How I Made Scientific and God’s Peace with the Bryan Ardis Snake Venom Conspiracy Theory of COVID-19 and the Vaccines
I like Bryan Ardis. I like Stew Peters. I love Stew’s show. I love that Stew Peters gives people like Bryan Ardis a forum, when nobody else will. Thanks to Stew Peters, critical messages from Peter McCullough, Robert Malone, Jane Ruby, Karen Kingston, and many others have gotten out to the world. Even earlier messages from Bryan Ardis. In my opinion, Stew’s a hero.
However, getting the TRUTH out has a price. Sometimes stuff that’s not quite truth rides along with it.
A recent special presentation of the Stew Peters Show called Watch The Water – which is basically an interview of Bryan Ardis by Stew – is an excellent example of paying that price.
I’m not going to review the whole thing. Let me just say that Bryan Ardis makes some great scientific analogies (which many of us professional scientists have made, over the last two years), but then overdoes them by asserting they are LITERAL REALITY.
OY VEY!
Many of us have used protein venoms as a teaching tool about the pathogenicity of the spike protein. I have done MULTIPLE posts talking about the spike protein, and even called it the “snake protein” in quotes.
In fact, the title of the first reference below is pretty much my argument with Bryan Ardis.
Using Principles of Protein Equivalence and Analogy as Predictive Tools for Coronavirus Understanding Surely you’ve heard of the BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER. The brown recluse is related to several other recluses, and a couple of other families of spiders, that all have a similar venom – a protein called sphingomyelinase D. This is an enzyme that …
TL;DR – you MUST listen to a short podcast of a scientist revealing the latest research on the spike protein vaccines. The VACCINE ITSELF (not just the spike protein – the mRNA vaccine itself) is persistent and is not only concentrating in ovaries – THE VACCINE ITSELF IS EXCRETED – e.g., in breast milk. Meaning …

Except for Dr. Charles Hoffe, plus a bunch of …
As a young science student in the 1970s, I never would have thought that I would have to correct the American and global media over an issue of late 19th century basic science, but yet, here we are. When basic theories of MATTER and CHEMISTRY proved that “Compound A created by one route has the …
However, in science, just like math, there is a difference between ANALOGY and EQUIVALENCE.
So here is an analogy about analogies not being equivalence.
Ardis’ mistake would be (somewhat badly) analogous to going from “Helium inhalation makes people talk like Donald Duck, which is so gay,” to “Helium inhalation is a Disney plot to turn kids gay.”
Yeah, these statements are kinda similar, but they are NOT identical.
Ardis didn’t HAVE TO GO all the way to saying “it’s not a virus and a spike protein – it’s snake venom”, and “remdesivir is really snake venom”, but he did, and now it’s too late.
I highly recommend just watching the video. Yes, it’s an hour that you will never get back, but I only ask that you watch it until you either finish it, or turn it off and shake your head.
I think I’ve found all the “watch the water” links.
However, I am going to add one more, as a kind of “negative control”.
You see, almost anything can be “watch the water” if you look hard enough.
eilert brought in this tweet video, and EllieLA noted that the surfer sails past a large and almost distinct “Q” composed of foam on the water – beginning at exactly 17 seconds.
See for yourself!

So – is THAT what “watch the water” – the QAnon phrase – means?
Or does it mean, like the title implies, that they’re putting VENOMS in the water supply?
Who KNOWS what it means? There have been literally HUNDREDS of speculations as to what “watch the water” means.
Frankly, at this point, my “care” is on hold.
What I DO care about is anything that we can PROVE, or even just prove to be PROBABLY TRUE.
In the context of the TITLE of the Stew Peters documentary, the use of the phrase “watch the water” is clearly a tie to the QAnon saying, but IMO it will do neither the QAnon people nor the COVID critics any good.
I just shake my head thinking that Ardis is invoking QAnon to “prove” his contention, when it’s far more likely that he’s helping “snake venom in drinking water” and “QAnon” undergo some kind of mutual annihilation.
In other words, “Thanks for the help we didn’t need, and didn’t ask for. In fact, if you don’t mind, you can have your shit sandwich back – I’m not hungry.”
I’m not angry at Ardis – in fact, I’m seriously excited about the possibility of making some excellent lemonade out of the lemons he gave us. And I’m not alone. Here is Jordan Sather’s critique of the interview, which he posted on Telegram (h/t GA/FL).
Watched Stew’s “Watch the Water” video with Dr. Bryan Ardis. (I find it funny Stew calls Q a deep state op, but names his movie after a common Q-ism, ‘watch the water’. Helps with marketing I suppose. Though that’s not the point here..)
I think Ardis is onto something, but not the something he thinks he’s onto. He makes a variety of jumps to conclusions that I don’t think are rooted in sound logic. For instance, “because it’s in the TV show, it must be real”, “if the CDC says don’t do it, then do it”, “if the fact checkers debunk it, it must be real”, etc.
Also still going on with this “there’s no such thing as a virus” line – I don’t resonate with this.
I think it’s possible that snake genes were used in the production of the COVID virus, along with bat DNA, eye of newt, toe of frog, and whatever the heck else they used for the witches brew. Who the heck knows. Could this explain some of his points with remdesivir, monoclonal antibodies, and fact checkers he brought up? There are other claims he makes that I think are far fatched though.
I definitely don’t think they put snake venom in water supplies around the country and that’s what caused the “COVID outbreak”. A bioengineered virus and faulty PCR tests are reasonable enough explanations.
One point: the mainstream media is going to have a field day with hit pieces on this one, seeing as people are already sharing it all over the place like it’s fact. And I think this is only going to add to the confusion when trying to wake normies up about COVID. “Now you think it’s snake venom and viruses don’t exist you crazy conspiracy theorist??”. Only going to make life tougher on ourselves.
I’m not totally sold on this doc and do think there’s a possibility of it being a red herring. Don’t let your guard down.
My two cents on it.
This is one of the reasons I follow Jordan Sather – he is open-minded yet SO level-headed. I totally agree with what he’s saying here.
And while we’re at it, here is another TWO-HOUR interview of Ardis by RedPill78.
This interview is VERY interesting, because Ardis talks about Trump’s position on vaccines, and various attempts to set up meetings between Trump and various vaccine opponents, including Ardis and Peter McCullough.
His take on Trump and vaccines may shock a lot of MAGA people.
Also note that around 33-36 minutes into the video, Ardis acknowledges many scientists holding MY viewpoint on this – that SARS-CoV-2 is the agent, being a virus with a venom-like spike protein – although he calls this viewpoint “agreeing with him”. In other words, his fallback position is – COUGH, COUGH – my position.
*SMIRK*
NOW – let’s get to my NEW AND IMPROVED take on all of this.
At first, I was thinking that I was going to have to do a lot of “defending” of truth and basic logic here, but really, the truth defends itself. You know damn well “they” are not putting snake venom in the water supply. You know in your gut that remdesivir isn’t snake venom.
Whether certain key sequences were put into the spike protein is a question that is exquisitely up for grabs – THAT is a real question. We see HIV-related sequences, we know what those sequences DO, that they are in the right place, that they do what is predicted, and we know that they were patented, etc. Smoking guns.
We ALSO see amino acid sequences related to venomous snakes, but they’re the wrong type of venom – mostly neurotoxic – whereas I personally found the ‘snake venom” pharmacological linkage closer to hemotoxic venoms. Whatever. Please note that *I* was primarily using protein snake venoms as an ANALOGY to show why the pathogenic and hemotoxic spike protein was a BAD CHOICE as an immunogen. My analogy doesn’t require similar sequences, although that would be interesting.
But “they’re” not putting venom in the water supply to cause COVID-19. The idea doesn’t jibe with the facts on any end of the assertion. I leave that to YOU to work out.
Remdesivir – the horrible bad drug that it is – has no need of being snake venom.
The OUTCOMES are still the same.
Don’t let anybody give you remdesivir. Don’t take any drugs from a lying company like Pfizer. This is all very simple. I don’t NEED snake venom for any of it.
The only reason *I* needed to invoke “snake venom” was to help people understand why the spike protein was so nasty, and clearly responsible for the fact that the COVID vaccines were every bit as bad as the disease – maybe WORSE.
SO – here is where I suddenly laugh at the frogs jumping needlessly in the water to “get away” from me – a person who has no intention of harming them.
For ALL the bitching and blog-posting that I did, trying to get people to learn a little biology and pharmacology about protein toxins, and how SNAKE VENOMS and SPIDER VENOMS demonstrated the plausibility of a toxic spike protein in the vaccines, causing both disease and vaccine injuries, I probably enlightened a few dozen people, TOPS.
But CHECK THIS OUT. Bryan Ardis’ stuff now has engagement in the MILLIONS.
Bryan Ardis is dropping a BOMB on the other side, that is MISSING the target, but it is going to wake a LOT of people up – in a way that I had hoped to do, but could not.
The parts of what Ardis is saying that are WRONG are going to get “washed away”, so to speak.
But the parts that are right – meaning getting people to think about venoms as very much analogous to the spike protein – that is gonna STICK.
And in my opinion, THAT is GOD’S WORK.
So, is this “How I learned to stop worrying and love the bombshell?”
Maybe so.
Yup. The frogs jump in stupidly, but they’re still God’s wonderful creatures, and they do what they do for a reason.
If you ever graduated from any college or university in America, then you are familiar with how these institutions now make money – after they long-ago stumbled past the point of “Go Woke, Go Broke”.
SPORTS is the big moneymaker – but not every alumnus shells out for tickets – much less ponies up the big donation bucks for a locker room to be named after their family.
For the “humanities” types, and the “cultured corporate elite” types, and most of all the “seniors with too much time and money” types, a different approach is needed.
Enter the “alumni cruise” racket.
For several thousand dollars each – not counting your air fare to the correct continent or port city – you can visit a half-dozen famous cities and see their most famous historic sites. And don’t worry if those cities are land-locked – you can take a river cruise to see THOSE, too.
Surely, if you went to college, and the college has your address, you get those slick brochures for alumni cruises as a heavy component of your “almost junk” mail.
In the past, these cruises were always a bit of a temptation, even though we really couldn’t afford one. Nonetheless, we were always on the lookout for THE ONE VACATION CRUISE that would get two thumbs up, as well as the whole obstacle course of reality green lights.
However….. before we ever got around to taking an alumni cruise…..
ENTER COVID-19.
COVID-19 was actually PROPAGANDIZED using a cruise ship – the Diamond Princess – which was helpful to the plotters in the short term, but not in the long term, as the ship turned into a laboratory which – in the hands of independent science – ended up debunking 90% of Faucism.
Let me drop some of the SWEET graphs out of this thing, as a way of TEMPTING you to click the links.
But let us not digress into YET ANOTHER worthy critique of the “clot shot” itself.
Instead, let us note the following:
cruise lines were one of the biggest victims of COVID-19 fear-mongering, and the universe of stupid policies it spawned, ceasing all travel for over a year.
when travel on cruise ships was once again allowed, cruise lines were encouraged to be draconian in their policies for travelers, requiring vaccinations, masks, etc.
the wicked media HOUNDED the cruise lines for months, jumping on every COVID case at sea, trying not only to prevent the cruise lines from opening back up, but insuring that the lines would thereafter adopt and cling to draconian measures.
NOW – here is the problem.
I have watched these stupid brochures, to see exactly how “COVID-woke” these cruises would be, because there is no way in hell that I’m going to get a COVID vaccination to travel – particularly with a vaccine that is very likely to aggravate my various post-COVID ailments and conditions.
Initially, the brochures attempted to use COVID fears as a selling point, BRAGGING incessantly about just how safe their cruise ships were, due to vaccine and masking requirements, which were in place for all travelers and crew.
Indeed, I was afraid for a while that this kind of thinking might spread, but my worries were unfounded, as just the opposite happened. I suspect that cruise lines initially got SOME takers for these “safety cruises”, but then quickly learned that the MASKY FEAR DEMS WHO WERE WILLING TO TRAVEL were in fact a small and hardly profitable minority.
Most of my “masky” and “vaxxy” Dem friends and neighbors are unwilling to go out to eat at a restaurant, much less take a cruise. There simply CAN’T be many takers for a cruise in that crowd.
Thus, it wasn’t too long, before “mask pride” and “vaxx pride” disappeared from alumni cruise brochures, only to be replaced by the back-fold section of “oh, by the way, you must be vaccinated” requirements.
That went on for a while, and it was fairly easy for me to quickly determine that – YES – there was still a vaccine requirement for all passengers and crew.
Now I thought THAT state of affairs would go on forever, but – surprise, surprise, surprise – I was wrong. It sure looks like there are NOT enough people willing to get vaccinated, for these alumni cruises to make the money they need. Because the next thing they did was to make the COVID vaccination requirement extremely tiny, hard to find, or both.
REALLY! You don’t say. Ashamed of your COVID vaccination requirement? Gettin’ in the way of the CASH? You have to DUPE old people with FINE PRINT that’s impossible to find, or to read without a magnifier?
THAT was when I started having a good laugh.
GO WOKE – GO BROKE. YET AGAIN!
Hardy-har-har. The SCHADENFREUDE was most excellent.
But that’s not the end of it! Oh, no!
Oh, those silly old people with their PATIENCE, their TIME AT HOME, and their MAGNIFYING GLASSES. Apparently, microscopic print and bizarre, changing locations on the brochures were not enough to deter foolish old seniors from REJECTING cruises with vaccine requirements.
So what did the VACCINE CRUISE sellers do NEXT?
I am now seeing MYRIAD “artful dodges” of the COVID vaccination questions – almost ALL of which end up as follows:
reader must go online and dig through numerous links to confirm that – YES, STUPID BARBARIAN – vaccines are required
question is not answered, in such a way that….
passengers must sign up, accepting moneymaker cancellation requirements
requirements will be announced prior to the trip, too late to get all your money back, but with plenty of time to get the vaccine ahead of the “we don’t want them to drop dead on our boat” vaccination window of two weeks prior to embarkation
Here is an example of the FIRST case, where you get a link, go online, and get repeatedly redirected. Eventually, you get to HERE:
This is a long page with lots of nice, happy, and less than helpful information, and at the end you are told to go check with the individual cruise lines, thankfully provided as links.
Here is where one link goes – for Oceania Cruises.
At least THEY are direct, and don’t send you to a gazillion more pages.
Scroll down, click around, and eventually you get this:
Let’s include that as TEXT for our low-vision friends.
ALL INDIVIDUALS (GUESTS & CREW) MUST BE VACCINATED
All guests sailing are required to be fully vaccinated, at least 2 weeks prior to departure, in order to board. For embarkation from European ports, the EU definition of fully vaccinated is as follows:
A passenger or crew member who carries a proof of vaccination, and at least 14 days and no more than 270 days have passed since the last dose of the primary vaccination series or if the person has received a third dose.
Any guest whose primary COVID-19 vaccination will be beyond 270 days at the time of disembarkation from their voyage must have a COVID-19 “booster” at least 14 days prior to embarkation.
To visit our FAQ for the latest vaccine protocol information and accepted vaccines, click here.
So that’s it. You must be vaccinated.
Now, the SECOND type of DODGE doesn’t even resolve the ambiguity. This technique is absolute FOOT IN THE DOOR.
On the brochure, you find THIS, in fine print on the back page.
COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocols: The well-being of our guests and staff members on tour will continue to be our highest priorities. To maintain a healthy environment for travel, we will be establishing and adhering to a detailed set of health and safety protocols for all facets of your tour. We are committed to following the guidelines of the State Department, CDC, WHO, and authorities of respective countries regarding travel to a particular destination. Detailed protocols for this tour, based on conditions at the time, will be provided approximately 115 days prior to departure.
There is no way to make a SOLID assessment from this level of information. In fact, the only way to get a HINT is to search the brochure for information as to the identity of the cruise line itself, and to research that company’s current and likely future policies on vaccination.
SO – does it seem to you that “THEY” have now switched from LURING you into vaccination, to actually CORNERING you into vaccination?
That’s what it seems like to me.
Here is a simple message for these cruise lines, universities, and alumni associations.
We are NOT signing up for a cruise that does not PROMISE us that we don’t have to be vaccinated. We don’t care about testing – that’s a great idea on a cruise. You should be testing the VACCINATED people most of all. I’ll even explain the SCIENCE of that fact to the captain and chief medical officer at dinner.
But we won’t be getting vaccinated.
And if that means NO CRUISES EVER, well, then, TOO DAMN BAD.
Kristina Lawson, President of the California Medical Board, can’t answer simple questions from a physician about her offices attack on hydroxychloroquine or threatening to revoke MD’s licenses for prescribing it.
I almost can’t believe that AFLDS.org produced this thing. Some of it is just CRINGEVILLE. BUT – I have to admit – it’s persuasive as all get-out. For normies, it’s a nice compilation of the problems with the vaccines INJECTIONS.
However, the over-done production, the cliche jokes, and the corny bad writing just make this every bit as fun as Robot Monster and Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Where it’s good, it’s good, but where it’s bad, it’s hilariously bad.
Please forward to future former friends, if you dare.
I think some guy named Alinsky said something about ridicule, or maybe it was about people not being able to walk the streets, or something like that. Are we there yet?
In my opinion, everybody needs to watch this video, to understand the viral nature of what is then easily seen as the trans identity error, and how it spreads.
This is a complex subject, but at its foundation is (in my opinion) a very simple, almost child-like error – that a “desired non-self” can be obtained against the will of the universe by changing the self into that non-self. You will see how internet image memes were consciously used to promote and spread this error.
The internet has promoted this kind of immature thinking in many ways, as a byproduct of both the viral-enhancing and spiritual-enabling nature of the internet. At the same time that the internet allows us to reach every human mind, in principle, it also allows new kinds of error to flow and to grow. The spiritual nature of the internet, for good and bad, is REAL.
For every Duchess meme, spreading the Good News which allows us to appreciate what we have and what we will have, there are antithetical memes and meme-spreaders who seek to make us envy the very objects of our desire, and then to attempt to falsely become those things.
Listen carefully to understand that Facebook is seeking to create a future where this kind of error is even more possible, more likely, and more difficult to avoid. Instead of becoming stronger, spiritually, to contain actual error, Facebook, under election criminal Mark Zuckerberg, creates a new world of even more error, which can deceive even more strongly.
This young lady is one of the most articulate and insightful people I’ve ever heard. Clearly she would have been a “win” for the other side. As it is now, she exposes the trans error at levels I never expected.
Please watch the entire interview, and leave your comments and thoughts below.
Thank you!

PS – if this video disappears, look for it on Michael Knowles’ channel on Rumble:
Companion Planting, a favorite with organic farmers.
Native Americans were our first farmers, including the Cherokee, who adopted and adapted an interdependent farming system known colloquially as the Three Sisters. The main characters are corn, beans, and squash or pumpkin, called selu, tuya, and iya in the Cherokee language. Each of them provided foodstuffs, of course, but their role wasn’t singular. Farmers hilled up the three together in mounds, not rows. The cornstalks formed the center pole, giving the beans purchase to climb sunward. Nodules on the weblike bean roots returned vital nitrogen to the soil. Broad squash leaves shaded the ground, slowing evaporation, and the plant itself produced an allelopathic substance that reduced weeds when it washed off in the rain. Meanwhile, the prickly hairs on the ropey squash vines deterred marauding animals….
What is often left out, is this type of farming, although it is labor intensive produces more food per acre than mono-cropping according to a study by ETH Zurich.
Traditional farming.
This type of farming takes into account the type of land and the interplay of animals and plants. Crops are best on well watered, flat fertile land without rocks. (It is amazing how New England soil can GROW ROCKS each year.) Hay can be grown on more hilly & rocky ground. The steepest ground can be used for pastures, orchards or woodlots. Pigs can be run under the trees in orchards to eat the dropped fruit that are likely full of bugs or in woodlots to scrounge for acorns, insects and other eatables . They are also great ‘garbage disposals’. Chickens and other fowl do a great job of eating the bugs that attack crops and fruit trees. Manure and crop rotation keep the soil in good shape and if a field becomes poor, grass with clover (a nitrogen fixing legume) can be planted and livestock run on it for a few years to return it to productive health. Various sources suggest agricultural land is split into 70% pastureland, and 30% arable/crop land. Vegans seems to miss this point. Much of the land that is flat, is fine for pasture but too dry for crops. Plant Types: I. C3 Plants, Comparison With C4 and Cam Plants
KöppenClimate Classification Map
Monoculture farming
This type of industrial farming grows a single crop usually using lots of fertilizers, pesticides and water. Without crop rotation it exhausts the soil. In animals it is called CAFO “concentrated animal feeding operation” These CAFOs are based on feeding large quantities of TAXPAYER SUBSIDIZED grain in a confined area, where the animals are often fed antibiotics to prevent illness from crowding and the overfeeding of grain. The main goal is to make $$$ and not to preserve the land for the next generation. My farm lost over two foot of top soil in 50 years according to the 1945 county soil survey. This was thanks to monoculture tobacco farming. It was sold because there was no organic matter left in the soil and therefore would no longer produce a decent crop.
SPS measures were found in the original GATT Articles, mainly Article XX “General Exceptions,” and later in the 1979 Tokyo Round Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade, a plurilateral agreement known as the Standards Code. The intent of the Agreement was to ensure that when SPS (Sanitary and Phytosanitary) measures were applied, they were used only to the extent necessary to ensure food safety and animal and plant health, and not to unduly restrict market access for other countries (James and Anderson, 1998; Roberts, 1998).

Launched in 1986, the General Agreement on Tariffs & Trade (GATT) Uruguay Round of international trade talks has been dominated by a confrontation between the US and the EC over farm policy reform. Both sides proclaim their commitment to devising a GATT regime which will bring an end to the anarchy in world agricultural markets, yet neither is willing to address the underlying cause of the present malaise: structural over-production in their own farm sectors and the resulting accumulation of surpluses. The use of export subsidies to put these surpluses on to world markets caused developing countries severe trade and food security problems in the 1980s; and a Uruguay Round deal is unlikely to bring any relief. What it will do, however, is introduce new regulations which, enshrined in international trade law, will restrict the right of developing countries to manage their own food systems. Most importantly, the use of trade measures to control food imports and price support measures to promote staple food production could be severely constrained, or banned, by a ‘farm superpower’ GATT agreement. http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a769339885~db=all (Defunct URL)
The U.S. comprehensive proposal for agricultural trade reform in October 1989 covered:
* market access: convert all nontariff barriers to bound tariffs;
make substantial cuts in these and existing tariffs over 10 years;
use tariff rate quotas and safeguard measures to facilitate transition;
- export competition: phase out export subsidies over five years;
prohibit export restrictions on foodstuffs imposed because of short domestic supplies;
* internal support: phase out most trade-distorting measures;
discipline those that interfere less; permit those with small
trade effect that meet specific criteria;
* sanitary and phytosanitary measures: place these under an international process for dispute settlement and harmonization. http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/WDSContentServer/WDSP/IB/1999/12/30/000178830_98101901511298/.../multi_page.txt (now unavailable to the serfs)
1991 PVP monopoly has applied to seed multiplication and also to the harvest and sometimes the final product as well. Previously unlimited right of farmers to save seed for the following year’s planting has been changed into an optional exception. Only if national government allows, can farm-saved seed still be used, and a royalty has to be paid to the seed company even for seeds grown on-farm.

December 2004 Union president Stan Painter receive reports from union member that SRM regulations are not uniformly enforced. Painter writes to the Assistant FSIS Administrator for Field Operation about enforcement problem. USDA responses by placed Painter on disciplinary investigation status and contacts the USDA Office of Inspector General about filing criminal charges…..It (the recall of Hallmark/Westland Meat) highlights one of the problems that we have attempted to raise with the agency ever since 1996 when the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) inspection system was put in place. There seems to be too much reliance on an honor system for the industry to police itself. While the USDA investigation is still on going at Hallmark/Westland, a couple of facts have emerged that point to a system that can be gamed by those who want to break the law. It (HACCP) shifted the responsibility for food safety over to the companies .

There was no follow‐up by the agency management to emphasize the importance of enforcing the provisions of the Act.

Answer. USDA’s investigation into the validity of allegations that Specified Risk Material (SRM) regulations are not being effectively carried out or properly enforced was conducted solely to ensure the safety of our Nation’s food supply.
Question. Stan Painter, the president of the food inspectors union, set forth a series of concerns about SRM removal in a letter to the agency in early December. I understand that FSIS has responded to the letter by launching a personal investigation of Mr. Painter. In January, for example, FSIS flew Mr. Painter to Washington DC and questioned him for 3 hours, to try to get him to divulge the sources of his information. However, FSIS has a database of non-compliance reports, which should document instances in which inspectors have reported non-compliance with SRM removal. Why has FSIS chosen to investigate Mr. Painter personally instead of addressing the questions and concerns raised by his letter?
Answer. In a December 8, 2004, letter, the chairman of the National Joint Council of Food Inspection Locals made unsubstantiated and non-specific allegations that FSIS is not properly enforcing regulations requiring the removal of Specified Risk Materials (SRMs) from beef products. Because of the serious nature of the allegations contained in Mr. Painter’s Letter, FSIS immediately initiated an inquiry into those allegations which included an informal interview of the union chairman. During that interview, Mr. Painter refused to provide specific information to support the letter’s allegations. That inquiry subsequently resulted in a formal investigation by FSIS to determine the validity of the allegations. As part of that investigation, Mr. Painter was formally interviewed on two occasions in January. The FSIS investigation has been completed and the allegations concerning improper enforcement of SRM regulations were not substantiated..… [Remember the FOIA request resulted in Over 1000 non-compliance reports – weighing some 16 pounds — being turned over…]
I ran across a comment made in another forum that will chill the blood of any farmers or small business people reading this article. It shows the cover-up for large corporations and targeting of Mom & Pop businesses is systemic within the US bureaucracy.

1996 “Freedom to Farm” legislation of 1996. Cargill played a significant role in pressurizing the US government to move away from its farmer support programmes and eventually adopt the Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act otherwise known as Freedom to Farm, or to its critics “Freedom to fail”. — Corporate Watch
The latest assault on the right of farmers to save seed is a technology developed by USDA and the seed industry. In March of this year the USDA and Delta & Pine Land Co., a Monsanto subsidiary, proudly announced that they received a patent on a technique that genetically alters seed so that it will not germinate if re-planted the following season.

2001 Issues for the Agricultural Talks and WTO Trade Round:
“The un-scientific so-called “precautionary principle” is unfortunately being successfully and constantly misused as justification to immobilize science and its applications, as well as to confuse the public. ..The so-called principle, which is in fact a concept rather than a principle, is indeed a wonderful tool to avoid delicate political decision. .. the so-called precautionary principle – in reality a concept rather than a scientific principle – should not be used as a tool to stop innovation, even under the guise of a moratorium, which is what has happened in the EU today. There will always be scientific uncertainty in any scientific field and reasonable approaches to risk management must be adopted to manage this uncertainty. Prohibition must only be used as an extreme risk management tool. Abuses of the precaution concept to justify political positions, or to cloak distorting import restriction policies, should equally be avoided and expressively exposed. The European Commission’s recent white paper was helpful in clarifying the limits to be set on the use of the so-called “precautionary principle.” …. The internationalization of the food chain demands that identification, registration, tracking and tracing systems also become internationalized. — Mr Auxenfans
After 31 years with Monsanto, Mr. Auxenfans, retired from the Monsanto Corporation at the end of 1999 as the former Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Agricultural Division, and its Chairman for the Europe-Africa operations. He is a member of the Board of Directors at both the IPC and the IAMA.

2002, the National Institute of Animal Agriculture (NIAA) began a major push for NAIS (traceability).
Listen up, America. Apparently, there’s a big, new threat to our national security: Terrorist chickens. Luckily, though, our national government, with the support of agribusiness corporations and high-tech firms, have a plan to tag and track every one of these terrible terrorists…. Holy George Orwell! Forced surveillance of livestock and pets – who came up with this? The National Institute of Animal Agriculture – a lobbying front for the likes of Cargill, Monsanto, Schering-Plough, and other agribusiness giants, as well as for the makers of the billions of electronic tags that Americans will be forced to buy. Since 2002, this tiny group has quietly pushed the Bush ag department to impose this mandatory program on all livestock owners, literally invading our homes and farms, while trampling our privacy and property rights
2002 Effect of new Ag policies on farmers in USA and Mexico:
FTAA is essentially an expansion of NAFTA. But NAFTA has proven to be a nightmare for working families and the environment. A look at NAFTA’s legacy shows why these kinds of “free trade” agreements should be opposed. Working families suffer: In the US, more than 765,000 jobs have disappeared as a result of NAFTA. When these laid off workers find new jobs, they earn 23 percent less on average than at their previous employment. In Mexico, manufacturing wages fell 21 percent from 1995 to 1999, and have only started to recover. The percentage of Mexicans living in poverty has also grown since NAFTA went into effect. The environment suffers: In the maquiladora zones along the US-Mexico border, the increased pollution and the improper disposal of chemical wastes have dramatically raised rates of hepatitis and birth defects. NAFTA should be repealed, not expanded.
March 6, 2004 “It is important to note that no animal identification program will prevent an introduction of animal disease, ensure safe food or prevent a recall.” – SCOTT CHARBO, Chief Information Officer at USDA
“Tracking of Cattle Becomes Key Goal,” Houston Chronicle, March 6, 2004, p.1.
“According to APHIS-USDA (2004a), the increasing number of animal disease outbreaks that have been reported around the globe over the past decade, and the single US cow that tested positive for BSE, have greatly intensified public interest in developing a national identification program for the purpose of protecting animal health.
Marshall (2004a) reported that USDA Secretary Ann Veneman announced on April 30, 2004:
(a) USDA will now move forward on a National Animal Identification System (NAIS) using $18.8 million to start the program and with $33 million more in the FY-2005 federal budget,
(b) the frame work will be “technology neutral” but RFID will be the method of choice to get the program going as soon as possible,
(c) the USAIP will be modified to protect producer confidentiality (against inappropriate use of the Freedom Of Information Act—FOIA), and (d) NAIS will initially be voluntary, with premises IDs assigned in Fall 2004 and individual animal IDs used at a later date. http://www.theisef.com/CMDocs/isef/05Traceability.pdf [Dead URL]

A Premises has no protection under the Constitution of the United States while property always has the exclusive rights of the owner tied to it. Property rights are protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution. The word Premise is a synonym for the word tenement… Websters New World Dictionary 1960 College Edition defines Premises as the part of a deed or lease that states its reason the parties involved and the property in conveyance. Webster then defines conveyance as the transfer of ownership of real property from one person to another. It is quite obvious that the bureaucrats in Washington had a very good reason to use the term premises and never mention PROPERTY…. Page 22 The New User Guide-USDA
The Truth about Premises Identification, Before you sign up did they release this information to you? premises identification number, or PIN, is then assigned to that location associating it with the mailing address. Page 22 The New User Guide It is important to remember that the premises identification number (PIN) is assigned to a geophysical location. If an owner or entity sells his/her farm, the next operators of the premises use the original premises identification number that had been assigned to that location. If the seller buys a new location to build a new operation that never had livestock, he/she would register that location and obtain a new premises identification number. It will carry with the land forever….. That means this PIN must be disclosed when selling the property.
January 8 2008 ~In the UK Defra has dropped the word ‘farming’ from its title. “Defra and the Treasury’s joint vision document of 2006 presented to the EU argued that supports for farming should be completely abandoned.. farming is a drain on the country’s finances and we are in a “post agricultural era”…“ —Warmwell

FAO is supporting harmonization of seed rules and regulations in Africa and Central Asia in order to stimulate the development of a vibrant seed industry…An effective seed regulation harmonization process involves dialogue amongst all relevant stakeholders from both private and public sectors. Seed quality assurance, variety release, plant variety protection, biosafety, plant quarantine and phytosanitary issues are among the major technical areas of a regional harmonized seed system. The key to a successful seed regulation harmonization is a strong political will of the governments involved
2008: USDA is moving toward supporting fewer labs nationwide, with the remaining labs serving as regional labs and supporting larger geographic areas. The first-point testing program is the “early warning system” for the brucellosis program, enabling detection of infection prior to sale of cattle within the state. With the discontinuation of first-point testing, slaughter testing will become the primary method for brucellosis surveillance. Texas Animal Health Commission
Alongside this, as hoped for by designers of NAFTA, has been ‘modernisation’ – a sharp decline in the share of agriculture and allied sectors in the workforce. From nearly 27% in 1991 it declined to slightly less than 15% in 2006, losing more than 2 million jobs[18]. Again small and marginal farmers and agricultural labour bore the brunt, as evidenced by very sharp decline in the number of rural households. According to a study by Jose Romero and Alicia Puyana carried out for the federal government of Mexico, between 1992 and 2002, the number of agricultural households fell an astounding 75% – from 2.3 million to 575, 000[19]. There has been a significant increase in migration out of rural areas as livelihoods are lost and farms have been abandoned.
Ejidos are a system of community-owned lands which, in some cases, have been owned “in trust” by communities for centuries. Ejido lands were protected from sale as a result of the 1910 Mexican Revolution. However, a significant amount of ejido land passed into private hands during the 1980s and 1990s due to extreme credit pressures and changes to the Mexican Constitution. These constitutional changes allow, for the first time since the Revolution, the sale of ejido land to private owners. The changes were a crucial concession by Mexico to ensure the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1993.

2009 The Largest Wave of Suicides in History
Farmer suicides in India: Now the full toll—surely among the largest sustained waves of suicides in human history—is becoming apparent. And as Sainath emphasizes, these numbers still underestimate the disaster, since women farmers are excluded from the official statistics… It is important that the figure of 150,000 farm suicides is a bottom line estimate…. As Professor Nagaraj puts it: “There is likely to be a serious underestimation of suicides…what has driven the huge increase in farm suicides, particularly in the Big Four or ’Suicide SEZ’ States? “Overall,” says Professor Nagaraj, “there exists since the mid-90s, an acute agrarian crisis. That’s across the country. In the Big Four and some other states, specific factors compound the problem…. Cultivation costs have shot up in these high input zones, with some inputs seeing cost hikes of several hundred per cent… Meanwhile, prices have crashed, as in the case of cotton, due to massive U.S.-EU subsidies to their growers. All due to price rigging with the tightening grip of large corporations over the trade in agricultural commodities.”
2013 – Biologist Pushpa Bhargava spoke of terminator seeds being sold to farmers in India.
While the debate rages as to whether certain seeds contain a ‘terminator gene’ or more likely some other trait that at least diminishes seed virility, the outcome of global policies that have benefited big agribusiness, as well as seed patenting and seed monopoly (and the swallowing the seed companies’ pesticides!) has been the widespread termination of farmers’ lives in India. With reports of collapsed cotton yields throughout the state of Maharashtra in India , ‘cutting edge’ biotechnology is proving to be terminal on many levels.
We are an independent, non-governmental organization. We are a global network of national standards bodies with one member per country. Our job is to make International Standards.
We are coordinated by a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland…
ISO standards for agriculture cover all aspects of farming, from irrigation and global positioning systems (GPS) to agricultural machinery, animal welfare and sustainable farm management. They help to promote effective farming methods while ensuring that everything in the supply chain – from farm to fork [Where have I read that before…]– meets adequate levels of safety and quality…. Who benefits from ISO standards for agriculture? INDUSTRY, consumers, regulators…..
I’m just asking. I want YOUR opinions. I don’t have an opinion yet.
Like the case of the many different COVID vaccines, this is complicated – possibly even MORE complicated, if some of the vaccines are substantially “safe”. There are many different vaccines, seemingly for different target age groups.
Some are produced by Pfizer, or by companies now owned by Pfizer.
Not a lot of TRUST there, I must admit.
Here are some “mainstream” references to get people started:

The Business At Hand
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get THROUGH IT, OVER IT, and BEYOND IT.
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
In an image…….
Try to make it real.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our enemies, many of whom were grievously harmed by their foolish choice to virtue signal with the experimental gene therapy vaccines, which were snuck upon all of us by the monstrous WEF, Pfizer and Moderna, despite our warnings, and because this corrupt administration, media, and social media suppressed the truth.

I refer you to a series of ABSOLUTELY AWESOME memes posted by Robert Malone, here:
“Hospitals receive payments for testing every patient for COVID, every COVID diagnosis and every ‘COVID death,’ as well as any time they use remdesivir and mechanical ventilation.”
Not only is that a great article, that is highly referenced.. It very accurately goes through history and malfeasance by our government and the hospitals. This article is a must read. It also has an extensive list of references at the end.
You may hit a paywall, but you can take Malone’s word for it, if you do.

How “Let’s Go Brandon” Demonstrates the Failure of The Regime’s “Decisive Victory” Strategy Against Us
This may seem like it’s the usual, hand-waving, “defeat is victory” battered-conservative abuse-porn, coated with addictive hopium, but IMO it’s actually some “real” hopanite ore, suitable for creating hopium-based nukes, and depleted hopium bullets.
Basically, a comparison of the “establishment victory over Trump” to Pearl Harbor.
They have not won.
Rather, they have earned themselves an ASS-WHOOPIN’.
Robert Malone Performs/Explains A Real Live Peer Review
This is actually REALLY GREAT, and a UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY. You will almost NEVER see this, unless you get an advanced science degree, and in that case, you will likely be taught all the bad habits of somebody not nearly as good and experienced in “grantsmanship”, patenting, and publication, as is Robert W. Malone.
Malone even does it in plain, common, sensible language that anybody can understand. You will literally see how to “talk back” to HIGHLY credentialed scientists making mistakes, showing bias, sticking to narratives, and just being people who you should NOT trust.
This is RESTORATIVE to real science. I just cannot praise this enough.
Peer review example: “Effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine among children”
Having written hundreds of requested peer reviews, I am offering my unsolicited one.
What makes this even more powerful, is a slightly earlier post by Malone, in which he exhorts ALL people to USE COMMON SENSE in doubting the media on things in which they don’t have expertise, because the FAKE NEWS is demonstrably WRONG on the things in which you DO have expertise, and you REMEMBER those cases, and therefore you are absolutely entitled to extend that skepticism to ALL THINGS THE PRESS SAYS.
Please note that there are many variations on how English speakers actually pronounce most of the word, but the lifted pinky / beltway bandit / light-in-the-loafers silent T is “supposed to be” preserved in English, and the result sounds very French.
Therefore, if you want to stay grounded and keep your “man of the people” cover, you can intentionally mispronounce the word JUST A LITTLE by including that final ‘t’ ever so slightly (“MAUWNt”).
Alternatively, over-emphasize the open mouth ‘MAUW[n]’ at the end to almost comedic levels, and you sound like a real American who took French in high school. But it’s still probably best to avoid ‘reproach-ment’, unless you really want to make sure people think you don’t know a lick of French.
Used in a sentence:
The convergence was noted by statesmen and scholars of the time, but the term “Great Rapprochement” to refer to a distinct historical phenomenon may have been coined by the American historian of Anglo-American relations Bradford Perkins in his 1968 study of the period, The Great Rapprochement: England and the United States 1895–1914.
Slightly misused (and optionally mispronounced) in a Lindsey Graham joke:
I think it is now quite clear that Bill and Melinda Gates need to get the hell out of science and medicine for the good of humanity.
I am going to show you why.
I am not saying that Bill Gates is doing anything new. I am saying that he moved his disastrous “Windows Effect” from information technology – which Gates corrupted and hindered with his inferior product and short-sighted greed – to human health – where Gates is doing the exact same thing, only with more obvious damage to society and individuals.
I’m going to start at the END – with the most recent bit of evidence, which finally compelled me to write this article.
Hat tip apudlo on Gab for reposting this link, leading me to this study.
This isn’t just a 70% reduction in mortality of COVID-19 relative to no treatment. This is 70% reduction relative to treatment with Anthony Fauci’s “gold standard of care”, remdesivir.
Actually – let’s take a bit of a sidebar and then a hypostrophe (return from a parenthetical discussion) on the subject of remdesivir.
There will be justice for Veronica Wolski, because we will DEMAND IT. And until there IS justice, we will drag the CRIMES of Anthony Fauci and Gilead “Pharmaceuticals” and their SLEAZY ASSOCIATES thorough the headlines, over and over, until people SPIT IN THEIR PATH as they walk down the streets.

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

We have a really RETRO shipment this week. All designed to go along with our FEATURE PRESENTATION.
These are presented in the order that they came out of the box.
PATENT MEDICINE PILL, 1890.
Advertisement for Beecham’s Pills from an American newspaper of 1890.
Interestingly, Beecham’s Pills were actually USEFUL. They contained aloe, ginger, and SOAP, the latter meaning that they were much like stool softeners – a gentle laxative.
Not so sure about snake oil…..
The following is a subtle ad for CHILD DEWORMERS.
With this picture, we begin some ads for Dr. D. Jayne and his products. His company lasted for around a century. He was an actual trained doctor, and tended to use pharmaceuticals with real physical effects, like digitalis, opiates, etc., rather than quack ingredients.
American children tended to have roundworms and pinworms – Dr. Jayne’s “vermifuge” apparently worked on both.
Jayne used a lot of artwork in his marketing – thus many of his product advertisements can still be found.
The following is very subtle propaganda.
Jayne’s was still around as WWII loomed. Many of our childhoods were not long after this. Bear this in mind later in this post.
More “Jayne’s art”.
The expectorant apparently contained ipecac, opium and digitalis.
Nothing like a good salve!
Stabler’s apothecary was run by multiple generations of a family of pharmacists. The founder, Edward, was an interesting herbalist, trained in Pennsylvania. He was an abolitionist in Virginia who would purchase slaves to set them free. http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/news/2006/feb/01/herbal-remedy/
I hope you have some idea now about medicine in the 19th century.
Do you think we’ve advanced much?
Let’s move “forward” now, to “state of the art” 19th century prescription medicine.
Seatbelts.
Mercury and Arsenic as the mRNA and Remdesivir of Pre-Fauci America
In the process of reading about how COVID vaccines are now setting off syphilis tests (a topic which we covered last Friday), I chanced upon a boatload of information about early treatments of syphilis, and what I read simply blew me away.
The scandals of syphilis are WAY, WAY more than the “shame of the disease itself”, and WAY, WAY more than the Tuskegee syphilis experiment.
These scandals are SMALL POTATOES compared to the scandal of TREATMENT OF SYPHILIS WITH MERCURY.
This is history you will NOT learn under globalists and progressives.
A scandal which was SO BAD – just like “treatment” with these demonic mRNA vaccines – that medicine started QUIETLY – without admitting fault – looking for an exit strategy. And part of that was motivated by this fact:
BLACKS and other groups who were not getting “treated” with mercury, were not suffering many of the WORST end-stage “symptoms of syphilis”.
You see what I mean? It was JUST LIKE THE CLOT SHOT. Just like remdesivir. BLAMECASTING the errors of the BAD but moneymaker treatments onto the disease.
This is NOT NEW STUFF.
In fact, it is MOST IRONIC that the Tuskegee experiment STARTED OFF by literally SAVING the participants from treatment with mercury – only to then DENY THEM penicillin when that became available, so that they could continue the experiment.
Because the experiment was not merely about “not treating people”.
It was REALLY about NOT TREATING PEOPLE WITH MERCURY.
And THIS explains why there was so much determination to get these participants to the end-stage WITHOUT TREATMENT. Because it was end-stage effects that they were so interested in observing.
What I discovered was that the history of medicine in America is FILLED with stuff every bit as bad as the DEMON Anthony Fauci, the disaster of AIDS and AZT, toxic drugs like remdesivir, and medical killers like the untested mRNA vaccines. Much of it is exposed by the history of syphilis, so that is where we will begin.
The Wikipedia article on syphilis doesn’t say much about the actual treatment of syphilis with mercury, despite it having a fairly extensive section on treatment. A much better coverage is found in the article on the History of syphilis.
However, even THAT does not really give you a sense of the magnitude of what might gently be called “the problem of mercury as a medicine”.
Let me put it this way. When it turned out that MALARIA and ARSENIC were both superior and more importantly SAFER treatments of syphilis relative to the “consensus treatment” of MERCURY, you know that mercury was BAD SHIT as a medicine.
Obviously, if they tried MALARIA and ARSENIC, people KNEW that mercury was a bad drug.
In fact, I was shocked to find that the current confrontation between “natural therapies” and “pharmaceuticals” is a VERY old conflict that never went away. While there has been SOME reduction in the mortality difference between “do no harm, save a few” natural remedies and “kill a bunch of people, save a few” pharmaceuticals, we are still talking about millions of Americans killed by pharmaceuticals intended – or maybe just “purported” – to save them.
Anyway, here is the big picture.
The “clot shot” and the people who maliciously pushed it are entirely believable in the long, dark shadow of “killer calomel”.
SO – let’s get started with Hg2Cl2.
My parents actually had a bottle of calomel (not calamine – the neighbor kids had that) in the medicine cabinet when I was a kid. It was somewhat more modern than the above, with a metal screw-cap. Indeed, my parents had a lot of very old-school medical stuff from the 40s and 50s.
As children, we treated all our wounds with the mercury compound thiomersal, a.k.a. merthiolate. You know – the bad stuff in vaccines. This is the “new” bottle which I loved – we had older glass bottles with a glass dipping rod, before these handy squeeze bottles.
Calomel has a LONG history as a therapeutic. Although it got its start back in alchemy, by the time it got to America, it was a common medicine.
From Wikipedia:
By the 19th century, calomel was viewed as a panacea, or miracle drug, and was used against almost every disease, including syphilis, bronchitis, cholera, ingrown toenails, teething, gout, tuberculosis, influenza, and cancer. During the 18th and early 19th centuries pharmacists used it sparingly; but by the late 1840s, it was being prescribed in heroic doses[7]—due in part to the research of Benjamin Rush, who coined the term “heroic dose” to mean about 20 grains taken four times daily.[8] This stance was supported by Dr. Samuel Cartwright, who believed that large doses were “gentlest” on the body.[9] As calomel rose in popularity, more research was done into how it worked.
J. Annesley was one of the first to write about the differering effects of calomel when taken in small or large doses.[9] Through experimentation on dogs, Annesley concluded that calomel acted more like a laxative on the whole body rather than acting specifically on the vascular system or liver as previous physicians believed.[9] In 1853, Samuel Jackson described the harmful effects of calomel on children in his publication for Transactions of Physicians of Philadelphia.[7] He noted that calomel had harmful effects causing gangrene on the skin, loss of teeth, and deterioration of the gums.[7] On May 4, 1863, William A. Hammond, the United States’ Surgeon-General, stated that calomel would no longer be used in the army as it was being abused by soldiers and physicians alike.[7] This caused much debate in the medical field, and eventually led to his removal as Surgeon-General.[10] Calomel continued to be used well into the 1890s and even into the early 20th century.[7] Eventually calomel’s popularity began to wane as more research was done, and scientists discovered that the mercury in the compound was poisoning patients.
Calomel was the main of the three components of the pill number 9 of the British army during the First World War. [11]
But if you REALLY want to understand the history of calomel as both a poison and a drug, this is the article you need to read.
This article totally gets it, as you can tell from the opening quote.
New drugs present greater hazards as well as greater potential benefits than ever before—for they are widely used, they are often very potent, and they are promoted by aggressive sales campaigns that may tend to overstate their merits and fail to indicate the risks involved in their use. . . There is no way of measuring the needless suffering, the money innocently squandered, and the protraction of illnesses resulting from the use of such ineffective drugs.
John F. Kennedy, in his Consumers’ Protection Message of March 15, 19621
Is the whole “Q” thing starting to make sense? Just as an aside. JFK clearly had some of the same enemies as Trump.
Anyway, this article shows how the use of mercury and arsenic compounds for medicines was controversial even from the START, with Paracelsus himself admonishing fellow alchemists not to use too much mercury in treatments.
The problem with calomel is that it’s insoluble MOST of the time, and in that state it can be used in excess, because it just flushes through the body. It’s a lot like barium sulfate – a totally safe version of highly toxic barium – in that respect. But if calomel oxidizes, or becomes impure, or otherwise emits other forms of mercury, it can be very harmful.
Thus, calomel got good results in some hands, but in the hands of other physicians, and in the bodies of other patients, it was a killer. It was easily abused, and even some of the “megadose” treatments were abusive from the git-go – to say nothing of giving it to children, and doing life-long damage.
But now, let’s look at what calomel and other mercury compounds did for syphilis. For THAT we go to another great article.
This article does a deep dive on use of mercury to treat syphilis, and does not hold back on the contention that much of the symptomology of syphilis that was seen before penicillin, was really due to mercury poisoning and NOT due to syphilis itself.
Sound familiar?
This article in particular contends that the end-stage dementia of tertiary syphilis in the West, which was observed much less frequently in certain populations like blacks, Indians, and Norwegians, who avoided mercury, was mostly due to the treatment with mercury, not syphilis.
In case you’re thinking that’s unlikely, just consider patient-killing remdesivir, which we’ve covered extensively.
Now, there IS an great academic look at the skeletons of syphilitic patients, some of whom were treated with mercury, trying to determine if mercury made things worse. The results are inconclusive, but in any case, the background material is excellent reading.
More Harm than Healing? Investigating the Iatrogenic Effects of Mercury Treatment on Acquired Syphilis in Post-medieval London.
Molly K. Zuckerman
DOI 10.1515/opar-2016-0003 Received October 26, 2015; accepted March 29, 2016
Abstract: Mercury was commonly used to treat syphilis in post-medieval Europe, but debate persists about whether it ameliorated infection or exacerbated it. As there are no in vitro studies on mercury’s effectiveness, Hg levels were characterized using an established technique, portable X-Ray Florescence Spectrometry (pXRF) in syphilitic skeletons (N=22) from six post-medieval London cemeteries. Levels were assessed against proxies for syphilitic infection severity (lesion type, episodic involvement, extent of involvement), oral health indicators, and age at death. The findings are equivocal, likely obfuscated by background poor oral health and high mortality, and cannot elucidate whether mercury ‘killed or cured’.
Keywords: syphilis, mercury, pXRF, post-medieval, London, trace element analysis, paleopathology.
The history of treatment with mercury in America serves as a strong precedent for what we are seeing now with “vaccines for everything”. The mendacity of some and the fecklessness of others regarding COVID treatments is not new – it all happened before with the mendacious and feckless medical establishment – and MERCURY.

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

And don’t forget to…….
ENJOY THE SHOW.
Thank you all for being here. Have a great weekend.
Get your rest, Trumpy Bear! You’re needed in WASHINGTON, DC!!!
Vladdy Bear and Winnie The Pooh are making Sleepy Creepy Joe look like a punching bag!
The Business At Hand
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we’re ON A ROLL.
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Gonna be quick this time.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
After his speech at CPAC, I think it’s quite clear that praying for President Trump’s return to the White House is indeed praying for our enemies, who are too messed up to realize how much better off they would be under a Trump presidency.
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
For your listening enjoyment, and general encouragement, we continue Wheatie’s tradition of fine music videos, shipped fresh from the seas of information by our intrepid authors.
Microwave Monday reminds me of this song from back in the day.
ENJOY!
This right here is the stiffest dose of teased-out 80s chick hair you are EVER going to get.
And if you want to see it with 2008 hair….
And then there’s an outdoorsy 2014 version which has a really great “live” feel…..
But how about a 2021 version with just Susanna Hoffs and a string section?
But if you’re still feeling like it’s all unfamiliar, here’s the original video!
Yeah – that’s more like it!
Call To Battle (H/T Sundance)
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
…..and now for…..
Microwave Monday
After recent discussion of Havana Syndrome, and the possibility that it involves electromagnetic radiation (and in particular microwaves), I have decided that we all need to LEVEL UP our gut-level understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum – even beyond what Steve has done with his explanation of the science behind it.
This will also help us deal with both the REALITIES and DISINFORMATION of 5G telecom.
I will be doing this by giving you all a bunch of INFOGRAPHICS to get started.
Steve got us started HERE, in his 8th science lesson on LIGHT.
You may remember some of this stuff….. (CLICK TO ENLARGE)
Let’s start breaking up that electromagnetic continuum into REGIONS that have NAMES.
You can see that microwaves lie between RADIO and INFRARED.
Let’s look even more closely at those groups.
We can even start breaking those radio and microwave regions down into BANDS that you are all familiar with.
Here you can start to get a feel for the SIZE OF THE WAVES versus objects and frequencies.
The SIZE OF WAVES and WHAT THEY AFFECT actually matters – although it’s not simple.
Megahertz, gigahertz, teraherz, and petahertz are all there.
You can really see it more easily in the following infographic.
You can easily see how we have made “radio devices” push farther and farther away from the very SAFE “radio” region, through television, mobile phones, and WiFi, closer and closer to the microwave and infrared radiation that constitutes COOKING MICROWAVES and RADIANT HEAT ITSELF.
And as you can see here, many technologies emit electromagnetic radiation – and some more than you may have realized.
So where are the 5G frequencies? Please be aware that there is constant change in this stuff, so that these infographics may be slightly out of date. Do not let that deter you – minor changes don’t NIX any issues of the basic range in which 5G operates, unless specifics of the science are given.
Use COMMON SENSE.
Let’s zoom in a bit.
Note that the above is just the US – other countries use different regions.
Here is more detail on European and US 5G.
Much of this is SQUARELY in the microwave region. From Wikipedia, we’re basically talking 300 MHz to 300 GHz.
Now let’s start looking at ALLEGED but possibly REAL health effects of EMR in the microwave region, which may VARY ACROSS THE REGION.
Remember also that DOSAGE MATTERS – like anything else.
You have to squint to see the next infographic, but look at “Biological Effect”.
It depends strongly on FREQUENCY / WAVELENGTH.
This is a very good listen. This lady is also a climate dupe, but she will get you to realize that your microwave devices may actually be doing to YOUR MEAT what microwaves normally do to YOUR MEAT, albeit at LOWER BUT LONGER DOSAGES.
This is another good one!
More of her schtick. This gal will get you to question the “harmless” narrative, just like vaccines, but try to keep some common sense. Remember – driving is a killer, too. You still want the freedom to drive?
Common sense! How do we get the BEST of both worlds?
Now I’m just going to play a bunch of their infographics. Caveat emptor! But some of this stuff is interesting and counter-intuitive. SIGNAL and NOISE matter. In more ways than one.
SO – maybe you should THINK about how to handle the devices you have!!!
But then talk back to all that stuff HERE.
Be sure to be SKEPTICAL of this SKEPTIC lady – that is an essential part of ETHICAL SKEPTICISM. We don’t want to be panicky about 5G, or believing disinformation, but we do want to treat MICROWAVES as maybe not that awesome for our health, in doses that exceed our individual sensitivity.
So BEWARE of BROAD-BRUSH SKEPTICS who downplay too much in favor of technology.
After all, we just got through a BATTLE ROYALE over disastrous mRNA technology that was advanced too fast for all the wrong reasons.
Finally, a GREAT infographic. It’s MASSIVE. I’m only showing you the small version – you have to click the link for the BIG ONE that’s easy to read down to the details.
Something stinks, and to my nose, it’s the New World Odor.
But first, a disclaimer.
I’m actually ashamed that I wanted to work for Google at one point, but I need to get that out into the open right away, lest somebody, someday, use that “gotcha” against me and think it’s actually damaging.
Heck – I even bought a variety of Google swag, back when they were small and upstarty, just like when Netscape, Firefox, various Linux brands, and other rising tech companies were once “new” and “cool”.
A lot of people once thought that Google’s motto of “Don’t be evil” was a bit of a bass-ackwards under-performer, which should have been a positive, rather than a double-negative. Not me. I realized back then that this paradoxical formulation was exactly why the motto was so ahead of the curve.
“Being good” lacks skepticism – particularly of self. “Being good” as a primary motivator is a guaranteed set-up for the primary sin of PRIDE.
“Not being evil”, in contrast, is automagically skeptical of self. And skepticism isn’t just good for science – it’s good for religion.
Yes – I think it’s clear you need both. This is part of why (IMO) Christianity always refreshes itself by going back to its Jewish roots when there are foundational questions. No matter how you slice it, we need to concern ourselves with the Law, which includes consequential negatives, because we don’t want to get rid of our saving prohibitions.
We need our Peters, but we also need our Pauls.
Thus, when Google ditched “don’t be evil”, I smelled trouble.
And what is happening now, may be evidence that Google has forgotten how to “not be evil”.
Google has made mistake after mistake since they began tampering politically with their search engine, largely during the Obama years, but to an even greater degree during the Trump years. And now, in one short year of Biden – Google has arrived at the point of adopting a policy that conflicts with the most basic principles of science.
Simone Gold, of America’s Frontline Doctors, just tweeted this.
WOW: @Google sent notice stating they will be removing the America’s Frontline Doctors website from search results.
We are a team of medical doctors who dared to speak the truth.
“Nor do we allow content from any site that contradicts or runs contrary to scientific or medical consensus and evidence-based best practices.”
Well THAT’S great. How do you think science is going to advance? YOU CHUMPS!
Let’s just save that tweet, simply to make sure that it doesn’t disappear when Twitter inevitably suspends Dr. Gold.
Note these final words from Dr. Gold.
“And we have been proven right, again and again, and again.“
Dr. Simone Gold, AFLD
Dr. Gold is not lying. Throughout COVID-19, free and independent doctors and scientists have been LEADING captive science and captive medicine against their BIASED FUNDERS AND CONTROLLERS – which clearly include GOOGLE now.
The “concensus” science has repeatedly and continuously been ABNORMALLY WRONG due to BIAS, and has required continuous correction by – very sadly – OUTSIDERS.
Science does not progress by sticking to consensus. It advances by CHALLENGE TO CONSENSUS. Google is INTERFERING with that process. SHAME!!!
In my opinion, “they” are all scared.
And the reason they’re scared it this.
Now – as insurance companies look around to see who picks up the tab for people dying from the ERRORS OF THE CONSENSUS, it sure ain’t gonna be able to pin it on the people who WARNED about the experimental vaccines.
It may indeed be that some of the blame (moral, even if not monetary) will land on those who CENSORED THE SAVING WARNINGS.
Over and over, people like Google censored us because they said that the things WE SAID were not true, and yet it turned out that the things we said WERE true, and that the consensus THEY said was true, was both WRONG and responsible for MANY DEATHS.
And THIS may be the biggest CENSORED TRUTH of all.

Here, I saved an image of a copy which was only partially destroyed by Twitter.
And here I saved the actual tweet (in two pieces).
Here is that image within the tweet, in more detail.
So what is McCullough talking about? And what is Twitter hiding?

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