This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines, here, with an addendum on 20191110.
We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.
And remember Wheatie’s Rules:
1. No food fights 2. No running with scissors. 3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone. 4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns. 5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded. 5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty. 6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy. 7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. 8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.
The attention is on gold for bursting through the $2700 line. And the FRNSI is now over 130. At what point does it become worthwhile to simply wipe your butt with dollar bills rather than lugging them around in your wallet? (Honestly, though, they aren’t absorbent enough…so probably, never.)
As I said the attention is on gold…but silver should not be neglected! It has gone up over two dollars over the past week, and (net) almost all of that was on Friday after four days of almost no net movement. It went up $2.03 on Friday or 6.4 percent. (Versus gold going up 1.05 percent on Friday) And you can see the effect in the Gold:Silver ratio. In terms of silver, gold dropped over three and a half ounces.
Even platinum went up more on a percentage basis Friday than did gold.
*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.
Flat Earther Influencers are Mostly Lying Sacks of Shit
The Final Experiment continues to make waves in the Flat Earth Community.
I will link a relevant video below, but I’ll summarize here.
After years of happily saying that a 24 hour sun in Antarctica during southern summer (with it doing a 360 around the viewer over the course of a day) would disprove the Flat Earth viewpoint, but then saying “yeah but you can’t go to Antarctica” or flatly asserting that the sun does set in Antarctica, and furthermore that they’d love to go to Antarctica and see…
They’re for the most part refusing to go take a look. Everything from whining about how they’d have to deal with globe-earth “trolls” on the trip to…well, I don’t know what other rationales they have. There are three, maybe four going. (Four is if you count Candace Owens’ producer.)
Plenty of globe earthers are going, and at least a couple of them have vowed to take down their content and replace it with a video stating that the Earth is flat…if the sun sets during the five days they are at 79+ degrees south latitude.
Meanwhile other flerfers have begged the three that are going, not to go, or have already accused them of being shills. (Interesting. Before they even report back what they have seen, they are already bought off shills. Almost as if the accusers already know they will be reporting back that the Sun did not set!
One would think that if the flerfers are so confident of their position, they would positively relish the prospect of their final victory over the globers, as they point to the twighlight and say “So, Dave, where’s the sun?!?!” as they film McKeegan’s humiliation for their own channels!
That is how they would behave if they were really thinking of themselves as people with some special insight who have had their viewpoint put down and suppressed; they would love to have their day in the court of the brute fact that the sun went down in Antarctica during Antarctic summer.
Instead, with the exception of those who are actually going on the trip, they are acting like knowing con-men whose jig is about to be up.
Those reading this who have accepted the flerfer claims might just want to think about that. That should speak louder to you than all their shitty geometry, bogus astronomy, and physics claims which (let’s face it) should not have fooled any educated adult. The sad, blunt truth of the matter is that you have been suckered.

This post is part of Health Friday, a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. Today’s offering, a Special Edition, is in honor of Yours Truly’s “fully vaccinated and boosted” brother, who was just diagnosed with “sudden-onset dementia.” Yours Truly will make it clear that one is not a medical doctor; one is not treating my brother; and, this post is a “narrative primer” on negative neurological effects from the COVID-19 “vaccines”, the Pfizer-BioNTech COMIRNATY (BNT162b2) modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” in particular.
There are Important Wolf Moon Notifications; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain extra items that readers should be familiar with. They are all linked here.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has a website, www.vigiaccess.org/, that lists “side effects” reported in persons who took COVID-19 “vaccines.” The Mole article describes how the VigiAccess search was performed to find “Monkeypox” as a “side effect” of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2. A screenshot of the search protocol is below:
Yours Truly performed a VigiAccess search for reported memory problems (dementia is considered to be a form of “memory impairment.”) This is what I did:
Clicked on “Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine” on the list that came up
Clicked “OK” on the “Dialog” box
Under “Reported potential side effects”, I clicked on “Nervous system disorders” — and found a long list. A screenshot of a portion of this list shows “Memory impairment”:
These are only the reported cases of conditions that are considered to be “side effects” of BNT162b2. It can be argued that there are many multiples more “side effects” cases from BNT162b2 that are not reported for some reason. Yours Truly also performed searches on the VigiAccess list under “Psychiatric disorders”, and under “Metabolism and nutrition disorders”, as certain other details were given to one in phone conversations related to the situation which raised interest.
The balance of today’s post will be presented in a “quasi-scientific paper” form. With the exceptions of some in-line references, scientific paper, blog and/or article citations will be numbered in the text with [“number”], and listed at the end of the post. Hypotheses and opinions of Yours Truly (H/O) will be delineated by Bold text with Italics. A General Summary will be included at the end of the post.
First: A Short Narrative Summary of What Occurs When a Person is Injected with the Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA “Vaccine” COMIRNATY: The “vaccine” here is the 2024-2025 Formula COMIRNATY COVID-19 “vaccine” (which, by the way, contains elements of BNT162b2, the original Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine.”) Each “vaccine” dose is either supplied in a single-dose vial, with the dose to be administered withdrawn for injection; or, is in a pre-filled syringe ready for administration. (H/O)Upon “vaccination”, the person’s body immediately sends an “enemy detected” signal to the brain. The person’s body may react from fainting to chills to nausea, among other physical responses: see Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the COMIRNATY 2024-2025 Fact Sheet, below [1]:
The lipid nanoparticles in the “vaccine” quickly begin to spread the contents of the injection throughout the “vaccinated” person’s body. This process is called biodistribution. Images of page 7 and page 8 of the January 2021 Pfizer-BioNTech Pharmacokinetics Tabulated Summary of the company’s modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2, are below [2]. Yours Truly will again emphasize that BNT162b2 is the basis for all of the Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, including the COMIRNATY 2024-2025 Formula.
Note the accumulations in the Brain, the Liver, and the Large Intestine.
Note the accumulations in the Pituitary Gland, the Thymus Gland, and the Small Intestine. The intestines produce 90% of the body’s Serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is involved in the emotional / psychological / cognitive processes of the brain (per Wikipedia.)
Why is there accumulation of BNT162b2 in the Pituitary Gland? This small organ, called the “master gland” of the body, produces or directs many important hormones. Together with the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland work together to serve as the “brain’s central command center to control vital bodily functions”, according to Yours Truly’s online search at the Cleveland Clinic. These functions include breathing, stress response, reproduction, blood pressure, and more. (H/O): BNT162b2 and/or COMIRNATY is a “vaccine” to supposedly “prevent” a COVID-19 virus infection, not to work like a sort of pituitary gland treatment vehicle.
At least one of the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) in COMIRNATY, ALC-0159 (but listed under its chemical component name), affects the thymus gland of the “vaccinated” person’s body. The thymus gland is “the primary lymphoid organ of the immune system” (per Wikipedia). The Abstract of a paper [3] that explains how ALC-0159 and other PEG-based LNPs work in the body is below:
While the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) in COMIRNATY are spreading the ingredients of this “vaccine” throughout the “vaccinated” person’s body, the “vaccine” is using the PRRARSV “backdoor key” (an element which is only in the SARS-CoV-2 virus; and therefore, by extension, the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”) to facilitate entry of the “vaccine” ingredients into every cell in the “vaccinated” person’s body [4},[5]. (H/O)At the same time, the ingredients and mechanisms of COMIRNATY (BNT162b2) are beginning to work on inducing accelerated aging in the “vaccinated” person’s body, all the way down to the mitochondrial level [6]. Dao-Fu Dai, et al., wrote a paper in 2014 on how oxidative stress affects the mitochondria and the aging process [7].
N1-Methylpseudouridine is present in all versions of COMIRNATY (BNT162b2), starting with the “original version” of this “vaccine”, BNT162b2. N1-Methylpseudouridine is a synthetic form of Uridine. Uridine is an important nucleoside for neurological processes, for the central nervous system, and other body processes. It is found only in RNA. Below is the Abstract of the Yueyuan Yang, et al., paper that the mechanism of Uridine in the body [8]:
The importance of Uridine cannot be minimized. This RNA element is produced in the Liver. Uridine helps to regulate mood; it also assists in the release of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that “affects emotions, behavior, and movement” (per WebMD.)
The purpose of N1-Methylpseudouridine in COMIRNATY is twofold: One, to “supersede” / “overwrite” the mechanisms of the natural Uridine in the “vaccinated” person’s body; and, Two, to enhance the mechanism of COMIRNATY in “mRNA switches in cells” of the “vaccinated” person’s body (Callum JC Parr, et al.) [9]. Below is the Abstract of this paper:
Yours Truly will blow the lid off the deliberate inclusion of N1-Methylpseudouridine in BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY.) This chemical was specifically added to the “vaccine” to replace the processes of natural Uridine; and, to evade the body’s natural immune system’s “enemy detection and elimination” elements and mechanisms. Below are screenshots from the Global Patent for BNT162b2, 28 October 2021 [10}:
Note that this appears to be a tacit admission that Gain-of-Function experiments were performed to create the modRNA in BNT162b2.
Note that this appears to be an admission that self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) can be used in Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccines.”
In addition to the “replacing” of uridine with N1-Methylspeudouridine in the body of the person “vaccinated” with COMIRNATY, the DNA of that person’s body is also being changed; please see Slide 14 of this article for a graphic of how the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” change the DNA.
Meanwhile, the newly-COMIRNATY-“vaccinated” person’s body, having “detected” an “enemy within the gates” (the “vaccine”), is sending out “all-out effort” signals to the body’s natural immune system to manufacture large amounts of cells to “fight off” the “detected enemy.” These natural immune system cells include CD4 cells, CD8 cells, IgG3 cells, and lymphocytes. However, the ingredients and mechanisms of the “vaccine” hamper, damage, and/literally destroy these natural immune system cells, via the “class switch” [11]; while, at the same time, inducing oxidative stress and cell death at the mitochondrial level all over within the “vaccinated” person’s body; and, also, inducing a state (of a still-unknown timeframe) of “faux SARS-CoV-2 infection” in the “vaccinated” person’s body [12]. A screenshot from this University of Maryland Medical System is below; note the last sentence:
The “rationale” behind the development and use of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” is that the human body is not capable, of itself, to detect and “fight off” an infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus; the body must have “assistance” in the form of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” and their mechanisms. (H/O)However, it can be fairly argued that, given the multiple Adverse Events reports regarding COMIRNATY to VAERS and to VigiAccess, that this “vaccines” needs much more thorough R&D processes, testing on lab animals and then on humans, and extensive data collection and analyses, before this “rationale” can be fully proven. Pfizer-BioNTech rushed BNT162b2 into production, into securing the initial Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA in December 2020, and into this modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” being used on the general public, before any of the above were fully undertaken. Pfizer-BioNTech and the FDA knew, back in April 2021, that BNT62b2 could, and did, cause hundreds of serious Adverse Events [13].
Second: Physical Neurological Effects of the COVID-19 “Vaccines”: These negative effects are somewhat “easier” to identify, as they can present with unmistakable symptoms. From the Appendix 1. List of Adverse Events of Special Interest in the 5.3.6 Cumulative Analysis document on BNT162b2 that was cited above, some examples: Page 2: Brain stem embolism; Brain stem mycoplasmal (encephalitis); Central nervous system lupus; Cerebellar artery thrombosis; Cerebral venous thrombosis. Page 3: Demyelination; Embolic stroke; Encephalitis autoimmune; Encephalitis post-immunisation. Page 4: Epilepsy; Epileptic psychosis; Grey matter heterotopia; Guillain-Barre syndrome. Page 5: IIIrd nerve paralysis; Immune-mediated encephalitis; IVth nerve paresis. Page 6: Meningitis; Multiple sclerosis; Neuritis; Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder; Neuropsychiatric lupus. Page 9: Thrombotic stroke; XIth nerve paralysis.
Bell’s Palsy is also reported after BNT162b2 “vaccination” [14].
In other words, COMIRNATY (and BNT162b2) damage multiple mechanisms and processes of the brain that result in physical medical conditions and/or illnesses. This “vaccine” damages the sheath coverings of the nerves, including of the spinal cord (Demyelination.) This “vaccine” causes brain inflammations of various types (Encephalitis.) This “vaccine” causes stroke. This “vaccine” causes nerve paralysis. And more. (H/O) This “vaccine” can also potentially aggravate existing physical neurological conditions and/or illnesses, including ones that were under control before the patient was COVID-19 vaccinated.”
There is also what may be considered a “hybrid” condition, since it involves both physical and psychological symptoms, and since can be brought on by either an infection by the COVID-19 virus itself, or by COVID-19 “vaccination”: Long COVID (also called Long Vax.) Long COVID appears to be an “overraction of the immune system” [15]. Physical symptoms include blood pressure swings, fatigue, and “brain fog.” Psychological symptoms include depression, anxiety, and even PTSD [16]. The FLCCC Alliance has articles on Long COVID / Long Vax.
Third: Psychological Effects of the COVID-19 “Vaccines”: The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) consists of “closely-spaced cells” that act as a protective barrier to keep many substances from reaching the brain. Below is the National Cancer Institute definition of the Blood-Brain Barrier [17]:
However, COMIRNATY (and the BNT162b2 before it) were specifically developed to cross the Blood-Brain Barrier and to damage glial cells of the brain, down to the mitochondrial level [18]. A screenshot of section 4. Conclusions of this paper is below:
Recall that COMIRNATY (and the BNT162b2 before it) contain the lipid nanoparticle, ALC-0159. This lipid nanoparticle, one of the four within the “vaccine”, assists in the spread of the “vaccine” to all areas of the “vaccinated” person’s body, including into the brain.
Does the crossing of the Blood-Brain Barrier by COMIRNATY (and the BNT162b2 before it) also affect the psychological processes of the brain? The answer is, Yes: and, most likely, via the use of the N1-Methylpseudouridine in this “vaccine.” Recall that natural uridine, (which is one of the nucleosides that make up the RNA of the body) is produced by the liver. Uridine influences the brain by assisting in regulating mood, behavior, movement, and more. N1-Methylpseudouridine was deliberately included in COMIRNATY (and the BNT162b2 before it) to replace the natural uridine in the “vaccinated” person’s body with a created “faux uridine” (see the screenshots from the BNT162b2 Global Patent document, above in the post.) This chemical was chosen because it was “more effective” than the other two chemicals listed in the Global Patent documentation screenshot above in the post.
The Roh, et al., paper of 28 May 2024 traced a potential association between COVID-19 “vaccination” and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)and also of Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI)[19]. A screenshot from this paper is below:
While there is not yet a proven association between MCI and the onset of dementia, the potential is higher for onset of dementia in persons who have MCI [20].
At the same time, there is documented proof that COVID-19 “vaccination” can cause psychosis. Examples of papers published on this topic are: the “Aljeshi paper” [21]; the “Borodina, et al., paper” [22];, the “Lazarevna, et al.” paper [23]; the “Morz paper” [24]; and, the “Laxmi and Grover paper” (psychosis diagnosed months after COVID-19 “vaccination”[25].
Yours Truly will again emphasize that one is not a medical doctor; nor am I treating my brother. (H/O) However, I believe there is sufficient evidence to at least consider the possibility that COMIRNATY (BNT162b2) modRNA COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons are at risk of numerous negative effects to the brain, both physical and psychological, induced by this “vaccine”; AND, since it is unknown exactly how long the elements and mechanisms of COMIRNATY (BNT162b2) work in the “vaccinated” person’s body, the possibility also exists that the potential for any physical or psychological neurological negative effects from this “vaccine” may actually increase with additional injections of COMIRNATY (BNT162b2.)
General Summary: One: The Pfizer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” COMIRNATY (and, the company’s modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” BNT162b2 before it) can induce multiple negative physical and psychological neurological side effects and/or Adverse Events conditions in persons who take these “vaccines.”Two: COMIRNATY (and BNT162b2) contain dangerous lipid nanoparticles, among them, ALC-0159, which quickly spread the ingredients of this “vaccine” throughout the “vaccinated” person’s body, including to the brain, the intestines, and the pituitary gland. Three: COMIRNATY (and BNT162b2) contain the lab-created chemical, N1-Methylpseudouridine, which replaces the natural Uridine in the “vaccinated” person’s RNA. Four: Pfizer-BioNTech included N1-Methylpseudouridine in the formulation COMIRNATY (and BNT162b2) and stated this in the company’s Global Patent documentation for this “vaccine.” Five: Pfizer-BioNTech tacitly admitted that Gain-of-Function experiments were performed in the development of BNT162b2, per the Global Patent documentation for this “vaccine.” Six: Pfizer-BioNTech admitted that self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) can be used in COVID-19 “vaccines”, per the Global Patent documentation for this “vaccine.”

Before this last decade I had a major distrust of the British Empire and the City of London. I was aware that American Churches had been effectively neutered thanks to LBJ’s 501c3 LINK, but it was not until the Trump Decade that I realized just how EVIL the Cabal is and how much we have been lied to about EVERYTHING! Therefore I try to look at everything via a ‘suspicious cat’ point of view. That is my jumping off point. I no longer TRUST anything HUMANS say without a long hard look at it. I also want to make it very clear I am NOT a biblical scholar like my Dad was. So this is very, very rough peek at this possible argument. I am more concerned with the in your face EVIL I am seeing.
So in my mind the first strike is the connection to the British Empire. I want to be very clear. This is NOT against the person but against the influence that may have been exerted by the Cabal. Remember those whose messages they approve get promoted to the public. Others they disapprove of they squash and even go to the effort of killing the messenger if needed. I have had 2 up close and personal experiences with the Cabal’s handy work in that regard.

These are some of the Biblical references in the article Smiley recommended. I am using the King James version since that is the Bible I was given at Confirmation.
Deuteronomy 32:43 [Old Testament]
Rejoice, O ye nations, withhis people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, andto his people.
2 Chronicles 7:20 [Old Testament]

Ezekiel 38:16 [Old Testament]
And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days,and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes
And is not the return of the Son of God a very enticing thought for Christians? Can this enticing and seductive thought be used by the Satanists to manipulate Christians into doing as they wish?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
THE ALTERNATE POSSIBILITY:
Hosea 9:3 [Old Testament]
They shall not dwell in the Lord’s land; But Ephraim shall return to Egypt, And they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
Sometimes Ephraim is used to mean Israel.
…
Ephraim was the second son of Joseph and a grandson of Jacob…
The tribe of Ephraim was chastised for idolatry (Hosea 4:17) and their partnership with heathen nations (Hosea 12:1). The tribe of Ephraim was taken into captivity by the Assyrians in 722 BC when the northern kingdom of Israel was conquered. Even so, the Lord declared, “Is not Ephraim my dear son, the child in whom I delight? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him” (Jeremiah 31:20).
Reform Judaism, a religious movement that has modified or abandoned many traditional Jewish beliefs, laws, and practices in an effort to adapt Judaism to the changed social, political, and cultural conditions of the modern world. [Heathen Nations? — GC]
Reform Judaism sets itself at variance with Orthodox Judaism by challenging the binding force of ritual, laws, and customs set down in the Bibleand in certain books of rabbinic origin (e.g., the Talmud).
The movement began early in the 19th century, in Germany, with appeals from laymen for an updating of the Jewish liturgy and other rituals. With the liberation of Jews from their ghettos, many Jews began to question theirallegiance to such traditions as restrictive dietary laws, prayers in Hebrew, and the wearing of special outfits that set them apart as Jews. Many felt that Judaism would lose Jews to other religions if steps were not taken to bring Judaism into the 19th century…
Daily public worship was abandoned; work was permitted on the Sabbath; and 👉dietary laws (kashrut) were declared obsolete.👈
“…And they shall eat unclean thingsin Assyria…”
Was this not what the two Orthodox Rabbis were gently pointing out when they said it was Zionists, Reformed Jews and Secular Jews who set-up Israel?
AND
Revelation 2:9: [New Testament]
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9:
Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie….
If they are NOT following the teachings of the Old Testament, if “… they shall eat unclean thingsin Assyria...” then how can they be the Jews of prophesy?
Also:
Isaiah 19 contains a prophecy regarding Assyria that describes the condition of the Middle East during the millennial reign of Christ. The repeated phrasein that day inIsaiah 19is a reference to the day of the Lord, when He sets all things right. According to Isaiah’s prophecy, Assyria (modern Iraq) will join Egypt and Israel in serving the Lord (Isaiah 19:23), and there will be political unity among Egypt, Israel, and Assyria. All three nations will be blessed by God (verse 25) and be a blessing to other nations (verse 24). Jesus truly is the Prince of Peace who can bring unity to these three former enemies. Because of Jesus, the future of Assyria is bright. — Got Questions Org

MARK 10: 13-14 & 17-19
13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven…
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery,Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother:and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself….
If You are paying for bullets, as my co-workers were, to murder others, are you not also a murderer? If you agree with YOUR tax money being used to murder babies and toddlers, rape women and commit atrocities, are you not complicit? YOUR money is paying for not only the murder but the torture of women and children.
When the Israeli soldiers talked of stuffing Palestinians into a barrel and shooting the barrel do you think they were talking about adults? Or is it a lot more likely it was babies and toddlers that filled that barrel? Should Christians pray in front of abortion clinics where NON-CHRISTIANS are having abortions, but have ZERO problem with torturing babes & toddlers some of whom were possibly CHRISTIANS?? All because they hope the Zionist invasion of Palestine is the prophesied return of Jews to the Holy Land?
I am hoping that this at least makes you THINK instead of blindly following what another human is saying based on their understanding of the Bible.

…American memories were longer: The First World War was a temporary exertion, after which we withdrew into isolationism; during the ’20s the U.S. Navy Department still maintained a “Red Plan”👉 to deal with the contingency of conflict with the British fleet.👈
It was not until the war with Hitler that the gap closed permanently….
…Bevin, the unlikely originator of this revolution in British diplomacy, shrewdly calculated that Britain was not powerful enough to influence American policy by conventional methods of pressure or balancing of risks. But by discreet advice, the wisdom of experience, and the presupposition of common aims, she could make herself indispensable, so that American leaders no longer thought of consultations with London as a special favor but as an inherent component of our own decision-making. The wartime habit of intimate, informal collaboration thus became a permanent practice…
The British were so matter-of-factly helpful that they became a participant in internal American deliberations, to a degree probably never before practiced between sovereign nations. In my period in office, the British played a seminal part in certain American bilateral negotiations with the Soviet Union—indeed, they helped draft the key document. 👉In my White House incarnation then, I kept the British Foreign Office better informed and more closely engaged than I did the American State Department…👈
So It was not until WWII that Americans ‘forgot’ the British Empire was our long time enemy. Funny how this happened AFTER John Dewey’s Progressive education system (start 1915) had been in place for a generation along with the Banksters takeover of the Media ( start 1915) Of course it doesn’t hurt that the City of London now had a choke hold on US politicians via the US Debt and political funding. So after WWII, with their agents embedded in our government, the USA became the City of London’s source of cash and cannon fodder to toss at their endless wealth generating wars.
Henry Kissinger, the first Jewish U.S. secretary of state, stated — “In 10 years, there will be no more Israel.”
Sept. 18, 2012, I reported — and I quote him exactly: “In 10 years there will be no more Israel.” In 2005 he told me: “We will be going to war with Iran.”The hand that ruled the Western world is the hand that often stirred a good martini...
Seems electing Trump instead of Hillary derailed that plan. Or at least delayed it.
Henry Kissinger, who turns 90 this Monday, May 27, is one of the most influential Jews in American history—and one of the most controversial…
This brilliant refugee from Nazi Germany with the gravelly voice, Teutonic accent, and thick Poindexter glasses, embodied the pinnacle of a certain type of Jewish aspiration and achievement in 20th-century America, becoming a Harvard professor in 1954, Richard Nixon’s foreign-policy mastermind in 1969, and the first Jewish secretary of state in 1973, as well as the era’s most surprising sex symbol. For the past four decades, he has remained the dean of America’s foreign-policy establishment, advising presidents and foreign governments alike.
Just this month, at the Atlantic Council, Hillary Clinton wished him an early happy birthday.“Everywhere I go,” she said, “people talk to me about Henry.”….
The World Economic Forum wasn’t the creation of Klaus Schwab, but was actually born out of a CIA-funded Harvard program headed by Henry Kissinger and pushed to fruition by John Kenneth Galbraith and Herman Kahn. All three men were members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Schwab is more than a technocrat and intends to fuse his physical and biological identities with future technology….
YUVAL HARARI
Yuval Harari is a professor in the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
“We are probably one of the last generations of Homo Sapiens because in the coming generations, we will learn how to engineer bodies, and brains, and minds.”
Yuval Harari is a “guru” of the World Economic Forum — the WEF — the group of transhumanist, corporate technocrats who meet in Davos Switzerland each year to decide what direction the world should take in regard to whatever matter they choose to discuss. They believe that corporations and their selected leaders should rule the world rather than elected representatives of the people. They clearly wish to bypass sovereign, national governments, both democratic and communist. The gathering is led by the mysterious Klaus Schwab and many billionaires are invited to fly in on their private jets. Workers are not invited.
Harari is becoming influential and is listened to by many people anxious for thought leadership…. He is especially known as a promoter of “inorganic life” which seems to mean robots or the robotization of humans. That is transhumanism — the merging of humans and machines, guided by the philosophy that humans themselves are nothing but machines, some being “useful” and others “useless eaters”…
“We are probably one of the last generations of Homo Sapiens because in the coming generations, we will learn how to engineer bodies, and brains, and minds. Nowhow exactly will the future masters of the planet look like? This will be decided by the people who own the data. Now why is data so important? It’s important because we’ve reached the point when we can hack not just computers.We can hack human beings and other organisms….
I do not know about you, But I find Harari down right EVIL and Anti-God.
His past was Jewish, but today he sees Israel as one of the most racist societies in the western world. Historian Shlomo Sand explains why….Deconstructing the Foundational Myths of Israel.
The basic foundational myths (of a verifiable historical variety) are twofold: Firstly, that Jews were expelled from the Holy Land by the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and then dispersed to various geographical locations around the Mediterranean and beyond. Secondly, that the present-day Jewish citizens of the State of Israel are by and large the descendants of those early Jews… Sand points out, while the Roman Empire did brutally put down Jewish revolts in A.D. 70 and A.D. 135,the Romans were not in the business of ethnic cleansing….the Romans did not have the technological means to accomplish such a dastardly thing. So where did the Jewish diaspora come from? …The Jews living elsewhere are mainly the descendants of converted peoples. Ashkenazi Jews (Jews in Eastern Europe) are mainly descendants of Khazars whose King converted in the 8th Century. Sephardic Jews (on the Iberian Peninsula and north Africa) come from converted Berbers.
Most of those original Jews who remained in Israel under the Romans (and after them) converted — either for pragmatic or religious reasons — to Christianity or Islam. Thus, it follows — if it matters — that the closest genetic descendants of these Jews today would be the Palestinians who have lived there all along — not 20th century immigrants...
If Sands is correct the Zionists are busy killing the descendants of the biblical Jews.
….According to Sand, the destruction by the Romans of the Second Temple in 70 AD left the indigenous Jewish population of Judea and Samaria in place. “[T]he Romans never deported entire peoples. It did not pay to uproot the people of the land, the cultivators of produce, the taxpayers” (130). Furthermore, at that time there were already Jewish communities numbering up to four million persons in Persia, Egypt, Asia Minor and elsewhere (145). Palestine’s status as the unique “ancestral homeland” of the Jews collapses together with the myth of David and Solomon’s imposing kingdom.
Against the ethno-biological concept of a Jewish people — a “race” — whose linear descendants returned from exile to (re)found today’s Israel, Sand posits a religious community proliferating throughout and beyond the Mediterranean region by means of proselytism and conversion. He offers a detailed rebuttal of the conventional wisdom whereby “Judaism was never a proselytizing religion,” a view disseminated by historian Martin Goodman and others (150, note 42).
Most importantly, he concentrates attention on Khazaria, that “Strange Empire” that flourished in the Caspian region between the seventh and tenth centuries AD. By the eighth century the Khazars had adopted Hebrew as their sacred and written tongue, and “[a]t some stage between the mid-eighth and mid-ninth centuries, the[y] … adopted Jewish monotheism” (221). Sand speculates that this conversion was calculated to save them from absorption into either the Roman or the Islamic empires. The Khazars, he contends, engendered those Askhenazi Jews of central and eastern Europe who would later invent the myths of Zionism to justify their colonization of Palestine, a land to which they had no “ethnic” connection and where they remain the dominant elite….

I was also told that Israel is a USA ally. However when an ‘ally’ repeatedly knifes you in the back, You are either their slave or an idiot but that is a subject for another article. However I will leave you with this from those WHO KNOW – Three Marines who served in the middle east.
I NEVER SAW AN ISRAELI ON THE FRONT LINES EVER! — Shane Hazel
Background on WHO Shane Hazel is who made that statement: 10:30 -20 mins It also includes the background of the other 2 marines.
At 19 min the paperwork showing Alpha was not even in DC when the FBI went after him for Jan 6th ‘wrong think.’
Rough transcript 49 – 54 minutes:
Alpha: When you see what is going on with Lebanon, with Israel…. you who has been in some of these briefs…
Shane: I hate to even say it… put that energy into the world…
You have Israel and you have the puppets here in the USA, … the entire cabinet is Israeli… They have no choice, right? They are going for broke they have to go for broke…. The underlying issue is currency, or money in general. If you understand anything about the Rothschilds being a banking conglomerate for over 3-400 years now… If you understand what usury is in terms of money. Any man who can print money out of thin air that everyone else has to work for? You basically have unlimited power… so if you need to buy a king, if you need to buy a cabinet, if you need to buy the police, if you need to buy the intelligence apparatus, if you need to buy the entire media apparatus… You are looking at a POWER that has been powerful in terms of concealing it’s self for an extremely long time.
And what is coming unglued is this fiat state. ISRAEL IS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT FIAT. It was not possible with out the Rothschilds saying this is what we are going to do. There is a great video out there of this little Jewish guy who is interviewing Lord Rothschild. He has the letter from his grandfather basically stating this is what we are going to do as Zionists. Install a state down here in Jerusalem and we are going to call it Israel and we are going to move all these European Jews who are Ashkenazi who do not have ANY blood relationship [with Biblical Jews]… And now that banking system is coming apart… The proof is BRICS. They are tired of being ripped off by the dollar and not being able to keep up with the treasuries.
And then you have this other GIGANTIC FORCE in the world that people do not understand called BITCOIN. It is NOT crypto. what it is doing is taking everything in terms of liquitiy and sucking it into this finite amount…. The US IRS has not been able to post a positive in over a year. So they literally have no income anymore. They are bankrupting. They are trying to print their way out of this and the only way they know, the only thing they know is WAR.
So they are looking at this Gaza land which is rich in oil & natural gas. And now they are looking at places in Syria which is rich in oil & natural gas. The northern part of the kingdom Kuiwat… What they have going on right now is the Greater Israel Project. You can see it on the patches, Trump even alluded to it… “Yeah maybe they need some more land”…
I think what we are seeing is not only the disintegration of our empire [actually the British Empire -GC] but the Banking Empire [aka City of London – GC] This is the people that have EXPLOITED THE WORLD, AND I MEAN THIS! That have EXPLOITED THE WORLD for hundreds of years and it is coming unglued. Not only is our empire falling their empire is falling and I think that is what you are seeing over there [in the middle east – GC]
They have to create this, there is no other way for them [Israel] to stand on their own. The unfortunate thing is they are trying to drag us into fighting their biggest foe again.
If you look at Iran, it is the Holy Grail it is the Gem of the Middle East. Operation Ajax in 1949… with the CIA, it is the first Coup that we know of. We have been after that Crown Jewel for a long time. I should say the Rothschilds have been after it for a long time. I think the fact that people are waking up is what gives me hope…. The push back [against congressmen wanting war in the middle east] is especially strong in the veteran community…
Look dude [Israel] , we fought these guys, we fought all your enemies in Iraq, we fought them in Syria, we did all this kind of shit for you guys and WHERE THE F..K WERE YOU??? I NEVER SAW AN ISRAELI ON THE FRONT LINE. EVER! They were on the sideline they didn’t show up, they didn’t do ANYTHING! They were like if we get involved there will be war on us too. It was like WHAT! You were the guys that gave us the intelligence to come over here in the first place…
Alpha and Brian are nodding and making noises in the background as he says this. They then chime in with their stories. And yes THEY never saw hide nor hair of our ‘Greatest Ally’ either. Other nationalities fighting for the Rothschilds yes, but never the Israelis.
NOW do you understand WHY the Arabs hate our guts? We were SET-UP! And just like the EU, those who hate us are being imported into our country. Depopulation 2.0 maybe?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
An additional thought. If you look at the UK – USA conflict history you have:
1976 – American Revolution
War of 1812
1861 – 1865 Civil War fomented by the City of London
1913 – Federal Reserve Act.
What I missed was the City of London/Rothschild set-up for embroiling the USA in endless wars. The US Civil war ended May 26, 1865 without the Rothschild/British Empire succeeding in gaining control of the USA thanks to the Russian Tzar. Lincoln was murdered and less than a year later the first assassination of Tzar Alexander II was attempted in April of 1866. By 1881 a Jewish Socialist who some say was a Rothschild agent, finally succeeded in killing the Tzar. Russian Jews suffered a severe backlash as a result. This gavethe Rothschilds a reason to buy land in Palestine on behalf of others. This was the Rothschilds first step in creating Israel a useful source of endless wars.

Hope
There are two kinds of hope—worldly or temporal hope and the hope of believers. In a general sense, hope is a mental focus or feeling of anticipation regarding a future outcome, either of something we want to happen or wish to be true or don’t want to happen or be true. Secular hope is a subjective expectation; it may be solidly based or misguided, as it does not consider God’s will. We hope for things we want (I hope I get the job; I hope she’ll marry me). We hope for good outcomes (I hope my child returns home safely; I hope I don’t get sick). But worldly hope is not a virtue, as it usually contains some degree of uncertainty, doubt, and personal bias and can often be misdirected and selfishly motivated (Proverbs 10:28; 1 Timothy 6:17).
The biblical definition of hope is “the sure and confident expectation of receiving what God has promised us in the future.” The believer’s hope is not a faint or obscure wish but “an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” (Hebrews 6:19). In Scripture, hope is a virtuous quality because it contains no doubt, always trusting in God’s faithfulness and presence no matter the circumstances, whether good or bad (Psalm 71:5).
The apostle Paul includes hope among the three indispensable Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love (1 Corinthians 13:13). Love is the greatest because God values it most (1 Corinthians 13:13) and because it is eternal (1 Corinthians 13:8). Neither faith nor hope will be needed in heaven; we won’t have to trust an unseen God or anticipate His appearance because we will see Him and be with Him in the perfection of His presence forever.
Hope and faith are closely tied because both operate based on trusting God and living according to what is unseen. The author of Hebrews explains that “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1, ESV). Regarding hope, Paul reasons, “But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?” (Romans 8:24). Like faith, hope is built on our unwavering confidence in God’s goodness and power to do what He says He will do because of His unfailing love for us (Psalm 33:18; 146:5). Such confidence declares about our Savior, “No one who hopes in You will ever be put to shame” (Psalm 25:3). Biblical hope, like faith, takes custody here and now of God’s good promises yet to come.
Christians use hope in both senses. A pastor may say, “I hope today’s sermon blesses you.” The apostle Paul writes, “I hope to see you” (Romans 15:24) and “I hope to come to you soon” (1 Timothy 3:14) in his letters to fellow believers. But the believer’s hope is so much more than wishful thinking. The apostle Peter explains that God “has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3). We have the “hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time” (Titus 1:2). We don’t merely wish we’ll go to heaven when we die; the Bible says we can know it with all certainty: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13).
Paul’s hope was so secure in his eternal future that he was willing to suffer and die for it: “I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead” (Acts 23:6; see also Acts 26:6). Paul said that without faith and hope in God’s promise of resurrection life, Christians “are more to be pitied than anyone in the world” (1 Corinthians 15:19, NLT).
The biblical definition of hope includes not only the act of confident expectation but also the object of it—“Christ Jesus our hope” (1 Timothy 1:1). The psalmist writes, “For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth” (Psalm 71:5). Jesus Christ is the “hope of Israel” (Jeremiah 14:8; Acts 28:20) and of all nations and peoples (Isaiah 42:4; Matthew 12:21; Romans 15:12–13; 1 Timothy 4:10).
Having only temporal hope in people and things of this life is, in reality, to live in a state of hopelessness, “without hope and without God in the world.” (Ephesians 2:12). By contrast, the believer’s hope cannot be frustrated or hindered by anything in this life. We know what we have safely “stored up for [us] in heaven” (Colossians 1:5), where our treasures are kept secure (Matthew 6:19–20). xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/definition-of-hope.html

Today’s Health Friday offering is one a of a series devoted to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. The discussion is not limited to what is presented in today’s post: it is an Open Thread.
There are Important Wolf Moon Notifications; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and other items that readers should be familiar with. They are all linked here.
This post will be diving into some “interesting” rabbit-holes. Stay with Yours Truly — I believe they are all interconnected. There is a General Summary at the end of the post.
Note: the scientific paper referred to by Dr. Nevradakis is here: www.preprints.org/manuscript/202406.0060/v1, “Proximal Origin of Epidemic Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b and Spread by Migratory Waterfowl”, Nicolas Hulscher, John Leake, Peter McCullough, 3 June 2024; click on “Download PDF” to read or save the paper. The authors suspect Gain-of-Function to be in play. Below is the Abstract of the paper:
Since this paper is a preprint; and, that it may be a target for Retraction; Withdrawal; or, Reissue with “new conclusions” that would reflect pressure on the paper’s authors and/or the publisher, Yours Truly suggests that interested readers download or make a hard copy of the preprint version.
The International Bird Flu Summit was held in Fairfax, Virginia, on 2 – 4 October 2024. This is the website for the “summit”: https://birdflusummit.com/. Here is the Brochure for the “summit”: https://birdflusummit.com/Bird Flu Summit Brochure.pdf. Reading through these “summit” websites, one gets the distinct impression of a general tone that “a Bird Flu pandemic” is about to occur; and, that various “interventions”, “command and control” methods, and “monitoring and dismantling” of “misinformation” detected on social media platforms, etc., will be “necessary” as part of a “coordinated response.”
Taking a look at the Brochure for the “Bird Flu Summit”, here is a portion of one of the “overview” pages:
Seems innocuous enough. However, moving on in the Brochure, one finds this:
And, further along in the Brochure, there is this:
Military involvement? “Inter-agency Communication and Resource Allocation”? What is “Seamless Response”?
John Leake, who works with Dr. Peter McCullough, attended this “summit.” Here is his take: https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/at-the-bird-flu-summit, 2 October 2024. Yours Truly agrees with his impression that the speakers at the “summit” were “middle-of-the-road, rather than barn-burning experts” (my phrase.) One also agrees with the impression that the “summit” was all about “a Bird Flu pandemic being just around the corner.” However, this is NOT to minimize the potential for something like a “bird flu epidemic / pandemic” occurring — either from a “natural cause”: or, by another “lab leak.” Here is another view on the situation: www.theburningplatform.com/2024/09/22/could-bird-flu-be-the-october-surprise/, by Clayton J. Baker, MD.
FLASH! — The McCullough Foundation just got a demand from one of the speakers at the “Bird Flu Summit”, Syra Madad, PhD, to delete a video that John Leake and Nicolas Hulscher (another McCullough Foundation member) made of a Question-and-Answer session between Mr. Leake and herself at the “summit.” Dr. Madad is the coordinator of the upcoming New York City “Bird Flu Response Conference.” Please see here: https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/mccullough-foundation-receives-bird, “McCullough Foundation Receives Bird Flu Summit Censorship Demand”, 9 October 2024. Below is a portion of the article:
The transcript of the video follows in the article (the video was deleted.) Below is a portion of the transcript, followed by an assessment by Mr. Leake:
Turning to the entity that “presented” the event (Ginkgo Biosecurity), and the entity that “produced” the event (SyllabusX): this is where the “rabbit holes” emerge; and, something that Yours Truly will call the Big Pharma-Government-Medical Complex (BPGMCTM) comes into the situation. Yours Truly defines BPGMC as an “interwoven cooperation” among Big Pharma, Federal government agencies regarding development / funding / support (including the Department of Defense), institutional investors, private investors, and “Establishment Medicine” (CDC, FDA, AMA, etc.)
First, the “producer” of the “Bird Flu Summit”, SyllabusX. The company’s address and phone number: 1900 Campus Commons Dr., Suite 100, Reston, VA 20191; phone number: 703.466.0011. The company was founded in 2017. SyllabusX has its “fingers in many pies” regarding producing conferences and other events on student safety and security, on technology for educators, on health and biosecurity, and more (https://syllabusx.com/home-2; and, https://syllabusx.com/about-us.) (Note: it is not easy to find information online about this company, especially as regards financials. A couple of sources that Yours Truly found: https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/520513-39#overview; and, www.zoominfo.com/c/syllabusx-inc/480230653.) It appears that SyllabusX is a “privately-held company.”
The Chief Research Officer of SyllabusX is Ahmed Al Faraj (www.linkedin.com/in/ahmed-al-faraj; Note: this link may not work, unless the reader first joins LinkedIn.) And here’s where the issue gets, IMO, interesting. It appears that Mr. Faraj graduated with a B.S. in Economics from the University of Kansas School of Business in 2006. His languages are listed as, “Native or bilingual proficiency” in Arabic.
Before starting SyllabusX, Mr. Faraj previously worked for a company called New-Fields Exhibitions, headquartered in Dubai (https://inf.ae/.) While at New-Fields Exhibitions, Mr. Faraj held positions as Program Manager, Education & Public Health Group; and. as Program Manager, Defense Business Group. Below are two screenshots from the type of work he performed while at New-Fields Exhibitions:
Mr. Faraj also previously worked for a company called AdvanFort. He was the Chief Operating Officer of this company. AdvanFort is owned by a person called Samir Farajallah. His son, the then-Chief Operating Officer, was called Ahmed Farahjallah. AdvanFort is “a US private maritime security company”, per Wikipedia. The company was founded in 2007, and its headquarters office is in Herndon, VA (www.advanfort.com/.) A vessel owned by AdvanFort was involved in an international maritime incident in 2014. One of the stories that covers this incident is here: www,bbc.com/news/uk-england-34095843, 7 September 2015, “AdvanFort accused of abandoning British men facing India trial.” As a result of this incident, AdvanFort withdrew from membership in SAMI (the Security Association for the Maritime Industry): https://gcaptain.com/sami-responds-accusations-from-advanfort/, 2 April 2014. (Interested readers may want to compare the photo of Ahmed Faraj on the SyllabusX LinkedIn site, to the photo of Samir Farajallah and Ahmed Farajallah that is in the BBC article linked above. In one’s opinion, the “Ahmed” in these photos is the same person, with a perhaps 10-year gap between the photos. One has no objection to people wishing to change their names — this is simply an interesting item.)
It appears that Ginkgo BioWorks has quite a bit of funding. Below are screenshots from https://tracxn.com/:
And, some institutional funders:
The United States government is also funding the biosecurity arm of Ginkgo BioWorks:www.dfc.gov/media/press-releases/dfc-approves-11-billion-loan-ginkgo-bioworks-expand-its-commercial-biosecurity, “DFC Approves $1.1 Billion Loan to Ginkgo BioWorks to Expand its Commercial Biosecurity Business to Combat COVID-19 on a Global Scale”, 25 November 2020. DFC is the U.S. International Finance Development Corporation. Below is a screenshot from the article:
It would appear that Ginkgo BioWorks was involved in the “rapid deployment” of those PCR tests and antigen tests for COVID-19 at the start of the pandemic; and, also in the production of “two key raw materials for nucleic acid-based vaccines” (the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”.) Below is a blog post from April 2020 by Jason Kelly, another Ginkgo BioWorks co-founder, regarding the company’s partnership with Moderna in the production of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, mRNA-1273, along with other of that company’s mRNA “vaccines”:
Yours Truly has not, to date, found information as to the exact “raw materials” that Mr. Kelly is referring to.
Recall that the NIH/NIAID and Moderna co-developed mRNA-1273, co-own the patents of this modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, and share in the “royalty payments” for the sales and administration of this “vaccine” (and its “descendant clone” modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.”)
Ginkgo BioWorks also “has its fingers in many pies”, including the bio-engineering of elements for gene therapy: www.ginkgobioworks.com/offerings/gene-therapy-services/. One such “service” is the bio-engineering of bacteria for treatment of diseases, such as cancer: www.ginkgobioworks.com/2023/01/09/engineering-bacteria-for-cancer-patient-treatment-with-prokarium/ (Prokarium is another “partner” with Ginkgo BioWorks.) The bacteria to be bio-engineered is a type of Salmonella bacteria, which will be used for “delivery of RNA payloads to treat cancer patients.” (Salmonella is “the most common form of food poisoning the in the U.S.”, according to the Cleveland Clinic. This brings up two questions: One, “Why is a bacteria related to food poisoning going to be used to treat cancer patients?”; and, Two, “How is this Salmonella bacteria going to be bio-engineered — is it going to be “sanitized” to be a beneficial element?”)
In Yours Truly’s opinion, Ginkgo BioWorks is a company to keep “on the radar.” It is acquiring other “partner companies” at a rapid rate. It is expanding its “services” into the gene-therapy sector. It is a “partner” with Moderna (and, therefore, by extension the NIH / NIAID.) In general, one has no objection to a company wishing to increase its profit margin and/or the number of its partner companies; at issue here are the following factors: the bio-engineering of DNA; the use of “automated tools” for engineering / manufacturing “raw materials” for gene-therapy treatments and/or “vaccines”; and the tie-in with the federal government.
General Summary: One: The International Bird Flu Summit was held in Fairfax, Virginia, earlier this month. The general tone of the “summit” was that a “bird flu epidemic / pandemic outbreak” is likely to occur, and soon. Two: The “summit” covered many topics related to epidemic / pandemic response, “command and control” methods, and how “seamlessly” federal, state and local governments and the military can “work together” in the response. Three: the “producer” of the “summit” was SyllabusX, a company that manages events ranging from student security to biosecurity to health education. SyllabusX is based in Virginia. Its Chief Research Officer is Ahmed Al-Faraj, who had previously (apparently) worked for his father’s company, AdvanFort, and (actually) for several other companies. Four: The “presenter” of the “summit” was Ginkgo Biosecurity (Ginkgo BioWorks), a company that offers “services” ranging from commercial biosecurity to bio-engineering to gene therapy research. This company, based in Massachusetts, has “deep funding” from many sources, including from the U.S. government. It has multiple “partners” in R&D, including Moderna. Ginko BioWorks was founded by students and scientists from MIT, including Tom Knight, the “godfather” of “DNA hacking” and of “synthetic biology.” Five: It appears that Ginkgo BioWorks, and, possibly, SyllabusX, are part of what may be called the Big Pharma-Government-Medical Complex (BPGMCTM), the “reach” of which runs far and wide.
Yours Truly will again emphasize the importance of having, and maintaining, the highest degree of health possible of the body’s natural immune system.
I am still dealing with farm issues but wanted to get out this quick article.
First, all the rain this last month or so has meant my hay guy has no hay to sell. So I went to buy Abrussi Rye for winter grazing only to find the place I buy from could not get any help so no 50 lb bags for sale. We ended up with a TON (2000 lbs) in a large industrial sized bag. 😱 Thank goodness for great neighbors. My dually and that bag of seed is in a neighbor’s barn at night for the last week.
I mention this because of the larger ramifications. You need dry weather to cure and bale hay and this fall so far has been very wet. Now a large swath of hay producers has been wiped out for this season so expect meat prices to go down and then surge as farmers sell off the animals they can not feed this winter.
Then there is the mess in Western North Carolina and other states. FEMA is being the usual pain in the rump from what I understand. I had seen a comment saying that FEMA was confiscating food and water from the victims. Unfortunately this is NOT at all unlikely.
A washed out road on Sept. 27, 2024, in Boone, North Carolina.
From my old notes. 🤓
It is very very simple a bureaucrat’s main goal in life is covering his butt. The more bureaucrats and the more area covered the worse the muck-up. During Katrina, the goal of FEMA was not to rescue people, but to control them. Their directive was to relocate families and businesses, confiscate property, commandeer goods, direct labor and services, and establish martial law. This is what they did. The goal was never to carry out an effective rescue operation it was to protect the government from chaos and establish martial law. THAT is what governments (and bureaucracies) always do, they protect themselves first last and always.
As can be seen the help was there during Katrina but FEMA PREVENTED the help and helpers from reaching those in need because their priority was CONTROL not RESCUE.
KATRINA EXAMPLES:
I am listing these because I am worried the MSM will ‘neglect’ to report stories like these given it is a Democrat government and an election year.
BERLIN — “A German military plane carrying 15 tons of military rations for survivors of Hurricane Katrina was sent back by U.S. authorities, officials said Saturday…” LINK
In the midst of administering chest compressions to a dying woman several days after Hurricane Katrina struck, Dr. Mark N. Perlmutter was ordered to stop by a federal official because he wasn’t registered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
“I begged him to let me continue,” said Perlmutter, who left his home and practice as an orthopedic surgeon in Pennsylvania to come to Louisiana and volunteer to care for hurricane victims. “People were dying, and I was the only doctor on the tarmac (at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport) where scores of nonresponsive patients lay on stretchers. Two patients died in front of me.
“I showed him (the U.S. Coast Guard official in charge) my medical credentials. I had tried to get through to FEMA for 12 hours the day before and finally gave up. I asked him to let me stay until I was replaced by another doctor, but he refused. He said he was afraid of being sued. I informed him about the Good Samaritan laws and asked him if he was willing to let people die so the government wouldn’t be sued, but he would not back down. I had to leave.”
FEMA issued a formal response to Perlmutter’s story, acknowledging that the agency does not use voluntary physicians….
“…crews for three U.S. Customs Blackhawk helicopters stationed at Crestview Airport in Florida are “livid” because they have not been directed to provide full-time support for the ongoing hurricane-relief…Conrad says instead of helping people left desperate in the wake of Katrina’s wrath, the Blackhawk’s actually were slated to transport a CNN news crew to take video shots of those people.”LINK
Firefighters endure a day of FEMA training, which included a course on sexual harassment. Some firefighters say their skills are being wasted. (Leah Hogsten/The Salt Lake Tribune)
And the list goes on and on.

Executive Orders associated with FEMA that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to seize all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports, and waterways. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10999 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA’s Civil Security Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA’s role as a “new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis.” National Security Act of 1947 allows for the strategic relocation of industries, services, government and other essential economic activities, and to rationalize the requirements for manpower, resources and production facilities. 1950 Defense Production Act gives the President sweeping powers over all aspects of the economy. Act of August 29, 1916 authorizes the Secretary of the Army, in time of war, to take possession of any transportation system for transporting troops, material, or any other purpose related to the emergency. International Emergency Economic Powers Act enables the President to seize the property of a foreign country or national. These powers were transferred to FEMA in a sweeping consolidation in 1979. ^^They also list FEMA Camp locations too. LINK
“According to an online Yahoo program, the Global Position System coordinates for the White House, probably one of the best-known publicly owned buildings in the world, are 38.898590 Latitude and -77.035971 Longitude. And since you know that, it’s no big deal for the White House to know the coordinates for your front door, is it?
Some people think it is, and are upset over an army of some 140,000 workers hired in part with a $700 million taxpayer-funded contract to collect GPS readings for every front door in the nation.
The data collection, presented as preparation for the 2010 Census, is pinpointing with computer accuracy the locations and has raised considerable concern from privacy advocates who have questioned why the information is needed. The privacy advocates also are more than a little worried over what could be done with that information.
Enhancing the concerns is the Obama administration’s recent decision to put White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel in an oversight role over the census, which will be used to determine a reapportionment of congressional seats and could be used to solidify a single political party’s control over the nation, its budget, military and future…
HOW would they know who is hoarding?
Well there are your credit card records and those handy ‘Rewards Cards’ that let you buy featured produces at a discounted price. Many grocery stores have them.
That they are doing this type of snooping is established.
What you buy at the grocery store, where you live, and even your membership status at the local gym are all subject to a new data collection scheme by the American medical system. Reports indicate that hospitals and doctors’ offices all across the country are now collecting this and other personal information in order to target individuals deemed to have “unhealthy” lifestyle habits that put them at high risk of disease.
Bloomberg reports that hospital systems in both North and South Carolina as well as Pennsylvania have already begun tracking people’s food-purchasing habits by spying on them through public records and credit card transactions. Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS), which operates some 900 care centers throughout the Carolinas, has teamed up with a data-mining company to compile and track this information for the later purpose of calling “high-risk” folks and urging them to make a change.
“What we are looking to find are people before they end up in trouble,” stated Michael Dulin, chief clinical officer for analytics and outcomes at CHS, to Bloomberg. “The idea is to use big data and predictive models to think about population health and drill down to the individual levels to find someone running into trouble that we can reach out to and try to help out.”
I copied this comment back around 2008 during the ‘Farm Wars’ It may have been from a Yahoo group or from NoNais, I am not sure but it is a very telling comment.
I have been involved in a discussion about a USDA employee who visited an individual’s home in the Pacific NW and began asking a lot of questions about the person’s food storage practices & their raising of small livestock (chickens).…
I agree completely with the “do it quietly” mind set…. But in this case the Dept. of Ag was visiting all the homes in a neigborhood.
“A person from the US Dept of Agriculture came to my door and asked me a bunch of questions which boiled down to whether or not I store food. My daughter has ONE pet chicken, and this woman was looking at the chicken and asking if I have any others, etc. Do I garden? Any other animals? Also, she had a list in her hand of all my neighbors, and was planning to see all of them, too.”
Actually, I did see a congresscritter once who stated that the government really needed to either stop or put some guidelines out about people raising their own food. He said that most people did not know how to do it safely.
Gardening is the same way. Technically it is illegal….I couldn’t find the garden thing specifically. This was something a professor pointed out to me, though I did find it odd as well. It was somehow tied into “affecting interstate commerce” This clause however, seems to provide a loophole for anything the govt wishes to do.
“…Gardening is the same way. Technically it is illegal….” And she is correct.
As a lawyer, I am skeptical of this claim (I co-represented the prevailing defendant in the last successful constitutional challenge to federal regulation under the interstate commerce clause, United States v. Morrison(2000), one of only two cases in 70 years in which a challenge was successful). Congress’s power under the Constitution’s Commerce Clause is almost unlimited in the eyes of the courts, and thus can reach the “tomato plant in your backyard.”
…..Ignorance about the law’s broad reach (and how it will be construed by the courts) has thwarted opposition to the bill, which will likely pass Congress. For example, a newspaper claims the bill “doesn’t regulate home gardens.” The newspaper probably assumed that was true because the bill, like most federal laws, only purports to reach activities that affect “interstate commerce.” To an uninformed layperson or journalist, that “sounds as if it might not reach local and mom-and-pop operators at all.” (The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, has sought to forestall opposition to her bill by falsely claiming that that “the Constitution’s commerce clause prevents the federal government from regulating commerce that doesn’t cross state lines.”)…
But lawyers familiar with our capricious legal system know better. The Supreme Court ruled inWickard 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.
And that brings us to THE GOVERNMENT AND ANTI-HOARDING
I am using a 2005 article as my jumping off point:
The short answer is YES, in a roundabout way. Due to numerous discussions questioning the existence of federal anti-hoarding legislation, I wanted to see if such Executive Orders had been written….
And then she provides a list of E.O.s now superseded by Obama’s Executive Order 13603
(I do not know if POTUS Trump changed this E.O.)
Sec. 201. Priorities and Allocations Authorities. (a) The authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2071, to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense, is delegated to the following agency heads:
(1) the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer;
(2) the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;
(3) the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;
(4) the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation; (5) the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and
(6) the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials….
She then goes on to say:
These EOs are not aimed at anti-hoarding but rather at seizure or confiscation of items and facilities “to provide a state of readiness in these resource areas with respect to all conditions of national emergency, including attack upon the United States.” You’ll find most ‘seizure’ legislation ends with this phrase. These Executive Orders don’t define what specifically constitutes a national emergency and maybe this is as it should be. The specifics on hoarding are left up to the individual states.
SUBCHAPTER I—PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONS Section 4512. Hoarding of designated scare materials.
§4512. Hoarding of designated scarce materials
In order to prevent hoarding, no person shall accumulate
(1) in excess of the reasonable demands of business, personal, or home consumption, or
(2) for the purpose of resale at prices in excess of prevailing market prices,
materials which have been designated by the President as scarce materials or materials the supply of which would be threatened by such accumulation. The President shall order published in the Federal Register, and in such other manner as he may deem appropriate, every designation of materials the accumulation of which is unlawful and any withdrawal of such designation. In making such designations the President may prescribe such conditions with respect to the accumulation of materials in excess of the reasonable demands of business, personal, or home consumption as he deems necessary to carry out the objectives of this chapter. This section shall not be construed to limit the authority contained in .
EO #11051 is interesting; it authorizes FEMA near-total power in times of crisis….
FEMA was created by President Carter under Executive Order #12148. Its legal authorization is Title 42, United States Code 5121 (42 USC Sec. 5121) called the “Stafford Act.” During activation of Executive Orders, FEMA answers only to the National Security Council which answers only to the President. Once these powers are invoked, not even Congress can intervene or countermand them for six months….
Who will determine how much food we can have in our house? FEMA.
And the amount depends on the needs of all…not your needs or my needs…but the “welfare” of the needy.
Again, she gets it incorrect. FEMA’s job is the orderly distribution of supplies. The 1950 law confiscates and the 1988 law distributes.
FEMA:
According to FEMA:
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, PL 100-707, signed into law November 23, 1988; amended the Disaster Relief Act of 1974, PL 93-288.
This Act constitutes the statutory authority for most Federal disaster response activities especially as they pertain to FEMA and FEMA programs.
(a) Emergency Mass Feeding – The President is authorized and directed to assure that adequate stocks of food will be ready and conveniently available for emergency mass feeding or distribution in any area of the United States which suffers a major disaster or emergency.
(b) Funds for Purchase of Food Commodities – The Secretary of Agriculture shall utilize funds appropriated under section 612c of title 7, to purchase food commodities necessary to provide adequate supplies for use in any area of the United States in the event of a major disaster or emergency in such area.
However she is correct about state laws.

Hawaii As A Specific Example of Anti-Hoarding
For Hawaii, this information will be found in Title 10 under “Public Safety”. It is located after legislation on militias, state guard troops, etc. Then you find the jewel… In Hawaii you are considered a “hoarder” if you have more than one week’s provisions on hand BUT you have to dig to uncover this information. Here is a specific example:
“HAWAII REVISED STATUTES REVISED 1997, Title 10:
(1) Prevention of *hoarding, waste, etc. To the extent necessary to prevent hoarding, waste, or destruction of materials, supplies, commodities, accommodations, facilities, and services, to effectuate equitable distribution thereof, or to establish priorities therein as the public welfare may require, to investigate, and any other law to the contrary notwithstanding, to regulate or prohibit, by means of licensing, rationing, or otherwise, the storage, transportation, use, possession, maintenance, furnishing, sale, or distribution thereof, and any business or any transaction related thereto.”
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faces a new firestorm of criticism for claiming FEMA is out of disaster funds right as the DHS’ Inspector General released a report saying FEMA is sitting on at least $8.3 billion in untapped, unspent funds.
On Oct 2, Mayorkas said, “We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what is imminent.”
This new controversy is surfacing as Hurricane Milton has become a Category 5 storm, and massive evacuations are now underway in Florida, which is still struggling from Hurricane Helene, as is much of the Southeast….

The True Light
The apostle John opens his Gospel with a systematic, 18-verse introduction to the Lord Jesus Christ. A key aspect of Christ’s nature that John highlights is that He is the bearer of light. Jesus brings the revelation of God’s life and light into a dark world (verses 4–5). In John 1:6–9, the apostle explains that John the Baptist was merely a witness to the light, but Jesus is the true light: “There was a man sent from God whose name was John [the Baptist]. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.”
John the Baptist’s message was illuminating, but he was not the true light. Jesus is the true light, the real thing, the genuine article—God in the flesh. He alone reveals God’s glory in the world because He is God incarnate who “became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14; see also 1 Timothy 3:16; 1 John 1:1–2; 4:2).
By stating that Jesus is the true light coming into the world, John directly connects Him to Israel’s Messiah as the prophets foretold: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned” (Isaiah 9:2; see also Isaiah 49:6; 60:1–2; Malachi 4:2).
Jesus is “the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being” (Hebrews 1:3). He beams forth the light, truth, and life of God to the world and into the hearts of men and women. Jesus Himself declared, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12; see also John 9:5). At Christ’s transfiguration, Peter, James, and John caught a glimpse of the true light as Jesus’ “face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light” (Matthew 17:2). In the book of Revelation, John describes Jesus’ face “like the sun shining in all its brilliance” (Revelation 1:16). He is the “bright Morning Star” (Revelation 22:16).
Jesus is the true light of God for those who partake of His salvation. When we receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, He makes God’s “light shine in our hearts” so we can “know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6). Those who trust in Jesus and “believe in the light” become “children of light” (John 12:35–36, 46). As children of the light, we are called to bring His “salvation to the ends of the earth” (Acts 13:47). Jesus said, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
Several elements are necessary to sustain human life: light, air, water, and food are among the most critical. Jesus is the true light means He is our essential source of life. Without light, it is impossible to sustain life of any kind on earth. If the sun ceases to shine, everything will die. Not only is Jesus our light, but He is also the spiritual air we breathe. By His Holy Spirit, He breathes on us the “breath of life” (John 3:8; 20:22). Jesus is also the “living water” who, by His Holy Spirit, becomes in us “a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (John 4:10–14; 7:37–39).
Jesus declared Himself to be “the true bread from heaven” (John 6:32). He is the genuine “bread of life” (John 6:35). He is our life-giving, life-sustaining source. He fully meets all our needs and perfectly satisfies our souls. In John 15:1–17, Jesus revealed that He is “the true vine,” and His Father owns the garden. Christ’s followers are described as fruit-bearing branches. They are the true believers who “abide in the vine.” Jesus is everything we need for life because He is God, “the fountain of life” (Psalm 36:9).
Jesus is the true light is John’s unequivocal way of stating that Jesus Christ is the ultimate, one and only, genuine self-disclosure of God to man. The Word of God became flesh and blood, and Jesus Christ is “the light of the world.” In Him, there is “no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). His light is our “light and our salvation” (Psalm 27:1). Jesus Christ is the true light of God sent into the world to pierce through the darkness. Through His life, ministry, and message, Jesus brought the light and life of God to bear on everyone He encountered. That light continues to shine on earth through His Church (Ephesians 5:8; Philippians 2:15). x https://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-is-the-true-light.html
What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?
January 6 Tapes?
Paging Speaker Johnson…this is your conscience calling you out on broken promises.
For all your high talk about your Christian moral background…you’re looking less and less like you have any kind of moral background.
If You are a Patriot and Don’t Loathe RINOs…
Let’s talk about RINOs, and why they are the lowest form of life in politics.
Many patriots have been involved with politics, often at the grassroots, for decades. We’ve fought, and fought, and fought and won the occasional illusory small victory.
Yet we can’t seem to win the war, even when we have BIG electoral wins.
I am reminded of something. The original Star Trek had an episode titled Day of the Dove. It was one of the better episodes from the third season, but any fan of the original series will tell you that’s a very low bar. Still, it seems to get some respect; at a time when there were about 700 episodes of Star Trek in its various incarnations out there, it was voted 99th best out of the top 100.
In sum, the plot is that an alien entity has arranged for 39 Enterprise crew, and 39 Klingons, to fight each other endlessly with swords and other muscle-powered weapons. The entity lives off of hostile emotions, you see and it wants a captive food source. (The other 400 or so Enterprise crew are trapped below decks and unable to help.) Each side has its emotions played and amplified by the alien entity; one Enterprise junior officer has false memories implanted of a brother who was killed by Klingons. The brother didn’t even exist.
Even people killed in a sword fight miraculously heal so they can go do it again.
The second best line of the episode is when Kang, the Klingon captain, notes that though they have won quite a number of small victories including capturing Engineering, can’t seem to actually finally defeat the Enterprise crew. He growls, “What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*”
Indeed. He may have been the bad guy, but his situation should sound familiar.
We are a majority in this country. We have a powerful political party in our corner. There is endless wrangling.
And yet,
What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?
In our case, that power is the RINOs in our midst. They specialize in caving when on the verge of victory. Think of Obamacare’s repeal failing…by one Republican vote. Think of the way we can never seem to get spending under control (and now our entire tax revenue goes to pay interest on the debt; anything the government actually does now is with borrowed money).
We have a party…that refuses to do what we want it to do, and that refusal is institutionalized. If you’ve been involved with GOP politics, but haven’t seen this, it’s because you refuse to see it. Or because you are part of the problem yourself. (If so, kindly gargle some red fuming nitric acid to clear the taste of shit out of your mouth, and let those not part of the problem alone so they can read this.)
We fight to elect people, who then take a dive when in office. But it’s not just the politicians in office, it’s the people behind the scenes, the leaders of the national, state and county branches of the party. Their job is to ensure that real patriots never get onto the general election ballot. They’re allowed a few failures…who can then become token conservatives who will somehow never manage to win (Jordan), or can be compromised outright (Lauren Boebert?).
That way it doesn’t actually matter who has a congressional majority. I remember my excitement when the GOP took the Senate in 1980. But all that did was empower a bunch of “moderate” puddles of dog vomit like…well for whatever reason forty years later the most memorable name is Pete Domenici. And a couple of dozen other “moderates” who simply had no interest in doing what grassroots people in their party–those same grassroots people who had worked so hard to elect them–wanted them to do.
Oh, they’ll put up a semblance of a fight…but never win. And they love it when we fight the Dems instead of fighting them. Just like that alien entity, whose motto surely was “Let’s you and him fight. It’ll be delicious!”
If you think about it, your entire political involvement has come to nothing because of these walking malignant tumors.
That should make you good and mad.
The twenty five who blocked Jordan, and the hundred people who took that opportunity to stab Jordan in the back in the secret ballot should make you good and mad.
I’ll close this with another example of RINO backstabbing, an infuriating one close to home.
In my county, the GOP chair is not a RINO. She got elected when the grassroots had had enough of the RINOs. Unfortunately the state organization is full of RINOs, and the ousted county RINOs have been trying to form a new “Republican Party” and get the state GOP to recognize them as the affiliate. I’m honestly amazed it hasn’t happened yet.
In other words those shitstains won’t just leave when they get booted out; they’ll try to destroy what they left behind. It’s an indication that they know we know how important that behind-the-scenes party power is.
So they must be destroyed. That’s the only way they’ll ever stop.
We cannot win until the leeches “on our side” get destroyed.
What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*
We know it. What is going to be done about it?
*NOTE: The original line was actually “What power is it that supports our battle yet starves our victory.” I had mis-remembered it as feeds. When I checked it, it sure enough was “supports” and that’s what I originally quoted. On further reflection, though, I realized my memory was actually an improvement over the reality, because feeds is a perfect contrast with starves. I changed it partway through the day this originally posted, but now (since this is a re-run) it gets rendered this way from the start.
If one must do things wrong, one should do them wrong…right.
RINOs an Endangered Species? If Only!
According to Wikipoo, et. al., the Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) is a critically endangered species. Apparently two females live on a wildlife preserve in Sudan, and no males are known to be alive. So basically, this species is dead as soon as the females die of old age. Presently they are watched over by armed guards 24/7.
Biologists have been trying to cross them with the other subspecies, Southern White Rhinoceroses (Rhinoceri?) without success; and some genetic analyses suggest that perhaps they aren’t two subspecies at all, but two distinct species, which would make the whole project a lot more difficult.
I should hope if the American RINO (Parasitus rectum pseudoconservativum) is ever this endangered, there will be heroic efforts not to save the species, but rather to push the remainder off a cliff. Onto punji sticks. With feces smeared on them. Failing that a good bath in red fuming nitric acid will do.
But I’m not done ranting about RINOs.
The RINOs (if they are capable of any introspection whatsoever) probably wonder why they constantly have to deal with “populist” eruptions like the Trump-led MAGA movement. That would be because the so-called populists stand for absolutely nothing except for going along to get along. That allows the Left to drive the culture and politics.
Given the results of our most recent elections, the Left will now push harder, and the RINOs will now turn even squishier than they were before.
I well remember 1989-1990 in my state when the RINO establishment started preaching the message that a conservative simply couldn’t win in Colorado. Never mind the fact that Reagan had won the state TWICE (in 1984 bringing in a veto-proof state house and senate with him) and GHWB had won after (falsely!) assuring everyone that a vote for him was a vote for Reagan’s third term.
This is how the RINOs function. They push, push, push the line that only a “moderate” can get elected. Stomp them when they pull that shit. Tell everyone in ear shot that that’s exactly what the Left wants you to think, and oh-by-the-way-Mister-RINO if you’re in this party selling the same message as the Left…well, whythefuckexactly are you in this party, you lying piece of rancid weasel shit?
Justice
It says “Justice” on the picture.
And I’m sure someone will post the standard joke about what the fish thinks about the situation.
But what is it?
Here’s a take, from a different context: It’s about how you do justice, not the justice that must be done to our massively corrupt government and media. You must properly identify the nature of a person, before you can do him justice.
Ayn Rand, On Justice (speaking through her character John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged):
Justice is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake the character of men as you cannot fake the character of nature, that you must judge all men as conscientiously as you judge inanimate objects, with the same respect for truth, with the same incorruptible vision, by as pure and as rational a process of identification—that every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly, that just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero—that your moral appraisal is the coin paying men for their virtues or vices, and this payment demands of you as scrupulous an honor as you bring to financial transactions—that to withhold your contempt from men’s vices is an act of moral counterfeiting, and to withhold your admiration from their virtues is an act of moral embezzlement—that to place any other concern higher than justice is to devaluate your moral currency and defraud the good in favor of the evil, since only the good can lose by a default of justice and only the evil can profit—and that the bottom of the pit at the end of that road, the act of moral bankruptcy, is to punish men for their virtues and reward them for their vices, that that is the collapse to full depravity, the Black Mass of the worship of death, the dedication of your consciousness to the destruction of existence.
Ayn Rand identified seven virtues, chief among them rationality. The other six, including justice, she considered subsidiary because they are essentially different aspects and applications of rationality.
I’m sure enough of this that I put my money where my mouth is.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system. (This doesn’t necessarily include deposing Joe and Hoe and putting Trump where he belongs, but it would certainly be a lot easier to fix our broken electoral system with the right people in charge.)
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2024 or 2026 is pointless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud in the system is not part of the plan, you have no plan.
This will necessarily be piecemeal, state by state, which is why I am encouraged by those states working to change their laws to alleviate the fraud both via computer and via bogus voters. If enough states do that we might end up with a working majority in Congress and that would be something Trump never really had.

Interestingly silver did fairly well this week (it’s now worth more than 1/83rd of an ounce of gold now), gold, on the other hand, is slightly down, Platinum seems to be the biggest loser this week.
*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.
How QR Codes Work
A Common Phenomenon
Regardless of what you think about Flat Earth, this video should serve to illustrate a common mistake that I see many “conspiracy theorists” (the stupid kind I mean) make.
Basically the man in question went to the NBC website and saw a distorted version of this very famous, even iconic photograph, which even has a nickname, the Blue Marble, because when it came out in the early 1970s there was all sorts of buzz about how the Earth was a Big Blue Marble (great way to propagandize the kiddies!):
…and then proceeded on the implicit assumption that the distortion was the original. In the distortion, it appears as though the Red Sea (between Egypt and Saudi Arabia) was cut in half. Since it isn’t in fact cut in half, he assumed this was proof that the Blue Marble photo was originally faked. (BTW this photo should be 3000 pixels across if you want to fullscreen it, etc. As a bonus, it shows Antarctica so that’s doubly annoying to flerfers.)
When he did a bit more searching for the image, including on the NASA website, he started finding the actual original (with properly rendered Red Sea) a lot and assumed that NASA or someone had been going all over the web and cleaning up their mistakes…except, apparently, on NBC’s website, which somehow got overlooked.
I can assure anyone here who might actually think this guy is onto something and the distortion is the real version, that I have print books from the 1970s that show the photo with an uninterrupted Red Sea. Unless you want to claim that NASA broke into my house and swapped out the books with equally-worn copies…
This is a classic example of a phenomenon I see sometimes…a person with a nutty conspiracy theory latches onto the first thing they see, and if it happens to contain a bona fide error in it, there’s no convincing them of it; they will spin a huge unlikely story as to how “their” version of whatever it was is the correct one, and that the correct one is actually the fake used for a cover up.
Another example of this was a report early on in the Sandy Hook saga that described the wrong gun as being in someone’s trunk. Attempts to correct it were treated as part of the cover up. Interesting that people who would normally have no trouble believing a YSM jurinalist would fuck up especially when the subject was eeevil gunz, believed that this particular jurinalist at this particular time was infallible–because they wanted to believe Sandy Hook was a fake.
What’s going on in both cases is seizing on (apparent) evidence that one’s pet mistaken theory is true, and resisting any attempt to show that this particular piece of evidence, at least, is flawed–sometimes to the point of having to posit another incredibly elaborate or expensive effort to hide the “real” evidence. A mistake, a distorted jpeg, or something similar. This is actually a form of confirmation bias.
The Moons of Jupiter
Jupiter has 95 (yes, ninety five) known moons (as of 5 February 2024). When I was a kid, the number was twelve, though older books in the elementary school library would show eleven. Then a 13th moon was discovered when I was ten (1974), another one the following year, and then the Voyager spacecraft found three more…and at that point they decided they really ought to get on with naming them. The first five or so had been named for quite some time, it was the remaining sixseveneightnine (dammit) twelve that hadn’t been officially named though there were several suggested lists. (The next discovery wasn’t until 2000; the remaining 78 moons have all been discovered since then). Today, of course the list has outstripped our ability to think of names and the newly discovered ones are given temporary designators like S2022 J 3, for 3rd Satellite of Jupiter discovered in 2022.
Astronomers love to categorize things. And the moons of Jupiter are no exception. There are nine categories and I will cover them almost in order of distance from the planet.
The Main Moons, or Galilean Moons, are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, in order outwards from Jupiter. These are BIG. They are bigger than any dwarf planet (and that includes Pluto). Ganymede is bigger than Mercury and Callisto almost beats Mercury as well. All are spherical, as one would expect from bodies that size. The innermost orbits at 422 thousand kilometers (from the center of gravity of the Jovian system, essentially the same as the center of Jupiter), the outermost at 1,883 thousand kilometers. (For comparison, our Moon orbits at 384 thousand kilometers, so these are all further from Jupiter than our Moon is from us.) These were all discovered about 30 milliseconds after Galileo first pointed a telescope at Jupiter in 1610; you can see them in binoculars. They all orbit in nearly circular orbits (the key word, as we will see, is nearly), in planes within half a degree of Jupiter’s equatorial plane, all in a prograde (forward) direction. Forward, here, means counterclockwise as seen from way out in space, over the Sun’s north pole. Almost every large body in the solar system both orbits (either the sun or a planet) and rotates prograde, including Earth and the Moon.
Another group of four moons are called the “Inner Moons,” they all orbit within the orbit of Io. The first of these is the first moon to be discovered since Galileo, in 1892, and got named Amalthea. Amalthea is an irregular lump about 167 km across. Much smaller than the Galilean satellites and too small to force itself into a spherical shape. The other three are the ones discovered by the Voyager spacecraft in 1979/80, and are considerably smaller still. There’s also a lot of debris in that region, forming Jupiter’s rather tenuous ring system. Again, these are in nice and tidy, nearly circular orbits in Jupiter’s equatorial plane, all prograde.
Together these groups are called the “Regular Satellites” of Jupiter, which means the other 87 moons are all “Irregular Satellites.”
The Irregular Satellites all orbit much further away from Jupiter than Callisto (the outermost regular satellite). These in turn are divided into prograde and retrograde (orbiting backwards) groupings, each of those is divided again into actual groups. There is a naming convention, too. A prograde irregular moon will have a name ending in -a. A retrograde irregular moon will have a name ending in -e. Not withstanding this, a moon with a very high inclination will have a name ending in -o, whether or not it’s retrograde or prograde.
Prograde groups include Themisto…which is a group all unto itself. It’s the innermost of the irregular satellites averaging roughly 7.4 million km from Jupiter. It’s in a very elliptical orbit (0.340 on a scale from 0 [circular] to 0.9999… [skinniest ellipse possible]) at a 43.8 degree inclination, not at all tidy. It takes about 130 days to complete one orbit about Jupiter.
The next group is the Himalia group of nine satellites, named after its largest member, which is roughly 140 km across. They all orbit at about a 28 degree inclination with eccentricities ranging from 0.1 to 0.24. Average distance from Jupiter is 11.1 to 12.3 million kilometers, most of them being 11.4 or 11.7. They take about 260 days to orbit Jupiter. Four of these are big enough to be in the “classic” 14 satellites from before Voyager I and 2. These orbits are all quite similar to each other, hence the grouping together. It’s likely these were all part of a larger body at some time in the past.
The Carpo group, 2 satellites, are 16-17 million kilometers from Jupiter and are inclined at 50 degrees, which subjects them to all sorts of wacky perturbations resulting in cyclical changes to their orbits. Their eccentricities are very different from each other.
And then there is Valetudo, a group unto itself, in an eccentric orbit 17 million kilometers from Jupiter, at a lesser inclination than the Carpo group. It actually crosses the orbits of other groups’ satellites.
Now we get to the retrograde groups, three of them. The Ananke group ranges from 19-22 million kilometers from Jupiter and there are 26 of them. A quick eyeball scan of the list on Wikipedia shows inclinations from 145-152 degrees. (A retrograde orbit can also be thought of as going forward, but with an inclination of over 90 degrees so it’s “flipped over”, and this is how they get listed in tables of orbital elements.) Inclinations are mostly 0.20 to 0.23. It’s thought that these have a common origin, their orbits are just too similar for it to be pure chance.
The other two groups are the Carme and Pasiphae groups, with 30 and 18 members respectively. They overlap in terms of average distance from Jupiter, 22.6-24.2 million kilometers from Jupiter, taking as long as two Earth years to make one orbit. The Carme group inclinations are all about 164 degrees (i.e., 74 degrees but going around backwards), the Pasiphae groups are in a broader range centering on 150 degrees or so. In each case the satellites in each group are thought to have a common origin.
“Common origin” or “were once part of a larger body”, by the way, imply that there are more undiscovered fragments of what they used to be. The smallest size I see in the table is ~1 km, but conceivably there could be a lot of smaller and smaller pieces. 100 meters, boulder size, gravel size, sand grain size…at what point do you stop and say “this isn’t a moon any more”? It’s a serious question from me, actually. I’m sure that “real” astronomers have given it thought, but I don’t know if they ever actually came to a decision. It did, after all, take hundreds of years for them to define “planet” and they were only forced to do that when they found too many edge cases…a story for another time. (And here, they haven’t started finding really small items in Jovian orbit…when that happens they’ll have to decide where to draw the line if they haven’t already.)
So…broad patterns? Note that the retrograde satellites (by count, most of the satellites are in these groups) are all further out than any of the prograde ones. The retrogrades are almost always 2 km or less in size, though each group has one fairly large body in it, 35-60 km across, probably the “main” piece of whatever broke up to form the group. It’s thought that the retrograde groups resulted from captured asteroids.
There also seems to be a hard 24 million kilometer limit. I haven’t cranked numbers but I suspect that beyond this range the Sun’s gravitational pull is stronger than Jupiter’s, so it would tend to grab any satellite of Jupiter’s that happened to be in a larger orbit than this.
In any case, the retrogrades are basically debris, and even the irregular progrades are basically junk too. Except for the fact that they make good studies in orbital mechanics, they’re pretty uninteresting.
The interesting moons are the Galilean moons. And with that I submit my entry to the understatement of the year contest.
The Galilean Moons (because who gives a rat’s ass about the other 91 moons?)
The Galilean moons are, in order outward from Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Jupiter plus these moons actually looks like a miniature solar system, and you’ll hear the term “Jovian system” used to refer to the ensemble as a whole.
Although Galileo is given credit for discovering these moons, they were also seen by Simon Marius, and he gave them their names; Galileo simply called them Jupiter I, Jupiter II, and so on, a system which continues to this day; now Roman numerals are given out to newly discovered moons in the order they are named.
“Io” is pronounced “EYO-oh.” Don’t be like the clueless science jurinalist who pronounced it “ten” when the Voyagers flew by. (In his defense, that was the era when Bo Derek was the Queen Hot Woman of All Time thanks to the movie 10…for a whole two months.)
Here is a picture showing relative sizes, Jupiter and the four Galileans, in order top to bottom. This is actually a composite, just to show relative sizes; you’d never see this exact thing all at once.
And another, a real-time shot of Jupiter and all four Galileans. Since some are closer than others, it’s not quite to scale; it is however a “real” snapshot of all five bodies at the same time. If you were to somehow have been able to stand there, this is what you’d have seen. Two of the moons are probably invisible; if so, right click and select “open image in new tab” and even there they will be just single-pixel dots, and one is barely more than a dot)
And now for some raw numbers, with our own Moon tossed in for comparison:

Note that Ganymede is by far the largest; it’s even larger than the planet Mercury.
But also note something else: In the time it takes Ganymede to orbit Jupiter once, Europa will orbit exactly twice, and Io will orbit exactly four times. This is known as an orbital resonance. However, they won’t line up all at once. Io will lap Europa on one side of Jupiter, and then on the other side of Jupiter, Europa will lap Ganymede. See the animation below, where the inner moons will lap “above” Jupiter, and Europa and Ganumede will lap “below” Jupiter.
That’s a simulation, what’s below is based on actual data (notice the time stamp):
This turns out to be important.
Another thing to note is the average densities. Io and Europa (and our Moon) all have densities a bit above 3.0 that of water. We know our own moon is a big ball of rock with very little nickel-iron in its core. And your average generic rock has about that density (though there are plenty of kinds of minerals that come in far higher, such as for instance native gold, a/k/a gold nuggets). So this isn’t unreasonable for moons of Jupiter. However Ganymede and Callisto are considerably less dense, an indication that they are largely ice.
Jupiter I: Io
Io has a very unusual appearance, it almost looks like a pizza. As it happens, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. If you don’t like its looks, come back an a few centuries; the entire surface will have been replaced. That’s how volcanic it is. it even has mountains taller than Everest!
This is a pair of pictures of Tvashtar Paterae, taken in November 1999 and February 2000, and yes, that’s lava in the right hand frame.
Volcanism requires heat. And if you’ll recall, Mars…a considerably larger body…does not have volcanism any more (in spite of the largest known volcano being there). Mars has cooled off too much. Why hasn’t Io cooled off?
The answer is (wait for it) tidal forces. (I warned you before I started the tour of the solar system that tidal forces would show up when you least expect them…I did warn you.) Io is in a slightly elliptical orbit (very slightly but still, not quite perfectly circular) and that means it slows down and speeds up in different parts of its orbit, while its rotation (tidally locked to Jupiter) is at a constant rate. This causes Io to stretch and compress, which generates the heat, which causes the insane amounts of volcanism. The surface coloration is largely sulfur. Io’s eruptions have been captured on camera by Voyager, the Galileo orbiter, and Juno.
Some of the stuff that gets erupted ends up in orbit around Io, as very small particles perhaps even single atoms, and some of that gets heated and escapes into orbit around Jupiter. At some point much of this stuff gets ionized. As a result there’s a “neutral cloud” near Io, and a donut or torus of ionized matter roughly where Io orbits. Since this stuff is charged and moving, it actually contributes to Jupiter’s magnetic field…perhaps as much as 50 percent of the total.
This picture not only shows the torus of ionized Io-stuff in red and the neutral cloud in yellow, it shows a third feature in green, the flux tube, which connects Io to Jupiter’s polar regions and can cause aurora-like displays in Jupiter’s atmosphere. But Io itself can have interesting displays, visible when it is in Jupiter’s shadow:
(From the caption on Wikipoo: Auroral glows in Io’s upper atmosphere. Different colors represent emission from different components of the atmosphere (green comes from emitting sodium, red from emitting oxygen, and blue from emitting volcanic gases like sulfur dioxide). Image taken while Io was in eclipse.)
Another source of tidal forces is the pull of Europa and Callisto, with the resonances enhancing the effect.
This was a total surprise when it was discovered back around 1980. And since then it has become clear to planetary scientists that in many cases the moons of the outer planets can be more interesting than the planets themselves.
Jupiter II: Europa
Most especially the second Galilean moon, Europa. What we see when we look at Europa is a solid sheet of ice; it’s the smoothest body in the solar system, and appears to have a 100km thick layer of water above the typical rocky interior. What makes it interesting, though, is that that 100km layer is almost certainly not frozen solid. It’s probably tens of kilometers of ice, sure, but above a world-wide ocean of liquid water, a lot of it, probably more than we have on Earth. (So aliens coming here to steal our water [which is ridiculous because water is almost certainly the most common compound in the universe] would be better off going to Europa.)
(From Wikipoo caption: Closeup views of Europa obtained on 26 September 1998; images clockwise from upper left show locations from north to south as indicated at lower left.)
That water is likely heated by volcanic activity too, for the same reason as Io…but less so. Tidal forces are much lower here. However, the forces will often crack the ice layer, and liquid water will rise under the pressure, with the breaks freezing over, which results in the darker lines. These areas might offer better access to the water, which we want because…
Water is the one thing all life (that we know of!) needs. Not oxygen, but water! This makes Europa a prime candidate for extraterrestrial life, especially since we know that on Earth, “smokers” on the ocean floor host entire ecosystems, and such “smokers” are almost certainly present on Io.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, staying in his lane academically, has said he wants to go ice fishing on Io. He’s not alone in this.
On the 10th of this month, we will launch the Europa Clipper, a spacecraft that will orbit Jupiter, but do so in a way that maximizes the time it will spend on Europa flybys. It’s the largest interplanetary spacecraft developed by NASA. Since it is so big, the booster needs help; it will do gravity boosts off Earth and Mars before arriving at Jupiter in April 2030. This is just a preliminary for a Europa Lander, still on the drawing board.
We’re going after Europa with gusto!
Jupiter III: Ganymede
Ganymede is also covered in ice, with a likely liquid ocean 200km down. It’s colder and harder to get to, so it’s not as tantalizing as Europa. It’s not completely geologically dead: it apparently has at least some liquid iron in its core since it actually possesses a magnetosphere (so far the only moon known to do so). It’s the largest moon in the solar system. As I’ve noted before, it’s actually larger than the planet Mercury, but only 45 percent as massive since so much of it is ice, and because Mercury has a very large iron core for its size. The surface area is in fact over half as much as all of the land on Earth. Unfortunately, it’s mostly ice–and not just a covering, but a full crustal layer of it–and blasted by radiation from Jupiter’s magnetosphere, so it turns out not to be a good place for a realtor to hang a “for sale” sign.
This is Tros crater. In mythology, Tros was Ganymede’s father, and Ganymede himself was Jupiter’s cupbearer (and likely homosexual lover)
Ganymede also has the distinction of being the largest body in the solar system with no significant atmosphere.
Jupiter IV: Callisto
Callisto is a bit smaller than Ganymede, and is the third largest moon in the solar system. (#2 is Titan, a moon of Saturn. And our moon is at #5, just ahead of Europa.) Callisto is remarkable for being very heavily cratered, an indication that its surface has not eroded much or been “worked over” by processes on Callisto itself. It’s far enough out from Jupiter to have very little effect from tidal forces, and it’s not in any sort of resonance with the other moons. Callisto, in fact, has an impact basin named Valhalla, which is 3800 kilometers across!
Callisto may, in fact, be an even mixture of rock and ice, not even having differentiated much with the heavy stuff going down to the core when it formed.
Of the four, Callisto is of least interest for finding life, but it is of great interest for perhaps preserving it. It’s far enough away from Jupiter’s magnetic field and radiation belts that it could perhaps be useful for a manned base from which we could explore the rest of the Jovian system.
So that is a summary of the Moons of Jupiter, all of which rank among the most interesting bodies in our solar system. Were they not in orbit about Jupiter, they’d all be planets in their own right.
As a bonus I will conclude with this diagram, which shows many of the moons in the Solar System, with Pluto and Earth thrown in for good measure. Any moon large enough to force itself into a spherical shape is shown here.
(Oh, and note the Red Sea glitch doesn’t appear on this copy of the Blue Marble photo.)

Today’s offering for Health Friday concerns what is called self-amplifying RNA (saRNA.) As the presentation includes discussion of saRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, this post is dedicated to the memory of Yours Truly’s cousin Bill, who “died suddenly and unexpectedly” in September 2023.
Readers already know about the Important Wolf Moon Notifications, the importance of Civil Discussion, the Rules of our late, good Wheatie, and the caveats regarding Health Friday posts by Yours Truly. Links to these items can be found here. NOTE: Since this post is detailed and there are multiple areas to cover, Yours Truly has added Summaries of certain sections, and a General Summary at the end.
Before one begins: It is well known that the modRNA and the viral vector COVID-19 “vaccines” currently in use have been, and are, a disaster on multiple fronts. Not only do they induce literally thousands of negative medical and psychological effects in the bodies of those who took them and who take them now; these “vaccines” also cause death. The numbers of COVID-19 “vaccinated” persons presenting with COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced illnesses, injuries, disabilities, or “died suddenly and unexpectedly” are increasing by the month. Nobody knows exactly how long, or in what amount, the elements and mechanisms of the COVID-19 “vaccines” work in the “vaccinated” person’s body: what IS known, is that whatever “protection” is conferred by these “vaccines” is short-lived, while, at the same time, the “vaccine” mechanisms linger on in the body for an indeterminate period of time. Yours Truly has written extensively for this board regarding this situation. For further information, please see websites such as these: https://kirschsubstack.com/ (Steve Kirsch); https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/ (Peter McCullough, MD); and, https://phinancetechnologies.com/HumanityProjects/Projects.htm#Nav_ExcessDeaths (Ed Dowd, statistician.)
At the same time, the development of new types of COVID-19 “vaccines”, as well as new types of “vaccine delivery” (intranasal, oral, and aerosol, for examples) goes on apace. One of the “newest” types of COVID-19 “vaccines” uses what is called self-amplifying RNA, or saRNA.
The concept of saRNA is the use of a small amount of RNA (or mRNA) in an injectable. Once introduced into the body of the patient, the saRNA theoretically goes to work, “re-creating itself.” (Think RNA or mRNA being turned into a “Xerox copier” inside the “vaccinated” person’s body.) The “goal” of saRNA is for the agent to “re-create itself” inside the “vaccinated” person’s body for a certain amount of time and in some amount. The patient’s body is “instructed” by the saRNA to “recognize” and produce antibodies against certain “enemies”, such as viruses. The theory is that a smaller amount of saRNA initially introduced into the body, followed by the “Xerox copier effect”, then followed by “instructing” the body to “recognize” and fight off certain “enemies”, will make saRNA a “more effective use” of mRNA in injectables.
Basically,saRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” turn the “vaccinated” person’s body into a “Xerox copier” (which, apparently, the “vaccinated” person’s body CANNOT stop, slow down, or mitigate) for the ingredients (and, by extension, the mechanisms) of the saRNA “vaccine.” Today’s post is a primer about saRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.”
****** Summary: In other words, saRNA injectables **may**, at some point down the road, have **some** benefits. In the meantime — NONE of these types of injectables (GEMCOVAC, Kostaive) have been SUFFICIENTLY AND THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED AND TESTED FOR USE ON HUMANS. But they are being approved ANYWAY, and are being injected into the bodies of unsuspecting persons who buy into the “Look, this shot has less mRNA than the ones you took before, and it’ll work better!” hype.
****** Look closely at the above graphic. It appears that the basic schema of saRNA is a “double-layer” of saRNA “replicons” that create a “subgenomic RNA.” This, in turn, creates the “Xerox copier” response which forces the body of the saRNA “vaccinated” person to endlessly produce immune system response— and for “at least” as long as 28 days after such “vaccination.”
Please see this paper regarding a discussion of saRNA “vaccine” design: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tibtech.2023.05.007, “Rise of the RNA machines — self-amplification in RNA vaccine design”, Jerome D.G. Comes, et al., 14 June 2023. Below is the Abstract of this paper:
Note the language about “,…at least in theory” advantage of saRNA “vaccines.” Also note the last sentence — saRNA can “persist for a month.” In fact,nobody really knows how long saRNA elements will “persist” in the body of the person who takes this type of “vaccine” — NO long-term clinical trial or study has been performed using this technology.
On 28 November 2023, the Japanese Government approved the use of the saRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, ARCT-154 (also called LUNAR-COVID-19 and Kostaive) for “active immunization” (translation: “prevention”) against COVID-19 for persons age 18 and older. Kostaive was developed by CSL / Arcturus (remember this company? Yours Truly took the lid off it here: www.theqtree.com/2024/08/02/the-hhs-gave-the-go-ahead-to-use-an-h5n1-vaccine-but-the-ama-just-issued-new-cpt-codes-for-an-h5n8-vaccine/.) This “vaccine” was to have supplies ready for administration by physicians or hospitals by mid-December 2023.
CSL / Arcturus, the Japanese government, and media outlets were quick to herald this “first-ever saRNA COVID-19 “vaccine.” Except — there already was an saRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” approved and in use, since 2022, in India: GEMCOVAC. Perhaps what CSL / Arcturus, the Japanese government, and media outlets should have mentioned the fact that Kostaive is modRNA-based from the J.1. Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant (along with other “familiar” manufacturing methods, see below in today’s post); whereas GEMCOVAC based on an “ancestral variant” (in other words, the Beta variant) of the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Before Yours Truly presents information on Kostaive, she will first discuss GEMOCOVAC. This is in order to present further background information on saRNA technology as applied in COVID-19 “vaccines.” Stay with me — this is all germane to the situation:
Looking at GEMCOVAC, one can get the beginning of a picture of how saRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” work. The “latest version” of this “vaccine” is called GEMCOVAC-OM. Below is a portion of the SmPC pdf for this product (https://gemcovac.com; scroll down the page to GEMCOVAC-OM SmPC (pdf) and click “Download”):
The BA.1. Omicron variant of SARS-Co-V-2 is the basis for this “vaccine.” It is not strictly modRNA (however, recall that ALL of the “descendant variants” of the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus contain elements of that original lab-created virus).
Of the excipients (in other words, the adjuvants): per Wikipedia, DOTAP (1,2-Dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium propane) is a chemical used in fabric softeners, but also is used as a lipid nanoparticle in vaccines. Squalene: below is Page 1 of the FisherScientific MSDS Safety Data Sheet for this chemical (www.fishersci.com/):
Continuing: for polysorbate 80, again from Fisher Scientific, Page 1 of the MSDS Safety Data Sheet:
And, here is the Mechanism of Action for GEMCOVAC-OM, from the Package Insert (see the link above):
Note the language, “…which is reported to interact with host cells receptors (ACE-2.)” (Italics mine.) The developer and manufacturer (GENNOVA) of this “vaccine” can’t exactly quantify how the product works.
Yours Truly now turns to Kostaive, (ARCT-154) the saRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” that was approved by the Japanese government in November 2023.
Note the language in the above regarding “…the potential for extended duration of protection while using lower doses of mRNA compared to existing mRNA vaccines.” (Italics mine) Again, nobody knows exactly how long this “extended duration” period is; nobody knows exactly how much “Xerox copying” of the altered mRNA in Kostaive occurs during this period in the “vaccinated” person’s body; and, nobody knows exactly what effects this “Xerox copying” of the altered mRNA in Kostaive will have in the “vaccinated” person’s body. In other words, anyone who takes Kostaive, or any saRNA “vaccine”, in Yours Truly’s opinion, is being used a “human lab rat” — just as people were used / are still being used, as “human lab rats” for the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines.”
And, here is the Report of the Deliberation Results (which contains the information about Kostaive that led to its approval) from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare: www.pmda.go.jp/files/000269813.pdf. This report is an interesting read. There are numerous “blacked-out” areas, reminding one of the blacked-out areas in certain publicly-released Pfizer-BioNTech reports that the company gave to the FDA regarding that company’s modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” BNT162b2. HOWEVER, section 2.1 Active Substance for Kostaive states that this saRNA “vaccine” contains elements from the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus, plus elements from the Omicron variant strain. More information on this is found on Page 4 of the document. Below is a portion of this page:
Looking at the above, starting with the D614G mutation, the Abstract from the Zhang, et al. paper on this (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19808-4, “SARS-CoV-2 spike-protein D614G mutation increases virion spike density and infectivity”, Lizhou Zhang, et al., 26 November 2020. The paper was researched and published before any COVID-19 “vaccine” was authorized for use):
In other words, the D614G element causes the SARS-CoV-2 virus to be more infective.
Looking at V987P, part of the section Full-Length S Glycoprotein Vaccines from this paper: https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2021/701501, “SARs-CoV-2 Vaccines Based on the Spike Glycoprotein and Implications of New Viral Variants”, Daniel Martinez-Flores, et al., 11 July 2021):
In other words, if V987P was “good enough” for Pfizer-BioNTech and for Moderna to use in their modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, it apparently was “good enough” to be used in Kostaive.
The K986P protein used in Kostaive: please see here: www.rcsb.org/structure/6zp1. This viral protein, along with V987P above, are BOTH on the Arg S1/S2 cleavage site on the SARS-CoV-2 virus genome. (FURIN CLEAVAGE SITE, anyone?)
The R682G, R683S, and R685S proteins used in Kostaive: please see here: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-32665-7, “Omicron SARS-CoV-2 mutations stabilize spike-up RBD conformation and lead to a non-RBM-binding monoclonal antibody escape”, Zhennan Zhao, et al., 24 August 2022. If appears that these proteins help to create a “one-RBD-up conformation.” Below is a portion of the Abstract of this paper:
In other words, these proteins increase the immune system attack from the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants by making Omicron “stick better” to the ACE2 receptor cells in the human body.
****** Summary: It appears, then, that Kostaive contains one protein from the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus genome (D614G); two proteins from the “ancestral line” of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (K986P and V987P); and three proteins of the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant (R682G, R683S, and R685S.) See below in the post for more information on these items.
One more ingredient of Kostaive, mRNA-2105: This ingredient is derived from the Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis virus (VEEV.) Below is section 4.R.1. of the Deliberations Results document discussing this:
The question that immediately occurs regarding the above: How can Arcturus (the manufacturer of Kostaive) state that mRNA-2105 cannot be “incorporated into host cell DNA”? How is Arcturus absolutely sure that there is zero reverse transcription potential or ability in Kostaive? This is similar to the same statements from Pfizer-BioNTech about BNT162b2 “cannot change the DNA of the vaccinated individual” — which has been proven to be false (please see: here, Slide 14.)
****** Summary of the above: What Yours Truly is getting at here is that Kostaive appears to be the end-product of: ONE: a lab-created mixture of the dangerous D614G element from the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus, plus, various elements of earlier SARS-CoV-2 mutations; TWO: NO long-term clinical trials, NO safety studies for Toxicity, use on pregnant women, etc.; THREE: the “Process 2”-type manufacturing method (“culturing” the lab-enhanced mRNA for the “vaccine” in a “bath” of E. coli); FOUR: using lipid nanoparticles, one of which (ATX-126) has never been used before in an injectable); FIVE: what appears to be a “pro-forma” Deliberation Results document on Kostaive that raises more questions than it answers; and, SIX: approval by the Japanese government for use on humans without a thorough investigation of the above. Related to point SIX: below is the list of Approval Conditions that were imposed along the approval of Kostaive for use in Japan, from the Deliberations Results document:
By the way, these Approval Conditions read very much like the ones that the FDA imposed on Pfizer-BioNTech along with that agency’s EUA for BNT162b2.
Regarding Kostaive itself, more particulars:
The ingredients of Kostaive are listed in section 2.2 Vaccine Product of the report. A screenshot of this section is below:
Kostaive contains at least three separate types of LNPs (lipid nanoparticles): ATX-126; DSPC; and, PEG2000-DMG. Below is a portion of the MSDS Safety Data Sheet for ATX-126:
Section 2.2.3 of the Deliberation Results document for Kostaive discusses the manufacturing process for Kostaive. It appears that Kostaive ALSO “switched” from a “Process A” manufacturing method over to a “Process B” manufacturing method. (Recall that the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 was “switched” from its “Process 1” manufacturing method over to a “Process 2” manufacturing method):
One more item from the Deliberation Results document for Kostaive, again on the ATX-126 lipid nanoparticle used in this “vaccine.” It confirms that this “novel excipient” (adjuvant) has not been used before in a “vaccine.”
Yours Truly will again emphasize that other sections of the DeliberationResults document on Kostaive make it clear that NO studies were performed for numerous items, such as Toxicity, potential for impairment of reproduction, and so on. By the way, buried in the document is a “passing reference mention” that the “Process B” manufacturing method for this “vaccine” uses E. coli as the “culturing medium” for the “enhanced” mRNA in the product. (The “Process 2” manufacturing method for BNT162b2 and its “descendant” COVID-19 “vaccines” also uses E. coli.) It also appears that the use of Kostaive on pregnant women in clinical trials was “inconclusive”; this “vaccine” should be taken by pregnant women only if the situation so warrants.
Also: Kostaive is to be taken as a “primary series” of two separate injections, 28 days apart; with a “booster” taken about three months later. The question that arises is: If it is true that the saRNA in Kostaive is active, including installing numberless “Xerox copiers” of itself in the “vaccinated” person’s body for AT LEAST 28 days AFTER the initial injection, WHY is there a need for ANOTHER injection around Day 28? And a “booster” after that?
******BUT — AND THIS IS A HUGE BUT — TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT SECTION 2.2.1 OF THE DELIBERATION RESULTS DOCUMENT FOR KOSTAIVE:
Look at the “active ingredient” item, “zapomeran.” What is zapomeran? It is a “drug” that contains the RNA of the Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus (VEEV or VEE) in an saRNA form. It is ALSO manufactured by ARCTURUS (CSL.) It is unclear if it is being used in other types of COVID-19 “vaccines” other than Kostaive. Please see: https://synapse.patsnap.com/drug/510bcf7ef75649278b284a94663c69f6. Scroll down the page to R&D Status to see that zapomeran has already been approved in the EU; Norway; Iceland; and Liechtenstein; but in what final form it is used, is also unclear. NOTE 1: It has been impossible to find a complete list of ingredients for zapomeran. One would not be surprised to learn that the names Kostaive and zapomeran may, in some respects, be “interchangeable.” NOTE 2: It is not easy to find information on zapomeran. Yours Truly has encountered “504 Bad Gateway” error messages when going back to recheck a couple of the links to zapomeran in this post.
Looking further into VEEV (or VEE), there is this article: https://ceh.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/health-topics/venezuelan-equine-encephalitis-vee, by Amy Young, 28 August 2020. This virus can affect horses, donkeys, or zebras. VEEV is transmitted to these animals by infected mosquitos that bite them. It can cause severe disease or death by infecting the brain and the central nervous system. Humans who contract VEEV can also become severely ill and can also die from it. Another paper, discussing the RNA of VEEV (VEE),by Sarah E. Hickson and Jennifer L. Hyde, is here.
****** VERY IMPORTANT:The SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins in zapomeran are the same ones that are in Kostaive. These were discussed above in the post. Turning to the nsP proteins (non-structural proteins) in zapomeran (hyperlinks to papers are embedded), as these elements are also apparently contained in Kostaive:
****** SUMMARY:IT APPEARS, THEN, THAT KOSTAIVE CONTAINS ZAPOMERAN, WHICH INCLUDES THE VENEZUELAN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS RNA; PLUS, SIX LAB-ENHANCED/LAB-ISOLATED GENOME CODES OF SARS-CoV-2; AND, FOUR NON-STRUCTURAL PROTEINS, ONE OF WHICH IS A ROTAVIRUS TOXIN. KOSTAIVE ALSO CONTAINS DANGEROUS LIPID NANOPARTICLES (SUCH AS ATX-126.) THESE ARE ALL PRESENT IN THIS saRNA COVID-19 “VACCINE” PRODUCT. RECALL THAT LIPID NANOPARTICLES WILL HELP TO SPREAD A “VACCINE” THROUGHOUT THE ‘VACCINATED” PERSON’S BODY, INCLUDING CROSSING THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER.
Why on Earth is a COVID-19 “vaccine” that contains the RNA of an equine brain inflammation virus (a virus that comes from infected mosquitos that bite equine animals) being used on humans? A “vaccine” that is engineered to create an unknown number of “Xerox copiers” of the “vaccine” elements into the body of the “vaccinated” person? A “vaccine” that contains six apparently lab-enhanced/lab-isolated genome codes from the SARS-CoV-2 virus or its variants? What does an equine brain inflammation virus have in common with SARS-CoV-2? What if a person who has already taken, say, five or six injections of a modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” decides to take Kostaive? Could an saRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” somehow “interact” with the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” elements already in that person’s body?
****** GENERAL SUMMARY: saRNA “vaccines” for COVID-19 are already being used (GEMCOVAC in India); and are being approved for use (Kostaive in Japan.) The technology for saRNA is not fully developed and not fully tested; the COVID-19 “vaccines” that use saRNA contain “lab-enhanced”/”lab-isolated” genome codes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus or its variants; saRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” contain lipid nanoparticles — and, in the case of Kostaive, an LNP (ATX-126) that has never been used before in an injectable; that no studies have been performed on saRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” regarding Toxicity, the effects on reproductive potential, and so on; and, that Kostaive contains the RNA of the Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus. And yet, these products are being hailed as “the vaccines of the future.” And, the people taking them are again being used as “human lab rats.”
