turn into glucose. We can only metabolize glucose or ketones. So I definitely dial down the protein to moderate in a healing state. Because most ill health is inflammation.
Other than diet, what are the biggest areas that in the modern world we’re being impacted negatively by inflammation?
I think that we are… over exercising. – Stress. I think that stress will definitely put a dent in our, it can turn an immune system autoimmune very easily because… cortisol causes inflammation. High cortisol levels cause inflammation. So we can go into all kinds of substances that people take from synthetic hormones to over exercising to foods that trigger inflammation. All of that will affect. So that’s still diet. Sorry. But yeah, stress, definitely over exercising, definitely. Pollution.
What are some of the safeguards, I know you filter your water, but what are some of the things in your environment at home you do to protect against environmental toxins?
Take iodine that’s my shield.
And what dose are you taking daily?
I’m taking six drops of 5% daily. Have been for a long time.
Any specific reason, previous health challenges? Because that’s more than you’re recommending to others.
I want a big shield. Because I don’t run for the hills. I’m falling in the “Adriatic.” Who knows those fishing boats and the crap that their engines are spilling into the water. – Because I know it comes out in my urine, if it’s too much. I take 12 drops when I’m traveling. Last time we got into testing a little bit.
You talked about two tests that you would do with people. One being thyroid, another being salivary cortisol. Let’s talk about a thyroid panel and get into details there because there’s thyroid panels that your doctor will do, and then there’s additional things that can be added. What do you think is really important there?
Free “T3” and free “T4.” And if you have inflammation, the thyroid antibodies. The two… that I recommend are antithyroid peroxidides and antithyroglobulin. Unfortunately, statistically more people have positive antithyroid peroxidase. And I’ve had patients ask for both, and they absolutely refuse to do both, to test both. And they also have a situation where once the antibodies are positive, they won’t test again… because they don’t believe that you can make them go down, you can bring them into remission, which my patients do all the time. You even have labs that say above a thousand in somebody who’s pregnant who needs to get those antibodies down, they don’t know we can’t see them go down. They have to go to a special lab to ask for the actual number. They don’t even bother because they assume that there’s nothing can be done. They can’t be reduced, they can’t go into remission.
Different people you’ve worked with over the years, following what we talked about today, the diet as the base, supplementing with iodine. What different chronic health conditions have you seen or reversed?
Thyroid cancer, — schizophrenia, —– many.
Anything that you found is particularly resistant to all this?
Weight loss. Some people, it takes a long time… I’m not really focused on weight loss. A lot of people are focused on weight loss. I’m more focused on getting the body healthy. So depression will go away for some people, before the 20 pounds that they’re trying to lose.
For the person out there… feeling like I’ve been stuck with weight loss, this sounds interesting, but you’re telling me to consume copious amounts of fat. How am I ever going to burn the fat on my body? Give them some reassurance there.
Well, when I give them a protocol, it’s for their structure so I’m not counting calories. I’m giving them the quantity of protein that they need for their structure and the quantity of fat that they need for their energy. It’s not calories in calories out there is a certain amount of nutrition, energy you would say that you need in adolescence. And somebody who’s six foot tall needs a lot more than somebody who’s five foot tall. But when you are in ketosis, which you will be, you will be burning your own body fat. But if you go out and run a marathon, you’re not going to burn any body fat. Because you can eat nothing and not burn any fat, because your body is holding onto that fat because it thinks you’re in danger.
And for you, the big tool to… provide the input, to calm the body, is this high fat diet.
Yeah, absolutely, [it] reduces stress.
For somebody, again, thinking about heading into what we’re talking about today, but this is a big leap. They’ve been having a more standard type diet and they’re thinking about all the saturated fat they’re gonna consume by eating this way. And they’re thinking conventional, which we’ve all been told saturated fat causes all kinds of heart disease, health complications. Help put their mind to rest.
Well, saturated fat is cholesterol, so we know that, — that’s what I’ve written about in my books. Saturated fat. — Cholesterol prevents depression. Avoiding saturated fat, – people who have low cholesterol levels are more at the risk of depression. They’re more at the risk of mental health issues. – – So, — everything in our body needs – cholesterol. It’s an anti inflammatory, it’s a source of our brain tissue, it’s a source of our nerve tissue, it’s a source of our energy and it’s a source of our steroid hormones. So our entire endocrine system, steroids, hormones are made out of cholesterol. So if you’re avoiding something that you need so much, we are human because we started eating… so much animal fat. Our brain grew bigger because we ate animal fat. More animal fat. This is documented. You kind of have to take a… I don’t want to say a leap of faith, but if it’s only been, I’m 62, it’s only been since 1984… that everybody has told you because it wasn’t until that “Time” cover story with the unhappy face, — the bacon bad and the eggs bad, that everybody started avoiding cholesterol. Before that, it was after “Ancel Keys,” the cholesterol hypothesis, heart disease was supposedly caused by this. But that is really the time if you look at pictures of people at “Jones” beach, on the beaches, that is really the time that you see and you have to think that was only what is it, 60 years ago, that is not history.
Dr Bright
Because this diet is so radically different from what the average person is eating right now. Give us some ideas of meals and what a typical day could look like for somebody.
Well, it depends if you’re six feet tall, but I’m five foot seven and a half. I eat, I have decaf with butter and egg yolk and then I go paddleboarding and then I come back and I do protocols and then I eat, – I don’t know, 150, 200 grams of steak — with some butter on it. And then I work. And then for dinner I have the same thing. So for me, I may have run and have some beef jerky during the day between calls. – But that’s — fine for me. Somebody might want more, somebody might want more chicken. Somebody might want bacon. If I could get bacon, I would eat it. I can’t get bacon. So I like bacon. It’s yummy, but I can’t get it, so I’m not going to bother. – I remember I put together for my height, a pound of meat and 4 ounces of butter just to make it visual.
And because your diet is so limited in diversity, are you still excited about your meals?
Oh yeah, I am. – I am, I am. I don’t think the variety. I love how I feel and I’m hungry when I go eat, so I’m very happy to eat. I love my decaf with a froth of butter this thick in the morning. I may have one again… at 11 if I did 8k like I did yesterday on the paddleboard. So… yeah, I’m definitely excited about my meals. But I’m excited about life. Meals just fuel…
Fuel, so you can live the life? So for you, drink wise, you have your decaf fatty coffee, you filter your water. Any other drinks in there for fun?
Sometimes I’ll have a half a shot of bourbon. Like, this much.
And is that purely for fun or do you think there’s certain benefits or negative side effects?
That’s just for fun. It’s small enough. Oh my God. No benefits at all. – But as I said, it’s such a small amount. If I had more, I’d turn red. — — I would flush. It would cause a vasomotor reaction. It would cause a hot flash because of the cortisol produced by alcohol being a stimulant.
Let’s talk about sleep and how you prioritize that. I’m assuming you must, given the fact, the thesis of — everything you’re working on through diet and lifestyle is to… bring down the sympathetic and bring up the parasympathetic system, the rest and digest. How do you look at sleep and how do you make sure you’re getting best sleep possible?
I go to bed early, go to bed about 9. I read. 8:30, 9:00, latest 9:30… I have fat before I go to sleep so I can tone down. We know that cholesterol actually can increase… parasympathetic tone. As an osteopath, parasympathetic and sympathetic have to be in balance, so that’s very much a part of my training. And the magic of learning how to do it with food, with fat, it was really an epiphany for me, which is what I did when I went into menopause at 52. So I give myself fat. I have obviously, if we’re going to go for a trip or I have something very stressful coming up. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I have fat in my fridge. I just grab it and eat it and I go right back to sleep.
And what will that fat snack look like whether it’s before bed or middle of the night? Just a piece of butter or something simple, I assume.
Piece of butter on a meat cookie or… some of that tallow that I have from the leftover after I’ve given the gelatin to my daughter. There’s that big thing of fat, that’s tallow. Yeah. I’ll salt it and put salt. Yeah, just salt… I’ll freeze it and I’ll cut it into chunks and I’ll just leave it there.
One thing I want to mention too, tying iodine into the sleep piece. You don’t want to have your iodine right before bed. I’ve done that before and it does stimulate you. So you want to be careful. Yeah, it’ll wake up your thyroid… Your thyroid will be like, oh, let’s make hormone, it’s the morning…
Any areas in the last number of years that you’ve really taken a pivot on or changed your mind on things?
DAIRY [This is a whole new rabbit hole! – GC]
I actually republished my “Good Fat is Good for Women: Menopause” book because… the snacks had cheese… And I decided that if people had – menopausal symptoms because of the inflammation and because of their adrenal issues, they definitely had to take out the dairy, which causes inflammation because of the xenomorphins.
Okay, we did talk about dairy last time, but since it’s brought up again, I want to get into it a bit more here. Is this all dairy or just cow dairy?
Not butter. Not butter. — No, not butter, yeah. Oh,”A2,” “A1” you’re talking about. Well, just different… There’s a lot of people in the health space that won’t have cow dairy, but they’ll have sheep or goat. Right. It’s “A2.” There is a lot of variables.
Well, that’s “A2.” But you can also have “A2” of cows milk as well.. There’s a lot of nuance and we got into again some of this last time. But are we talking about all dairy or are there certain details or types within that that we can still have?
I think if you’re on fire, you can’t have any dairy. You can have butter because we know that buttermilk is where all the proteins go. Unless you are so sensitive that you need to make ghee and you see the teeny tiny bit of milk protein and lactose come to the top. None of this has to do with lactose. It’s all about proteins. – So the more inflamed you are,you should not have any kind of dairy. So you can have Guernsey, Jersey. Those places in England, they have the breeds of cows that are”A2.” Senegal… Certain cows, yes, they are “A2,” but there is still a small quantity of casinomorphins in that. So there’s more in the regular, that breed that most cow milk is, but there’s a — smaller amount in the “A2” goat, sheep, Jersey, Guernsey breeds. Now, if you are on fire. I don’t recommend it at least for a certain amount of time, until the fires have been put out.
Did you personally notice a difference in your health when you took dairy out?
I did. My digestion was better, my husband’s breath was better. —– Yeah. And then I read Keith Woodford’s book “Devil in the Milk.”
Talk more about what that brought up for you?
Just reading about how heart disease, diabetes things that we basically, he explains that all chronic, most chronic diseases are because we’re drinking “A1” milk. So he’s an Australian and or actually New Zealand, I don’t know, anyway, but he’s talking mostly about how they actually prevented in Australia, the ability for people to have access to “A2” milk, even though it was so much more documented, so much healthier for people.
Dr Bright
So throughout our conversation, the two big targets that we’re honing in on, cortisol through stress, we want to bring that down. Inflammation. Given the focus in on inflammation, we talked about testing before, do you see any value in doing a test to look at overall inflammation and getting a number there to work from?
No. I recommend doing salivary cortisol, a diurnal salivary cortisol test, because your inflammation, you can do the “CRP,” you can do, it doesn’t matter. Once you fix the cortisol, once you’ve removed obstacles to your healing, all those will come into line. They will come in. —– You have to reduce the inflammation. So I don’t recommend testing. It’s just like, I recommend testing the thyroid and recommend testing salivary cortisol. And when you fix those things, everything else will just kind of come into line. So… there’s no reason to pay all this money for these other tests.
Elizabeth, really enjoyed round two, getting into some details on a lot of things we talked about in the first round. I appreciate you, the work you’re doing. We’re gonna link up your website, your books, everything in the show notes… You’re gonna wanna stick around here and catch this other incredible episode. You don’t wanna miss it. I’ll see you over there.
We’ve tested over 8,000 people in our office, over 97% are deficient in iodine, the vast majority, severely deficient in iodine. All thyroid hormone can’t be made without iodine. Thyroxin, or “T4” is four atoms of iodine attached.
Dr Bright
I do not necessarily agree with all that Dr Bright has said, but it is certainly food for thought. It also makes me even less inclined to trust the medical industry if that is possible. – GC

When I saw Valerie Curren’s comment, I decided to erase my comment full of swear words and post the bits of information I had already gathered from Dr Boyle way back in February 2020. That man saved a lot of lives! Unfortunately he is another who ‘conveniently died’ just like Kary Mullis (PCR test inventor) and Nobel Prize winning French virologist Luc Montagnier.
Dr Luc Montagnier contended that “it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.” They Are Not Vaccines, They are Poisons”: Outspoken Nobel Prize Winner Virologist Luc Montagnier Dies Before Attending Grand Jury Proceeding for Crimes Against Humanity.
Valerie Anne Smith @ValerieAnne1970 · Aug 2 Just days after Prof. Francis Boyle agreed to testify against Bill Gates & Albert Bourla over the deadly COVID mRNA shots… he was FOUND DEAD.
Boyle authored the U.S. Bioweapons Act & called the mRNA injections ‘Bioweapons & Franken-Shots.’
Where does the Pentagon fit into this?…
Just when you thought you’d heard it all, this resurfaced interview with Prof. Francis Boyle—the man who literally WROTE the 1989 Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act—will leave you speechless.
He states on record that both SARS-CoV-2 and the mRNA injections were DARPA-funded offensive bioweapons programs from the start. Gain-of-function? That was the cover story.
According to Boyle, the real goal was always “lethal yet vaccinate-able” population reduction technology. He names names: UNC, Wuhan, Fauci, Daszak, Baric…the whole club.
He goes further—calls the shots “synthetic biological weapons of mass destruction” because they trigger autoimmune carnage, prion-like misfolding & turbo cancers.
Boyle filed lawsuits, begged Congress & warned the world. Just 20 days after agreeing to testify for the prosecution, he was found dead. The same pattern we’ve seen with dozens of doctors & whistleblowers since 2020. Pure coincidence?
If a man who drafted the actual law defining bioweapons says we just lived through the biggest biowarfare attack in history…why isn’t every news channel screaming this from the rooftops?
The most chilling part? Boyle predicted exactly what we’re seeing now: myocarditis, strokes, infertility & cancers exploding in the injected.
He said the spike protein itself is the weapon & the lipid nanoparticles were engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier. This wasn’t a mistake. It was a military-grade kill vector dressed up as “public health.”
It is past time for the new Nuremberg-style trials to begin…
Never Forget…
So many still have no idea what Trump already stopped from happening.
It wasn’t supposed to end with temporary lockdowns and a vaccine you could refuse.
So many still have no idea what Trump already stopped from happening. It wasn’t supposed to end with temporary lockdowns and a vaccine you could refuse. Most people who just found out about the NWO in 2020 will never understand.
No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse.
Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Once the news leaked that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission, the planners lost public support and the scheme collapsed
It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back.
Features of the CDC’s edicts did incredible damage. It imposed the rent moratorium. It decreed the ridiculous “six feet of distance” and mask mandates. It forced Plexiglas as the interface for commercial transactions. It implied thatmail-in balloting must be the norm, which probably flipped the election. It delayed the reopening as long as possible. It was sadistic.
People were to be isolated, given only food and some cleaning supplies. They would be banned from participating in any religious services. The plan included contingencies for preventing suicide. There were no provisions made for any legal appeals or even the right to legal counsel.
The plan’s authors were unnamed but included 26 footnotes. It was completely official. The document was only removed on about March 26, 2023. During the entire intervening time, the plan survived on the CDC’s public site with little to no public notice or controversy.
It was called “Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings.” …
….
From my old notes with some modifications:
Professor Dr. Francis A. Boyle has been sounding the alarm so I am going to look at the two papers he points us to and the people involved. Professor Dr. Francis A. Boyle is ”… a leading American expert international law; responsible for drafting the Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act of 89…”
So he had a major hand in developing the following:
Biological Weapons Convention “was the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning the production of an entire category of weapons. It currently commits the 170 states which are party to it to prohibit the development, production, and stockpiling of biological and toxin weapons. However, the absence of any formal verification regime to monitor compliance has limited the effectiveness of the Convention. As of April 2013, an additional 10 states have signed the BWC but have yet to ratify the treaty.” — https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Convention
CHINA is a signatory as is the USA. (Now we know why there were so many labs set-up outside of the USA.)
This is an interview of Dr Boyle by Alex Jones. Luckily there is a transcript at Natural News on 02/20/2020 by Mike Adams
What follows is one of the most important interviews of the year. Biological warfare expert Prof. Francis Boyle appeared as a guest with Alex Jones on the Alex Jones Show, sharing his “smoking gun” findings about the coronavirus being engineered as a weapon that’s designed, “for efficient spreading in the human population,” according to one of the science papers he references.
We confirmed Prof. Boyle’s findings by purchasing the full PDF of that paper and reviewing it in a detailed article we posted yesterday at this link.
That paper describes the CoVid-19 novel coronavirus as possessing unique “gain-of-function” properties that make it the perfect bioweapon, while confirming these new properties were from artificial origins, not natural viral evolution. (In other words, it was engineered.)
Below, we print the full transcript of the Francis Boyle / Alex Jones interview, along with the video of the full exchange below, via Brighteon.com. (The full show is also posted on Banned.video)
Mike has placed in his BRIGHTEON VIDEOS under the Francis Boyle category not only the initial Francis Boyle / Alex Jones interview (1 hr 15 min), but many, many others. I counted well over 30 InfoWars interviews before giving up. This makes me wonder if those interviews may have played a part in the destruction of InfoWars by the DeepState lawyers. And no I do not like Alex Jones.
PROFESSOR FRANCIS BOYLE, Author of the US 1989 Biological Weapons and Antiterrorism Act:
“THE PENTAGON is behind the mRNA shots… The Pentagon is both sides of the argument, they developed the weapon [SARSCoV2 virus which caused Covid19] and the alleged vaccine.”
Back in February 2020, I found this second , later interview with Dr Boyle from February 22, 2020.
…Professor Boyle believes he has been blackballed by the mainstream media due to blowing the whistle on the Anthrax attacks on the U.S. in the wake of 9/11, stating he believes the Anthrax originated from American BSL-4 (Biosaftey Level 4) labs, which are the highest level of labs that conducts research and development on the most deadly substances known to man…
The first paper Dr Boyle discusses is a French paper . Dr Boyle states they found ‘gain of function’ and ‘ gain of function’ studies are ONLY of use for weaponizing viruses. The Journal Nature, in an editorial refutes this.
In 2019, a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infecting Humans has emerged in Wuhan, China. Its genome has been sequenced and the genomic information promptly released. Despite a high similarity with the genome sequence of SARS-CoV and SARS-like CoVs, we identified a peculiar furin-like cleavage site in the Spike protein of the 2019-nCoV, lacking in the other SARS-like CoVs. In this article, we discuss the possible functional consequences of this cleavage site in the viral cycle, pathogenicity and its potential implication in the development of antivirals.
”….we identified a peculiarfurin-like cleavage site in the Spike protein of the 2019-nCoV, lacking in the other SARS-like CoVs.….”
That is as close as scientists are going to get to saying this virus does not look natural. They are aware of what happen to the Indians who were made to retract their paper and are not about to step over the politically correct line.
They KNEW the vaccine was deadly. 200 members of Congress were treated with Ivermectin during Covid-19.
The Second paper he discusses is the Baric paper out of University of North Carolina.
This is the nitty gritty of the transcript of the first interview by Alex Jones:
“I think I have the definitive evidence where this came from and it came from the BSL-3 biowarfare lab at the University of North Carolina.”
It was Electronically Published on November 8, 2015
And LOOK who funded it! The National Institutes of Health under Fauci AND the State Key Program for Basic Research Grants from the Chinese Ministry of Science. Fauci not only funded the initial research but indicated interest in funding further research.
Abstract
The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV underscores the threat of cross-species transmission events leading to outbreaks in humans. Here we examine the disease potential of a SARS-like virus, SHC014-CoV, which is currently circulating in Chinese horseshoe bat populations. Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV.
Additionally, in vivo experiments demonstrate replication of the chimeric virus in mouse lung with notable pathogenesis. Evaluation of available SARS-based immune-therapeutic and prophylactic modalities revealed poor efficacy; both monoclonal antibody and vaccine approaches failed to neutralize and protect from infection with CoVs using the novel spike protein.
On the basis of these findings, we synthetically re-derived an infectious full-length SHC014 recombinant virus and demonstrate robust viral replication both in vitro and in vivo. Our work suggests a potential risk of SARS-CoV re-emergence from viruses currently circulating in bat populations.
Most of us, thanks to PAVACA, are very familiar with the above information, however it was all new in February of 2020 and saved lives. I am not going to try and do a bio of Dr Boyle, I am sure others will do a much better job than I can. I only wish Dr Boyle could have witnessed this.
Numerous lines of evidence show Fauci lied to us about the pandemic’s biggest questions — origins, severity, lockdowns, and masks — all of which was just exposed at an explosive hearing.
Rest in well deserved peace Warrior, your job here on earth is done. Others will take it from here.
Well here is a bit of VERY BAD NEWS that showed up on the daily thread.
YOU ADDED WHAT TO MY CHEESE???
First I want to give a MAJOR H/T to Dr. Mercola, Ashley Armstrongof Robert Kennedy Jr’s Children’s Health Defense Organization and to The Burning Platform for bringing this to our attention. Dr Mercola has drawn attacks from the Cabal early on especially during the beginnings of Covid as has the Children’s Health Defense Organization.
Guest Post by Ashley Armstrong Rennet is used as a clotting agent to curdle the milk into cheese, separating the liquid parts of milk from the solids. Pfizer makes a genetically modified rennet, but because of a labeling loophole, cheese containing Pfizer’s rennet does not have to be labeled as containing a genetically modified organism.
Story at a glance:
Traditionally, cheese was made with just four ingredients: milk, salt, starter culture and animal rennet.
Rennet is used as a clotting agent to curdle the milk into cheese, separating the liquid parts of milk from the solids. It’s an essential part of the cheese-making process.
Today, there are four types of rennet used in the cheese-making industry: animal rennet, vegetable rennet, microbial rennet and a genetically modified version called FPC (fermentation-produced chymosin), made by Pfizer.
Bioengineered FPC was granted Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status, which exempted Pfizer from the pre-approved requirements that apply to other new food additives. This is even though studies have detailed concerns about safety.
An estimated 90% of North American cheese is made with FPC rennet, and ingredient labels do not distinguish between bioengineered rennet and the original animal-based type so consumers have no way of knowing what they’re eating.
…Safety concerns of GM enzymes
Well, again, this technology is new. So there are no long-term studies evaluating the safety of eating a small amount of this genetically modified food additive every single day. But there are two main concerns: 1) toxicity and 2) digestive issues since these rennet alternatives can serve as an allergen.
Toxicity concerns
Toxicity means that the enzyme solution contains biotoxins from the genetically modified host (mold or fungus) that is being cultured and fermented in the lab. The producers of these enzymes claim the final FPC enzyme solution is highly purified, but some people react as though they still contain some of the allergens from the host microorganisms themselves.
In fact, traces of the genetically engineered bacteria have been found in enzymes. A few quotes from the literature regarding these toxicity concerns. I don’t know about you, but I have no desire to consume biotoxins from genetically modified organisms! “Genetically modified food enzymes are currently produced from GMOs. Safety concerns have been raised regarding potential contamination of food with bacterial toxins or mycotoxins, allergens, or uncharacterized extraneous substances as impurities. “Because these enzymes are purified from microbial sources, toxic substances might be present in enzyme preparations/isolates. The toxic substances are basically bacterial toxins and mycotoxins, which might cause problems/risks related to the health of consumers.
“Safety legislation is also very much attentive regarding the allergenic properties of manufactured enzymes, as it is well known that enzymes are potent inhalative sensitizers. “Apart from that, numerous uncharacterized extraneous substances/ impurities of microbial/biological origin may also be present in the enzyme preparation, which is also a matter of prime concern while evaluating the safety of commercial enzyme products.
“While food enzyme preparations are considered unlikely to cause any acute toxicity, genotoxicity, or repeat-dose oral toxicity, it is the fermentation product(s) of microorganisms from the manufacturing process that is/are of interest due to the potential presence of secondary metabolites that may induce toxicity when ingested (eg. aflatoxins, fumonisins and/or ochratoxins).”
So, some are concerned about continuous ingestion of these biotoxins over time, and the negative health consequences those would have over the course of years. And unfortunately, there isn’t much regulation here. “Currently, the companies themselves are responsible for the quality control of their products.” Gee, that’s not helpful!
Allergens and digestive issues
So as a result of a small amount of these toxins potentially showing up in the final cheese product (and slight structural changes in the final proteins), the cheese can now serve as an allergen and can cause an allergic reaction, or digestive and respiratory issues.
Stomach upset or discomfort.
Runny nose, increase in mucus production.
Consumers then may think they can’t digest cheese — but hey, maybe it is just the cheese that was made! It may not be the dairy itself, but the microorganism residues that elicit an allergic response, or irritate the gut lining.
I do not digest cheese that is made with this FPC (which again can be “vegetable rennet” or “microbial rennet” on labels). I get stomach upset and a disruption of my normal bowel movements. So something isn’t going right there! I can only digest cheese made with animal rennet, so I am very picky with what cheese I consume day to day! GMO cheese may compromise your gut health One of the biggest issues here is the potential disruption of the gut microbiome. “Lastly, the case study highlights the issues related to the dissemination of [antimicrobial resistance] genes due to their potential acquisition by the human commensal flora, via direct food consumption and by environmental bacteria through contact with soil and water surfaces or food waste. This is especially the case as a living GMM [genetically modified micro-organism] was found in a FE [enzyme] preparation.” In addition, allergic responses from ingesting the biotoxin residues or modified protein structures.
👉“A known safety risk linked to industrial enzyme use is respiratory allergy and for most proteases, there is also some potential for skin and eye irritation … Enzymes present a risk of a respiratory allergy (e.g. Aspergillus-derived enzymesin bakers’ asthma) and it is well described in the scientific literature …
“Genetic modification of enzymes may also change their allergenic properties, posing new potential health risks. For instance, type I sensitization was found in a study of 813 exposed industrial workers using genetically modified enzymes.”
So, it is documented in the literature, I experience it personally, and have heard from multiple other people — some people have digestive issues digesting the microbial and vegetable rennets.
But do just fine with cheese made traditionally with animal rennet. There are consequences when we try to outsmart nature! Originally published by Mercola.com

The above chart listing is from a Pfizer-BioNTech document obtained via FOIA, showing the IgG binding results of a few of the C4591001 human test subjects for the company’s “flagship” COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2. The document was given to the FDA on 19 September 2020. BNT162b2 was granted the initial EUA for use in the United States in December 2020.
This series on the disaster of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 “vaccines” is dedicated to Yours Truly’s cousin Bill, who “died suddenly and unexpectedly” in September 2023.
Today’s offering will present and discuss some aspects of the emergence of “turbo-cancers” that appear in people who get injections of the COVID-19 “vaccines” (actually, gene therapy shots.) Today’s presentation is not an “magnum opus” compilation, but rather an adjunct to more understanding of the issue. It will not discuss the presence of the SV40 cancer promoter code that was discovered recently in the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” — that is an issue to be addressed in another post. What will be presented today is the role of IgG4-engendered cancer onset and/or relapse due to “vaccination” by the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.”
Without “wearying by recitals”, the story begins with a short presentation on the Ig system of the human body. This system consists of five different Ig cell types: IgM; IgD; IgA; IgE, and IgG. IgA and IgG cells can be divided into subclasses. What are called “subclass switches” within the IgA class and IgG class are regulated via interaction with the T cells of the human body. The Ig system is basically an infection-fighter system. It needs to be in balance in order for this work to be successfully performed. Imbalances of the Ig system can result in the incidence of various medical disease conditions, such as autoimmune diseases and asthma. Some people have inherited imbalances of their Ig system. Today’s offering will confine itself to the IgG class.
The IgG class of cells can be divided into four separate subclasses: IgG1; IgG2; IgG3; and IgG4. Robert H. Pointer wrote the following regarding the IgG class in general: “Firstly, IgG neutralizes pathogens such as viruses and bacteria by binding to key pathogen surface proteins and preventing interaction of the pathogen with host cells. In doing so, the antibody [of the IgG cell] neutralizes the ability of the pathogen to enter host cells and replicate.” (Encyclopedia of Immunology, Second Edition, 1998, “Immunoglobulin G” chapter; bolding is mine.)
Please read those two sentences above by Prof. Pointer again. Now look again at the chart at the top of today’s offering, which shows the high binding ability of the Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2, to the cells of the human subjects who took this “vaccine” in the C4591001 clinical trial of said “vaccine.” This is the same BNT162b2 “vaccine” formula that was granted the initial EUA by the FDA in December 2020 for use in the United States. It is also the same BNT162b2 “vaccine” formula (under both the name, “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine” and under the name, “COMIRNATY”) that was used in the United States until the spring of 2023, at which time it was removed from use in this country and was substituted with the “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine” by the same company. BNT162b2 is still used in other countries. It appears that two of the main goals of BNT162b2 (a modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”) were, and are (both in the BNT162b2 “vaccine”, AND in the basic formulation of the current “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine”),to evade the “vaccine” recipient’s natural IgG class cells’ “detection and fight” capability; and, to compromise the “vaccine” recipient’s natural IgG class cells’ ability to DENY ACCESS tothe “vaccine” into the cells of the recipient’s body (this, via the use of the lipid nanoparticles ALC-0159 and ALC-0315 in these “vaccines.”),
Yours Truly now turns to https://jessicar.substack.com/p/igg4-and-cancer-a-mechanism-of-action, “IgG4 and cancer – a mechanism of action for cancer relapse and onset”, published on 30 December 2022. Dr. Rose describes how IgG4 class cells can, by “class switching” (also called “Fab Arm Exchange”) due to chronic exposure to an antigen, literally “turn around” their normal antibody function of tumor suppression into tumor progression. Dr. Rose then goes on to discuss this phenomenon in light of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” and how these injections introduce “highly immunogenic protein” into the body of the “vaccine” recipient, which then induces “continuous antigen stimulation by the injectables’ contents and their by-products” (Italics mine.) She ends her article with: “My take home message: This could be potentiating relapses of cancers previously in remission and also new and rare cancer appearances.” In my opinion, this is particularly troubling, since nobody really knows how long the modRNA, the spike protein, and the ALC-0159 and ALC-0315 lipid nanoparticles remain in the “vaccine” recipient’s body; especially if that “vaccine” recipient continues to get modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine booster shots” to “complete a catch-up series”, or the “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine” made by Pfizer-BioNTech and also by Moderna.
We now turn to the work of Dr. Ryan Cole, the pathologist. He has been sounding the alarm over the presence of turbo-cancers in his modRNA COVID-19 “vaccinated” patients for over a year (and for which, he is now fighting the “professional misconduct charges” that were served against him by the Washington State medical licensing board. Please refer to https://vigilantnews.com/post/turbo-death-from-turbo-cancers-were-in-trouble-says-dr-ryan-cole, from 10 October 2023. Dr. Cole makes it clear that the “vaccines” do not actually cause cancer; they “cause immune suppression. They cause a disruption and a dysregulation of your immune system that normally is what would fight cancer.” (Another way, in my opinion, of saying the IgG4 “class switch” induced by the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” that turns this class of cells’ normal function of fighting tumors into, instead, allowing tumors to grow.)
The “Vidarsson paper” from 2014 describes the IgG subclasses, what they do, and what can happen when one or more of these subclasses are either deficient or increased too much: www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2014.00520/full, “IgG subclasses and allotypes: from structure to effector functions”, Gestur Vidarsson et al. Please see the section “IgG4” about how the IgG4 subclass works; and the section “IgG4 Fab Arm Exchange.”
IgG4 cells will also change in the unborn child and in its pregnant mother due to modRNA COVID-19 “vaccination.” Here is a graphic showing these changes:
The above graphic is from here: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.05.01.538955, “Diverging maternal and infant cord antibody functions from SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination in pregnancy”, Emily H. Adhikari, et al. From the Introduction: “After mRNA vaccination [of the pregnant mother], the primary form of immunity transferred to the fetus is antibodies, specifically IgG.” (Bolding mine)
Two blog posts by Igor Chudov provide more information. The first is from 21 October 2022: www.igor-chudov.com/p/cancer-rates-are-increasing-and-may, “Cancer Rates are Increasing — and May Get Much Worse.” In this post, Mr. Chudov discusses the 9-sigma increase in cancer rates in the United States and a similar rise in the UK. At the time of this post (a little over one year ago), there was suspicion regarding the reason why the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” were engendering an increase in cancer diagnoses: the suspicions rested on the use of the “faux” pseudouridine in the “vaccines”; the discovery of “loose DNA” in the “vaccines”; and the genotoxicity of the spike protein itself. By December, 2022, Mr. Chudov was on the trail of the IgG4-induced immune system damage engendered by the “vaccines”: www.igor-chudov.com/p/booster-caused-immune-tolerance-explains, “Booster-Caused IgG4 Immune Tolerance Explains Excess Mortality and “Chronic Covid.” Here, the following paper was referenced regarding the IgG4 “class switch”: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciimmunol.ade2798, “Class switch towards non-inflammatory, spike-specific IgG4 antibodies after repeated SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination”, Pascal Irrgang et al. (In other words, a “class switch” to the “tolerate but don’t clear” IgG4 cells.) The latest post by Mr. Chudov on the issue, that is very specific, is from 26 November 2023: www.igor-chudov.com/p/hyperprogressive-cancers-due-to-covid, “‘Hyperprogressive’ Cancers Due to COVID-Vaccine-Caused IgG4 Antibodies.” The take away from this post: “…IgG4 drives malignancy and aggressiveness of the real-life cancers they observed.” Here is a graphic from Mr. Chudov’s post, taken from this paper: https://jitc.bmj.com/content/8/2/e000661, “An immune evasion mechanism with IgG4 playing an essential role in cancer and implication for immunotherapy”, Hui Wang et al.
Finally, there is this: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2023.111015, “Potential health risks of mRNA-based vaccine therapy: A hypothesis”, by K. Acevedo-Whitehouse and R. Bruno, published on 25 January 2023. It appears that an important key to understanding the mechanisms of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” that can induce sufficient immune system suppression in the “vaccinated” person’s body it that these “vaccines” employ N1-methylpseudouridine. (This ingredient “evades” the body’s natural “immune system defense mechanism.”) The paper also discusses “other contaminants” in the “vaccines” that “…could further alter immune recognition and deregulate immune signalling pathways,…it is not unreasonable to assume that mRNA-based vaccines could induce sustained inflammation and a persistent anti-viral cellular state in various tissues.” (Italics mine) Yours Truly is including a graphic from the paper of what the synthetic RNA “vaccines” do to the cells of the “vaccine” recipient:
Now, as to the COVID-19 virus itself: There are elements within the virus itself that can cause immune system damage; that can change, damage, or destroy B-cells and CD-class cells in the body of the person who contracts a case of the virus; and may have other elements that can pave the way for cancer tumor onset or relapse. Yours Truly refers to this paper, from September 2020 (this was when BNT162b2 was in “clinical trials”): https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abc8511, “Deep immune profiling of COVID-19 patients reveals distinct immunotypes with therapeutic implications”, Divij Matthew et al. Prof. Matthew and his colleagues demonstrate concerning changes in B-cells and CD8 cells in certain COVID-19 infected patients. Certain immunotypes among the patients studied were more affected than others. From the Abstract: “Whereas immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels reportedly drop slightly ~8 weeks after symptom onset (24, 25), recovered patients maintain high spike protein-specific IgG titers (6, 26).” (Bolding mine)
Another view of the toxic properties of the COVID-19 virus itself, especially regarding the inducement of cancer, is here: https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/sars-cov-2-the-spike-protein-and, “SARS-CoV-2, the Spike Protein and Oncogenesis”, published on 2 November 2023. Walter M. Chesnut discusses his conclusion that the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself, plus its spike protein, change ALL the following body functions: DNA Repair; Cell Division; Apoptosis (natural cell death); Cellular Differentiation; and Cell-Cell Contact/Communication.
So, if the COVID-19 virus itself and its spike protein have properties that can engender the circumstances for cancer tumor onset, growth, and/or relapse, what makes the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” even more dangerous in this regard? One will point to the use of the ALC-0159 and ALC-0315 lipid nanoparticles in these “vaccines”, which facilitate entry of the “vaccine” ingredients to every cell of the recipient’s body; and, to the use of the N1-methylpseudouridine in these “vaccines” which “evade” the natural “enemy detection and destruction” processes of the “vaccine” recipient’s body.
In Yours Truly’s opinion, it took time, effort, and detailed investigation, to lab-create the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself and its spike protein; and, it took time, effort, and detailed investigation, to lab-create and assemble the ingredients (including the COVID-19 virus itself, and its spike protein) that were, and are, present in the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.” The FDA knew, back in the summer of 2020, and certainly on 30 April 2021, how dangerous the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” BNT162b2 was, and is. Please refer to: www.phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/reissue_5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf, FDA time-stamped on 30 April 2021. In fact, the FDA, on that date, knew that at least one IgG4 “class switch” condition was occurring in BNT162b2 “vaccinated” persons — Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (an IgG4 autoimmune disease), listed on page 38 of the report.
Of course, cancer can, and does, occur for other reasons than being engendered by COVID-19 “vaccination” or infection. There are many contributing factors — from genetic predisposition to smoking to accumulated immune system dysfunction, among others. However, while it can be fairly argued that the COVID-19 virus itself, with its spike protein, AND the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” based on said virus and its spike protein can, and do, engender cancer tumor growth and/or relapse — the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” are more dangerous in this regard. One can posit that it may be valuable for people to learn about family members have/had cancer; what history of cancer “runs in the family”, if any; about family members who have/had immune system issues; and so on. It is absolutely valuable for all people to be in, and remain in, the best physical shape and the best mental-health shape possible. It is absolutely valuable to follow a COVID-19 prevention/prophylaxis protocol.
The DemonRat Commies plans just became clear as I wrote this comment! It explains John Kerry’s travels and consultation with Iran during the Trump Admin. and so much more. I am going to flesh it out into an article.
The DemonRats were ALWAYS PLANNING ON USING TERRORISTS TO DESTROY THE USA and the plans were laid Years ago.
THAT is why Obama shipped the cargo planes of cash to Iran.
That is why the BILLIONS of $$$ and Arms sent to Ukraine have gone missing. That is why the Arms were left in Afghanistan.
It was NEVER BUMBLING. It was STOCKPILING the money and weapons needed to INVADE THE USA over our open borders, disguised as illegal immigration!
We tend to ignore John Kerry but I think we do so at our peril. On 2013-02-01 John Kerry succeeded Hillary Clinton as Obama’s US Secretary of State. Kerry was a former Chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Here are some articles about Kerry and the rest of the players in no particular order.
The Biden-Ukraine or Biden-Burisma scandal involves prominent members of the Obama administration, the DNC, and the Clinton campaign. Vice President Joe Biden publicly admitted that he had threatened Ukrainian leaders to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid unless they fired a prosecutor who was looking into a money laundering operation for which the Biden Family, thru Hunter Biden (right) received $50,000 a month in kickbacks.[10][11] …
New reports from OANN indicate that Biden’s son Hunter is not alone in corruption related to oil companies in Ukraine. Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Pelosi Jr. has had business dealings with Viscoil, and those videos are being systematically removed from YouTube to prevent further investigation….
Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, and Christopher Heinz, John Kerry stepson, formed Rosemont Seneca Partners, a private equity firm in 2009 with their friend, Devon Archer. …
U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden’s American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia. Vice President Joe Biden threatens Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin who was investigating his son, Hunter Biden, on the board of the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma Holdings….
This is the Algerian Strategy on full display AND Biden’s Admin is busy importing more people to terrorize us into submission.
I found Wictor’s archived version. (Feb 7, 2020) It does not hurt to have another copy:
In reading this twitter thread it becomes OBVIOUS that the HAMAS – Israel mess WAS VERY MUCH PLANNED AS ANOTHER EXCUSE TO SET OFF A ROUND OF TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE USA. Only this time it will be multiple attacks on many of our major cities.
Want a reason to ‘postpone the elections in 2024? How about rampant country wide terrorism.

[QUOTE]
A couple of days ago I wrote that the Democrats are implementing the Algerian Strategy in the United States.
@SpeakerPelosi tore up the State of the Union address to signal that she’s on board with the Algerian Strategy.
During the Algerian Civil War of 1991-2002, the Algerian government helped the Armed Islamic Group or GIA (Groupe Islamique Armé), the most violent terrorists in human history.
The GIA’s motto was “No agreement, no truce, no dialogue.”
All they did was mass murder civilians in night raids. They cut the throats of entire villages and dumped them into wells.
What the GIA wanted was preemptive nationwide surrender.
The government helped the GIA for almost eleven years, until the Algerian populace agreed to support the government.
Only then did the government take on and destroy the GIA.
The Democrats are doing the same thing here.
All over the country, the most violent criminals are being released.
Violent felonies such as killing a police officer while resisting arrest are being decriminalized.
Cash bail is being abolished.
Incarceration itself is on the verge of being abolished.
I said that the Democrats are even IMPORTING violent criminals.

And now we have the proof.
H. R. 5383. The New Way Forward Act.
It not only abolishes any form of punishment for illegal-alien criminals, it forces the government to REPATRIATE criminals we deported.
The bill is over 4000 pages long.
I’ll just post the titles.
TITLE I—End Mandatory Detention and Require Probable Cause for Arrest
SEC. 101. Phase-out of private for-profit detention facilities and use of jails.
SEC. 201. Time for commencing removal proceedings.
(After an illegal is ordered deported, release them, and if they evade custody for five years, the deportation order expires. Even for murderers.)
TITLE III—Limit Criminal-System-to-Removal Pipeline
SEC. 301. Criminal offenses and immigration laws.
(Eliminate aggravated felonies as a reason for deportation.)
TITLE IV—Restore Judicial Discretion and End Removal Without Due Process
SEC. 401. Immigration procedural changes.
(Give immigration judges the power to vacate all deportation orders, regardless of the conviction.)
TITLE V—Prohibition against Performance of Immigration Officer Functions by State and Local Officers and Employees
SEC. 501. Local enforcement.
(Make it a federal crime for state, county, and local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.)
TITLE VI—Decriminalize Migration
SEC. 601. Repealing migration criminal laws.
(Abolish all American immigration laws. Eliminate the borders.)
SEC. 701. Reconsidering and reopening immigration cases.
(Force the federal government to transport previously deported illegal aliens back to the United States.)
The New Way Forward Act will make it impossible to prevent illegal immigration, impossible to incarcerate illegal-alien criminals, and impossible to deport anybody for any reason.
This is the first nationwide attempt to implement the Algerian Strategy.
My thesis here is that the Cabal learned, in the late 1960s, early 1970s, that the earth was likely heading into an ice age. I documented this in GREENHOUSE, ICEHOUSE OR CLIMATIC MADHOUSE? h/t Neuman and Hearty (1996) They decided to hide that fact from the general population while preparing for glaciation by consolidating power, conserving resources and reducing world population growth. Via grant money they also directed research into genetic manipulation of plants and animals, surveillance techniques and other technology. They knew that over the last 5 to 8 million years during glaciation, CO2 dipped dangerously low, forcing the evolution of C4 plants and the extinction of mammals. This explains many of their disinformation campaigns such as ‘Global Warming, CO2 is BAD, Feminism, abortion is good, and having too many kids is BAD. It even explains the nuclear power scares. They are well aware that the Grand Solar Maximum that lifted the earth out of the Little Ice Age has now ended, and they may truly think that a new Ice Age is imminent.
No one wants to stick their neck out and predict glaciation, but it does not matter. The only choices are glaciation or a climatic ‘madhouse.’ Either way the only climate we will see in the near future is the ‘madhouse.’
Before I get into the evidence showing why the Cabal wants to conserve coal, oil and nuclear fuels for use during the coming cooling/ice age, I want to point out another indicator that the Cabal is expecting the transition to glacial conditions AND THEY EXPECT IT NOW. Since William McClenney wrote Glacial Inception: the climatic ‘madhouse’nine years ago, his link to the Neuman & Hearty paper has gone dead … Imagine that!!! Since I started to write this paper even more ‘clean-up’ of ‘inconvenient’ information has occurred so I am going to address that as a separate topic.
CLIMATIC MADHOUSE
I would also like to point out the recent change in the Cabal’s rhetoric. The talking heads no longer use ‘Global Warming,’ since it is no longer warming, and instead use ‘Climate Change’ or ‘Climate Disruption’. Hearty uses the phrase ‘Climatic Madhouse’ for the same phenomena. That is certainly a good reason for the Cabal to deep six the paper referenced by McClenney at WUWT. They do not want a reference pointing out that ‘Climate Disruption’ is not only natural, but an indication that we are heading into either Little Ice Age conditions or a full blown Ice Age.
The geology of the Last Interglaciation (sensu stricto, marine isotope substage (MIS) 5e) in the Bahamas records the nature of sea level and climate change. After a period of quasi-stability for most of the interglaciation, during which reefs grew to +2.5 m, sea level rose rapidly at the end of the period, incising notches in older limestone. After brief stillstands at +6 and perhaps +8.5 m, sea level fell with apparent speed to the MIS 5d lowstand and much cooler climatic conditions. It was during this regression from the MIS 5e highstand that the North Atlantic suffered an oceanographic “reorganization” about 118±3 ka ago. During this same interval, massive dune-building greatly enlarged the Bahama Islands. Giant waves reshaped exposed lowlands into chevron-shaped beach ridges, ran up on older coastal ridges, and also broke off and threw megaboulders onto and over 20 m-high cliffs. The oolitic rocks recording these features yield concordant whole-rock amino acid ratios across the archipelago. Whether or not the Last Interglaciation serves as an appropriate analog for our “greenhouse” world, it nonetheless reveals the intricate details of climatic transitions between warm interglaciations and near glacial conditions.
And a paper by different authors looking at a different part of the world showing a similar chaotic transition from the warm phase to the cold phase.
This is a review of several different studies. The scientists are looking at both the geochemical data and the biological data (pollen), two independent methods of determining the climate of the past showing the same chaos.
1. INTRODUCTION
The time intervals of global large-scale transitions between glacial and interglacial epochs are characterized by instable stages throughout Quaternary climate course. During such warm-cold transitions an increase of mid- and small-scale climate variations can be expected….
At the very end of the Eemian (PAZ E7) and just before the complete change to glacial conditions, a brief phase of warming is recognized from all geochemical indicators. This is indicated by the coordinate increase of contents and stable isotope values of both lake carbonate and the organic sediment fraction…
…Comparable findings were also described by earlier investigations of the Neumark–Nord profile (Litt, 1994). A pronounced increase of fluctuations in arboreal vegetation during the final stage of the Last Interglacial in LPAZ N8 is observed…. at least two stages of degradation of coniferous forest vegetation, while birch woodlands became widespread. Together with geochemical data, these can be interpreted as an indicator of increased climatic instability caused by short warming events during the very end of the Last Interglacial (Eemian)….
The earth’s climate seems to be bistable so that a temperature ‘low point’ has “increased climatic instability” as seen during the Little Ice Age. So whether we are looking at the very end of the Holocene and Glacial inception OR the earth bumping along at the low point with “cooling over the next ~90,000 years.” – Dr.Lorraine Lisiecki, April 6, 2010 at 7:31 pmthe chances are the earth will be experiencing increasingly unstable weather and the Cabal, darn well KNOWS THAT. Hence the new term ‘Climate Disruption’.
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTIC WE CAN EXPECT OF A COMING ICE AGE?
‘Arid, Windy, Dusty’ from lack of rain plus much lower CO2. Combine that with a shorter cooler summer growing season and you are looking at starvation, UNLESS you have greenhouses with Heat, CO2 and desalinated water. Under those conditions, coal, oil, gas and nuclear are priceless resources.
….The close correlation between climate and vegetation is evident in every part of the world. (The cold, dry conditions of Antarctica and the moist & humid conditions of the tropical rain forests in South America are just two examples of this powerful interaction.) The strong connection between the two is also proving to play a key role in categorizing and dividing the global climate into more specific zones….
Late in the 19th century, climatologist and botanist Wladimir Köppen developed a climate classification system based on vegetation. He used the correlation between vegetation and climate in different regions to divide the world’s climate into specific zones….
Climatologists continued to make amendments to Köppen’s climate classification. Rudolf Geiger was probably the most influential in making important amendments, and the subsequent Köppen-Geiger Classification System is one of the most widely used today….
The following graphs shows the Köppen Climate Boundary for mid America. If you look at the bottom graph, you can see how the cooling in the 1970s moved the Köppen Climate Boundary south by about 150 to 200 miles. Think what that did to the grain harvests in not only the USA, but also in Canada, Russia and China. World leaders were panicking as world grain stores were depleted to a 30 day supply by1969 per 1974 CIA Report mentioned below.
This is the December 3, 1972 Letter from George Kukla and others warning Nixon of a coming Ice Age. I originally saw this letter at Tony Heller’s site. Between the time I started writing and now it was removed. However I found another copy.
An important conference was held in January at Brown University: “The Present Interglacial, How and When Will it End?” As a result, the following letter was sent to the President. The media has not reported this, but you should be aware of the letter and its significance.
Dear Mr. President:
Aware of your deep concern with the future of the world, we feel obliged to inform you on the results of the scientific conference held here recently. The conference dealt with the past and future changes of climate and was attended by 42 top American and European investigators. We enclose the summary report published in Science and further publications are forthcoming in Quaternary Research.
The main conclusion of the meeting was that a global deterioration of climate, by order of magnitude larger than any hitherto experience by civilized mankind, is a very real possibility and indeed may be due very soon.
The cooling has natural cause and falls within the rank of processes which produced the last ice age. This is a surprising result based largely on recent studies of deep sea sediments.
Existing data still do not allow forecast of the precise timing of the predicted development, nor the assessment of the man’s interference with the natural trends. It could not be excluded however that the cooling now under way in the Northern Hemisphere is the start of the expected shift. The present rate of the cooling seems fast enough to bring glacial temperatures in about a century, if continuing at the present pace.
The practical consequences which might be brough by such developments to existing social institution are among others:
(1) Substantially lowered food production due to the shorter growing seasons and changed rain distribution in the main grain producing belts of the world, with Eastern Europe and Central Asia to be first affected.
(2) Increased frequency and amplitude of extreme weather anomalies such as those bringing floods, snowstorms, killing frosts, etc.
With the efficient help of the world leaders, the research …
With best regards,
George J. Kukla (Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory) R. K. Matthews (Chairman, Dept of Geological Sciences, Brown U)
And a 1974 article by the Guardian. Again, H/T Tony Heller. Funny, this one was not deep-sixed like the above image.
The Malthusian Eugenicists like John D Rockefeller seized on this coming Ice Age information to further scare world leaders into going along with their Depopulation plans as documented in the 1974 Kissinger Report, otherwise known as the National Security Study Memorandum NSSM 200[my excerpts]. (See the rest of my Depop series listed at the end of the article.)
As secret reports like 1974 NSSM 200 and the 1974 CIA Report: “A Study of Climatological Research as it Pertains to Intelligence Problems” were being written about the coming cooling/ possible glaciation, Maurice Strong, the Rockefeller’s lapdog, was screaming about ‘Global Warming’ at the UN Conference on the Human Environment, (June 1972.) There he was busytelling the newly formed NGOs to go home and raise hell. NGOs BTW were Strong’s brainchild based on YMCA International who he had worked with.LINK
It is instructive to read Strong’s 1972 Stockholm speech and compare it with the issues of Earth Summit 1992.Strong warned urgently about global warming, the devastation of forests, the loss of biodiversity, polluted oceans, the population time bomb. Then as now, he invited to the conference the brand-new environmental NGOs [non-governmental organizations]: he gave them money to come; they were invited to raise hell at home. After Stockholm, environment issues became part of the administrative framework in Canada, the U.S., Britain, and Europe. http://www.afn.org/~govern/strong.html
A year later the Rockefeller OPEC puppets — Think ARAMCO who Strong worked for — implemented the 1973 oil embargo quadrupling the price of oil by 1974. Remember, on August 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon closed the U.S. gold window and the Petrodollar Agreement was implemented in 1973.
“..There was a phony “nationalization” of Aramco in the 1970s… the Saudi government took over Aramco, formally, but then immediately turned around and granted the Aramco-Rockefeller consortium the exclusive contract to “manage” the operation…” LINK
So any bets the Malthusian Rockefellers were behind OPEC?
COOLING VS THE FOOD PROBLEM – First there is the problem of WATER.
I think everyone is aware of what shorter growing seasons do to the food supply, at least I hope so. I also hope people can connect increase in solar energy going into the oceans with an increase of evaporation and thus an increase in rain. Likewise a DECREASE in solar energy will mean less evaporation and less rain. Compared to the Holocene, the Wisconsin Ice Age was very dry.
“Summary map of vegetation cover at 8,000 14C years BP. By 8,000 14C y.a., the Earth was under a full interglacial climate,[the Holocene]with conditions warmer and moister than present in many parts of the world. Tropical forest in Africa (and probably also Asia) was expanded in area, and the areas of desert in Africa and Asia were much reduced.”
Africa is interesting. The present potential looks more like the full glaciation map than it does like the Early Holocene map.
Full glaciation
Early Holocene
Present Potential
So the first problem in an Ice Age (and now) is the lack of RAIN.
Greenhouses take the chaotic weather out of the picture
“The ice that had formed from falling snow during the transition from the last of the cold, dry, windy ice ages to the first of the warm, wet calms of the modern 10,000-year-long Holocene climate is 1,678 meters, just over a mile, down the GISP2 core. Rendered in ice, what exactly would it look like, this boundary of epochs? The young American scientists had read the literature from Chet Langway, Willi Dansgaard, Hans Oeschger, Wally Broecker, and others, and they had heard from the Europeans, who were about a year ahead of them in drilling at Summit. Yet still they were not entirely prepared for what they saw that day in the ice, for the suddenness of it.”…
“‘You did not need to be a trained ice core observer to see this,’ recalled Alley. ‘Ken Taylor is sitting there with the ECM and he’s running along and his green line is going wee, wee, wee, wee – Boing! Weep! Woop! And then it stays down.’ Dust in the windy ice age atmosphere lowered the acidity of the core to a completely new state. ‘We’re just standing there and he just draws a picture of it,”‘Alley said.”….

Paper after paper began to roll off the scientific presses from 1992 on, and just like the unfolding recognition of plate tectonics which preceded it by a few decades, it was literally riveting for all of us geologists fascinated by the Quaternary. So we get our first trap-speed 👉 𝕔𝕝𝕚𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕖 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕤𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙 𝕒𝕓𝕣𝕦𝕡𝕥𝕝𝕪 𝕗𝕣𝕠𝕞 𝕚𝕥𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝕥𝕠 𝕚𝕥𝕤 𝕨𝕒𝕣𝕞 𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕥𝕖 𝕚𝕟 𝕛𝕦𝕤𝕥 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕪𝕖𝕒𝕣.….” — William McClenney, Geologist THE END OF THE HOLOCENE
Notice the optimal range is 700 to 1200 PPM over double the current ambient levels. Also note plants suck the CO2 down to around 200 ppm. Outdoor studies have shown the same. Technology has even advanced to the point there is now a CO2 OPTIMIZER.
Growers tend to supplement CO2 in their greenhouse using a combination of educated guesswork and their talent and skill for growing crops. Adding CO2 is a matter of ‘feeling’, because it is simply not possible to measure the effectiveness of CO2. That is, until now. Ridder has, in partnership with Wageningen University, developed the CO2 Optimizer. This smart and helpful software module calculates the optimum level of CO2 in the greenhouse, enabling the grower to determine the most effective CO2 dose. The result: no more worrying about your CO2 strategy – it will always be on point for the best possible yields!
That device would certainly be useful in Ice Age greenhouses.
URANIUM AND NUCLEAR POWER
An obvious solution to the ‘cold, dry, windy ’ problem of an Ice Age is desalination. Israel put into large scale use the reverse osmosis technology developed in the USA in the early 60s. LINK 1 as well as water conservation methods in agriculture LINK 2-Israel agi.
Desalination was first developed in Israel in 1965, when Mekorot, Israel’s national water utility, established the first seawater desalination facility using vaporization technology in an effort to address the chronic thirst of the city of Eilat, located at the extreme southern tip of Israel on the Red Sea. A highly energy-intensive process, Mekorot looked for an alternative, energy-saving process, which it found in the reverse osmosis (RO) technology developed in the United States. In the early 1970s after the energy crisis of the Yom Kippur War, Mekorot began installing small-scale brackish water RO-desalination plants and, within the decade, established 15 desalination plants that supplied water to the Arava valley residents. Increasing demand and decreasing supply of freshwater in the coming years encouraged Mekorot to develop seawater desalination as an additional source, and the first plant (which desalinated a mixture of seawater and the reject brine from desalinated brackish water) commenced operation in 1997 in Eilat (Mekorot 2006). The motivation behind desalination of seawater in Israel stems from the fact that current demand and projected future demand cannot be met by natural freshwater sources alone – a disparity that results from population growth, overconsumption, misallocation, and pollution…
Nuclear desalination can be considered one of the most viable means of producing fresh water in arid areas. This publication addresses environmental concerns, and aims to improve understanding. It provides an overview of the nature and magnitude of the environmental impacts of nuclear desalination. In addition to detailing experimental data and the experience gained in operating nuclear desalination projects, it highlights risks perceived by the public. The publication encompasses environmental and socioeconomic information provided by specialized sources including some Member States with extensive experience in operating nuclear desalination systems. Addressing these concerns can be of critical importance for the effective use of nuclear desalination to its full potential….
The U.S. was among the first commercial adopters of nuclear energy in the 1950s, explaining the number of aging reactors today.A building boom between the 1960s and 1970s created today’s nuclear power plants in the United States. Of the five reactors completed in the 1990s and the one finished in 2016, all were holdovers of delayed construction projects from the 1970s experiencing roadblocks due to regulatory problems and mounting opposition to nuclear energy…
So despite nuclear energy being CO2 neutral and the southwest’s need for water, the USA has not approved new construction since the 1970s…. There is that critical 1970s decade again when everything changed.
Giving society cheap, abundant energy … would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.
Paul Ehrlich, “An Ecologist’s Perspective on Nuclear Power”, May/June 1978 issue of Federation of American Scientists Public Issue Report
Not only was the area in the USA/Canada/Russia/China moved south by 100 to 200 miles in the seventies, CO2 is very soluble in COLD WATER (van ‘t Hoff equation.) So as the earth cools CO2 gets sucked up by the oceans thereby lowering the amount of CO2 available for plants.
As ocean temperatures rise, the solubility of CO2 in seawater declines. Thus increasing ocean temperature moves CO2 from the ocean into the atmosphere, and decreasing ocean temperatures move CO2 out of the atmosphere and back into the ocean. As you can see in the graph below, a 10C shift in temperature causes about 30% reduction in dissolved CO2. Closely corresponding to what we see in the measured ice core graph above. — Tony Heller
Under stress seeds will not even start and the cut off is ~220 ppm CO2. The Climastrologists played games with the measurements of ice cores and came up with 150. AGAIN the chemistry is CO2 loves water so the air bubbles have less CO2 than the entire ice sample. Dr Zbigniew Jaworowski explains that dis-info campaign HERE.
Plant fossils obtained from sedimentary rocks and peat deposits are a relatively new tool being used to unravel Earth’s carbon dioxide (CO2) history. Tiny pores on plant leaves and needles called stomata regulate carbon dioxide absorption and water vapor release. Stomata numbers decrease during times of high atmospheric CO2, and increase when atmospheric CO2 is low….
The vast majority of land plants we rely on for human food and energy use the C3 pathway, which is the oldest of the pathways for carbon fixation, and it is found in plants of all taxonomies. Almost all extant nonhuman primates across all body sizes, including prosimians, new and old world monkeys, and all the apes—even those who live in regions with C4 and CAM plants—depend on C3 plants for sustenance….
The problem is the C3 pathway needs more water and CO2 than the C4 pathway and both were in short supply during the last Ice Age and are certainly not at optimum levels now as shown by the African desertification since the Holocene Optimum.
The Rancho La Brea tar pit fossil collection includes Juniperus (C3) wood specimens that 14C date between 7.7 and 55 thousand years (kyr) B.P., providing a constrained record of plant response for southern California during the last glacial period. Atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) ranged between 180 and 220 ppm during glacial periods, rose to 280 ppm before the industrial period, and is currently approaching 380 ppm in the modern atmosphere. Here we report on [delta]13C of Juniperus wood cellulose, and show that glacial and modern trees were operating at similar leaf- intercellular [CO2](ci)/atmospheric [CO2](ca) values. As a result, glacial trees were operating at ci values much closer to the CO2-compensation point for C3 photosynthesis than modern trees, indicating that glacial trees were undergoing carbon starvation. In addition, we modeled relative humidity by using [delta]18O of cellulose from the same Juniperus specimens and found that glacial humidity was 10% higher than that in modern times, indicating that differences in vapor-pressure deficits did not impose additional constrictions on ci/ca in the past. By scaling ancient ci values to plant growth by using modern relationships, we found evidence that C3 primary productivity was greatly diminished in southern California during the last glacial period.
“…glacial humidity was 10% higher than that in modern times…” as the below maps show. This may indicate why the Cabal wants California and the US Southwest cleared of those pesky ‘Deplorables.’
At the most extreme stage of the last glaciation, most of Canada and much of the northern USA were covered by an ice sheet thousands of metres in thickness. Colder and often drier than present conditions predominated across most of the USA. The eastern deciduous and conifer forests were replaced by more open conifer woodlands with cooler-climate species of pines and a large component of spruce. The open spruce woodland and parkland extended somewhat further west than present, into what is now the prairie zone. As a result of aridity and lowering of sea level (which lowered inland water tables), much of Florida was covered by drifting sand dunes. Notably moister than present conditions occurred across much of the south-west, with open conifer woodlands and scrub common in areas that are now semi-desert.
The decline of atmospheric CO2 over the last 65 million years (Ma) resulted in the ‘CO2-starvation’ of terrestrial ecosystems and led to the widespread distribution of C4 plants, which are less sensitive to CO2 levels than are C3 plants. Global expansion of C4 biomass is recorded in the diets of mammals from Asia, Africa, North America, and South America during the interval from about 8 to 5 Ma. This was accompanied by the most significant Cenozoic faunal turnover on each of these continents, indicating that ecological changes at this time were an important factor in mammalian extinction. Further expansion of tropical C4 biomass in Africa also occurred during the last glacial interval confirming the link between atmospheric CO2 levels and C4 biomass response. Changes in fauna and flora at the end of the Miocene, and between the last glacial and interglacial, have previously been attributed to changes in aridity; however, an alternative explanation for a global expansion of C4 biomass is CO2 starvation of C3 plants when atmospheric CO2 levels dropped below a threshold significant to C3 plants. Aridity may also have been a factor in the expansion of C4 ecosystems but one that was secondary to, and perhaps because of, gradually decreasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Mammalian evolution in the late Neogene, then, may be related to the CO2 starvation of C3 ecosystems.
Lower CO2 levels PLUS lower moisture with a COLD boot from glaciation did lead to the evolution of C4 and CAM plants which use a different but more energy expensive chemical pathway to conserve water.

C4 photosynthesis is a series of anatomical and biochemical modifications that concentrate CO2 around the carboxylating enzyme Rubisco, thereby increasing photo-synthetic efficiency in conditions promoting high rates of photo-respiration. The C4 pathway independently evolved over 45 times in 19 families of angiosperms, and thus represents one of the most convergent of evolutionary phenomena. Most origins of C4 photosynthesis occurred in the dicots, with at least 30 lineages. C4 photosynthesis first arose in grasses, probably during the Oligocene epoch (24–35 million yr ago). The earliest C4 dicots are likely members of the Chenopodiaceae dating back 15–21 million yr; however, most C4 dicot lineages are estimated to have appeared relatively recently, perhaps less than 5 million yr ago. C4 photosynthesis in the dicots originated in arid regions of low latitude, implicating combined effects of heat, drought and/or salinity as important conditions promoting C4 evolution. Low atmospheric CO2 is a significant contributing factor, because it is required for high rates of photorespiration. Consistently, the appearance of C4 plants in the evolutionary record coincides with periods of increasing global aridification and declining atmospheric CO2. Gene duplication followed by neo- and nonfunctionalization are the leading mechanisms for creating C4 genomes, with selection for carbon conservation traits under conditions promoting high photo respiration being the ultimate factor behind the origin of C4 photosynthesis.
Speaking of plants, while scientists will lie to keep the grant money coming, plants do not.
Gail, put this in your bookmarks…….they found the cut off was 220 ppm….not 200 I don’t know where people got the idea that it’s 150 and keep repeating that….220 stops them
What is interesting is ALL the archived versions of this June 2010 paper prior to September 28, 2019 have been scrubbed…
Side note on ‘disappearing’ info: Climate Alarmism Central actually does exist. It is part of the Aspen Global Change Institute. I will be getting into that mess in my next article.
…Such studies have shown that the average biomass production of modern C3 plants is reduced by c. 50% when grown at low (180–220 ppm) vs modern (350–380 ppm) [CO2], when other conditions are optimal (Sage & Coleman, 2001; Fig. 5). There is, however, variation in this response among C3 species (Fig. 5), as well as within C3 species, whereby reductions in biomass may vary by 40–70% among genotypes (Ward & Strain, 1997; Hovenden & Schimanski, 2000; Mohan et al., 2004). In addition, as [CO2] declines to 150 ppm, biomass production may be reduced by as much as 92%, as was observed in A. theophrasti (Dippery et al., 1995; Figs 2, 5)….
Notice the LIE by omission? They are talking BIOMASS and not how well the plants do from seed germination to producing the seeds for the next generation during a growing season.. Under stress the seeds will not even start to grow.
The biology of seeds can be divided in three important phases: development that includes zygotic embryogenesis, dormancy that prevents seeds from germinating under unfavorable conditions and germination (seed emergence). The transition between dormancy and germination represents a critical stage in the life cycle of higher plants and it is an important ecological and commercial trait. Seed germination is regulated by endogenous hormonal cues and external environmental signals such as water, low temperature and light, which influence whether an imbibed seed completes germination or remains dormant. Seed dormancy, a temporary quiescent state that is observed in seeds from many plants species, prevents untimely germination and ensures plant survival by adjusting vegetative development to seasonal changes in the environment. A dynamic balance between synthesis and catabolism of the abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GAs) controls the equilibrium between dormancy and germination. At the molecular level, the ABA/GA balance is in part determined by the antagonistic control of ABA and GA on each other through their reciprocal regulation of the transcription of their metabolic genes.
The ABA, derived from epoxycarotenoid cleavage, serves as a plant-specific signal during development and in response to environmental stresses such as cold, drought and high concentrations of salt in the soil. The ABA also elicits, among others numerous physiological functions, the closure of stomatal pores to restrict transpiration, adjustment of metabolism to tolerate desiccation and cold temperatures, and inhibition seedlings growth. Likewise, ABA represses germination and is presumed to function to stabilize the dormant state. ABA, like other hormones, functions through a complex network of signaling pathways where the cell response is initiated by ABA perception which triggers downstream signaling cascades to induce the final physiological effects….
Even C4 plants do better in higher CO2 atmospheres.
…In summary, it is clear that C4 plants do indeed respond positively to increases in the air’s CO2 concentration by exhibiting reduced stomatal conductances and transpirational water losses, which contribute to increases in water-use efficiency. Hence, knowledgeable researchers are suggesting that the long-held view that C4 plants will not be benefited by elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2 needs to be replaced with this more correct assessment (Wand et al., 1999; Zhu et al., 1999). Clearly, as the atmospheric CO2 concentration increases, most C4 plants will almost certainly display increases in water-use efficiency, which should allow them to better deal with conditions of water stress. Consequently, this phenomenon should allow plants of the future to expand their ranges into areas where they currently cannot survive due to limited soil moisture availability, thereby contributing to a great “greening of the globe.”
There is another more subtle aspect to the CO2 starvation level and that is the change in partial pressure as the elevation above sea level increases.
…. Carbon limitation due to lower ambient CO2 partial pressures had a significant impact on the distribution of forest on the tropical mountains, in addition to climate. Hence, tree line elevation should not be used to infer palaeotemperatures….
Estimates of glacial-interglacial climate change in tropical Africa have varied widely. Results from a process-based vegetation model show how montane vegetation in East Africa shifts with changes in both carbon dioxide concentration and climate. For the last glacial maximum, the change in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration alone could explain the observed replacement of tropical montane forest by a scrub biome. This result implies that estimates of the last glacial maximum tropical cooling based on tree- line shifts must be revised.”
…While [CO2] does not vary with elevation, CO2 partial pressure decreases in proportion to total atmospheric pressure. Under modern conditions, partial pressures of CO2 at high-elevation sites are 10–30% lower than at low-elevation sites, producing an even more conservative comparison between glacial and modern conditions….
That means if the CO2 level is around 210 ppm you can kiss trees and other C3 plants growing above sea level goodby and that is most of the earth.
…According to Barnola et al (1987) the level of CO2 in the global atmosphere during many tens of thousands of years spanning 30,000 to110,000 BP were below 200ppm. If this were true then the growth of C3 plants should be limited at the global scale because their net Photosynthesis is depressed as CO2 concentration in air decreases to less than about 250ubar (less than about 250ppmv)(McKay et al 1991) This would lead to the extinction of C3 plant species . This has however not been recorded by paleobotanists (Manum 1991).”

Again, plants do not lie but the scientists owned by the Cabal do.
Since I have mentioned Köppen several times and I remember this information but not who said it, I feel it only fair to post E.M. Smith’s (ChiefIO‘s) comment:
From “Ice Age” by John and Mary Gribbin (a wonderful read, gives the richness of the characters in the discovery of the ice ages, the history of the process, and a gentle introduction to some of the science involved.):
Pg.53: […]the single most important thing to emerge from these discussions was Koppen’s realization of the key season in the Ice Age saga. Adhemar and Croll had thought that the decisive factor in encouraging Ice to spread across the Northern Hemisphere must be the occurrence of extremely cold winters, resulting in increased snowfall. At first, Milankovitch had shared this view. But it was Koppen who pointed out that it is always cold enough for snow to fall in the Arctic winter, even today, and that the reason that the Northern Hemisphere is not in the grip of a full Ice Age is because the ‘extra’ snow melts away again in the summer.
[EMS: Note that the Southern Hemisphere is similarly irrelevant to the ice age cycle since it is always cold enough for snow to stay frozen. It just doesn’t change enough to matter.]
Pg 54: He reasoned that the way to encourage the ice to spread would be to have a reduction in summer warmth, because then less of the winter snowfall would melt. If less snow melted in summer than fell in winter, the ice sheets would grow – and once they had started to grow, the feedback effect of the way the ice and snow reflect away incoming solar energy would enhance the process.
Pg 57: It isn’t so much that Ice Ages occur when the astronomical influences conspire to produce particularly cool summers, rather what matters is that Interglacials only occur when the astronomical influences conspire to produce unusually warm summers, encouraging the ice to retreat. Without all three of the astronomical rhythms working in step this way, the Earth stays in a deep freeze.
End Quote.
So, to summarize:
1) The south pole doesn’t matter to the process, it’s always frozen.
2) We are normally in a long ice age and only pop out for short intervals when conditions are just right.
3) The ‘just right’ is Northern Hemisphere summers warm enough to melt the snow and ice.
4) Warm enough is when the N. hemisphere: must be pointed at the sun in summer when: at close approach to the sun with the right elliptical shape, with the pole tilted over far enough, with… or we freeze.
I would add a note that I think it is particularly illuminating that we are near the end of an Interglacial (next stop is an ice age), the only thing that keeps it away is the summer Arctic ice and snow melt. So what is the AGW crowd in histrionics about? That the Arctic ice and snow are not sticking through the summer… Think about….
Right now Earth is nearest the sun during northern winters, farthest from the sun during northern summers. If E.M. Smith’s theory is correct, we’re headed for another ice age in the near future. This shift is called the precession of the equinoxes and has a period of 26,000 years. In only 12,000 years the perihelion will be in July. The summer solstice, 21 June @ 65◦ N is what most scientist use for measuring the critical solar insolation.
“As of 2014 the Holocene is exactly 11,717 years old (based on the end of the Younger Dryas cold interval). Or pretty much about half a precession cycle.” — William McClenney
Now, in 2023 it is 11726 years and we just went through the warm bump before the dive into the cold….
Michaelh thought I should turn a recent comment into an article. LINK So I am going to buff up and expand that comment. As I said in my De-Population series, the years around 1970 were an inflection point, a pivotal time period in American history.
Please at least skim the other articles for the historic background surrounding this article. I have tried to show the point of view of the Cabal, and not the propaganda we are fed.
SETTING THE STAGE
The late 1960s and early 1970s saw a major period of cooling. In 1969, grain stores had decreased drastically and by 1972 had plummeted to crisis levels, that, according to the CIA, country leaders went to great pains to hide. In 1970, Broecker, using new radioactive decay dating methods (oxygen isotopes) identified and dated five full ice age cycles. He stated his work was in agreement with the 1911 Milankovitch cycles. (Hays and Shackleton expanded on this, publishing in 1972.) Kukla and Matthews alerted President Richard Nixon that the Holocene could be ending (12/03/72.) Kukla STILL asserts all Ice Ages start with a period of global warming. They’re the harbingers of new Ice Ages. (That warming has now ended.)
*In 1974 a CIA report warned ”…there is considerable evidence that these empires may not have been undone by barbarian invaders but by climatic change…. has tied several of these declines to specific global cool periods, major and minor…” To the Cabal that was a serious OH! SCHIFF! However this crisis could be used to scare world leaders into falling in line with the Cabal’s plans for population control and a world government, and that is exactly what happened.
DEPOPULATION SERIES:
This explains WHY the cabal may think the Holocene is ending and they are running out of time.
THE ATTACK ON THE FOOD SUPPLY SERIES AND OTHER ARTICLES: PAGE 1 and PAGE 2 and PAGE 3.
THE 1970S SHORT HISTORY:
If we go back in time to the 1970 inflection point, we can see that the plans were already being put in place to ‘De-industrialize’ the USA. By 1970, thanks to the stimulus from WWII, US manufacturing was really humming, while Europe was still recovering from WWII and Russia and China were suffering mis-management under Communism. In 1970 the percent of the workforce employed in manufacturing was 26.4% In 2013, it was about8.8 %at which point the government quit keeping track. In 2013 the USA had close to ~23% unemployment rate and that goes for the entire eight years prior to that date. In spite of the government numbers, GDP in 2013 had actually been below zero according to ShadowStat. By the time of Obama, the USA had become a ‘Service Economy’ selling cheap Chinese crud to each other. The only reason we did not have soup lines is because of the invention of EBT cards, the FED printing money and the 2 trillion dollar underground economy.
If you have read the earlier articles you will see Nixon was a critical figure when it came to implementing the Cabal’s depopulation plans here in the US. He also played a major roll in ‘de-industrializing’ the USA. Nixon is the president who gave us the EPA (December 4, 1970.), OSHA, (December 29, 1970) opened the US market up to strengthen Mao’s Communist China (1971-72), and closed the gold window (August 1971) since foreign banks had stripped all the ‘good deliverable gold’ from Fort Knox. This lead to massive devaluation of the dollar, followed by the OPEC cartel hiking the price of oil. Remember ARAMCO was a Saudi-Rockefeller enterprise “..There was a phony “nationalization” of Aramco in the 1970s… the Saudi government took over Aramco, formally, but then immediately turned around and granted the Aramco-Rockefeller consortium the exclusive contract to “manage” the operation…”LINK Any bets the Rockefellers were behind OPEC?
However it was Reagan’s Administration, the Era of the Hostile Takeovers aka Leverage buyouts, that really gutted the core of the USA. — Our Manufacturing.
Before I get into the moves President Reagan made, I am going to look at what happened before Reagan made his moves and then the comment that prompted this article.
ROCKEFELLER:
John D Rockefeller — New York Daily News
Rockefeller insider, Dr. Richard Day (1905-1989)
On March 20, 1969, Dr. Richard Day, the National Medical Director of the Rockefeller-sponsored “Planned Parenthood” told a meeting of the Pittsburgh Pediatric Society that the US will be de-industrialized..
3 A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system (especially patterns of consumption) into line with the realities of ecology and the global resource situation. Resources and energy must be diverted from frivolous and wasteful uses in overdeveloped countries to filling the genuine needs of underdeveloped countries. This effort must be largely political, especially with regard to our overexploitation of world resources, but the campaign should be strongly supplemented by legal and boycott action against polluters and others whose activities damage the environment. The need for de–development presents our economists with a major challenge. They must design a stable, low–consumption economy in which there is a much more equitable distribution of wealth than in the present one. Redistribution of wealth both within and among nations is absolutely essential, if a decent life is to be provided for every human being..
THE FEDERALIST SOCIETY:
A comment on the Q-tree by Phoenixrising added this important piece to the puzzle.
…This reform will change the nature of Israel completely. It is openly supported by two think tanks, the Kohelet Policy Forum and the Law and Liberty Forum. The latter is inspired by one of the groups that make up the Federalist Society in the United States; the association that secretly drafted the USA Patriot Act and imposed it on the occasion of the September 11 attacks [1]. The Law and Liberty Forum is funded by the Tikvah Fund, which is chaired by the US-Israeli neo-conservative Elliott Abrams (known for his role in the Iran-Contra affair and in numerous coups in Latin America) [2].
…The Federalist Society and the Law and Liberty Forum’s strategy is to change jurisprudence by changing judges [3]. Over a period of 30 years, the Federalist Society has succeeded in legally justifying neo-liberalism, limiting the possibilities of recourse against big business, deconstructing the way in which the Democratic Party had imagined the fight against discrimination and for the right to abortion, preventing the USA from joining a number of international treaties and, finally, transforming the balance of power in the USA so that the president can wage whatever wars he wants and practice torture.
The originality of the Federalist Society’s approach was to reinterpret the principles of Anglo-Saxon law. Drawing on the writings of the philosopher Leo Strauss, it substituted “natural law” for “positive law. For example, during the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan wanted to deregulate the economy, but he was constrained by law and could not. A Federalist Society theorist, Professor Richard Epstein, argued that property was not a matter of positive law, i.e., conventions drawn up by legislators, but of natural law, i.e., that it was instituted by God. Now, any regulation of an economic activity consists in limiting the way in which certain owners behave. Therefore, any regulation is an expropriation that requires compensation.
Thus, if a law, in the interest of the community, requires industrialists to produce only products of a certain quality, it limits their property rights, and they must therefore be compensated. This interpretation of the law allowed President Ronald Reagan to deconstruct all pre-existing economic regulations…
[4] Proceedings of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy Symposium : American Exceptionalism and Human Rights, Michael Ignatieff, Princeton University Press (2005).
The references in the above article on the Federalist Society led to this article:
When reading this article remember the Cabal’s use of ‘Women’s Rights’ (the right to work, have access to birth control and have abortions) as just a means of population control to them. It is mentioned in NSSM-200 — the 1974 Kissinger report.
Defining Exceptionalism:
Since 1945 America has displayed exceptional leadership in promoting international human rights. At the same time, however, it has also resisted complying with human rights standards at home or aligning its foreign policy with these standards abroad. Under some administrations, it has promoted human rights as if they were synonymous with American values, while under others, it has emphasized the superiority of American values over international standards….
Thanks to Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, the United States took a leading role in the creation of the United Nations and the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.[1] Throughout the Cold War and afterward, few nations placed more emphasis in their foreign policy on the promotion of human rights, market freedom, and political democracy. Since the 1970s U.S. legislation has tied foreign aid to progress in human rights; the State Department annually assesses the human rights records of governments around the world. Outside government, the United States can boast some of the most effective and influential human rights organizations in the world. These promote religious freedom, gender equality, democratic rights, and the abolition of slavery; they monitor human rights performance by governments, including—and especially—the U.S. government. U.S. government action, together with global activism by U.S. NGOs, has put Americans in the forefront of attempts to improve women’s rights, defend religious liberty, improve access to AIDS drugs, [a major POISON developed by Fauci according to Dr Judy Mikovits -G.C.] spread democracy and freedom through the Arab and Muslim worlds, and oppose tyrants from Slobodan Milošević to Saddam Hussein….
The legal left has a money problem, a history problem and—maybe worst of all—a big-idea problem.
…What’s going on? One explanation is historical: The Federalist Society is simply older, with deeper roots. Those trace back some years before its founding, to a 1971 memo written by Lewis Powell, shortly before his nomination to the Supreme Court, in which he argued that the “𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸”—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀, 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹. The Powell Manifesto, as it came to be known, foreshadowed the development of today’s roster of powerful conservative think tanks—the Heritage Foundation, the Manhattan and Cato Institutes, and the Federalist Society…
Note the differences in the explanation of the origin of the Federalist Society. Melding the two you have Industrialists like the Rockefellers (remember their link to Chicago University via John Dewey) LOOKING for groups they can use. John D. was KNOWN for hiding his moves behind surrogates.
THE ORIGIN OF NGOs:
Rockefeller’s man, Maurice Strong, was Chair of the First Earth Summit in 1972. He started the CAGW movement. Strong is the guy who said “…current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class…are not sustainable. A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmentally damaging consumption patterns….” in his opening remarks at Earth Summit II in 1992. Strong’s web site in google states: “Maurice Strong globalized the environmental movement.”
In brief Maurice Strong worked in Saudi Arabia for a Rockefeller company, Caltex, in 1953. He left Caltex in 1954 to worked at high levels in banking and oil. By 1971, he served as a trustee for the Rockefeller Foundation, and in 1972 was Secretary-General of the U.N. Conference on the Human Environment. He was Co-founder of the WWF and Senior Advisor to the World Bank, the UN AND the World Economic Forum.
Strong’s early work with YMCA international “…may have been the genesis of Strong’s realization that NGOs (non-government organizations) provide an excellent way to use NGOs to couple the money from philanthropists and business with the objectives of government.” LINK
“Very few of even the larger international NGOs are operationally democratic, in the sense that members elect officers or direct policy on particular issues,” notes Peter Spiro. “Arguably it is more often money than membership that determines influence, and money more often represents the support of centralized elites, such as major foundations, than of the grass roots.” The CGG [Commission on Global Governance] has benefited substantially from the largesse of the MacArthur, Carnegie, and Ford Foundations…. LINK
NGOs USED to REPLACE VOTERS in USA
By Presidential Executive Order the USA was divided into ten regions. These regions are governed by an unholy mix of unelected government bureaucrats and NGOs. The regions were set up by President Nixon but the implementation of the “regional governance concept began in earnest with the Clinton-Gore administration. “On the heels of the President’s Council on Sustainable Development , came the President’s Community Empowerment Board, chaired by Vice President Al Gore,” – LINKThese quasi-governmental regional authorities are slowly transforming the US from representative government to government by United Nations and foundation sponsored and directed NGOs and appointed bureaucrats.
PRESIDENT REAGAN:
Well that certainly explains why Reagan did not use the anti-monopoly laws on the books to prevent the Transnational Corporations from a massive take over of American owned mid-sized corporations. It also explains why our ‘Conservative’ Judges did nothing to stop him.
In the 1980s, the Reagan Administration drastically altered American antitrust policy, virtually eliminating Section 2 cases involving monopolies. This chapter provides a context for that decision by tracing the efforts that the federal government made since 1890 to reconcile an opposition to highly concentrated economic power with the even stronger enthusiasm Americans have always had for the economic success they associated with the nation’s largest enterprises. In this setting, judges and government lawyers struggled over the years to come up with a clear concept of monopoly. In the global economy of the late 20th century, the Reagan policy innovation solved that problem and proved to be timely and significant. The new policy allowed American firms to get up to global scale, either through strategic alliances or through mergers that would not have been allowed under previous administrations.
..In January 1982, former US Secretary of the Treasury William Simon and a group of investors acquired Gibson Greetings, a producer of greeting cards, for $80 million, of which only $1 million was rumored to have been contributed by the investors. By mid-1983, just sixteen months after the original deal, Gibson completed a $290 million IPO and Simon made approximately $66 million.[9]
The success of the Gibson Greetings investment attracted the attention of the wider media to the nascent boom in leveraged buyouts.[10] Between 1979 and 1989, it was estimated that there were over 2,000 leveraged buyouts valued in excess of $250 billion…..
US Secretary of the Treasury started the sellout of our economy. Reagan through his laissez faire attitude did nothing to stop it. Now I finally understand WHY.
…Both economic and regulatory factors combined to spur the explosion in large takeovers and, in turn, large LBOs. The three regulatory factors were the Reagan administration’s relatively laissez-faire policies on antitrust and securities laws, which allowed mergers the government would have challenged in earlier years;
the 1982 Supreme Court decision striking down state antitakeover laws (which were resurrected with great effectiveness in the late eighties); and deregulation of many industries, which prompted restructurings and mergers. The main economic factor was the development of the original-issue high-yield debt instrument. The so-called “junk bond” innovation, pioneered by Michael Milken of Drexel Burnham, provided many hostile bidders and LBO firms with the enormous amounts of capital needed to finance multi-billion-dollar deals….
Without intervention by the government or courts, greed took over.
Corporate takeovers became a prominent feature of the American business landscape during the seventies and eighties. A hostile takeover usually involves a public tender offer—a public offer of a specific price, usually at a substantial premium over the prevailing market price, good for a limited period, for a substantial percentage of the target firm’s stock. Unlike a merger, which requires the approval of the target firm’s board of directors as well as voting approval of the stockholders, a tender offer can provide voting control to the bidding firm without the approval of the target’s management and directors…..
Because it allows bidders to seek control directly from shareholders—by going “over the heads” of target management—the tender offer is the most powerful weapon available to the hostile bidder. … Although hostile bidders still need a formal merger to gain total control of the target’s assets, this is easily accomplished once the bidder has purchased a majority of voting stock.
Hostile tender offers have been around for decades, but they were rare and generally involved small target firms until the midseventies. Then came the highly controversial multibillion-dollar hostile takeovers of very recognizable public companies. By the late eighties there were dozens of multi-billion-dollar takeovers and their cousins, leveraged buyouts (LBOs). The largest acquisition ever was the $25 billion buyout of RJR Nabisco by Kolberg Kravis and Roberts in 1989. [Editor’s note: this was written in 1992.] ….
This is the result of the 1980’s leveraged buyout feeding frenzy.
….Of mergers and acquisitions each costing $1 million or more, there were just 10 in 1970; in 1980, there were 94; in 1986, there were 346. A third of such deals in the 1980’s were hostile. The 1980’s also saw a wave of giant leveraged buyouts. Mergers, acquisitions and L.B.O.’s, which had accounted for less than 5 percent of the profits of Wall Street brokerage houses in 1978, ballooned into an estimated 50 percent of profits by 1988…
THROUGH ALL THIS, THE HISTORIC RELATIONSHIP between product and paper has been turned upside down. Investment bankers no longer think of themselves as working for the corporations with which they do business. These days, corporations seem to exist for the investment bankers…. In fact, investment banks are replacing the publicly held industrial corporations as the largest and most powerful economic institutions in America….
THERE ARE SIGNS THAT A VICIOUS spiral has begun, as each corporate player seeks to improve its standard of living at the expense of another’s.
Corporate raiders transfer to themselves, and other shareholders, part of the income of employees by forcing the latter to agree to lower wages….
America has been quietly sold off piece by piece. This is a sampling of the industries with over 50% foreign ownership, according to Source Watch over two decades ago (2002.0
— Sound recording industries – 97% — Commodity contracts dealing and brokerage – 79% — Motion picture and sound recording industries – 75% — Metal ore mining – 65% — Wineries and distilleries – 64% — Database, directory, Book and other publishers – 63% — Cement, concrete, lime, and gypsum product – 62% — Engine, turbine and power transmission equipment – 57% — Rubber product – 53% — Nonmetallic mineral product manufacturing – 53% — Plastics and rubber products manufacturing – 52% * Other insurance related activities – 51% — Boiler, tank, and shipping container – 50% — Glass and glass product – 48% — Coal mining – 48%
A real eye opener isn’t it. But it gets worse. “…The Department of Homeland Security says 80% of our ports are operated by Foreigners and they are buying and running US bridges and toll roads…” http://www.alabamaeagle.org/issues.asp?action=form&formID=2105&recordID=131006 (Funny how that info has now been completely scrubbed from the internet including the Wayback Machine…)
…Foreign ownership of U.S. assets amounted to 33% of U.S. GDP in 1990. Today it is valued at over 70% of U.S. GDP. Foreigners own $2 trillion (19% of U.S. GDP) more in U.S. assets that the U.S. holds of theirs. Foreign ownership of the U.S. Treasury market is over 30%, over 23% of the corporate bond market, and 13% of the U.S. equity market. (Statistics courtesy of Bridgewater, Dec 13, 2002.)
The fate of the dollar now boils down to a question of confidence. But not the confidence of its own citizens, but of foreigners. Their holdings are now such a large percentage of the total that, if confidence in the U.S. falters and foreigners become sellers, there is grave risk to U.S. financial markets….
…we find that only 737 top holders accumulate 80% of the control over the value of all TNCs [Trans National Corporations] …This means that network control is much more unequally distributed than wealth. In particular, the top ranked actors hold a control ten times bigger than what could be expected based on their wealth…
…In detail, nearly 4/10 of the control over the economic value of TNCs in the world is held, via a complicated web of ownership relations, by a group of 147 TNCs in the core, which has almost full control over itself. The top holders within the core can thus be thought of as an economic “super-entity” in the global network of corporations. A relevant additional fact at this point is that 3/4 of the core are financial intermediaries….
There may be 147 companies in the world that own everything, as colleague Bruce Upbin points out and they are dominated by investment companies as Eric Savitz rightly points out. But it’s not you and I who really control those companies, even though much of our money is in them. Given the nature of how money is invested, there are four companies in the shadows that 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 control those companies that own everything.
Before I reveal them, some light math:
According to the 2011 annual factbook from the Investment Company Institute, there is $24.7 trillion in all the mutual funds in the world (a little less than half from the US). Based on data from the ICI, $1.24 trillion of this is directly invested in index funds, plus another $992 billion in assets beyond that $24.7 trillion in Exchange Traded Funds, which aren’t mutual funds but are index funds. That means the bulk of that money is in “active” managed funds or fund of funds….
...the chief of hedge funds at a very large asset manager told me last week (alas, I cannot identify either) that an internal study his firm recently performed found that the vast majority of mutual funds defined as actively managed see 95% of the assets they hold determined by an index. That means just 5% of actively managed funds really are driven by the active manager’s judgment.…
So of the $25.69 trillion in worldwide assets we’ve identified, $2.23 trillion are directly in indexes (ETFs and index mutual funds) with another $22.3 trillion indirectly beholden to indexes (that 95% of actively managed fund holdings said to be determined by an index).
You can see where I’m headed here. That means the real power to control the world lies with four companies: McGraw-Hill, which owns Standard & Poor’s, Northwestern Mutual, which owns Russell Investments, the index arm of which runs the benchmark Russell 1,000 and Russell 3,000, CME Group which owns 90% of Dow Jones Indexes, and Barclay’s, which took over Lehman Brothers and its Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, the dominant world bond fund index. Together, these four firms dominate the world of indexing. And in turn, that means they hold real sway over the world’s money….
Just to be clear, if you invest in a mutual fund you are buying shares in the mutual fund (that you cannot vote) and theMutual Fundthen uses YOUR money to buy stock shares which it owns and controls. This allows much more consolidation of control. For example Edward C Johnson 3rd, chairman of the Fidelity Group voted the stock in Monsanto owned by several pension and mutual funds like FMR LLC, FIDELITY MAGELLAN FUND INC, FIDELITY GROWTH COMPANY FUND, and Pyramid Global Advisors. The Vanguard Group, aka John C. Bogle, owned another healthy chunk of Monsanto. In this way even more power is concentrated in the hands of a few. This explains the point made in the paper, Network of Global Corporate Control, that the amount of power is greater than the amount of wealth can account for.
So facts like “85% of Monsanto is held by mutual funds and Institutional (financial) Holders” while true in that the money originated from pensioners and other little people does not tell the whole story. Yet it is trumpeted by those who want to confuse those trying to follow the money and power trails and misdirect us into thinking the stock is held and voted by pensioners — a complete and utter falsehood.
Aug 15, 2022 Thanks to the surging popularity of its index funds, Vanguard is now the No. 1 owner of 330 stocks in the S&P 500, or two-thirds of the world’s most important collection of stocks, says an Investor’s Business Daily analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSmith. No other investor comes remotely close. BlackRock (BLK) is a remote second-top owner, ranking as the No. 1 investor in just 38 S&P 500 companies.
Not only does the Cabal use our saving and pensions to gain control over corporations, they also shifted the tax burden to the middle class. At the same time that corporate taxes and tariffs on imported good (excise) have gone down, taxes on personal income aka WAGES has gone up. ‘Tax the wealthy’ is a real joke because the wealthy ARE NOT PAID WAGES.

Ask yourself a simple question. Why should the very first examples of mRNA vaccines for humans violate the most important safety standard of the mRNA platform? Why would the vaccines do exactly what they PROMISED US the vaccines would not do?
TL;DR –
They didn’t just lie to us about the spike mRNA not going into the nucleus and not changing human DNA – the whole purpose was very likely to do exactly what they did – to open the cell nucleus and keep it open, so that we as a species can start changing population genomics in a huge way, using a variety of technologies.
The central dogma of molecular biology. They shilled the blue arrows to the masses as lies about safety, while hiding the special red arrow and actually working to open it up for business.
Show-Time (Introduction)
I have finally realized that I need to spell out, in as many ways as needed, what is really going on with SARS-CoV-2 and these derived mRNA vaccines.
I had hoped that people would see the implications of the science which is now open to us, with the publication of first the Jaenish paper, then the De Marinis paper, and finally the Mehedi paper. I have commented extensively on each one of these papers, including very recently on the Mehedi paper, which really makes things obvious. I had thought that somebody more notable than me would try to make the point I am about to make. Sadly, nobody has, so it looks like I’m going to have to do it.
These vaccines are designed to BEGIN to change us on a fundamental level which is not exactly the same as the “transhumanism” that constitutes most of the “clickbait” against the vaccines. It’s similar, but it’s not the same. What we see in the clickbait is a distraction from the actual danger, which is not strange and distant and unbelievable, but is in fact right here, and right now, and very believable, once you understand it.
The truth is a lot more like GATTACA, and a lot less like Transcendence.
It’s already starting, and the infrastructure is being set up. The first step has actually been accomplished, and it was in many ways a HUGE success.
Humans ARE being engineered right in front of our eyes. I hope that you can see this point by the end of this article.
They (meaning WEF and its backers) hacked the human cell nucleus on a population genome level. They created a “Trojan” virus that appears to have “zero-dayed” the human cell nucleus. Artfully, the hack is a lot like state-level “APT” (advanced persistent threat) computer hacks, in that it gets in and holds the door open. Of course, better models can be created, but the self-replicating crowbar for the cell nucleus has obviously arrived, and its imperial version of SPQR is PRRARSV.
THAT is the fundamental advance that was achieved here.
I have to say, it was ingenious and “admirable”, in several senses – scientific, military, and criminal. Of course, your mileage may vary on “admirable”. Many will consider it “diabolical”.
What we are facing is the immediate REAL danger of biological engineering and eugenics, which was employed in a fantasy way, as a technical MacGuffin, in various episodes and productions in the Star Trek universe.
This is a scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. These two people are “superhumans” who (according to the story) proved to be disastrous for Earth, during our current century (more or less). The one on the right is “Khan” – obviously in homage to Genghis Khan and his relatives, who ruled much of Asia for centuries.
Don’t get lost in the fantasy stuff. THAT is not the big danger. Stick around for an explanation of the reality which is actually upon us.
Here is how Wikipedia describes Khan, but more importantly, where he CAME FROM.
Khan had controlled more than a quarter of the Earth during the Eugenics Wars of the 1990s.[1] After being revived from suspended animation in 2267 by the crew of the Starship Enterprise, Khan attempts to capture the starship but is thwarted by James T. Kirk and exiled to Ceti Alpha V, where he has the chance to create a new society with his people. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, set fifteen years after “Space Seed”, Khan escapes his exile and sets out to exact revenge upon Kirk.
In Star Trek Into Darkness, set in the alternate continuity established in Star Trek (2009), Khan is awakened almost a decade before the events of “Space Seed“. Khan is given the false identity John Harrison and coerced by Admiral Marcus into building weapons for Section 31 and Starfleet in exchange for the lives of Khan’s crew. He ultimately rebels and comes into conflict with the crew of Enterprise.
OK – so what are the “Eugenics Wars”?
Back to Wikipedia…..
When the original series of Star Trek was produced, the 1990s were several decades away, and so various elements of the backstory to Star Trek are set in that era, particularly the Eugenics Wars. The references to the Eugenics Wars and to a nuclear war in the 21st century are somewhat contradictory.
The episode “Space Seed” establishes the Eugenics Wars, and has them lasting from 1992 to 1996. The Eugenics Wars are described as a global conflict in which the progeny of a human genetic engineering project, most notably Khan Noonien Singh, established themselves as supermen and attempted world domination. Spock calls them “the last of your so-called World Wars”, and McCoy identifies this with the Eugenics Wars.
OK – don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying it’s EXACTLY like Star Trek, although I do subscribe to the folk notion that Star Trek is a VERY good predictor of things that are likely to happen.
What I AM saying is that genetic engineering of humanity has already started, and now I’m going to explain why this is so.
We will take a brief tour into the PAST, before we return to the future. If a light bulb comes on, keep it lit!
You cannot uninvent the genetic Tommy-gun, nor the gun moll who knows how to code.
Bonnie & Clyde of the Nucleus
BANKS make a really great analogy of the cell nucleus.
they’re common and everywhere
they contain valuable stuff that needs to be protected yet dispersed
they have high security
things need to traffic securely in and out of them
Breaking into a bank with very high security is a lot like what the spike protein does. But the spike protein doesn’t do it alone. THAT is an important point from the three papers I keep mentioning. The spike protein has a PARTNER who has all the plans.
OK – just for the record – this is going to deviate a little bit from the ACTUAL story of Bonnie and Clyde. Just warning you – it will get weird.
The spike protein and the spike protein mRNA are a PAIR, and together, they are able to not only break into the bank, but to totally take it over, and keep it taken over. And then to take over more banks.
Here is how it works.
The spike protein is Clyde. He’s got a gun, and he causes all kinds of trouble with it. He’s the “action” guy. He knows how to break into banks, mostly because he has a phony ID that always gets him in. The phony ID says PRRARSV in big letters on it, which makes all the bank guards at Cell Nucleus Bank and Trust say “Why, welcome, Mr. Barrow! We’re pleased to see you at the bank today! Come right on in!”
Or, to use a different analogy…..
These bank guards are such chumps, but it works every time.
Well, here is the problem for the bank. When Clyde goes in, he always brings his partner Bonnie. And SHE is trouble. She’s not so good with a gun or a fake ID, but she is a real scam artist, who knows how to get into the bank and embezzle the hell out of it.
Bonnie gets into the cell nucleus bank, and with some help from Clyde, she gets a permanent job there. Bonnie and Clyde are set for life. None of this “grab the cash, run out, get caught, and die in a hail of bullets” shit. No sir! THIS Bonnie and Clyde are smart.
Bonnie trains many of the new girls at the bank – and like the pod people in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”, she turns every last one of them into exact copies of HERSELF. NASTY! So all these fresh Bonnies are trained by the bank and sent out to get into new banks.
But wait! Bonnie can’t get into banks. Bonnie doesn’t have a gun or a fake ID! How can she get into more banks?
Easy! Bonnie and all her Bonnie clones have the power of multiplication – not just to make more copies of each one herself, but to make more Clydes. Bonnie makes more copies of herself while she’s IN the bank, and she makes copies of Clyde while she’s OUT of the bank.
So every Bonnie that leaves the bank, creates hundreds of new Clydes on the outside. The next time Bonnie wanders near a bank, there are bound to be dozens of Clydes just hanging around, ready to escort her, and maybe even other gals[important], into the bank. If no Bonnie is already working there, she gets a job, and the process starts over.
The KEY POINT is that BONNIE makes the CLYDES who can get her, or women like her, into the next bank.
Bonnie can’t get into the bank, and Clyde can’t get a job in the bank, but together, they can make a living by embezzling banks.
Side Note: This is a beautiful example of a contradiction in the Marxist sense. Proteins and nucleic acids can’t do certain things alone, and thus NEED EACH OTHER.
Once Bonnie is on the payroll, this fact introduces a permanent security problem in the bank, and for all other banks.
And why is that?
Once Bonnie is on the payroll, you can’t get rid of her.
She will just create more Bonnies and more Clydes, and they will scam more banks.
In terms of banks, banks can resist just Clyde or just Bonnie, but they can’t resist the pair.
In terms of the cell nucleus, it can resist the spike protein or the spike mRNA, but it cannot resist both of them together.
Which pair, oddly, is exactly what the vaccines create.
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?
We can use other analogies, using banks, which emphasize the spike protein more.
Imagine a bank that was convinced to crank out KEYS TO THE BANK, and to send out these keys. Imagine thousands of keys to the bank being sent out by the bank into the community, perhaps in a really stupid PR stunt.
God knows WHO is going to get into the bank now.
God knows WHAT is going to get into the genome now.
Are you starting to see what they did?
Fact Checking the Fact Checkers on DNA Change
The absolute best way for me to convince you that they really said these vaccines could not do what they are now proven to be doing, is to simply play back the words of the “fact checkers”.
See if you can spot how many LIES are told in this video.
If you’re not spotting the lies, read THIS ARTICLE.
AND – by the way – this video is a GREAT explanation of the way things NORMALLY work. It’s totally out to lunch on the way things ACTUALLY work.
Did you spot the lies? Tell me what you found in the comments.
There are also hundreds if not thousands of articles of a similar nature. I’m just going to pick one of them – the one that happened to have the graphic I used above. That article is dated from MARCH of 2021 – right when the authorities were hard-selling the “vaccines”.
mRNA Covid-19 vaccines: Facts vs Fiction
MARCH 10, 2021
By: Maria Elisa Almeida Goes Editing: Offspring Magazine Editorial Team Images: Nina Lautenschläger.
Interestingly, this archive was made only 5 months ago. It was very likely archived by Wikipedia or somebody else who is shilling the false explanation, when faced with the emerging science showing nuclear translocation and genomic incorporation. But it’s perfect for me to preserve evidence.
As an aside, I find it terribly sad that this particular lover of “Max Planck” era scientific history, lived to see one of Planck’s namesake organizations lying about science on a grand scale, but yet here we are.
Let me just pull out the most relevant section. I was planning on highlighting ALL of the lies, fibs, evasions, etc., but there are so many, I decided to only highlight or [comment on] the most horrible and ironic.
mRNA vaccines will not alter your DNA, this is why:
Concerns about the effects mRNA vaccines over the integrity of our DNA also exist. Thankfully, you do not need to worry about this. Such an event would challenge everything scientists know about basic cell biology, and is so improbable, that one can actually call it impossible.
The main reason for that is that, besides being chemically and structurally different from DNA, mRNA is located in a different cellular compartment. While DNA is enclosed in the nucleus, mRNA is produced in the nucleus, but is quickly exported to the cytoplasm with a one-way ticket: it does not come back. In fact, only specific proteins carrying “nuclear localization signals” are able to migrate from the cytoplasm into the nucleus, and mRNA vaccines definitely do not include such molecular instruction.Thus, because mRNA cannot spontaneously be trafficked to the nucleus, it cannot modify your DNA sequence. Additionally, the RNA molecule is charged and carries the same charge as the nucleus, so as our 6th grade physics taught us, like charges repel, and hence the RNA molecule is physically repelled by the nucleus. [Note added by Wolf – WHAT THE HELL???]
One might also argue [HA! You TOADS! Yes, one “might”!] that there are mechanisms through which RNA can be integrated into the genome – HIV viruses being the classic example. The key differences here are that such viruses (1) express special enzymes which are able to code DNA back into RNA and (2) can associate with proteins that can traffic them into the nucleus. Neither scenario is applicable to the mRNA vaccines. [OH, THE IRONY]
For the same reasons, mRNA vaccines cannot affect your unborn children. This would require genomic mutations [oh, really!] in the reproductive cells – sperm and egg – since only these could potentially be transmitted to the next generation. [AND???!!!]
Speaking of children, you might have heard that Covid-19 vaccines would cause infertility in women [why don’t you just stop there, and not go on to one bad hypothesis?] because antibodies against the spike protein could mistakenly attack placenta cells, due to an alleged similarity with a placental protein called syncytin-1. There is no scientific evidence supporting this claim – and, in fact, the two proteins are barely similar, sharing only 4 sequential amino acids out of 538. [This did seem to be a bit of a miss. Nevertheless, what new hypothesis explains all the pregnancy problems?]
Still, you might want to ask why pregnant women are excluded from the vaccination campaigns [wait a minute….not in the US], and why, during clinical trials, women are asked to use contraceptive methods that will avoid pregnancy [because there might be a problem?]. Again, this is not a red flag. Any clinical trial for a potential vaccine or drug will exclude children, pregnant women, old people and people with specific underlying conditions. Initially, trials are designed to obtain major insights whether the developed pharmaceutical product works at all, in healthy adults. Once safety and efficacy are determined [read what you just said before that, where you excluded safety as a motive], tests are expanded to smaller groups that at first were set aside. Excluding pregnant women from trials only shows that trials are being done systematically and following standard protocols. [I’m sorry, but this sounds like happy horseshit, lady.]
Let’s concentrate on the lies most relevant to this discussion. I’ll isolate them and respond to each one.
In fact, only specific proteins carrying “nuclear localization signals” are able to migrate from the cytoplasm into the nucleus, and mRNA vaccines definitely do not include such molecular instruction.
This is EXACTLY what was found with the spike protein that was produced by the full spike mRNA. What a coincidence! See De Marinis for proof that it happens, and Mehedi for WHY. OH – because there’s a nuclear location signal! Was it a “known” one, and if so, who knew it and who didn’t? If some people knew, and others didn’t, wouldn’t that make it like a “zero day” on the nucleus?
Thus, because mRNA cannot spontaneously be trafficked to the nucleus, it cannot modify your DNA sequence.
OH! But isn’t that SO STRANGE that the Mehedi work shows that the spike protein LITERALLY “traffics” the spike protein mRNA into the nucleus? WELL AHHHHH’LLLLL BE! So maybe this explains the nuclear DNA modification that is seen in the De Marinis results. Yes? Maybe? Come on, girl – you’re a scientist at a prestigious institute. Put on your big girl pants and hypothesize with me! You can do it! This is undergraduate, “smart-alec guy in the back of introductory class raises his hand” stuff! And when you were in that class, you thought the same sorts of things but didn’t raise your hand. Maybe it’s time to be brave!
One might also argue that there are mechanisms through which RNA can be integrated into the genome – HIV viruses being the classic example.
This should have been your really big hint, girl. Our local accountant named cthulhu realized that Fauci’s HIV interests and his bat virus interests had remarkable similarities, both in what he himself did, and in what he was studying. “This isn’t Fauci’s first rodeo.” Ask yourself – why was Fauci interested in this? Could it have been the same reason that Doudna was so interested in CRISPR-Cas9? The desire for WRITE PERMISSIONS on the genome?
The key differences here are that such viruses (1) express special enzymes which are able to code DNA back into RNA and (2) can associate with proteins that can traffic them into the nucleus. Neither scenario is applicable to the mRNA vaccines.
Thank you, my lying lady. You have just provided me with a huge clue, by the process of “liar subtraction” – a form of deductive reasoning. We know from De Marinis that genomic incorporation and modification is a fact. We know from Mehedi that “nuclear trafficking” (your point 2) is a fact. This means that it is almost certain that the spike protein ALSO acts as a promoter of reverse transcription (your point 1). You said it – not me. That sure seems convenient, doesn’t it? My question is now – DID YOU KNOW THIS? Were you part of the plot? Or was the person who reminded you of these things part of the plot? Or were we all part of the plot, when I, too, mindlessly parroted the “central dogma” as a defense of mRNA vaccines?
I’m willing to confess that I was wrong. I will admit to my part in promoting the conspiracy. Will you?
But their defenses get worse.
There are now MSM “fact checks” which specifically try to walk back the implications of both the Jaenisch and De Marinis papers, and you can bet there will be similar fact checks on Mehedi’s paper. There has likewise been pressure on those authors to DOWNPLAY the significance of their own works. To me, this is the height of bullshit.
Jaenisch Paper Downplay
Fact Check-Controversial MIT study does not show that mRNA vaccines alter DNA
Rather than take these arguments apart myself, I ask you all to take a first crack at the different techniques used, by clicking the links and observing the UNETHICAL SKEPTICISM. Much of this does not require a science background.
In particular, knowing what we know now, after the Mehedi work, I think it should be very clear how much the media went to bat for the vaccines without honestly questioning the “authorities”.
I will confirm your findings in the comments, and catch any straggler sins of science.
To me, this media mendacity is all simple, stupid, and predictable.
“Nothing to see here!”
Frankly, it changes nothing for me, if any of these authors get talked into walking back their own work, because push-back on critical work is a common phenomenon in the history of science. Not all scientists are capable of weathering the storm. Here are TWO that did. Both got Nobel prizes, by the way.
A classic case, emphasizing a field aversion among an establishment group to a field solution emerging from deductive reasoning, was Van’t Hoff and tetrahedral carbon. Basically, a doctoral candidate in an applied science school had the temerity to take an old hypothesis and revive it as the solution to a very significant current problem. The guy was good – he went on to win a Nobel prize for other work. However, many chemists, especially older ones, rejected the idea, in my opinion by not prioritizing explanatory power over their own abstract philosophical preconceptions. The fact that important people rejected an elegant solution of remarkable utility and truth shows how bad group-think problems can be in science.
Another case was Rick Smalley and C60 (buckminsterfullerene). The linked article accurately describes the initial skepticism that people had for “soccer ball carbon” or “bucky balls”.
The Nature letter describing C60 was attractive and logical, but seeing a line in a mass spectrum did not convince all scientists of the discovery of a new allotrope of carbon. During the period 1985-1990, the Curl/Smalley team at Rice and Kroto at Sussex managed to amass a wide range of circumstantial evidence to support the fullerene structure proposal. Full acceptance came when Wolfgang Krätschmer of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany, and Donald Huffman of the University of Arizona, with their students Konstantinos Fostiropoulos and Lowell Lamb, succeeded in synthesizing C60 in sufficient quantities to allow structural characterization.
I personally remember colleagues assuring me that Smalley was loony, demented, senile, past his prime, or at best something along the lines of “a nice guy, but clearly deluded and obsessed with an error.” The doubt about C60 as reality – particularly as a stable reality – ran thick. And that doubt was WRONG from the very beginning.
Scientists right now are NOT THINKING, and they’re letting the MEDIA push them around.
Scientists are also letting guys like Anthony FAUCI push them around, mainly by the horrible federal grant system, and by the psychology of woke universities, both designed to control science.
And that doesn’t even begin to address other malign interests altering science and medicine in dishonest ways.
Some Actual Speculation – Why Would They Push These Clearly Defective Shots So Hard?
You want some actual “conspiracy theorizing”? Here it is.
Let me go back to my “TLDR” again…..
They didn’t just lie to us about the spike mRNA not going into the nucleus and not changing human DNA – the whole purpose was very likely to do exactly what they did – to open the cell nucleus and keep it open, so that we as a species can start changing population genomics in a huge way, using a variety of technologies.
There are reasons to suspect depopulation as a motive for these vaccines, and both Gail Combs and I have written extensively about this. I continue to believe that this is part of the motivation of the “complex event” we have been undergoing, between virus and vaccine.
Likewise, there are many other motives, ranging from mercenary profits, to promoting gene therapy, to “Covid communism”, and beyond. Many of these roads lead back to WEF – the World Economic Forum. One of those roads may be an actual attempt to commit humanity to a future of genetic engineering as a kind of fait accompli.
Just listen to Yuval Noah Harari talk about changing humanity. A few times he talks about “we”, “I”, “me”, “my”, and “our” programs of genetic engineering of humanity. It’s not just creepy and megalomaniacal – it seems quite self-assured.
WEF’s interest in genetic transformation of humanity cannot be understated. You will note in the above video, the presence of Jennifer Doudna – the Nobel laureate who (IMO) was most responsible for pushing CRISPR gene editing technology forward. Here is the full video.
This is a particularly good explanation for those who want to dig into the science a little.
So how does CRISPR-Cas9 connect to the spike protein?
I have mentioned that the spike not only is proven to have nucleus-opening properties and cell nuclear mRNA-trafficking properties, but it likely has reverse-transcribing properties as well. Thus, it may have utility in facilitating certain varieties of genomic incorporation of genetic material beyond its own spike mRNA. I’m leaving that open very broadly. We don’t really know how far the “nuclear translocation of mRNA” capabilities of the spike protein actually go.
But even just the incorporation of its own instructions into the cellular genome, makes the spike protein highly relevant to CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology.
We can’t REALLY be sure what happens if the spike protein code gets into egg or sperm DNA, and goes on to be a “feature” of every human cell of a “spike baby”, but I can say one thing – if that gene can be REMOVED during in vitro fertilization (IVF) by CRISPR-Cas9 technology, to the betterment of the child, then it’s very likely going to be demanded by elite parents, to assure a healthy baby.
So – I ask again – WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?
What are the chances, that people who are gung-ho on the “solution” of genetic modification of humanity – you know – like WEF – would have anything to do with releasing a virus and promoting a vaccine that would almost FORCE us into that future?
I think that this era is a lot like the chemical revolution of the late 1800s, precisely when Van ‘t Hoff was dealing with chemical theory. Figures like Malone and Doudna operate in the time of our own biological revolution. Remember Rockefeller, and what he did to science and medicine back during the chemical revolution. Well, now we have Gates and what HE did to science and medicine during the biological revolution.
Personally, I think it’s high time for us to stop taking shit from the corporate media – and particularly the “fact checkers” like Reuters and the AP – as they LIE to our faces about science – as they deny reality on behalf of the corporate titans behind them.
These mRNA vaccines are DEFECTIVE relative to how they were sold to us – very likely by intention – and the media and media organizations have LIED to us about those vaccines in the most scurrilous ways. The media has defended LIES and defrauded all of us.
You don’t have to be FOR or AGAINST gene editing per se, to be against LYING, DEFRAUDING, and FORCING IT ON THE WORLD by a criminal conspiracy.
We need to demand TRUTH about the vaccines, or the SHUTTERING of these “media” companies and organizations, which have cosigned onto crimes against humanity.
Demand no less. TRUTH or BREAK-UP. Media that lies and conceals is USELESS and a hindrance to REAL SCIENCE.
