“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J.

In the fog of war, as I learned from the Balkans, the first side that the sheep are told to pick is usually the wrong side, which is not to say that the other side is great – it’s just less of an immediate danger. We in the Fakely Democratic West have learned the hard way that the phony Deep State narrative is usually a lie – it just takes some precious time to unravel it.
If you go back and check my postings on both this site, and at The Conservative Treehouse, you will see that for YEARS I have likened the eternal Russia-Ukraine love-hate marriage to an outlaw biker and drug dealer (Russia) with his floozy, junkie, common-law wife (Ukraine), who are constantly fighting and making up, and perpetually trying to involve everybody else in their fight, while scamming them ALL at the same time.
So when the mini-skirt beayatch Ukie comes to your door, BEGGING for help, fingers all grabby-grabby for those “my what strong biceps you have”, the smart play is to do whatever it takes to get her out of your life as QUICKLY and CLEANLY and PERMANENTLY as possible.
When her big biker boy Russ has an invitation and then a deal that seems too good to be true, hold that thought, because it’s not only too good to be true – it will put YOU in jail and HIM selling your house. The SMART play is to get out of whatever is coming NOW, because you likely WON’T be able to get out of whatever is coming NEXT.
Don’t call me “pro-Russian” just because I think that treating Russia without hypocrisy is the right thing to do. If WE have any right to the Monroe Doctrine, then so does Russia. That doesn’t mean I trust “Russ” any more than “Ukie”, or that “Russ” picked the smartest, best, or most inspired option here. I just trust GTFO-ing their world of hurt ASAP, and doing so on PRINCIPLES is usually a move that is automatically smarter than we are, BECAUSE GOD.
After seeing the results of NATObama’s immoral, haughty, and ill-advised over-expansion folly – daring to stupidly and corruptly push NATO into even-more-corrupt Ukraine, using his favorite bag-man, Joe Biden, and Joe’s stupid son, it is absolutely clear that we have corrupt but very clever geopolitical idiots behind this mess, working for the election-stealing, virus-releasing, globalist scum who got 1000 feet beyond the tips off their skis with their idiotic “Great Reset”.
Now. I could sit here and appeal to your logic all day, and it might wake you up, but I have a special treat that will wake you up faster.
Begin by questioning Ukie’s request for a sleep-over. This will help.
Be sure to watch the SECOND video. That’s the one you need most of all to WTFU.
You really want me to get in bed with these people, Adolph? FUCK YOU.
PS – Long before this crap, I was always astonished that the Ukrainians embraced the Nazis so fervently. The idea of Jazis like Soros and Schwab never even dawned on me.
Now I look back and just see how much of a dupe and a sheep I was. Evil is far more varied and inventive than what we were tricked into believing.
Are these videos disinformation? Are they propaganda? I don’t care. You need to embrace them to begin questioning. Right or wrong, don’t be afraid of the TRUTH that will come.
By the end of this, I’m betting you will agree with my little analogy.
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

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).

1986 Global commodity prices slumped in the mid eighties Pressure from commodity exporters inspired a decision to pursue Agricultural Policy reform at Uruguay round of GATT. It was lead by Under Secretary of Agriculture Dan Amstutz. <=== A REALLY NASTY PERSON!
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.

This Manual of procedures for disease eradication by stamping out is based on The destruction of animals, Disposal procedures and Decontamination operation procedures manuals of AUSVETPLAN (second edition, 1996). AUSVETPLAN is a series of technical response plans that describe the Australian approach to an exotic animal disease incursion. The procedures are adapted in this manual to apply to eradication of foci of serious infectious diseases of domestic livestock in any country where they may occur.
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 .
Stan Painter
December 2004 Freedom of Information Act requests August 2005 Over 1000 non-compliance reports – weighing some 16 pounds — were turned over
When the Hallmark/Westland scandal broke in 2008, the agency promised Congress that FSIS inspectors would receive additional training to enforce the provisions of the HMSA. All we received was an on‐line training module that we could access on the internet to refresh our responsibilities under the Act. There was no follow‐up by the agency management to emphasize the importance of enforcing the provisions of the Act.
Stan Painter
This is a transcript of the USDA patting Stan Painter and John Munsell on the head before blowing them off: Stan Painter was not invited….”I mean I know the Agency invited Stan Painter (ph.) but unfortunately they didn’t give him his authorization code. So he’s not here. So we have no inspectors here….”
This is the Senate hearing where Stan Painter is ripped to shreds by the USDA – FSIS.
…Question. Is USDA’s investigation of union president Stan Painter retaliatory?
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…]

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

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.

(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.

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.

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…..
First of a four part series on the ongoing attack on the American Food Supply including a time line.
“In an effort to escape the continuous, racking abdominal cramping, Alex curled up into a fetal position and begged me to hold him. I stroked his face, attempting to calm him, to soothe him. I watched in horror his life hemorrhaging away in the hospital bathroom; bowl after bowl of blood and mucus gushed from his little body. Later, I helped change blood-soaked diapers that he had to wear after he could no longer stand or walk. Alex’s screams were followed by silence as the evil toxins attacked his brain causing him to lose neurological control. His eyes crossed and he suffered tremors and delusions. He no longer knew who I was.”
Nancy Donley, mother of Alex and President of Safe Tables Our Priority
The agonizing death of this little boy and many others WAS DELIBERATE. It was ‘JUST POLITICS.’ An orchestrated death, along with others, used to play up the need for legislation that moved control of the US food supply FROM AMERICAN’S INDEPENDENT FARMERS TO THE AG CARTEL OF THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.
Shielding the Giant USDA’s “Don’t Look, Don’t Know” Policytells the tale of how the USDA ALLOWED ConAgra to Poison Americans with Tainted Meat to create a crisis to get their blasted Food Safety Modernization Act through Congress. For over a decade Congresswoman Rosa Delauro (D – CT) tried to get the food safety bill through congress with no luck. So they set-up a MAJOR food poisoning event the E. coli Outbreak at the 2004 North Carolina State Fair and the MSM blasted it all over the news. I give the insider details HERE . (Slight editing to make it more readable.)
…..I know Jason Wilke of Crossroads Farm Petting Zoo, the designated fall guy for the State Fair E. coli Outbreak in North Carolina (2004). It is curious that two weeks before there was NO outbreak at the Lee County fair where he was for a week and there was no outbreak the week after at another large venue. (I personally verified with the fair committee chairs.) However during the week he stayed home prepping for the state fair, an animal rights activist who was a USDA vet, stuck a thermometer up the butt of each of his animals thanks to that one line change in the Animal Welfare Act. She also told him she wanted to close him down. These actions and words were relayed to me via phone by Jason BEFORE the fair. (He wanted to vent and moan) … CDC did over 400 tests on Jason’s animals and the only vector route was through fresh feces. Skin/fur or mouth contact did not have viable organisms. Also it was the first case where this nasty strain of e coli showed up in sheep and goats. It was confined to concentrated feed lot operations prior to that. Operations that would be inspected by a USDA vet. The four year campaign by Animal Rights Activists in North Carolina to cause a bad accident/incident at pony rides or petting farms ended abruptly the week of the fair and has not resurfaced…. HMMMmmm.
Gail Combs
I did not mention in that comment that PETA targeted me, trying to arrange animal related injuries to children 4 times in the 6 months prior to the fair. The last attempt was less than a week before the fair. I have had no incidences since then. Also Feces SINK through the shavings so a child would literally have to go digging through the shavings for the fresh feces to eat. On the other hand State Fairs use casual labor (How many were PETA?) The food vendors would likely buy hamburger from the refrigerated trailers parked on the state grounds. The vendors equipment and area would be steam cleaned long before the inspectors would go looking for someone to pin the blame on. Therefore there would be zero chance of connecting the food vendors to the outbreak.
…What bothers me the most is that there is enough “leakage” to see the clear coordination. Like the “4 walling” of food related illnesses right up until the farm regulation bill was past. Now? Nothing. Well I’m sorry, but we did not overnight go to zero food poisoning or bacterial contamination. It just reeks of either deliberate contamination to create a panic or a deliberate propaganda effort coordinated from (somewhere) central.
It bothers me to think that the governments of the world are largely in the Railroading Business, but it is looking ever more that way. Clear lines of control, influence, action “for effect”, coordinated efforts agenda driven. I’d like to think we had a free association of people and a marketplace of ideas, evolving to the best ends. The evidence argues otherwise. The UN is clearly (and states so) acting as a central coordinating and influencing body. The intent to reduce the Nation State autonomy is also quite clear. (That the Big Players have publicly stated that intent makes it easier to see…
EM was certainly correct. Prior to that final incident in 2004 John Munsell tried to alert politicians and others. In a e-mail to me he even said he had a reporter stay with him for three days, write an article for a well know NY magazine, have it approved by the editor only to have the CEO kill the article at the last minute.
“Before the tainted beef arrived — USDA-approved and vacuum-sealed – Munsell had no reason to doubt the integrity of the food-safety system. But that changed after the meat he ground for hamburger tested positive for E. coli 0157:H7. Instead of tracking the contaminated meat back to its source, the USDA launched an investigation of Munsell’s own operation. Never mind that the local federal inspector had seen the beef go straight from the package into a clean grinder — a USDA spokesman called that testimony “hearsay.” By February 2002, three more tests of meat Munsell was grinding straight from the package came back positive. This time, as he would later testify in a government hearing, he had paperwork documenting that the beef came from a single source: ConAgra:
Munsell fired off an angry email to the district USDA manager, warning of a potential public-health emergency, and adding that if no one tracked down the rest of the bad meat, “both of us should share a cell in Alcatraz.” The agency moved immediately and aggressively — not to recall meat from Greeley, but to shut down Munsell’s grinding operation, a punishment that lasted four months. Despite Munsell’s continued whistleblowing — to Senator Conrad Burns (R-Mont.), national cattle associations, and his fellow meat processors — the USDA failed to address the alleged contamination at ConAgra’s Greely Plant. Then, in July 2002, Munsell’s worst fears came true. E. coli-tainted burger from Greeley killed an Ohio woman and sickened at least 35 others. ConAgra then recalled 19 million pounds of beef, one of the largest recalls in history.”
But again nothing was done. The switch from the ‘safest food in the world’ to feces laced hamburger can be traced to the switch from hands on USDA food inspection to HACCP, a new system where inspectors no longer inspect FOOD, they inspect PAPERWORK. John Munsell does a great job of explaining the change in:
Unfortunately there are just too of many “incidents” that have been handled in such a way that transnational corporations are not “inconvenienced”. Stanley Painter, Chairman of the National Food Inspection Unions, stated in his testimony at the congressional hearing on the Hallmark Dower Cows:
“..when we see violations of FSIS regulations,.. we are instructed not to write non-compliance reports… Sometimes even if we write non-compliance reports, some of the larger companies use their political muscle to get those overturned….Some of mymembers have been intimidated by agency management in the past when they came forward and tried to enforce agency regulations and policies. I will give you a personal example: [SRM removal regulations concern brain and spine removal to prevent BSE] …
In December 2004, I began to receive reports that the new SRM regulations were not being uniformly enforced. I wrote a letter to the Assistant FSIS Administrator for Field Operations at the time conveying to him what I had heard…I was paid a visit at my home in Alabama by an FSIS official dispatched from the Atlanta regional office to convince me to drop the issue. I told him that I would not.
Then, the agency summoned me to come here to Washington, DC where agency officials subjected me to several hours of interrogation including wanting me to identify which of my members were blowing the whistle on the SRM removal violations. I refused to do so….I was then placed on disciplinary investigation status. The agency even contacted the USDA Office of Inspector General to explore criminal charges being filed against me…
Both my union AFGE and the consumer group Public Citizen filed separate Freedom of Information Act requests in December 2004 for any non-compliance records in the FSIS data base…. It was not until August 2005 that over 1000 non-compliance reports – weighing some 16 pounds — were turned over to both AFGE and Public Citizen that proved that what my members were telling me was correct – that some beef slaughter facilities were not complying with the SRM removal regulations… on the same day those records were released, I received written notification from the agency that they were dropping their disciplinary investigation – eight months after their “investigation” began.
When the act failed to pass under the sponsorship of Democrat Rosa Delauno, the Act was then CO-SPONSORED by Senator Burr (R – NC) I go through some of the ramifications of that law HERE. The KEY is the Ag Cartel controlled World trade Organization would determine the rules US farmers would have to live by.
SEC. 404. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS. Nothing in this Act (or an amendment made by this Act) shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the agreement establishing the World Trade Organization or any other treaty or international agreement to which the United States is a party.
….Spend hours out of your working day filling in endless forms, filing maps and measuring every last inch of your fields, tracks and farmsteads; applying for ‘passports’ for your cattle and ear tags for your sheep and pigs; re-siting the slurry pit and putting stainless steel and washable tiles on the dairy walls; becoming versed in HASAP hygiene and sanitary rules and applying them where any food processing was to take place; and living under the threat of convictions and fines should one put a finger out of place or be late in supplying some official details…
Sir Julian Rose
Do not forget that Bush signed a treaty to HARMONIZE US laws with that of the EU.
“In a sweeping move that has garnered surprisingly little attention this week the United States and the European Union have signed up to a new transatlantic economic partnership that will see regulatory standards “harmonized” and will lay the basis for a merging of the US and EU into one single market, a huge step on the path to a new globalized world order.” The BBC reported from the Summit in Washington on Monday….
The harmonization of laws, regulations and standards between and among trading partners requires intense, complex, time-consuming negotiations by CFSAN officials. Harmonization must simultaneously facilitate international trade and promote mutual understanding, while protecting national interests and establish a basis to resolve food issues on sound scientific evidence in an objective atmosphere. Failure to reach a consistent, harmonized set of laws, regulations and standards within the freetrade agreements and the World Trade Organization Agreements can result in considerable economic repercussions.
FDA
The international Ag Cartel was the driving force behind the Agreement on Agriculture, HACCP and the doubling of Food Borne illnesses. I did the graphs for a presentation before congress showing the five years before HACCP and the five years after. The USDA responded just as the DOD is now. ‘OH the first five years didn’t capture ALL the food borne illness. We switched to a different system where the reports (MANDATORY BY LAW) can be emailed instead of Faxed or sent by mail.’
This doubling of food borne illness, well hyped by the media, was used to justify the new law, the Food Safety Modernization Act, REGULATING farming (not the corporate processing plants.) These new regulations are meant to be used to kill off US independent farmers.
Again the USDA and the FDA LIED. They stated there had been no up date to our food safety system AFTER they had already implemented HACCP allowing the Ag cartel to inspect themselves.
In September, 1995, USDA’s Food Safety & Inspection Service presented a 600-page document Farm-To-Table – control of every step in the food chain from production to home preparation.
For plants with more than one process (meaning more than one HACCP program), verification activities would be scheduled to ensure that all HACCP plans are covered at least once a month. Compliance over time would mean less frequent verification.
Some key steps:
Verification – Inspector checks to see that the plant is doing what is in its process control or HACCP plan. This may last several hours or perhaps one day.
Validation – FSIS evaluates the plant’s HACCP plan to be certain it is appropriate and works for the product and process covered. A target frequency for validation audit would be at least once every two years for every HACCP plan. This is likely to involve an FSIS out-of-plant technical person or team and take several days to a week, but will occur on site…
Steve Krut, American Association of Meat Processors
The Grain Trader Dan Amstutz, Who wrote the Draft of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture was VP of Cargill (grain) and then moved to Goldman Sachs (How Goldman Sachs Created the Food Crisis- with it’s entry into the commodities market) He originally worked in the department of Ag under Reagan but his draft Agreement on Ag and Draft farm bill was passed under Clinton.
The author Nicole Johnson takes us through how a Milner Round Table, the Committee for Economic Development (CED), intentionally changed the US agriculture system from a decentralized system to the vertically integrated system favored by the Ag cartel.
The human cost of CED’s plans were exacting and enormous.
CED’s plans resulted in widespread social upheaval throughout rural America, ripping apart the fabric of its society destroying its local economies. They also resulted in a massive migration to larger cities. The loss of a farm also means the loss of identity, and many farmers’ lives ended in suicide.
CED members were influential in business, government, and agricultural colleges, and their outlook shaped both governmental policies and what farmers were taught. Farmers found themselves encouraged to give up on a farming system that employed minimal outsourced inputs and capital and get “efficient” by adopting instead a system that required they go into debt in order to purchase ever more costly inputs, like fossil-fuel based fertilizers, chemicals, seeds, feed grain, and machinery. The local, decentralized food distribution networks that were previously in place became subject to corporate buyouts, vertical integration and consolidation, leaving farmers with fewer and fewer outlets to sell their goods.
With this consolidation of grain handlers, railways, food processing, meat packing, brewing and beverage makers, cereal makers, food retailers and restaurants, more and more of the food dollar went to processors and retailers, which gained increased market power. Farmers, meanwhile, were and continue to be squeezed on both ends: by input suppliers putting upward pressure on selling prices and by output buyers exerting downward pressure on their buying prices.
This analysis is confirmed by the Keystone Center, an establishment think tank with representatives on its board from Monsanto, DuPont, Shell, Coca-Cola, Dow, General Electric and the Rockefeller Foundation, to name a few. The organization’s 2001 report “The Keystone National Policy Dialogue on Trends in Agriculture” observes that “Agricultural policy in many respects supported the concentration of farming into larger and fewer units. Some would say agricultural policy is biased toward bigness.”
Home Gardens ARE covered in case you are wondering..
“..FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITY- The term ‘food production facility’ means any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation…”
There is NO exemption for instate commerce, for hobby farms, for you backyard garden.
“ The Administrator, in order to protect the public health, shall establish a national traceability system that enables the Administrator to retrieve the history, use, and location of an article of food through all stages of its production, processing, and distribution. set good practice standards to protect the public and animal health and promote food safety;
conduct monitoring and surveillance of animals, plants, products, or the environment, as appropriate
require each food production facility to have a written food safety plan that describes the likely hazards and preventive controls implemented to address those hazards;
include, with respect to growing, harvesting, sorting, and storage operations, minimum standards related to fertilizer use, nutrients, hygiene, packaging, temperature controls, animal encroachment, and water”
Notice it does not say a person SELLING food, it says a person holds, stores, or transports food or food ingredients. This is very scary given Ag Sec. Venman’s ” September, 1995, USDA’s Food Safety & Inspection Service presented a 600-page document Farm-To-Table – control of every step in the food chain from production to home preparation. “
Also included is this. “in any action to enforce the requirements of the food safety law, the connection with interstate commerce required for jurisdiction SHALL BE PRESUMED TO EXIST.” The fact you are growing veggies for you and friends does not exclude you!
….Lori Robertson of FactCheck.org, who is not a lawyer (she has a B.A. in advertising), claims the bill doesn’t apply to “that tomato plant in your backyard.” As a lawyer, I am skeptical of this claim (I co-represented the prevailing defendant in the last successful constitutional challenge to federal regulation under the interstate commerce clause…
….Ignorance about the law’s broad reach (and how it will be construed by the courts) has thwarted opposition to the bill, which will likely pass Congress. For example, a newspaper claims the bill “doesn’t regulate home gardens.” The newspaper probably assumed that was true because the bill, like most federal laws, only purports to reach activities that affect “interstate commerce.” To an uninformed layperson or journalist, that “sounds as if it might not reach local and mom-and-pop operators at all.” (The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, has sought to forestall opposition to her bill by falsely claiming that that “the Constitution’s commerce clause prevents the federal government from regulating commerce that doesn’t cross state lines.”)
But lawyers familiar with our capricious legal system know better. The Supreme Court ruled in Wickard v. Filburn (1942) that even home gardens (in that case, a farmer’s growing wheat for his own consumption) are subject to federal laws that regulate interstate commerce. Economists and scholars have criticized this decision, but it continues to be cited and followed in Supreme Court rulings, such as those applying federal anti-drug laws to consumption of even home-grown medical marijuana. Indeed, many court decisions allow Congress to define as “interstate commerce” even non-commercial conduct that doesn’t cross state lines — something directly at odds with Rep. DeLauro’s claims.

“Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none have been more effectual than that which deludes them with paper money. This is the most effectual of inventions to fertilize the rich man’s field by the sweat of the poor man’s brow. Ordinary tyranny, oppression, excessive taxation — these bear lightly on the happiness of the mass of the community compared with fraudulent currencies and the robberies committed by depreciated paper. Our own history has recorded for our instruction enough, and more than enough, of the demoralizing tendency, the injustice, and the intolerable oppression, on the virtuous and well disposed, of a degraded paper currency, authorized by law, or in any way countenanced by government.”
Daniel Webster (1782 -1852) Statement to the Senate in 1832
With encouragement from Senators Clay and Daniel Webster, Mr Nicholas Biddle, then President of the Second Bank of the United States, applied for a renewal of the Bank’s charter in 1832. President Jackson vetoed the renewal, stating “. . . It appears that more than a fourth part of the stock is held by foreigners and the residue is held by a few hundred of our citizens, chiefly of the richest class. . .” LINK
So it should not surprising that Senator Aldrich (R) read that Webster quote at a New York City dinner speech on October 15, 1913 on the eve of the passage of the Federal Reserve Act. He was NOT advocating AGAINST a Fractional Reserve Currency but rather FOR IT! — SEE: aIV Proceedings of the Academy of Political Science #1, at 38 (Columbia University, New York (1914))
For those who might not know the history of Fractional Reserve Banking see: The Magic of Fractional Banking. In essence it is counterfeiting.
One of the biggest victories achieved by modern economists and modern central bankers is changing the definition of inflation. Inflation used to mean an increase in the money supply – full stop.
Money is metal coins, currency (Bank IOUs) and credit (fairy dust created out of thin air) or even beads and obsidian arrowheads. Money needs to be durable, accepted and dividable which is why precious metals were often the choice.
Money is a generally accepted, recognized, and centralized medium of exchange in an economy that is used to facilitate transactional trade for goods and services.
Capitalism is a private individual’s wealth, labor and resources reinvested to produce more wealth.
Capitalism is an economic system in which capital goods are owned by private individuals or businesses. The production of goods and services is based on supply and demand in the general market.
E.M. Smith aka Chiefio, who trained as an economist, gets into the definition of capitalism and other definitions surrounding capitalism: Monopoly, Monopsony, Oligopoly, Collusion And Economics 1“Evil Socialism” vs “Evil Capitalism” is a short comment by EM describing the continuum between straight capitalism and Communism.
One of the best explanations of the Federal Reserve is by G Edward Griffin. A Talk by G. Edward Griffin-The Creature from Jekyll Island. Unfortunately Griffin is a member of the John Birch Society and is therefore attacked on that basis by the defenders of the Fed. So I am presenting more rigorous sources.
Some of the most frank evidence on banking practices was given by Graham F. Towers, Governor of the Central Bank of Canada (from 1934 to 1955), before the Canadian Government’s Committee on Banking and Commerce, in 1939… Most of the evidence quoted was the result of interrogation by Mr. “Gerry” McGeer, K.C., a former mayor of Vancouver, who clearly understood the essentials of central banking. Here are a few excerpts:
Q. But there is no question about it that banks create the medium of exchange? Mr. Towers: That is right. That is what they are for… That is the Banking business, just in the same way that a steel plant makes steel. (p. 287) The manufacturing process consists of making a pen-and-ink or typewriter entry on a card in a book. That is all. (pp. 76 and 238) Each and every time a bank makes a loan (or purchases securities), new bank credit is created — new deposits — brand new money. (pp. 113 and 238) Broadly speaking, all new money comes out of a Bank in the form of loans. As loans are debts, then under the present system all money is debt. (p. 459)
Q. When $1,000,000 worth of bonds is presented (by the government) to the bank, a million dollars of new money or the equivalent is created? Mr. Towers: Yes.
Q. Is it a fact that a million dollars of new money is created? Mr. Towers: That is right.
Q. Now, the same thing holds true when the municipality or the province goes to the bank? Mr. Towers: Or an individual borrower.
Q. Or when a private person goes to a bank? Mr. Towers: Yes.
Q. When I borrow $100 from the bank as a private citizen, the bank makes a bookkeeping entry, and there is a $100 increase in the deposits of that bank, in the total deposits of that bank? Mr. Towers: Yes. (p. 238)
Q. Mr. Towers, when you allow the merchant banking system to issue bank deposits which, with the practice of using the cheques as we have it in vogue today, constitutes the medium of exchange upon which I think 95 per cent of our public and private business is transacted, you virtually allow the banks to issue an effective substitute for money, do you not? Mr. Towers: The bank deposits are actual money in that sense, yes.
Q. In that sense they are actual money, but, as a matter of fact, they are not actual money but credit, bookkeeping accounts, which are used as a substitute for money? Mr. Towers: Yes.
Q. Then we authorize the banks to issue a substitute for money? Mr. Towers: Yes, I think that is a very fair statement of banking. (p. 285)
“Banks typically have 3% of their assets in cash in order to meet customer needs. Since 1960, banks have been allowed to use this “vault cash” to satisfy their reserve requirements. Today, bank reserve requirements have fallen to the point where they are now exceeded by vault cash, which means lowering reserve requirements to zero would have virtually no impact on the banking system. US banks are already operating free of any reserve constraints. The graph below shows reserve requirements falling to zero over the last fifty years….”
E.M. Smith and other economists, such as Steve Bannon and those he has on the War Room as well as other financial experts are trained (and believe in) Keynesian Economics (IMF.) I prefer Mises and have had arguments with E.M to that effect. (He has started to come around a bit.) It should be noted that Communist spy Harry Dexter Whiteof the US Treasury and Fabian Socialist John Maynard Keyne are the two who saddled the world with the IMF and World Bank via the 1944 Bretton Woods system. I mentioned recently Structural Adjustment Policies, the noose the IMF & World Bank Banksters put around the neck of countries that go bankrupt. There is another Economic Philosophy not connected to the Communists and Fabian Socialists. It was developed by Mises.
This is very long so I want to highlight a few critical points.
#1. Because money is not capital, he [Mises] concluded that an increase of the money supply confers no identifiable social value. If you fail to understand this point, you will not be able to understand the rest of Mises’s theory of money. On this assessment of the value of money, his whole theory of money hinges.
An increase in the quantity of money can no more increase the welfare of the members of a community, than a diminution of it can decrease their welfare. Regarded from this point of view, those goods that are employed as money are indeed what Adam Smith called them, “dead stock, which . . . produces nothing”
#2. New money does not appear magically in equal percentages in all people’s bank accounts or under their mattresses. [New] Money spreads unevenly, and this process has varying effects on individuals, depending on whether they receive early or late access to the new money.
It is these losses of the groups that are the last to be reached by the variation in the value of money which ultimately constitute the source of the profits made by the mine owners and the groups most closely connected with them
[This is a critical point and the reason Bankers can steal our wealth]
This indicates a fundamental aspect of Mises’s monetary theory that is rarely mentioned: the expansion or contraction of money is a zero-sum game. Mises did not use this terminology, but he used the zero-sum concept. Because the free market always maximizes the utility of the existing money supply, changes in the money supply inescapably have the characteristic features of a zero-sum game. Some individuals are made better off by an increase in the money supply; others are made worse off. The existing money is an example of a “fixed pie of social value.” Adding to the money supply does not add to its value.
MISES ON GOLD
…the attempt by modern governments to regulate in any way an international gold standard is always a political ruse to undermine its anti-inflationary bias. “The international gold standard works without any action on the part of governments. It is effective real cooperation of all members of the world-embracing market community. . . . What governments call international monetary cooperation is concerted action for the sake of credit expansion”
“Now, the gold standard is not a game, but a social institution. Its working does not depend on the preparedness of any people to observe arbitrary rules. It is controlled by the operation of inexorable economic law” (p. 462)…..
. . . The role played by ingots in the gold reserves of the banks is a proof that the monetary standard consists in the precious metal, and not in the proclamation of the authorities (p. 67).
In order to effect the acceptance of fiat money or credit money, the State adopts a policy of the abolition of its previous contractual obligations. What was previously a legal right of full convertability into either gold or silver coins is abolished by a new law. The State removes the individual’s legal right to exchange the State’s paper notes for gold or silver coins. It then declares that the new, inconvertible fiat paper money or bank credit money is equal in value to the older redeemable notes, meaning equal to the value of the actual coins previously obtainable through redemption. But the free market determines otherwise. The two forms of money are not equal in value in the judgment of the market’s individual participants. Gresham’s law is still obeyed….
Gresham’s law
The State can set legal prices, meaning exchange ratios, between the various kinds of money. The effects of such fixed exchange rates are identical to the effects of any other kind of price control: gluts and shortages. The artificially overvalued money (glut) replaces the artificially undervalued money (shortage). This cause-and-effect relationship is called Gresham’s law.
MONEY:
Mises therefore defined money as the most marketable commodity. “It is the most marketable good which people accept because they want to offer it in later acts of impersonal exchange” (Human Action, p. 401.).
Money serves as a transmitter of value through time because certain goods serve as media of exchange.
Money transmits value, Mises taught, but money does not measure value. This distinction is fundamental in Mises’s theory of money.
Mises was adamant: there is no measure of economic value.
….Mises concluded that money is neither a consumption good nor a capital good. He argued that production and consumption are possible without money (p. 82). Money facilitates both production and consumption, but it is neither a production good nor a consumption good. Money is therefore a separate analytical category.
“It is illegitimate to compare the part played by money in production with that played by ships and railways. Money is obviously not a ‘commercial tool’ in the same sense as account books, exchange lists, the Stock Exchange, or the credit system”
Because money is not capital, he concluded that an increase of the money supply confers no identifiable social value. If you fail to understand this point, you will not be able to understand the rest of Mises’s theory of money. On this assessment of the value of money, his whole theory of money hinges….
This theory regarding the impact that changes in the money supply have on social value is the basis of everything that follows. Mises offered here a unique assessment of the demand for money. He implied here that an individual’s demand for production goods or consumption goods, when met by increased production, confers an increase in social value or social welfare.
If a producer benefits society by increasing the production of a non-monetary good, later finding a buyer, then society is benefitted because there are at least two winners and no losers.
Therefore, if a producer of gold and a buyer of gold both benefit from an exchange – which they do, or else they would not trade – yet society receives no social benefit, then the analyst has to conclude that some other members of society have been made, or will be made, worse off by the increase in the money supply. This analysis would also apply to decreases in the money supply.
There are two conceptually related issues here: (1) money as a separate analytical category, neither a consumption good nor a production good; (2) changes in the money supply as conveying neither an increase nor decrease in social value.
With that as a background in economics, we look at the Federal Reserve Bank through the eyes of Congressman Wright Patman (D) in 1964 before President Nixon had to close the gold window.
Again this is very long, which is why I have posted excerpts. However if you want to understand our Central Banking System this is a very good document to read.
President Lincoln said :
“Money is the creature of law, and the creation of the original issue of money should be maintained as an exclusive monopoly of the National Government. The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of the Government, it is the Government’s greatest opportunity.” [pg 16]
This is very important. Although US citizens can not exchange Federal Reserve notes for treasury gold, official and semi official foreign banks can.
Behind the Federal Reserve notes is the credit of the U.S. Government. If you happen to have a $5, $10, or $20 Federal Reserve note, you will notice across the top of the bill a printed statement of the fact that the US government promises to pay not the Federal Reserve promises to pay. Nevertheless most Americans to do not understand what the US Government promises to pay: American citizens holding these notes cannot demand anything for them except (a) they can be exchanged for other Federal Reserve notes or (b) that they be accepted in payment of taxes and all debts public and private. Certain official or semiofficial foreign banks may exchange any “dollar credits” they may hold-that is, deposits with the commercial banks-for an equal amount of the Treasury’s gold. Americans themselves may not exchange them for gold . [pg 19]
Of the 19 Federal Reserve officials 12 are elected by bankers so HOW the money supply is increase and WHO gets the interest on the US treasury bonds can get very interesting.
The Federal Reserve officials can always decide to create a large portion of any increase in the money supply themselves, though, of course, a larger portion of the supply will always be provided by the private banks under present law. Still the larger portion of Reserve-created money, the more the U.S. Treasury benefits-because all income of the Federal Reserve after expenses reverts to the Treasury. Thus the Treasury receives a good share of the income earned from the Government securities purchased in Reserve money-creating operations.
On the other hand, if the Federal Reserve officials decide that the increase in the money supply they want is all, or substantially all, to be made by the private banks, the private banks acquire and hold more Government securities than in the first case, and the interest payments on these securities go into bank profits. So, whether the Federal Reserve officials decide to favor the U.S. Treasury or the private banks does make a difference-millions of dollars of difference-in the amount of taxes you, I, and all other taxpayers must pay. After all, one of the biggest items of expense of the Federal Government is the interest it must pay on its debt. [pg 36]
[JUMPING FORWARD IN TIME]
“…Although the money in the Federal Reserve is not in anyway “owned” by private banks they get paid interest on it…. In its latest power play, on October 3, 2008, the Fed acquired the ability to pay interest to its member banks on the reserves the banks maintain at the Fed. Reuters reported on October 3:”
“The U.S. Federal Reserve gained a key tactical tool from the $700 billion financial rescue package signed into law on Friday that will help it channel funds into parched credit markets. Tucked into the 451-page bill is a provision that lets the Fed pay interest on the reserves banks are required to hold at the central bank.”
[An incorrect but ] typical explanation runs this way: John Jones deposits $100 in cash with his bank. The bank is required to keep, say, 20 percent of its deposits in reserves, so the bank must deposit $20 of this $100 as reserves, with a Federal Reserve bank. The bank is free to use the other $80, however, to make loans to customers or invest in securities. The expansion of money thus begins. This kind of explanation not only leads to misunderstanding, it also leads to misguided Government policies and rather constant agitation on the part of bankers for other such policies. Many of the smaller bankers who are, on the whole, not as well versed with the mechanics of the money system as they might be, actually believe that they have deposited a portion of their money, or their depositors’ money, with the Federal Reserve. Thus they feel they are being denied the opportunity to make profitable use of this money. Accordingly, there is always agitation to have the Federal Reserve pay the banks interest on this money which they think they have “deposited” with the Federal Reserve.
Furthermore, they are quite certain that the Federal Reserve System has “used” their money to acquire the Government securities which the Federal Reserve may buy in the process of reserve creation. Believing this, the bankers naturally feel that they are entitled to some share of the tremendous profits which the System receives from interest payments on its Government securities. Many bankers know better. The leaders of the bankers’ associations certainly do. But some of these leaders have not hesitated to play on general ignorance and misunderstanding to mobilize the whole banking community behind drives that are nothing but attempts to raid the Public Treasury.
The truth is, however, that the Private banks, collectively, have deposited not a penny of their own funds, or their depositors funds, with the Federal Reserve banks. The impression that they do so arises from the fact that reserves, once created, can be, and are, transferred back and forth from one bank to another, as one bank gains deposits and another loses deposits. [pg 37]
Under Secretary of the Treasury Robert V. Roosa, formerly a Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, while testifying before the House Committee on Banking and Currency in 1960, described the misconception as follows:
“There is another misconception which occurs much more frequently-that is, the banks think that they give us the reserves on which we operate and that, too, is a misconception. We encounter that frequently, and, as you know, we create those reserves under the authority that has been described here.”
The writer [Wright Patman] has had a couple of personal experiences which ‘have provided some amusing confirmation of the fact that the source of bank reserves is not deposits of cash by the member banks with the Federal Reserve banks. having seen reports that the Federal Reserve System had, on a given date, Government securities amounting to a proximately $28 billion, I went on one occasion to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York where these securities are supposed to be housed, and asked if I might be allowed to see them. The officials of this bank said, yes, they would be glad to show them to me; whereupon they opened the vaults and let me look at, and even hold in my hand, the large mound of Government securities which they claimed to have and which, in fact, they did have.
Since I had also seen reports that the member banks of the Federal Reserve System had a certain number of millions of dollars in “cash reserves” on deposit with the Federal Reserve bank, I then asked if I might be allowed to see these cash reserves. This time my question was met with some looks of surprise; the bank officials then patiently explained to me that there were no cash reserves. The cash, in truth, does not exist and never has existed. [pg 38]
When the Federal Reserve purchases a $1 million Government bond and gives some bank credit for $1 million in its reserve account, that bank also credits the bond dealer’s checking account with $1 million. I n other words, to acquire $1 million of reserves, the bank also assumes a liability to pay its customers $1 million. If the transactions stopped here, the bank would, of course, come out even, neither gaining anything nor losing anything. But the fact that there is now $1.million more of bank reserves than existed before means that the private banks as a group can create $6 million more money than existed before. In other words, by acquiring this $1 million more in bank reserves, the private banks have the privilege of creating another $6 million of bank deposits, in the process of which they acquire $6 million in interest-bearing securities or loan paper, less an allowance for leakage into the cash (currency) balances of the public. [pg 43]
What amount of Government securities have the private banks acquired with bank-created money?
On January 31, 1964, all commercial banks in this country owned $62.7 billion in U.S. Government securities. The banks have acquired these securities with bank-created money. In other words, the (banks have used the Federal Government’s power to create money without charge to lend $62.7 billion to the Government at interest.
On January 29, 1964, commercial banks had total assets amounting to $304.7 billion, and all of these had been paid for with bank-created money, except $25.4 billion which had been paid for with their stockholders’ capital. In other words, less than 10 percent of the banks’ assets have been acquired with money invested by stockholders in the banks. [pg 46]
The make-up of the Federal Reserve Directors changed in favor of the bankers
The Federal Open Market Committee. There are 19 participants in this powerful body, 7 appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate of the United States. Once appointed, however, a man serves for a period of 14 years, and cannot be removed by the President or by any other official body, except for cause. The other 12 men in this select group are elected to their places through the votes of private commercial bankers. there are 12 voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee. The voting members consist of 7 members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, plus some 5 of the 12 Federal Reserve bank residents. [pg 65]
Because of this, the balance of power over the money supply lay securely, it was thought, with the public side of the System through authority of the Board of Governors. But when the move toward the alternative open-market technique of control was given legislative blessing by Congress in 1933 and 1935 and a full-fledged central bank thereby created the balance shifted radically toward the private, commercial banking side of the System. [pg 72]

“ownership” of the fed reserve: Confusion due to stock and elected board members: The position of the Federal Reserve officials thus seems to be clear :
The Federa1 Reserve banks are not owned by the commercial banks. The viewpoint of the individuals quoted above has also been borne out by the presidents of the Federal Reserve banks in hearings before the House Banking and Currency Committee. However, officials of the Federal Reserve banks are sometimes inclined to take the opposite position. [pg 78]
Do bankers believe that they own the Federal Reserve banks. Yes. [100% of the “stock” is owned by the private banks. Also after instigating “the Accord” It was later revealed by testimony of some of the Federal Reserve officials to committees of Congress that the Open Market Committee had held a meeting on August 18 and decided not only to raise the discount rate, but to “go their own way” on the Government longer term bond rate as well, despite what the President, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the head of the Office of Defense Mobilization might do”….Therefore the Federal Reserve is not answerable to the President or Congress or the electorate, nor even to a government audit or even Congressional funding!]
The original act required that the banks invest 6 percent of their capital stock in the Federal Reserve banks.
Why was the Federal Reserve Act written to require member banks to invest in the so-called stock of the Federal Reserve banks?
The framers of the Federal Reserve Act gave many reasons, but the main, reason was this: it was expected that the Federal Reserve would issue money, not mainly against Government securities as is now the practice, but against commercial and industrial loan paper-“eligible paper” as the reader knows.
It was in view of these considerations that Congress, in framing the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, required member banks of the Federal Reserve System to put a certain percentage of their capital into the .’stock” of the Federal Reserve banks; this “stock” was a safeguard against a misuse of the Government’s credit which was being delegated to these banks. The 1013 act placed on the member banks, furthermore, a “double liability” for their “stock” in the Federal Reserve banks. In other words, if a Federal Reserve bank failed, the member banks would lose not only their invested capital, but an equal amount of capital which they would also forfeit. [pg 79]
The 1933 act also prohibited commercial banks from making stock market loans, and investment banks from accepting public deposits. This was an effort to prevent a wave of stock market speculation like that of the twenties by keeping commercial banking and investment banking separate and distinct. [pg 84] [Clinton got rid of that and other limits on the banks.]
What changes were made the Banking Act of 1935?
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was made permanent, and the Board of Governors was given power to change reserve requirements. The act of 1935 had other important revisions :
(1) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System was changed. Membership no longer included the Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller of the Currency, and the number of members was cut from nine to seven. The name, the Federal Reserve Board, was changed to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The reorganized Board, with its increased powers really gave us a central bank for the first time, in place of a system of individual Federal Reserve banks which were largely on their own.
(2) Also of primary importance in creating a true central bank was the establishment of the Federal Open Market Committee to determine purchases and sales of Government securities for the entire System.
(3) Another change made by the 1935 act related to loans of the Federal Reserve banks. This act allowed the Federal Reserve banks to extend reserve bank credit on any type of credit which the commercial bank possessed.
4 ) The 1935 act also contained provisions concerning regulation of bank holding companies. [Pg 84]
Private banks enjoy a very special relationship with the Federal Government. After all, most business firms employ private capital or privately owned resources to produce a product or provide a service which can be profitably sold in the marketplace. Most business firms pay for the raw materials and services they receive, and, furthermore, in the case of most kinds of business firms, the business itself is a risk-taking venture. The firm succeeds or fails in competition with other business firms.
But the conditions under which private banks operate are very different. In the first place, one of the major functions of the private commercial banks is to create money. A large portion of bank profits come from the fact that the banks do create money. And, as we have pointed out, banks create money without cost to themselves, in the process of lending or investing in securities such a Government bonds. Bank profits come from interest on the money lent and invested, while the cost of creating money is negligible. (Banks do incur costs, of course, from bookkeeping to loan officers’ salaries.) The power to create money has been delegated, or loaned, by Congress to the private banks for their free use. There is no charge.
On the contrary, this is but one of the many ways the Government subsidizes the private banking system and protects it from competition. The Government, through the Federal Reserve System, provides a huge subsidy through the free services the System provides for member banks. “Check clearing” is one of the services; i.e., the collection and payment of funds due one bank from another because of depositors’ use of their checkbook money. The costs of this service alone runs into scores of millions of dollars.
The gross expenses of the combined Federal Reserve banks totaled $207 million in 1963, most of which was incurred as a cost of providing free services to the private banks. Other Federal agencies also receive services from the Federal Reserve. But these are not free. The System received about $20 million for “fiscal agency and other expenses” in 1963.
In addition, the Federal Government provides private banks with a large measure of protection from competition, and the hazards of failure. … This means, in brief, that nobody can enter the banking business by opening a national bank, unless the proposed bank is to be located where it will not cause an inconvenient amount of competition to other banks already in business. [pg 89]
In mid-August of 1950, however, the Federal Reserve raised the discount rate and short-term Treasury bills jumped toward 11/2 percent, although there were requests from the Secretary of the Treasury and the President for the System to continue a low-rate policy. It was later revealed by testimony of some of the Federal Reserve officials to committees of Congress that the Open Market Committee had held a meeting on August 18 and decided not only t o raise the discount rate, but to “go their own way” on the Government longer term bond rate as well, despite what the President, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the head of the Office of Defense Mobilization might do…. Since the signing of the so-called accord, in March of 1951, this event has been widely interpreted as an understanding, reached between the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, that the Federal Reserve would henceforth be “independent.” It would no longer ” peg Government bond prices. It would raise or lower interest rates as it might see fit, as a means of trying to prevent inflation or deflation.
These are understandings which have been grafted onto the accord over the years. Certainly, no such understandings were universal at the time the accord was signed. ….
At the end of 1951, then, the Federal Reserve had both self-proclaimed independence, as a result of the accord, and an operational policy which aimed at maximum credit effects through minimum changes in interest rates….. the Federal Reserve people were quite sure that they could do a better job of running the country than the President, and with only slight increases in interest rates. …
It then added another string to its bow- the “bills only” policy. … Henceforth when the Treasury issued bonds or medium-term securities, it was to dump these issues on the market and watch the natural consequences-first a drop in bond prices, then a gradual recovery as the market absorbed the bonds. Any private rigging or manipulations of the market were to go without interference from the Federal Reserve, as were any speculative booms or panics short of a “disorderly” market. The “bil1s-only” policy had only one reservation: The Federal Reserve would buy long-term bonds in the event that the Open Market Committee made a findings that the market was disorderly. [ full details starting on pg 103]
The [Eisenhower ] administration announced at the outset that it would re1y on monetary policy exclusive1y for its economic regulation and would respect the complete independence of the Federal Reserve to carry out these policies as it saw fit …..
Thirteen years have now passed since the accord and the liberation of the Federal Reserve. What have been the results? The major result is shockingly obvious. Interest rates have climbed steadily, with slight interruptions, during the entire post accord period. (See table 3.) The period has been marked, then, by a continual shift of income to the banks, other major financial institutions, and individuals with significant interest income. The rest of the country provided this income. …
Another result of post accord monetary policy is that the U.S. economy has unwittingly become a low investment economy… The Federal Reserve has chosen the high interest, slower growth option for this country.
In fiscal year 1963, the U S Government paid out approximately $10 billion as interest on the national debt. The budget deficit for the same year was $8.8 billion. Much political hay was made with the deficit. It was potential inflationary dynamite, ran the ”no deficit” claim. And these same people strongly supported tighter money and higher interest rates to prevent the otherwise inevitable inflationary explosion. Yet if these people were really worried about the deficit they should have been rabid partisans of a low-interest policy. For it can be shown that last year’s deficit would have been $5 billion less if the Government had not been forced by Federal Reserve policy to pay increasingly more on its outstanding debt. I n fact, the total national debt would now be $40 billion less if the interest rates of the early 1940’s had prevailed in the postwar period.
Moreover, the system eludes even the audit control exercised by the General Accounting Office, whose function it is to make sure that other Federal agencies not only handle their financial affairs properly but also pursue policies and practices that are in accord with the law. The system provides for its own auditing; clutching its mantle of independence, it has stoutly resisted repeated congressional suggestions that the General Accounting Office perform an annual audit.[ pg 121]
Congress has never given authority for determining monetary policy to the Federal Reserve System-and certainly not to a committee within the System containing members who owe their selection to private bank interests. This basic authorization has not been changed by any amendments to the Federal Reserve Act made to date. Yet two evolutions have taken place within the Federal Reserve System, in one instance, without authorization, and, in the other, directly contrary to the expressed intent of the Federal Reserve Act. In brief, the Federal Reserve’s “monetary policies,” as they are practiced today, were never authorized by law…There is little doubt in the author’s mind that if any legal challenge were ever raised to the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies, the courts could hold them unconstitutional.
The First Annual Report of the Board of Governors after passage of the 1935 act opened with a statement that the act “places responsibility for national monetary and credit on the Board of Governors and the Federal Open Market Committee”-although the act contained no reference whatever to monetary policy nor any provision which indicated a change in the convertibility concept on which the 1913 act was drawn. In brief, the Federal Reserve’s “monetary policies,” as they are practiced today, were never authorized by law.
The monetary powers, as has frequently been pointed out, are reserved to the Congress by the constitution. There is no doubt that it is within the prerogative of the Congress to delegate these powers either to the executive branch of the Government or to an independent agency. But it is not within Congress’s constitutional means to delegate these powers without prescribing policy objectives and clear guidelines detailing how the powers may be used. Inevitably, the Supreme Court has held unconstitutional those grants of powers made without any spelling out of the specific objectives and limitations placed on their use [pg 128]
This second change, whatever else it accomplished, did open the door to private banker influence in the formation of monetary policy. T h e regional bank presidents have become policymakers. At the very least, the type of man chosen to become the president of a regional bank affects the bent of Open Market Committee thinking. Now the private bankers have the dominant voice in choosing the regional bank presidents. They are hardly likely to choose and retain man as presidents whose approach to monetary matters does not in general conform to their taste.
I hope you take the time to read these excerpts and do not blow your blood pressure too high.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

Intro – Prepare To Be Shocked
This is one of the craziest stories your either never heard, or barely heard. I am certain of the following. Nobody ever spelled out to you how NUTS this failed vaccine really was. This absolutely bonkers vaccine, that was almost used on all Australians.
The fact that nobody even followed this story, shows that the captured corporate media is absolutely not doing its job. Either THAT, or their job is to help deceive us.
And you know where my money is on that.
Surely, in the past, both journalists and scientists might have said something to the effect of “Hey – marrying a cardiovascular pathogenic bat virus spike protein and a neurotoxic AIDS protein in a vaccine to prevent a cold seems a little weird.”
BUT NO. NOT NOW.
And yet, some of us, few as we might be, might still have some questions.
We assume – ASSUME – as in ASS / U / ME – that all people in all of science are acting in all of our best interests all the time.
I have been completely broken of this spell, and I can tell you – what I can see now is not pretty.
I need to prepare you for what I’m about to tell you.
State of Corruption of Vaccine Science
First, a fantastic interview of Dr. Robert Malone by Tucker Carlson. It’s very folksy and long – a bit over an hour – but it will absolutely cure you of any idea that science in 2022 has not been almost totally corrupted by money, power, and SECRET AGENDAS.
This guy Malone is as close to a Moderna insider / honest outsider as you’re gonna get, and he clearly sees the dirty play from the Moderna point of view.
Hat tips to FG&C and GA/FL for keeping this video in play. Gail has been pumping this video, too. EVERYBODY need to watch this.
Indeed, let’s just save that tweet as an image, in case Twitter decides Jack is becoming too much of a liability.
One of the biggest BOOMS dropped in the video, IMO, is the fact that Robert Malone WARNED the FDA about the toxicity of the spike protein, and they SHRUGGED IT OFF.
Yes. Malone gave them documentation, as asked, and they came back to him and said everything was OK. And THAT is when he started to think something was very wrong.
We’re about to do it AGAIN – only I’m not the first – I’m just rediscovering an obvious “why the heck are they doing THAT” point.
But we’ll get to that in a minute. We need to broaden our list of corrupt suspects.
You see, corporate “science” isn’t the only bad actor here. What about governments that conspire with the corporations to “mandate” their products for a mutual PAYOFF?
It turns out that both Justin Trudeau and the Canadian government have a very large incentive in mandating the broken, dubious, and just plain BAD Moderna and Pfizer “vaccines”.
When you realize that Justin Trudeau is not only following his mandate madness for WEFfian ideological reasons, and for Papa Fidel power, but also for CASTRO CASH, you understand what’s REALLY going on.
SO – now that you realize THESE PEOPLE care more about other things, than they care about us, the following will make more sense.
The Frankenvax That Almost Was
So just today, FG&C posted THIS TWEET which made me go WTF…..
Basically, an Australian COVID vaccine that falsely triggers AIDS / HIV tests was recalled. The vaccine was NOT sent out for use by the public, because it gave people positive AIDS tests.
GREAT, but…..
WHY did the vaccine do this? And by the way….
Didn’t this happen BEFORE – like over a year ago?
I could have SWORN this happened before.
Is this OLD NEWS or a DIFFERENT VACCINE?
Or did they bring the SAME vaccine BACK?
Or even worse….. AND logic…..
You see, I remember something just like this bit of news, over a year ago. It was some vaccine from an Australian university that accidentally triggered AIDS tests.
Well, when I looked closer at this, it turned out to be THE SAME NEWS. Meaning that this recent tweet was just OLD NEWS.
HOWEVER – I happen to know a lot more now, a year later, so I dug DEEPER and FOUND MORE.
And now I want to explain to you, exactly what is going on.
Because this monster AIN’T DEAD.
VolksWackcine 451
Let’s begin by looking at the actual announcement that all this news came from. The paragraph in BOLD is the critical one. If you’re going to TL;DR past all the rest, read THAT paragraph.
Friday, 11th December, 2020: The University of Queensland (UQ) and CSL today announce that the Phase 1 trial of the UQ-CSL v451 COVID-19 vaccine has shown that it elicits a robust response towards the virus and has a strong safety profile. There were no serious adverse events or safety concerns reported in the 216 trial participants. However, following consultation with the Australian Government, CSL will not progress the vaccine candidate to Phase 2/3 clinical trials.
The University of Queensland commenced a Phase 1 trial of their COVID-19 vaccine candidate – v451 – in July 2020, to assess safety and immunogenicity in healthy volunteers. CSL was working towards taking responsibility for the Phase 2/3 clinical trial and large-scale manufacture of the vaccine, upon completion of successful trials.
The Phase 1 data also showed the generation of antibodies directed towards fragments of a protein (gp41), which is a component used to stabilise the vaccine. Trial participants were fully informed of the possibility of a partial immune response to this component, but it was unexpected that the levels induced would interfere with certain HIV tests.
There is no possibility the vaccine causes infection, and routine follow up tests confirmed there is no HIV virus present.
With advice from experts, CSL and UQ have worked through the implications that this issue presents to rolling out the vaccine into broad populations. It is generally agreed that significant changes would need to be made to well-established HIV testing procedures in the healthcare setting to accommodate rollout of this vaccine. Therefore, CSL and the Australian Government have agreed vaccine development will not proceed to Phase 2/3 trials.
The Phase 1 trial will continue, where further analysis of the data will show how long the antibodies persist, with studies so far showing that levels are already falling. The University of Queensland plans to submit the full data for peer review publication.
UQ Vice-Chancellor, Professor Deborah Terry, said while the outcome was disappointing, she was immensely proud of the UQ team who had shouldered a heavy burden of responsibility while the world watched on. “I also want to thank our many partners, our donors – including the Federal and Queensland Government – and of course the 216 Queenslanders who so willingly volunteered for the Phase 1 trials.”
UQ vaccine co-lead, Professor Paul Young, said that although it was possible to re-engineer the vaccine, the team did not have the luxury of time needed. “Doing so would set back development by another 12 or so months, and while this is a tough decision to take, the urgent need for a vaccine has to be everyone’s priority.”
“I said at the start of vaccine development that there were no guarantees, but what is really encouraging is that the core technology approach we used has passed the major clinical test. It is a safe and well-tolerated vaccine, producing the strong virus-neutralising effect that we were hoping to see.
So we will continue to push forward and we are confident that with further work the Molecular Clamp technology will be a robust platform for future vaccine development here in Australia and to meet future biosecurity needs.
Dr Andrew Nash, Chief Scientific Officer for CSL said “This outcome highlights the risk of failure associated with early vaccine development, and the rigorous assessment involved in making decisions as to what discoveries advance.”
“This project has only been made possible by the innovative science developed by world-class scientists at The University of Queensland and the strong collaboration between our organisations, and many others, over the last 10 months. CSL and Seqirus are committed to continuing our work to protect the Australian population against COVID-19. Manufacture of approximately 30 million doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine candidate is underway, with first doses planned for release to Australia early next year. In addition, CSL has agreed at the request of the Australian Government to manufacture an additional 20 million doses.”
UQ and CSL acknowledge the support of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) in partnering to enable the rapid development of the vaccine candidate through clinical trials.
So what they’re saying is that this vaccine – which uses the HIV protein gp41 – sets off HIV tests. And THAT made the test unacceptable to move forward. The remaining phase II and phase III trials were cancelled, while the phase I trials continued to finish collecting data.
And WHILE they say that the phase I testing showed that the vaccine was safe and effective, if you look more closely, they only tested it on 216 people.
We KNOW from the Moderna and Pfizer tests, that even after HUGE phase II and phase III trials, using thousands or tens of thousands of participants, there are serious side effects that are STILL not discovered until actual roll-out to the public, when millions receive the shot.
And that does NOT include long-term effects. We know NOW that this determination can be critical in many cases.
And one more point for the record. As you can see by the statement at the end of the press release, this vaccine was supported by the Bill Gates organization CEPI.
Yeah, that CEPI, and THAT Bill Gates.
Like I say, CEPI is how Gates gets TWO VOTES, and GAVI is how he gets THREE.
So the bottom line – this vaccine was killed because it set off AIDS tests.
But let’s dig a little deeper into that.
So What’s With HIV and the COVID Vaccines?
When I first heard about this particular Australian vaccine (UQ-CSL v451, or v451 hereafter) triggering HIV tests, my immediate thought was that this might be proof that the Indian researchers were CORRECT – that the spike protein really contained those four inserts from HIV, and that THIS was setting off tests for HIV.
Later, I heard that – no – there was actually some segment of HIV protein being used in the v451 vaccine INTENTIONALLY. Thus, the whole problem seemed stupid, the use of the HIV protein seemed short-sighted, and I promptly forgot about it. No smoking gun – just a stink bomb.
However, a year’s time changed all that.
Think how different the perspective is now.
virus almost certainly came out of a biowarfare lab in China with PLA/NIH ties
Fauci, Dazsak and minions now known to have LIED about origins
Fauci gang also lied when pooh-poohing the Indian HIV insert hypothesis
mRNA vaccines seem to be producing immune deficiency, a.k.a. “VAIDS”
there are working hypotheses now which explain immune deficiency
Fauci’s history with HIV mirrors current history with COVID – lies and hidden agenda
Fauci seems to be obsessed with immunodeficiency and vaccines
Fauci promoted bad killer drugs as treatments in both cases (AZT, remdesivir)
Fauci seems to have an agenda clearly counter to truth as we know it, and is likely serving something beyond the increasing “fake” science which the public believes is operant in the world, but which is very likely a “reduced set” intended to deceive us
Thus, with all that WEIRD background, it NOW seems a bit “par for the course” that somebody in that world would want to bring HIV into the COVID equation.
But is that a good idea?
Now – before I go talking about why this might be a BAD idea, I want to give you plenty of references as to why they SAY it was a good idea.
Let’s start with a good explanation of why the false positives occurred. This article includes a lot of information on the v451 vaccine itself.
The article mentions, without too much detail, that the HIV protein is part of a “molecular clamp” – a trimeric molecular “holder” of spike protein molecules. This holder allows three molecules of any attached spike-type protein to stay locked into a rigid, parallel conformation, which will remain in the desirable pre-fusion (with a cell) configuration, and not change into the useless post-fusion configuration.
The article also links to a scientific paper on the technology:
Prior to 2020, the threat of a novel viral pandemic was omnipresent but largely ignored. Just 12 months prior to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic our team received funding from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to establish and validate a rapid response pipeline for subunit vaccine development based on our proprietary Molecular Clamp platform. Throughout the course of 2019 we conducted two mock tests of our system for rapid antigen production against two potential, emerging viral pathogens, Achimota paramyxovirus and Wenzhou mammarenavirus. For each virus we expressed a small panel of recombinant variants of the membrane fusion protein and screened for expression level, product homogeneity, and the presence of the expected trimeric pre-fusion conformation. Lessons learned from this exercise paved the way for our response to COVID-19, for which our candidate antigen is currently in phase I clinical trial.
Here is part of a really good graphic from the paper.
You can see how it’s possible to produce a spike protein with the “molecular clamp” attached, and then simply let this recombinant construction TRIMERIZE (form a triple, side to side) around the three molecular clamps, and thereby stabilize the three spike protein molecules next to each other.
This is a bit like a “motif” within an actual virus, where spike proteins, sticking out next to each other, protect each other’s sides. THAT is the basic idea of this thing.
Remember how Novavax assembles a bunch of spikes via modified ass ends into a kind of antigenic cloved apple, to create a kind of fake virus? Same very basic principle.
Indeed, the molecular clamp is even a bit like TWO motifs, since gp41 serves a somewhat similar purpose in the HIV virus, being the root of a stalk to an attack mechanism.
HIV-1 fusion process. It involves both subunits of the envelope spike complex. Notably, gp41 is shown in green with its transmembrane region buried in the virion membrane, both segments of heptad repeats (CHR closer to the virus and NHR closer to the host cell) before and after conformational changes, and the N-terminal end of the ectodomain in gray. In the last two panels pointed out by the red arrows, gp41 is observed following penetration of the host cell and following a conformational change resulting in the six-helix bundle which brings the viral and cell membranes into close proximity.
So – in a very real sense – this whole “vaccine” thingie is a literal marriage of HIV and coronavirus – the simplest possible one.
And they didn’t tell you ANY of this shit – did they?
So all of that WORKS, but the problem is that antibodies don’t just form to the attached spike protein – they ALSO form to the “molecular clamp”, meaning to the gp41 protein.
And what does that mean?
An AIDS Vaccine in Disguise?
The people who made the v451 vaccine say they didn’t expect there to be so much antibody response to the gp41 parts of the vaccine, thus triggering HIV tests.
You know what?
I don’t believe them.
I think they were gaslighting us all along.
Part of this is due to the fact that I’ve seen gp41 named numerous times as a potential basis for subunit vaccines against HIV. In fact, in one reference, I saw it named as THE BEST HOPE for an AIDS vaccine.
They didn’t mention that? LOL. OH, REALLY.
So WHY would anybody be using gp41 as part of an antigen, and not expect it to generate antibodies?
In fact, one might almost look at this v451 vaccine and regard it as an HIV vaccine, with spike proteins tacked onto gp41 as a kind of “nasty adjuvant” to initiate the immune response to the HIV protein.
Seriously – which is the real target here – COVID or HIV? Or BOTH?
This looks to me like a perfect example of…..
WAIT FOR IT….
“REVERSO”.
But let’s just set that aside for now, and pretend that the thing which COULD be a vaccine for EITHER ONE of the two things they stuck in it, is REALLY a vaccine for the fakey-fake cold that we don’t need a vaccine for, and NOT a vaccine for the sexual disease that stands in the way of Luciferian scum creating their polyamorous sexual paradise of literal epic random phuckery.
OMG, these people have just lied, and lied, and lied again. And they will KEEP lying.
But we’ll pretend they’re not lying, for just a little while longer.
So if we have an actual COVID vaccine here…..
…..is it a good idea to include the HIV gp41 protein subunit?
Well, after what we’ve seen with the spike protein, I was thinking maybe it wouldn’t be.
And it turns out, I wasn’t the first person who thought of this.
Doorless Carp’s Suspicious Cat In A Box
When I went looking for the toxicity of the gp41 protein, one of the first things that came up was some guy or gal who appears to have been actively suppressed on Twitter, eventually banned to Gab, and whose substack article on the topic has only two likes – ONE OF THEM MINE.
Doesn’t mean the article’s not important. And I think it’s about to get a few more hits.
This is a wonderful article that is simply SKEPTICAL of the entire “it was pulled because of triggering AIDS tests” reasoning.
DoorlessCarp read the same press release I cited above, and pokes and prods it from the point of view of somebody who knows a heck of a lot about HIV and AIDS, and doesn’t buy what (s)he’s reading in that press release. Something doesn’t sniff right to “them”, and “they” spell out the issues.
I will attempt to summarize DoorlessCarp’s concerns (noted as “DLC” hereafter).
First, DLC admits to actually being led to the problem by one of those Fake News “straw man fact checks”, which attempt to either “debunk” facts or mislead scandals by setting up an adjacent strawman and knocking it down. OBSERVE.
“Fact check: An Australian vaccine trial did not give trial participants HIV”
LOL. No. The truth they’re protecting is that the “COVID vaccine” gave them HIV antibodies, and it was very likely the whole point.
To quote DLC about the Aussie vaccine researchers: “I wouldn’t let these clowns dispense aspirin, let alone design fast tracked vaccines.“
DLC then makes this statement, noting that there is a curious skew between the reality of HIV testing and the idea that there is some kind of a problem here.
Interesting rapid response to the effect that antibody only HIV tests have long since been debunked as a diagnostic tool on their own due to cross reactivity from other antibodies. They don’t tell you anything useful.
DLC then quotes extensively from this letter which explains why HIV testing via antibodies is actually a rather horrible mishmash of false positives and negatives, ultimately requiring a clinical diagnosis and “validation by lifestyle facts”.
Which leads to the next section, which I quote:
So what was the real reason for pulling the Australian trial, was it the gp41 toxicity?
The antibody problem raises more questions than it answers as spike S2 has homology to P24, GP41 and GP120.
This is dark stuff, P24 has been ported straight across from HIVs capsid to the spike protein. Here’s the proof, at least as far as what specific antibodies are telling us, which don’t lie:
What is p24 antigen?
“One distinctive HIV antigen is a viral protein called p24, a structural protein that makes up most of the HIV viral core, or ‘capsid’. High levels of p24 are present in the blood serum of newly infected individuals during the short period between infection and seroconversion, making p24 antigen assays useful in diagnosing primary HIV infection.”
suspects the real reason for pulling the vaccine was the toxicity of gp41
notes that the spike protein already has potentially dangerous homologies to three HIV proteins, p24, gp41 and gp120
p24 is basically the nucleocapsid protein of HIV
p24 tends to be detected early in the AIDS process, before antibodies to it form
DLC then cites several papers demonstrating that there is already a lot of understanding of antibody cross-talk between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and either (1) original SARS-CoV proteins, and (2) HIV-1 proteins.
In the latter case, there is specific interaction with gp41.
References given:
The SARS CoV-2 spike directed non-neutralizing polyclonal antibodies cross-react with Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) gp41 (Dec. 2021)
DLC then lays the hammer down on the fact that gp41 is responsible for the dementia of AIDS.
I’m including the whole thing here.
Pathology:
Accumulation of β-Amyloid Precursor Protein in Axons Correlates with CNS Expression of SIV gp41 (2002)
“In this study, a strong association (p = 0.005) was identified between elevated axonal β-APP levels and the amount of SIV gp41 present in white matter, implicating HIV/SIV gp41 as a mediator of axonal damage.“
Mechanisms and Structural Determinants of HIV-1 Coat Protein, gp41-Induced Neurotoxicity (1999)
Abstract
Of the individuals with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, 20–30% will develop the neurological complication of HIV-associated dementia (HAD). The mechanisms underlying HAD are unknown; however, indirect immunologically mediated mechanisms are theorized to play a role. Recently, the HIV-1 coat protein gp41 has been implicated as a major mediator of HAD through induction of neurocytokines and subsequent neuronal cell death. Using primary mixed cortical cultures from neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) null (nNOS−/−) mice and immunological NOS null (iNOS−/−) mice, we establish iNOS-derived NO as a major mediator of gp41 neurotoxicity. Neurotoxicity elicited by gp41 is markedly attenuated in iNOS−/− cultures compared with wild-type and nNOS−/− cultures. The NOS inhibitor l-nitroarginine methyl ester is neuroprotective in wild-type and nNOS−/− cultures, confirming the role of iNOS-derived NO in gp41 neurotoxicity. Confirming that iNOS−/− cultures lack iNOS, gp41 did not induce iNOS in iNOS−/− cultures, but it markedly induced iNOS in wild-type and nNOS−/− cultures. We elucidate the region of gp41 that is critical for iNOS induction and neuronal cell death by monitoring iNOS induction with overlapping peptides spanning gp41. We show that the N-terminal region of gp41, which we designate as the neurotoxic domain, induces iNOS protein activity and iNOS-dependent neurotoxicity at picomolar concentrations in a manner similar to recombinant gp41 protein. Our experiments suggest that gp41 is eliciting the induction of iNOS through potential cell surface receptors or binding sites because the induction of iNOS is dose dependent and saturable and occurs at physiologically relevant concentrations. These data confirm that the induction of iNOS by gp41 and the production of NO are primary mediators of neuronal damage and identify a neurotoxic domain of gp41 that may play an important role in HAD.
“I wouldn’t let these clowns dispense aspirin, let alone design fast tracked vaccines.“
Is gp41 a danger? It may well be. And nobody is asking the question, because (IMO) the neural pathogenic initiator that gp41 is, was passed off as a “molecular clamp” instead of the REAL ANTIGEN.
If they’re going to resurrect this weirdo COVID-HIV vaccine – and YES, they’re thinking about it – then there needs to be some examination FIRST of what the HELL is going on.
So What The Heck Is Going On Here?
When I was a young lad in the old days of science, there was lying, misrepresentation, and thievery, but it was on a much smaller scale.
We used to joke very cynically, back in the ’70’s, that every natural product being synthesized in a laboratory cured cancer, because we all knew that was not true.
We knew that these substances were really being synthesized merely because the molecules were a synthetic challenge, and a way for professors to make a name for themselves in synthetic chemistry. Almost NONE of these substances would EVER be used to treat cancer, and most would wash out very soon upon investigation. Almost none of them would ever even LEAD to a useful cancer drug. But LYING about their importance was how people got money for their labs. Every structurally interesting new molecule was always the next savior – until it wasn’t.
I used to think that the people giving out the money were fools about this, but not any more. I am beginning to think that the “givers” have always been just as corrupt as the “takers” – they’re just the “insiders” who turn on the spigots for their fellow “outsiders”.
I have no reason to think that vaccines are any different.
I think that a false crisis was used as a massive MONEY-BOMB – a global pile-on of the giddiest and most corrupt kind.
Probably the biggest one in 20 years.
I think that an AIDS vaccine was passed off as a COVID vaccine, by plausibly passing off the natural function of the HIV subunit as a new tool for other things, because – well – it IS such a new tool – just like every new interesting molecule MIGHT actually be some amazing new drug that cures cancer.
They lie skillfully, and they lie with truth, and it’s almost impossible to PROVE that the secondary “oh by the way” was actually the primary motivation.
We have changed from white lies that everybody understood WERE lies, to much more devious lies where scientists engage in fooling not just the public, but even other scientists.
I do think we have to wake up now. We can no longer afford the luxury of pretending not to know.
If I have to thank Joe Biden and his puppetmasters, including his “handler” Obama, for anything, it is for WAKING ME UP with these stupid mandates.
Nothing worked so well, to show us that the NEW WORLD ORDER is a direct threat to humanity, and needs to be stopped.
Science can be good again. But it must never, ever, abandon TRUTH.
I have been reminding folks on here – the Fed has to be bankrupted at some point. It will either be by the white hats or the black hats. The Gab post you show is correct for the most part IMO. The Fed has fueled the Great Reset, which is why they could care less about how much debt we have in America because we will not exist as an independent nation in their black hat world.
Digital one world currency is the plan. Why do you think there were coin shortages recently? Why do you think they hate crypto and parallel economies so much? Why do they want America at odds with Russia, but falling right in line with China? Where Xi falls in this I am not certain. But I do know China and the Chi-coms are a CB [central bank] creation.
The linchpin is digital currency.
Follow the money….
That is the first half of the comment
Actually I can see where he is going since I also have warned of this much earlier.
The Push For World Government
A few years ago Soros directed the USA to overthrow the ELECTED government in both Syria and Ukraine. (Trump side stepped both.)
Why? Because the EU is the model for a global government. Soros wanted the EU to annex the Ukraine. The elected president said HE!! NO! so he was ousted and a pro-EU puppet was put in his place who has since been voted out while Trump was in the White House.
Russia tossed Soros out and put out a warrant for him. Russia makes much of their money selling gas to Europe. It also gives them leverage to keep the EU from expanding into their sphere of influence. Soros wants to remove Russia’s leverage by putting in a pipeline from the middle east to Europe. ALL the countries that were opposed to that pipeline have been overthrown EXCEPT for Syria.
If you want a World Government similar to the European Union then you are on Soros side. If you want sovereign nations you are on the side of Russia….. AND I am still of that opinion.
BREXIT THE MOVIE will give you the details on how the EU is actually run.
Former World Trade Organization Director-General Pascal Lamy tells you point blank that the EU is the template for the desired World Government and it has been the plan since the 1930s.
All had lived through the chaos of the 1930s — when turning inwards led to economic depression, nationalism and war. All, including the defeated powers, agreed that the road to peace lay with building a new international order — and an approach to international relations that questioned the Westphalian, sacrosanct principle of sovereignty…
Lamy is quite blunt in stating national sovereignty is passé:
…more than half a century ago that the Frenchman Jean Monnet, one of the shapers of post-war Europe, said, “The sovereign nations of the past can no longer provide a framework for the resolution of our present problems. And the European Community itself is no more than a step towards the organizational forms of tomorrow’s world.” His assessment was as valid then as it is now….
This is what Global Warming was really about. We have all seen the political message morph over the decades from Global Warming to Climate Change to Weather Weirding.
As H.L. Mencken said:
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.”
The UN put the concept into practice via the IPCC. The IPCC mandate states:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to assess the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for the understanding of human induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for mitigation and adaptation. http//www.ipcc-wg2.gov/ (No longer available)
IPCC
Notice the IPCC ASSUMES the hypothesis of human induced climate change IS TRUE and goes from there.
With Reagan killing off the Cold War, Pascal Lamy takes ‘Practical Politics’ the next step, by telling us about a “new enemy to unite us” (Global Warming) A global enemy needed to create Legitimacy, one of the ‘four legs’ needed to implement a global government…
I see four main challenges for global governance today.
The first one is leadership, i.e. the capacity to embody a vision and inspire action, in order to create momentum. Who is the leader? Should it be a superpower? A group of national leaders? Selected by whom? Or should it be an international organization?
The second one is efficiency, i.e. the capacity to mobilize resources, to solve the problems in the international sphere, to bring about concrete and visible results for the benefit of the people. The main challenge here is that the Westphalian order gives a premium to “naysayers” who can block decisions, thereby impeding results. The ensuing viscosity of international decision-making puts into question the efficiency of the international system.
The third one is coherence, for the international system is based on specialization. Each international organization focuses on a limited number of issues. The World Trade Organisation deals with trade, the International Labour Organisation with labour issues, the World Meteorological Organisation with meteorology and so the list continues. It is a fact: the UN is not really overarching, assuming this was the initial intention.
The last challenge that I see is that of legitimacy— for legitimacy is intrinsically linked to proximity, to a sense of “togetherness”. By togetherness, I mean the shared feeling of belonging to a community. This feeling, which is generally strong at the local level, tends to weaken significantly as distance to power systems grows. It finds its roots in common myths, a common history, and a collective cultural heritage. It is no surprise that taxation and redistribution policies remain mostly local!
There is one place where attempts to deal with these challenges have been made and where new forms of governance have been tested for the last 60 years: in Europe. The European construction is the most ambitious experiment in supranational governance ever attempted up to now. It is the story of a desired, delineated and organized interdependence between its Member States…. http://www.wto.org/english/news_e/sppl_e/sppl220_e.htm
Pascal Lamy
In another presentation Lamy again addresses the problem of legitimacy:
By now, with Al Gore exiting stage left, Trump entering stage right, it is pretty obvious that ‘Global Warming’ has lost its high panic factor and the climb down is in progress. However the need for a ‘Crisis to Unite Us’ and a reason to implement ‘Agenda 21 – Sustainability’ and ‘Global Governance’ still remains. WORSE for the Globalists the fiat currency central banking system is on its last legs and about to IMPLODE, as many people like Dave of the X22 Report and Clif High and others have been warning us. Up to now we have been wondering what the next hobgoblin would be. And now we know it’s COVID -19!!! A Bio-Weapon and a Poison Jab that kills off a lot of the population, crashes the world economy and ushers in a Vaccine Digital Passport soon to be linked to the BRAND NEW DIGITAL WORLD CURRENCY and Social Credit Score.
And that brings us to the second part of TradeBait2’s comment.
…… You do not want to use the Nuremberg Code as your get out jail free card from jabs. You fall into the hands of international law superseding national law. It’s a set up, don’t fall for it.
Cannot tell you the number of times I have prepared a post and deleted it because I doubted folks on here would pay attention or believe it. This is the world I lived in for 35 years and escaped.
As I showed above that “international law superseding national law” is exactly what Pascal Lamy was yammering about a decade ago and what Klaus Schwab is threatening us with now.
So how do we escape this TRAP if it is being set?
Use USA LAW!
I find it interesting that the internet is FULL of the Nuremberg Code…….
……and the GERMAN/CALIFORNIA LAWYER Reiner Füllmich and 50 Lawyers, but I went nutz trying to find the US LAWS. It took me over ½ hour.
And WHY does Reiner Füllmich have no problem with YouTube???? When everyone else gets the boot?
I watched it for about half an hour and thought it was important enough to post here. The dozens of witnesses/experts that will be speaking in the next days are from around the world…many of the names you may already know.
Day 1 Opening Session of the Grand Jury Proceeding
A group of international lawyers and a judge are conducting criminal investigation modeled after Grand Jury proceedings in order to present to the public all available evidence of Covid 19 Crimes Against Humanity to date against “leaders, organizers, instigators, and accomplices” who aided, abetted, or actively participated in the formulation and execution of a common plan for a pandemic
I think Reiner Füllmich and his group is sincere but it is very very possible they are being used.
So after a LOT of digging at Cornell Law I found the provision that covers the situation for the military: 10 U.S.C. § 1107.“This provision prohibits the administration of investigational new drugs, or drugs unapproved for their intended use, to service members without their informed consent.”
And finally after a lot more searching I stumbled across the information that civilians are covered under a FDA Regulation and not a law: CFR – Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 as of January 6, 2022

An investigator shall seek such consent only under circumstances that provide the prospective subject or the representative sufficient opportunity to consider whether or not to participate and that minimize the possibility of coercion or undue influence. The information that is given to the subject or the representative shall be in language understandable to the subject or the representative. No informed consent, whether oral or written, may include any exculpatory language through which the subject or the representative is made to waive or appear to waive any of the subject’s legal rights, or releases or appears to release the investigator, the sponsor, the institution, or its agents from liability for negligence.

BUT there is a cockroach in the ointment.
§ 50.24 – Exception from informed consent requirements for emergency research.
[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 21, Volume 1] [CITE: 21CFR50.24]
TITLE 21–FOOD AND DRUGS CHAPTER I–FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
SUBCHAPTER A – GENERAL
PART 50 — PROTECTION OF HUMAN SUBJECTS Subpart B – Informed Consent of Human Subjects Sec. 50.24 Exception from informed consent requirements for emergency research. (a) The IRB responsible for the review, approval, and continuing review of the clinical investigation described in this section may approve that investigation without requiring that informed consent of all research subjects be obtained if the IRB (with the concurrence of a licensed physician who is a member of or consultant to the IRB and who is not otherwise participating in the clinical investigation) finds and documents each of the following: (1) The human subjects are in a life-threatening situation, available treatments are unproven or unsatisfactory, and the collection of valid scientific evidence, which may include evidence obtained through randomized placebo-controlled investigations, is necessary to determine the safety and effectiveness of particular interventions. (2) Obtaining informed consent is not feasible because: (i) The subjects will not be able to give their informed consent as a result of their medical condition; (ii) The intervention under investigation must be administered before consent from the subjects’ legally authorized representatives is feasible; and (iii) There is no reasonable way to identify prospectively the individuals likely to become eligible for participation in the clinical investigation. (3) Participation in the research holds out the prospect of direct benefit to the subjects because: (i) Subjects are facing a life-threatening situation that necessitates intervention; (ii) Appropriate animal and other preclinical studies have been conducted, and the information derived from those studies and related evidence support the potential for the intervention to provide a direct benefit to the individual subjects; and (iii) Risks associated with the investigation are reasonable in relation to what is known about the medical condition of the potential class of subjects, the risks and benefits of standard therapy, if any, and what is known about the risks and benefits of the proposed intervention or activity. (4) The clinical investigation could not practicably be carried out without the waiver. (5) The proposed investigational plan defines the length of the potential therapeutic window based on scientific evidence, and the investigator has committed to attempting to contact a legally authorized representative for each subject within that window of time and, if feasible, to asking the legally authorized representative contacted for consent within that window rather than proceeding without consent. The investigator will summarize efforts made to contact legally authorized representatives and make this information available to the IRB at the time of continuing review. (6) The IRB has reviewed and approved informed consent procedures and an informed consent document consistent with § 50.25. These procedures and the informed consent document are to be used with subjects or their legally authorized representatives in situations where use of such procedures and documents is feasible. The IRB has reviewed and approved procedures and information to be used when providing an opportunity for a family member to object to a subject’s participation in the clinical investigation consistent with paragraph (a)(7)(v) of this section. (7) Additional protections of the rights and welfare of the subjects will be provided, including, at least: (i) Consultation (including, where appropriate, consultation carried out by the IRB) with representatives of the communities in which the clinical investigation will be conducted and from which the subjects will be drawn; (ii) Public disclosure to the communities in which the clinical investigation will be conducted and from which the subjects will be drawn, prior to initiation of the clinical investigation, of plans for the investigation and its risks and expected benefits; (iii) Public disclosure of sufficient information following completion of the clinical investigation to apprise the community and researchers of the study, including the demographic characteristics of the research population, and its results; (iv) Establishment of an independent data monitoring committee to exercise oversight of the clinical investigation; and (v) If obtaining informed consent is not feasible and a legally authorized representative is not reasonably available, the investigator has committed, if feasible, to attempting to contact within the therapeutic window the subject’s family member who is not a legally authorized representative, and asking whether he or she objects to the subject’s participation in the clinical investigation. The investigator will summarize efforts made to contact family members and make this information available to the IRB at the time of continuing review. (b) The IRB is responsible for ensuring that procedures are in place to inform, at the earliest feasible opportunity, each subject, or if the subject remains incapacitated, a legally authorized representative of the subject, or if such a representative is not reasonably available, a family member, of the subject’s inclusion in the clinical investigation, the details of the investigation and other information contained in the informed consent document. The IRB shall also ensure that there is a procedure to inform the subject, or if the subject remains incapacitated, a legally authorized representative of the subject, or if such a representative is not reasonably available, a family member, that he or she may discontinue the subject’s participation at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise entitled. If a legally authorized representative or family member is told about the clinical investigation and the subject’s condition improves, the subject is also to be informed as soon as feasible. If a subject is entered into a clinical investigation with waived consent and the subject dies before a legally authorized representative or family member can be contacted, information about the clinical investigation is to be provided to the subject’s legally authorized representative or family member, if feasible. (c) The IRB determinations required by paragraph (a) of this section and the documentation required by paragraph (e) of this section are to be retained by the IRB for at least 3 years after completion of the clinical investigation, and the records shall be accessible for inspection and copying by FDA in accordance with § 56.115(b) of this chapter. (d) Protocols involving an exception to the informed consent requirement under this section must be performed under a separate investigational new drug application (IND) or investigational device exemption (IDE) that clearly identifies such protocols as protocols that may include subjects who are unable to consent. The submission of those protocols in a separate IND/IDE is required even if an IND for the same drug product or an IDE for the same device already exists. Applications for investigations under this section may not be submitted as amendments under §§ 312.30 or 812.35 of this chapter. (e) If an IRB determines that it cannot approve a clinical investigation because the investigation does not meet the criteria in the exception provided under paragraph (a) of this section or because of other relevant ethical concerns, the IRB must document its findings and provide these findings promptly in writing to the clinical investigator and to the sponsor of the clinical investigation. The sponsor of the clinical investigation must promptly disclose this information to FDA and to the sponsor’s clinical investigators who are participating or are asked to participate in this or a substantially equivalent clinical investigation of the sponsor, and to other IRB’s that have been, or are, asked to review this or a substantially equivalent investigation by that sponsor. [61 FR 51528, Oct. 2, 1996]
And now we go to USA lawyer, Attorney Thomas Renz and his interview on Bannon’s War Room.
Episode 1,619 – Beijing Olympics Fail; Legal/Financial Investigations Of Big Pharma
ATTORNEY THOMAS RENZ:We have to get it to the public and that is where the War room is so important. Se are going to be submitting this to a case in Alabama. We are going to be submitting ths to a number of different places in the military, ahhh I guess law enforcement world. And we are looking to bring this into the civilian law enforcement as well. There is no question as to what is happening. These are major crimes and you know Steve, I don’t know if you have got this but we just yesterday, dated February 4th, got a document from the CDC that re-affirms everything we said last week when we said they know this. If you are interested that document actually says it is was in the meeting yesterday, it was presented yesterday it says the CDC is working to monitor these things and they are monitoring the DOD data. Which indicates to me, I don’t know if you have heard the DOD s response? DOD to me has committed fraud and conspiracy. They have said there baseline data from 2016 to 2020 was wrong. They didn’t notice it until we pointed it out in the whistle blower testimony. But some how even though they didn’t notice it, it magically got corrected in 2021.
I mean seriously, How stupid do they think the American people are?
STEVE BANNON:What about adjudicating this. What about Alabama? (21:40)
RENZ: We have a case in Alabama where we are challenged the EUA authorization of the vaccine….. Balance of harm tests…. Generally you have to show more benefit than injury… we are also challenging on mis branding, because the CDC changed the definition of vaccines so they could call these gene therapies a vaccine. BTW Pfizer and Moderna have admitted they are gene therapy in their documents. And we have challenged it on several other fronts so that’s in court. This document and all this DOD stuff just came to us. We have declarations under penalty of perjury and those declarations will be submitted to the court. They are getting updated right now because we’ve had this new data come forward related to this…. We have been working with attorneys all over the world and around the country… and we have been getting this data out and we are giving it to anyone who wants to use it anywhere they can. And we believe it will help. We have to find the right court like you said. Until we find a court that is willing to listen and have an evidentiary hearing, it’s tough. We are going to have more info on that coming up…..
STEVE: asks about military JAG system and Senator Johnson. Senator Johnson first.
RENZ:The problem for Senator Johnson is he is not getting enough support from other Senators. He has gotten NO RESPONSE from anyone else [including Rand Paul but he does not say that.]
STEVE:What about JAG? [24:50]
RENZ: Since the data has only been out for a week or two, we are working thru a number of JAG officers….. I got another letter this week…. From all places the Texas National Guard, one of the people there saying they are going to reject all the religious exemptions and we don’t want doctors giving medical exemptions. They actually say they view it as a COMMAND ISSUE and not a medical issue. So if a doctor thinks a soldier should not have this for a medical reason, they are to shut-up and take orders according to this document. We submitted that to Senator Johnson as well as some others.
This is a disaster in the military and they have created a situation where it is very very difficult for our solders to fight this. We do however have quite a number of military personnel stepping forward. And quite a number of JAG officers and others who, because of the publicity we have gotten on this, in the last week or so, are now wiling to step up and do something so we’ll see.
A very informative earlier video from the War Room showing the DOD changing the data from Thomas Renz. It also has Ed Dowd, a Financial guru who worked for Blackrock…. Yeah, Blackrock. He is calling out not only the vaccine manufacturers but the FDA for massive FINANCIAL fraud similar to ENRON. The video also has an interview with Dr Malone.
We may serve “off-label” drinks here, including hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and truck diesel, but we don’t serve spike protein, remdesivir, or anything made in Wuhan, Chinazia.
While our beloved REAL bartender takes a needed break of unknown duration, we continue to ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.
Christmas Spirit
Feel free to celebrate the birth of Christ any time. We’re dragging it out this year! One MORE month of Christmas begins!
Hey – where’s Santa? We need his famous line about his VP!
And now, the rules of the pub.
HOUSE RULES
God bless us, every one! Tiny Tim had such a beautiful soul. He hadn’t a mean bone in his body…unlike most of us. But in keeping with Christmas, we promise to honor Wolf’s rules and keep Scrooge at bay. The Utree is where the Ghost of Christmas Present will conduct you should you need to rattle some chains. Another option, should all hell break loose is here.
Now, back to business.
AMEN!

Current Art On The Wall
This is another off-beat shipment. “Spice” is all it said on the box. Let’s take a look.
I am informed that this one has something to do with the “Spice Islands”.
This one is related to Morocco. I think I see some kind of actually trustworthy pharmaceuticals, although it also looks a bit like that “pot-poury” stuff.
Not sure what this one is, other than what’s on the label – “Moroccan Spice”.
This one is also labeled “Moroccan Spice”, with a reference URL. I am informed by an expert that this genre of art is something known as “purse porn”.
This one is even cheaper. $9.99 at Walmart. Well, it’s FREE here!

Baking For Stargazers by Dina Belenko
This is a trick to flush out any kids on this site.
If you ever saw one of these in real life, you’re a kid, or you had some. Or both!
And then somebody decided to get cute with the jukebox…..
On The Jukebox
This is from the early days, when the “talent” was just getting started, and it shows.
Here’s where the “spice” started flowing to the cabal coffers, and the recruits were now famous for being famous. Different fan-exciting material was possible…..
I was going to queue up some of their reunion material, but I absolutely cannot take any more of it.
SO ENJOY.
There – that’s better!
OK, I cannot leave you with that earworm, so I’m going to perform a really neat trick.
The following performance is by a similar “girl group” in Japan, doing a number called “Spice“. Because it’s designed to infect the brains of Japanese and not Westerners, it’s essentially white noise MK to gai-jin, and will erase the Spice Girls stuff.
WE HOPE.
You can turn on English captions to see what they’re saying.
Because this group “Perfume” rides on a more techno/electronica carrier wave, and comes in at a more “artistic” level than the Spice Girls, it actually gets MUCH more respect than the Spice Girls, in both the East and the West. Many people regard it as techno art-pop rather than J-pop. But don’t kid yourself. Down deep, it’s still a “girl band”. These ladies are huge cultural celebrities in Japan, just like the Spice Girls remain in England, even disbanded.
And thus we return to reality.
Or do we?
THE SPICE MUST FLOW
And now for our feature presentation…..
The End of the mRNA Vaccines
This topic right here is just a WARM-UP for my Monday post, which will explain WHY these particular mRNA vaccines are OVER. GONE. KAPUT. DONE.
You want to know why Joe Rogan / Spotify happened?
Pfizer-CNN-DNC-BlackRock-[CB]-Mr.Global can’t attack Drs. Malone and McCullough directly, at this CRITICAL MOMENT, so they FAKED IT, and attacked Joe Rogan to indirectly “prove” that Malone and McCullough are providing “misinformation”.
That is how desperate they are.
Sorry.
As China said to the Biden administration, “You are dealing from a position of weakness.”
The TRUTH is a SOLID FORTRESS.
“They” are in so much trouble.
And Malone and McCullough are in the CATBIRD SEAT.
There are tens of billions – hundreds of billions – maybe trillions of dollars on the line, and those dollars are not just on a rickety foundation – they are on QUICKSAND.
You can understand the panic. And it will only get worse.
First, I want you to watch this video, and understand that every word you hear is 100 times truer than even those people realized when they said those things.
Hat tip to Gail Combs for cluing me in to this very recent paper, which I expect to come under merciless attack, but it won’t do any good.
This paper may NEVER reach or pass “peer review”, but it doesn’t matter. Even if it NEVER passes peer review, the payload has been delivered.
The paper has DETONATED in information space.
More “cautious” scientists will BET THEIR CAREERS on the truth therein, and “discover” everything discussed here, but in slower, politically correct, and damage-controlling ways.
Limited damage control remains possible if “they” are extremely lucky and drop mandates world-wide NOW. But as long as their side keeps forcing mandates, the WOODEN STAKE OF TRUTH will be driven into the VAMPIRE HEARTS OF PFIZER, MODERNA, AND ALL WHO BACKED THE CLOT SHOT.
GOVERNMENTS are going to FALL.
I think that SOMEBODY knew this paper was coming.
Once you see WHY the mRNA vaccines are fundamentally flawed, you can’t unsee it.
Innate Immune Suppression by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccinations: The role of G-quadruplexes, exosomes and microRNAs
[Could have said “Baylor College of Medicine”, but they were FOOLS!]
ABSTRACT
The mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were brought to market in response to the widely perceived public health crises of Covid-19. The utilization of mRNA vaccines in the context of infectious disease had no precedent, but desperate times seemed to call for desperate measures. The mRNA vaccines utilize genetically modified mRNA encoding spike proteins. These alterations hide the mRNA from cellular defenses, promote a longer biological half-life for the proteins, and provoke higher overall spike protein production. However, both experimental and observational evidence reveals a very different immune response to the vaccines compared to the response to infection with SARS-CoV-2. As we will show, the genetic modifications introduced by the vaccine are likely the source of these differential responses. In this paper, we present the evidence that vaccination, unlike natural infection, induces a profound impairment in type I interferon signaling, which has diverse adverse consequences to human health. We explain the mechanism by which immune cells release into the circulation large quantities of exosomes containing spike protein along with critical microRNAs that induce a signaling response in recipient cells at distant sites. We also identify potential profound disturbances in regulatory control of protein synthesis and cancer surveillance. These disturbances are shown to have a potentially direct causal link to neurodegenerative disease, myocarditis, immune thrombocytopenia, Bell’s palsy, liver disease, impaired adaptive immunity, increased tumorigenesis, and DNA damage. We show evidence from adverse event reports in the VAERS database supporting our hypothesis. We believe a comprehensive risk/benefit assessment of the mRNA vaccines excludes them as positive contributors to public health, even in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
I was only part-way through the body of the paper, when I realized that if even a fraction of it is correct, the mRNA vaccines are as good as over.
Worse than that, other non-mRNA vaccines are likely subject to many of the same concerns.
It may very well be that vaccination is a poor strategy for this virus, SARS-CoV-2.
BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN.
Now that there is a clean, elegant, and intellectually appealing explanation of the adversity of the mRNA clot shot, which happens to align perfectly with common sense, mandates are murder.
Do not back down. Do not give up. We are on the right side of this.
I will explain.
SOON.
Bad Medicine as a Weapon of War
If you ever find yourself weakening on NOT GETTING THE CLOT SHOT – (and I’ve actually run into some of these failure-of-will cases in real life, so it’s not impossible) – try to remember just ONE of the items discussed below.
Don’t let Chinazia and the Globonazis inject you with their Slow-Motion Koolaid designed to assassinate America.
What follows are several items (or groups of items), many of which have been sitting around in my tabs, which have been bothering me. I have been TRYING to fit them into a pure and simple negligence scheme, and I simply can’t.
There is a highly destructive and very intentional aspect to all that has happened, that defies letting us categorize “Obamacare and what came after it” as mere stupidity.
insurance data showing manifold increased deaths of military-aged people, mostly men
Hat tips to RAC, Aubergine and Linda, for bringing the full extent of this one to my attention.
Further hat tips to those who brought all the other “tabbed” items above.
To me, this is only explained by what amounts to a secret “war” against the United States. Not everybody fighting on “their” side knows everything. In fact, almost all of them know nothing. But I think that Tony Fauci, Hillary Clinton, and a few others either know the entirety of the plot, or are following orders without question.
Their mission is based on ideas that America is bad and responsible for every bad thing, and that America and Americans need to be disempowered and punished for it.
Thus, like the general idea that Obama wasn’t as much “for Russia” or “for China” as he was “against America”, we can see that the modern Democrat party is now an embodiment of skepticism about, if not antipathy toward, America and Americans themselves.
Here’s the video and the URL, which long ago disappeared from YouTube.
In my opinion, this all goes back to the Soviet-supported MAOIST Weather Underground types of the late 60s and early 70s, who were actively planning a revolution in which 25 million Americans would need to be killed. This is around the same time that Klaus Schwab got his start. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH.
There are basically two sides – individual freedom and state control. In the past we’ve tended to have wars which were not cleanly on that boundary, such as Hitler vs. Stalin, but I think THIS ONE is fairly clean. “They” try to make “free forces” fight each other, which is very smart, but I think we’re wising up.
They HAD to have known that, without getting the guns, they could never defeat us ON AMERICAN SOIL.
It HAD to be gradual. It HAD to be Sun Tzu. It HAD to be carried out by Americans, on American soil.
I am really thinking now that SOMEBODY on the radical left realized that they could not set up CAMPS unless we were fully under the grip of socialism, like China or North Korea, BUT that until such a time, there WERE ways to trick us into allowing ourselves to be killed.
Disease used as a weapon of war can be efficient, but it’s obvious. But using the medicine allegedly meant to TREAT a disease as a weapon of war is NOT obvious.
Turning our own medical system against us is a cruel and cynical method of war, but I have to admit that it’s rather brilliant.
It’s a sobering thought.
Something is very wrong here. Stay frosty. I think that they’re trying to get as much as they can WITHOUT WAR, before they actually go TO WAR.
And speaking of WAR……
Mayor Gramsci III’s War On Freedom of Movement
The son of the torch-bearer of Antonin Gramsci, a founding father of cultural Marxism, is not exactly undamaged goods. As you can see above, Pothole Pete was (assuming this bit of news is not completely phony) a PRETTY SICK KID.
People like that are PSYCHOPATHS. Pet murderers rarely turn into saints. There is usually something VERY wrong with them – something that does NOT go away without a lot of GOD in the process.
Personally, I don’t care to push a campaign against “Mayor Pete” over his alleged juvenile criminality. There is a reason that juvenile records are sealed. Many if not most people “get serious” at the point of LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY. They grow up. Bad kids can turn out good. However, I still think Kid Pete’s history is relevant to Secretary Pete’s personality.
We’ve gotta KEEP OUR EYE on this boy.
I suspect that many people are glad “Possible Pet-Killer Pete” is “only” Secretary of Transportation. Still, he could do a LOT of damage there. For example, that office could be a real problem for an American truckers’ strike.
Trust me, Pete Buttigieg is not here to fix the roads. He is a typical communist control freak who is going to take our freedoms away if we don’t take him seriously.
And taking Pothole Pete seriously is hard. Because on the surface, the guy is SUCH a DOUFUS.
He wouldn’t hurt a fly – right?
So when this infuriating poser bicyclist idiot does something like this…..
…..one is tempted to view this as merely stupid and impossible.
DO NOT make that mistake.
“Zero traffic deaths” is not only a fundamentally and intentionally MISDIRECTED GOAL that has a “feel-good” appearance of self-justification – which leverages our wish to “do the impossible” – it is CODE for all of the following:
personal transportation for the elite only
Mercedes for the elite – Chinese Trabants for luckier serfs
where you live becomes determined by your job
Soviet-level, corrupt, inefficient public transit for plebes
no freedom of movement – internal passporting
omnipresent cameras and surveillance, just like China
TSA internal control, “papers, please”, and all the rest
This is how these ASSHOES bring CHINA to AMERICA.
Zero traffic deaths is just like MOAR ANTIBODIES.
A PHONY and MISLEADING GOAL.
Now, before we get to the fact that we simply have to stop this crazy commie twerp, you need to know him better.
A great AUDIO will help.
Notice how PRESCIENT this talk is, right at the beginning.
You will ALSO love the end, when you realize that TRUMP is headed straight into confrontation with this joker.
Get your rest, Trumpy Bear! You’re going back to the White House!!!
The Business At Hand
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL ….. RISE to the occasion!
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Try to live up to the FOUNDERS.
Value FREEDOM over COMFORT.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our enemies, perhaps that they might not fear our prayers, nor scoff at them, but simply HEED them and be blessed.
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
For your listening enjoyment, and general encouragement, we continue Wheatie’s tradition of fine music videos, shipped fresh from the seas of information by our intrepid authors.
I’ve decided to go straight for the “epic” genre tonight. Back from ROCK’N’ROLL and COUNTRY BABES to some CORE WHEATIE. But maybe with a WOLF SPIN.
Let’s start off with some EPIC VIOLIN….
Interesting, but not quite the real McCoy for classical fans.
So how about the same sort of thing, with “epic classical”?
Here you go!
And yet…. I’m still searching for something else.
Maybe a little “Epic Pop”?
AH. That’s what I wanted.
Call To Battle
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
…..and speaking of “getting out”, there are a HERD of RINOs who could be evicted this spring! Are we up to the task?
Who Are The RINOs?
There are too many – FAR to many – to detail here.
So I’ve selected just three of the RINOs who HAVE TO GO.
All of these RINOs have let us down – not by fake plots like the “Trump let us down” crap that was mouthed by “Buffalo Boy” / “QAnon Shaman” on the orders of Deep State and Woke Military, but by actually acting like DEMOCRATS and letting us down.
There will be more. This is just the beginning.
SUNDANCE has a GREAT POST about how we need to NOT just say “AWW, SHUCKS – cOvID is over – let’s just forgive the tyrants” – NO. There must be an ANSWERING for what was done.
If you see RINOs backing off and backing down, you know why. They know that they kowtowed and genuflected to the WRONG TYRANNY.
Let’s start off with the biggest loser in the bunch.
Doug Ducey – Arizona Senate
Horrible RINO Doug Ducey, governor of Arizona, who allowed the UniParty to steal the election from Trump, is no friend of the people. Term-limited to two terms, he can’t remain governor – but that doesn’t stop the UniParty from finding a new place to park his RINO azz.
The wicked OLD CROW Shanghai Mitch is pushing the election theft-protecting RAT Doug Ducey to run for the Senate, to help in Mitch’s CHINO-RINO plans.
So far, “The Deuce” hasn’t signed on, but keep an eye on this dastardly plot.
RINOs. They fight extinction….. HARD!
Greg Abbott – Texas Governor
Remember when it was Abbott vs. DeSantis for the title of “Most Trumpian governor”?
Well, look at who COVID and THE BORDER destroyed.
THE PEOPLE have a way of seeing ALL TALK and NO ACTION.
Not sure what happened to Abbott, but he has NOT been stepping up strongly.
So who has? STAY TUNED.
Mike DeWine – Ohio Governor
Mike DeWine is a nice guy, but there are millions of nice guys who are not equipped to be a wartime governor – much less fight a war against tyranny – against sinister forces – both foreign and domestic.
The enemy was quickly identified as not being COVID per se, but rather a coalition of self-interested VULTURES. Radical leftists, resurgent Soviets, European globalists, DC bureaucrats, psychotic elites, woke corporations, Big Pharma, virtue-signaling science and professional organizations, rogue intelligence agencies, the DNC, and Chinese hegemonists – and that’s before we start at the bottom with Mask Karens and vaxx pushers.
A conspiracy of instincts and interests – of people who have designs to plunder this great nation, and have already staked far too big a claim on Ohio.
MASS FORMATION PSYCHOSIS, FORMING A MASS OF NPCs.
DeWine made a HUGE mistake with his mask mandates and Amy Acton-inspired COVID buffoonery. Republicans tried to warn him as it became clear that we were being snookered by the leftists and globalists, but DeWine failed to listen.
Eventually people figured it out. Mike DeWine is John Kasich’s third term, just like Biden is Obama’s third term.
Do we REALLY want a fourth Kasich term?
UniParty Republicans have been good for business when the business was selling out America, but now that America’s gas tank is almost EMPTY, maybe it’s time for people who actually understand that profiting on a CHINA FUND isn’t actually WINNING.
Why DeWine is so beholden to the Dems and China is beyond me, but it may have something to do with Columbus, Ohio being a deep blue zone that runs a bright red state. I think the statehouse is basically OWNED by the surrounding turf, and the Democrats communists are able to control or at least influence the perceptions of everybody in Ohio politics.
In any case, DeWine is a RISK to Ohio. The left manipulates him with impunity. He’s a nice guy – he’s an easy candidate to sell to DEMOCRATS – but he’s also UTTERLY CONTROLLABLE by the DNC.
There ARE other choices.
And not just in MASKS.
Who Will Send the RINOs and DEMs Packing?
Looking at the three RINOs above, and in Ducey’s case, the office that he’s leaving, let’s see who is “chasing out the RINOs”.
Technically, it was TERM LIMITS that sent Dupey Ducey out of office, to be swooned by the OLD CROW himself, Mitch McConnell, to run for one of Arizona’s two Senate seats. There are several Republicans running for governor now. ALL of them appear solid on the issues, but the one that MAGA loves, and the left fears the most, is clearly Kari Lake.
The EVIL BITCH Katie Hobbs is running for Arizona governor on the Dem ticket because her “life out of jail” depends on it. More wicked Maricopa County cheating may keep Hobbs out of jail, too – but if anybody can beat her, it’s Kari Lake, so Hobbs is ALREADY gearing up against Lake on a “Kari is QAnon” platform.
Trust me – when Kari Lake is done with cheatin’ Katie Hobbs, Katie’s gonna look like the CAT LADY she is.
Don’t let Arizona become the next California or New Mexico. Kari Lake is the FIREWALL.
My, how Allen West has outlived the UniParty machine that always painted HIM as the whack-a-doodle – only for that machine to go along with the utter INSANITY we see coming out of Washington now.

(Hat Tip sundance)
The people who went along with all this crap need to be REMOVED.
End of story.
Yeah, Abbott ain’t Muriel Bowser or Kate Brown, but he’s no DeSantis. And speaking of which…..
Ohio – Jim Renacci or Joe Blystone
Ohio Republicans have a problem. They have three main choices for governor.
“Milquetoast” Mike DeWine, who will INEVITABLY order fresh mandates – to the ability that he can – if the Democrats and China release another virus.
“Constitutional Conservative” Joe Blystone – a “guilty pleasure” candidate who the MSM absolutely loves to inflate, then harass and scandalize, because he’s an easy target, with an utterly chaotic “Farmer Joe” campaign.
“Ohio’s DeSantis” Jim Renacci – who the media and UniParty absolutely DO NOT want anybody to realize is an option, and having been rather successful in that regard.
In my opinion, Blystone is the most like a Trump voter, but Renacci is the most like Trump. Do the math.
The media is clearly elevating Blystone to try to STOP a Renacci challenge, and keep DeWine in office, nice and controlled.
Renacci has LITERALLY promised to govern like Florida’s Ron DeSantis. Renacci also picked a very interesting Lieutenant Governor candidate to run with him – somebody very skilled with MSM-independent media messaging – an Ohio-based Christian film producer named Joe Knopp.
You may remember one of his films.
Knopp did a documentary on Trump, seen through the women around him, and in doing so, was spurred to enter politics.
Here is a great article on Knopp and how he became Renacci’s co-candidate.
Ultimately, in the general election, I will support ANY of these three against WHOEVER the Demon Dems decide to run. But for the primary, I think the smart money is on Renacci. He’s always been in the Ohio Republican machine, but he’s “new machine” – Trump era.
Blystone? In my opinion, his winning the primary leads by any of several paths to a succession of Democrat governors. And that is the LEAST of the reasons why the Democrats are behind him.
Trump was a finely tuned weapon that we aimed at the mess in Washington, and hit a bullseye.
Renacci would be the same for Ohio.
Blystone is a stinkbomb that we would enjoy throwing into the Statehouse – for ONE TERM MAX, and more likely ZERO TERMS.
Renacci has experience – as a mayor, as a Congressman, and as a businessman. I think he’s the guy.
And he can always appoint Blystone as Secretary of Cleaning Out RINOs.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
stalking horse
noun
A horse used as cover by a hunter stalking game
A candidate put forward instead of any of several potentially successful candidates in order to initiate a leadership debate, gauge feelings, divide opposition, etc.
A stalking horse is a figure used to test a concept or mount a challenge on behalf of an anonymous third party. If the idea proves viable or popular, the anonymous figure can then declare its interest and advance the concept with little risk of failure. If the concept fails, the anonymous party will not be tainted by association with the failed concept and can either drop the idea completely or bide its time and wait until a better moment for launching an attack.
Used in a sentence:
In American politics, George W. Romney believed that Nelson Rockefeller had used him as a stalking horse in the 1968 Republican Party presidential primaries by promising support, then not providing it and hinting at his own entry into the campaign.
