I’m so tired of hearing “Our grandparents could buy a house on one salary, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!” Yeah, because Grandma wasn’t blowin’ half her paycheck on $12 iced coffee and avocado toast, that’s why! Back then, if they wanted coffee, they made it at home. With grounds so strong it could remove rust. You didn’t drink it… you survived it. And Grandma wasn’t out there “brunchin’.” You think she had time for brunch? No! She was at home, cooking something called whatever’s left in the house. And don’t even bring up Uber Eats. These people today are crying about money while living in a 4-bedroom house with two SUVs, six streaming services, and matching sleeve tattoos. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? Yeah it said “Korea, 1951.” And it came with nightmares, not realitic shading. Oh, don’t even get me started on the kids. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t! You’re giving an $1100 phone to a kid who still eats glue and boogers. When we were kids, the family phone hung on the wall. It had a cord long enough to jump rope with, and if you wanted privacy, you had to go stand in the pantry. And somehow, we survived. And the TV? There was one. One. It was in the living room, and Dad controlled it. If he wanted to watch bowling, guess what? You liked bowling. Now every room’s got a 65-inch screen, the baby’s got an iPad, and you’re sitting there wondering why you can’t afford rent. Because you’re living like rappers, that’s why! Grandpa wasn’t out here leasing Teslas and buying $12 smoothies called “Detox Sunrise.” He was driving a truck that sounded like thunder and smelled like oil and cigarettes. They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa’s paycheck bought, that’s what they had. They didn’t try to keep up with the Joneses. They were just trying to keep the fed and a roof over their heads. So yeah, Grandpa could buy a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have 47 subscriptions and emotional-support crystals. He had one support system, Grandma, who told him to suck it up and mow the yard. Now folks are broke, tired, and stressed… and it’s not because of inflation… it’s because y’all keep ordering tacos from DoorDash like you’re royalty. Wake up and smell the truth! https://nitter.poast.org/REMASCULATE/status/1982577768375128516
All of this is true. And the resistance to that truth is unbelievably strong.
The current younger generations were mostly raised by people who didn’t teach them that, in order to have the things their parents had attained, they would have to suffer through lean times and struggle, FIRST.
These kids thought they would graduate high school or go to college, and then immediately make the same type of money their parents made after 25 years in the work force. The kids thought they would live in a four-bedroom, three-bath house when they left their parent’s home, not the run-down apartment in the sketchy part of town their parents started out in.
Posts like the above get a bunch of meaningless statistics thrown at them, but no reality. That reality is, Starbucks really should be a treat, dinner should be at home every night with the occasional dinner out as a treat, your first car should cost $5000 max (cash for clunkers eliminated the $1000 beater), professional nails and $100 hairstyles should be for your wedding but no other time. You get a new $100 flip phone every 3-5 years, and have a subscription to Amazon Prime for free shipping and entertainment. You scrape and save and ten years after you get your first job, you put a down payment on a starter home, 1200 square feet, 3 bedrooms and a bath-and-a-half. It needs a little work; but you’re willing to spend your weekends on fixing it up, so you can barbeque in a backyard you own.
I’m 60 years old, and the above is basically my story, and that of most other people I know. I consider myself Gen X; I was born right at the very beginning of it.
Gen X people were made so self-sufficient and tough by circumstances (we are the latch-key generation; nobody took care of us) that it didn’t occur to us that we’d have to explain how to grow up and be tough to our kids. We assumed they would get it like we did. They didn’t. It’s our fault, but we really didn’t know. The school system and society took them and turned them into socialist cream puffs.
And Scott brought these to the discussion.
Trump’s HIDDEN Asia Strategy: Reversing 40 Years of American Decline
Barbara Boyd explains how Donald Trump’s recent three-day trip to Asia could reverse 40 years of outsourcing and cultural decay. She highlights ignored or misrepresented coverage by mainstream media, focusing on the significant trade and defense agreements Trump has made with countries like Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. These agreements aim to rebuild America’s productive base through advanced manufacturing, critical minerals processing, modern nuclear energy, and streamlined defense strategies. Boyd also discusses a renewed Monroe Doctrine and Trump’s approach to ending international conflicts, emphasizing a strategic shift towards fortifying the Western hemisphere and fostering economic revival.
Trump Ended 100 Years of British Control, Will 2026 Undo It All?
In this episode, Susan Kokinda discusses Mark Carney’s admission that the globalist world order has ended, highlighting Donald Trump’s significant breakthroughs in Asia that sidestepped the British Imperial system. Kokinda emphasizes that Trump’s greatest challenge lies not abroad but within the U.S., where many Republicans fail to grasp or oppose his economic nationalism. She details the key deals Trump made in Asia, his strategy against the global elite, and the necessity for a new Republican coalition that supports his vision. Kokinda calls for support and education through Promethean Action to build this coalition and secure Trump’s accomplishments against domestic and international resistance.
Another Promethean Action video, their Thursday Question & Answer had an interesting tidbit at 1hr 20 mins.
Rough Transcript of one question and answer:
[QUESTION from Scott:]
The next question is going to be just trying to get a more general [and] a clearer understanding of what we mean by the institutional network of British imperial control. I think this is a historical issue that you’re going to have to spend the time to really see and [to] develop the historical thread. But I want to take this question because I think this resonates in the minds of all of our supporters. My request, if you please, is for a more detailed explanation and definition of the institutional network of British imperial control.
I think the first thing you really have to get in your head is this is not some new thing. This is a historical thread that has been developing for at minimum hundreds of years. Okay.
Explanation [or] definition of the institutional network of British imperial control so often referenced in your commentary. It seems essential that we understand precisely who and what constitutes this control as such knowledge could empower us to challenge these networks through public awareness, outcry or even targeted boycots. Ultimately, there are human faces behind these institutions. So, I say, let the unmasking begin.
Thank you, Scott, for your thoughtful insight and for your question.
So, Barbara and Bruce, your thoughts on the institutional networks of British control. I think we already give a lot and we already unmask a lot, but Bruce and Barbara, your thoughts.
Barbara Boyd: Well, there are two elements here and I’ll emphasize one which is not really thought about or talked about by other people which is when the Round Table formed itself and what they basically said is that we’re the third iteration of the British Empire. They formed themselves around British universities namely Cambridge and Oxford and the University of London, the London School of Economics [Founded by the Fabians with funding from Lord Rothschild.] Their idea was what they call soft power.What kind of way of teaching people how to think do we propose to do? And theirentire philosophical premise has been that human beings are no better than animals. That basically we are not in any way associated with the creative force of God or obligated while on this earth to forward God’s creation.
It’s two completely different worldviews of what human beings are. And they set out to corrupt every educational feature of the United States to make that the reigning philosophical view of what men and women are. That’s point one. Soft power institutions through the universities.
And I and most people at that, because they tend to think that all the secret gatherings of things like the Bilderberg Society or the Trilateral Commission or you know the Mount Peleran Society are where it’s at. Those consensus institutions are important but this whole idea of how do you think is what they call cognitive warfare.
The second aspect of it is of course central banking, you know and that includes the Federal Reserve, that includes most of Wall Street and that includes the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada and the institutions which are associated with that like BIS and the International Monetary Fund. So that’s how I’d start. But the real challenge here is to think about what do these people who we can identify in these networks, how do they think of human beings and what type of ideology are they trying to sell? And you know very, very critical stuff comes out of the Mount Pellerin Society for example which really featured libertarianism coming into the United States as a targeted strategy against the American system. There are other things which I could say but I’ll let Bruce follow up.
Bruce Director: I think Barbara, you hit the right point. And I think the only way to really grasp this is to look at it historically. And this requires a lot of thinking. I referenced it earlier in terms of the history of the United States from 1763 on basically as a spear point of mankind’s fight to free itself once and for all from the imperial system. The British Empire is not the first empire in the world. The British Empire draws its lineage continuously all the way back through the Venetian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Babylonian Empire, Persian Empire, and so on and so forth. It’s a structure of sin as Pope John Paul II would have called it. And man has struggled against this for thousands of years. The United States became the first constitutional republic, a first nation state that was organized around a different idea. Not that that idea was new, but that the constitution of a nation committed to that was new and we’ve survived because we’ve maintained that fight against the British Empire. So to put the names and places on these things you really have to do it from the standpoint of history and I refer people to the books that Bob Ingram has written and Graham Lowry. Will Worse has a book out which are all available on the connections I guess through the Prometheian action website. So, you actually learn about American history. And I hope that as we enter the 2026, which is the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of the Declaration of Independence, that this subject of real American history be studied and understood by a broad swath of our citizenry. I’m quite happy that President Trump has decided to make this a real focus and we at Prometheian Action are going to do our part to bring out this element of our history which used to be well known but in the post World War II period has been obscured basically by the institutions that Barbara talked about.
……
None of what has happened during the last century and more has been by chance and I would like to enlarge on the information from Barbara and Bruce. This is from my old notes.🤓
…When and where did all this culture manipulation start?
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, psychology as a medical field really took off. While the original intent of it may or may not have been to heal people’s minds, it quickly became apparent that psychological techniques could also be used to manipulate and control people…
As the story goes, the Tavistock Clinic was formed in 1920 in London, England to research and treat victims of shell shock that occurred during the first World War….
Through the research and treatment of trauma based mental disorders, psychiatrists discovered that trauma could be used to control people’s minds. Trauma could be used on micro and macro levels.
On a micro level, people could be brought into a clinical setting and exposed to trauma, drugs (LSD) and other psychological techniques, creating a mind-controlled person. The Tavistock program led to the CIA’s MK Ultra program...
On a macro level, it was discovered trauma could be used effectively on the masses as well, constantly pushing fear on the general public through the media, with periodic traumatic events leading to a population that is mind controlled through fear...
GEE, that sounds like the Covid Plannedemic to me!
Late 1800s ??? Enter John D Rockefeller and his buddies.
John Dewey [who was a Fabian – GC] got his education in the new psychology under G. Stanley Hall at John Hopkins University. In 1887, at the tender age of 28, Dewey felt that he knew enough about psychology to be able to write a textbook on the subject, entitled fittingly Psychology.
In 1894, Dewey was appointed head of the department of philosophy, psychology and education at the University of Chicago which had been established two years earlier by a gift from John D. Rockefeller.In 1896, Dewey created his famous experimental Laboratory School where he could test the effects of the new psychology on real live children.
Dewey’s philosophy had evolved from Hegelian idealism to socialist materialism, and the purpose of the school was to show how education could be changed to produce little socialists and collectivists instead of little capitalists and individualists. It was expected that these little socialists, when they became voting adults, would dutifully change the American economic system into a socialist one.
In order to do so he analyzed the traditional curriculum that sustained the capitalist, individualistic system and found whathe believed was the sustaining linchpin — that is, the key element that held the entire system together: high literacy. To Dewey, the greatest obstacle to socialism was the private mind that seeks knowledge in order to exercise its own private judgment and intellectual authority.High literacy gave the individual the means to seek knowledge independently. It gave individuals the means to stand on their own two feet and think for themselves. This was detrimental to the “social spirit” needed to bring about a collectivist society….
An 1845 resolution to the New York Medical Association by Dr. Nathan S. Davis, calling for a national medical convention, led to the establishment of the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1847.
The Effective Strategy That Eliminated Natural Medicine
Naturopathic-based herbal medicine was the norm, and Rockefeller set out to shift the medical industry toward using oil-derived pharmaceuticals. To this end, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was established in 1901…
“The fortunes of Carnegie, Morgan and Rockefeller financed surgery, radiation and synthetic drugs. They were to become the economic foundations of the new medical economy… The oiligarchy birthed entire medical industries from their own research centers and then sold their own products from their own petrochemical companies as the ‘cure.’”
John D. Rockefeller wanted to gain control of education, including the medical education systems. He did that with the help of Fred Gates. Fred Gates was a Baptist pastor, who left that post to become secretary of the American Baptist Education Society. Rockefeller was a devout Baptist himself, so the two were destined to meet. Rockefeller donated $600,000 to the Baptist-based Chicago University, under the suggestion of Fred Gates. (Now known as the University of Chicago Medical Center.)
In 1901 the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was founded. One of the names on the board of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was Simon Flexner. It was Simon Flexner’s brother, Abraham Flexnor, who had one of the biggest hands in medical education reform. (Interestingly, Abraham Flexner was born in Kentucky, one of the largest growers and suppliers of hemp during WWII.)
Abraham Flexner was on the staff of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
“As mentioned previously, the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations traditionally worked together almost as one in the furtherance of their mutual goals, and this certainly was no exception. The Flexner brothers represented the lens that brought both the Rockefeller and the Carnegie fortunes into sharp focus on the unsuspecting and thoroughly vulnerable medical profession.” (He Who Pays The Piper – Creation of the Modern Medical (drug) Establishment; G. Edward Griffin)….
Rockefeller was not content with controlling the minds of kids in school. He then went after Child Rearing practices.
Past research into the mental hygiene movement in Canada and the United States has tended to view it in isolation from co-temporary projects funded by Rockefeller philanthropy, such as mass communications research. The mental hygiene campaign aimed to modify adult-child relations by reducing the influence parents and teachers held over children’s personality development; the central aim of mass communications research was the development of conformity of opinion. One a project of social engineering, the other of social control, the two projects combined appear to have possessed considerable potential to work in concert to shift weight in the socializing matrix from families and schools to the media at the outset of the post-World War II baby boom….
In this article, I argue that Rockefeller philanthropy fundamentally controlled psychological discourse concerning child-rearing and pedagogical practices in post-World War II Canada and the United States. The philanthropy’s officers were, in essence, funding support for a particular psychological approach to matters concerning children so extensively and effectively that they in effect shaped the consensus for the “modern” child-rearing philosophy typified by Blatz and Laycock in Canada and Arnold Gesell and Benjamin Spock in the United States. Philanthropic funding supported the proponents of “mental hygiene,” providing them with institutional bases to legitimate their ideals of child rearing, and forums to present these, while marginalizing alternate ideals and alternate research into parenting and pedagogical practices by lack of funding. As a result, literature of the post-World War II period gives the appearance of almost universal expert support for “modern” child-rearing methods when, in truth, it reflects almost universal authority over child-rearing expertise by Rockefeller philanthropy….
And then the Rockefellers went after mothers. Feminism was a creation of the Rockefellers.
….People do not realize that feminism is mass indoctrination because they cannot identify the perpetrator, the means or the motive. Recently Aaron Russo, the producer of Bette Middler’s movies and “America: From Freedom to Fascism” identified all three confirming what I have been saying. (See this shocking 14 minute interview excerpt) While trying to recruit Russo for the CFR, Nicholas Rockefeller told him that his family foundation created women’s liberation using mass media control as part of a long-term plan to enslave humanity. He admitted they want to “chip us.” Google “Rockefeller Foundation” and “Women’s Studies” and you’ll get a half million citations. The hidden goal of feminism is to destroy the family, which interferes with state brainwashing of the young. Side benefits include depopulation and widening the tax base. Displacing men in the role of providers also destabilizes the family. A drastic paradigm shift is required to make sense of the world. The Rockefellers are part of the private central banking cartel that also controls media, defence, pharmaceutical and other cartels. To protect their monopoly of credit and wealth, they are instituting a world police state (“world government”) using the bogus 9-11 attack and endless war as a pretext. Rockefeller told Russo about this plan a year before 9-11…..
…Probably you are not aware that most major women organizations in America were funded by Rockefeller Foundation who claims in their website, “By funding a strategic mix of organizations, institutions, and projects; the Foundation is fostering smart globalization.” Most feminist “Women Studies” funding comes from big foundations like Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, Carnegie Foundation etc and of course USAID, UNIFEM and UN….
Behind the façade of “women’s rights”, Feminism teaches that heterosexual roles (wife, mother etc) are socially constructed by MEN and oppressive to WOMEN. This underscores the fact that feminism was created to destabilize the society and undermine the institution of family. Aaron Russo says, the two key reasons given by Nicholas Rockefeller were
Before women’s lib we couldn’t tax half of the population
Can indoctrinate kids in school at early ages. When there is no male figure in the family, kids start seeing the State as their family who provide and protect.
American feminist icon Gloria Steinem, (an ex CIA agent) proudly claims in one of her own books that CIA funded Ms Magazine with the stated goal of breaking up the families and taxing women. (Divide and conquer policy)
Nearly one in three American children is living with a parent who is divorced, separated or never-married. A study by the Pew Research Center highlights rapidly changing notions of the American family where 4 in 10 say marriage is becoming obsolete in US.
Years after the so called ‘feminist movement’, now America is facing the consequences. President Mr. Barack Obama on father’s day is calling for stable families….
AND THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT SYSTEM WERE ALSO DESTROYED.
…This transformation was the result of organized plans developed by a group of highly powerful “though unelected” financial and industrial executives who wanted to drastically change agricultural practices in the US to better serve their collective corporate financial agenda. This group, called the Committee for Economic Development, wasofficially established in 1942as a sister organization to the Council on Foreign Relations….
Their plan was so effective and so faithfully executed by its operatives in the US government thatby 1974 the CED couldn’t help but congratulate itself in another agricultural report called“A New US Farm Policy for Changing World Food Needs”for the efficiency of the tactics they employed to drive farmers from their land.
The human cost of CED’s plans were exacting and enormous.CED’s plans resulted in widespread social upheaval throughout rural America, ripping apart the fabric of its society destroying its local economies. They also resulted in a massive migration to larger cities….
US churches as a political force for the people was attacked.
Most churches in America have organized as “501c3 tax-exempt religious organizations.” This is a fairly recent trend that has only been going on for about fifty years. Churches were only added to section 501c3 of the tax code in 1954. We can thank Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson for that. Johnson was no ally of the church. As part of his political agenda, Johnson had it in mind to silence the church and eliminate the significant influence the church had always had on shaping “public policy.”
Although Johnson proffered this as a “favor” to churches, the favor also came with strings attached (more like shackles). One need not look far to see the devastating effects 501c3 acceptance has had to the church, and the consequent restrictions placed upon any 501c3 church. 501c3 churches are prohibited from addressing, in any tangible way, the vital issues of the day.
For a 501c3 church to openly speak out, or organize in opposition to, anything that the government declares “legal,” even if it is immoral (e.g. abortion, homosexuality, etc.), that church will jeopardize its tax exempt status. The 501c3 has had a “chilling effect” upon the free speech rights of the church. LBJ was a shrewd and cunning politician who seemed to well-appreciate how easily many of the clergy would sell out….
It was all about gaining control and indoctrinating America’s children. America’s future.
Once mothers were removed from the home and the caring for their children, the next step was to gain control of the daycares. That was what all the trumped up charges against daycares was all about. Problem — Reaction – Solution — Got to create the problem to get people to hand over more control of their lives. In this case control of their children.
The trumped up charges against Daycares. Ironic that REAL abuse was occurring elsewhere by the Cabal and was completely covered up.
But it was in the United States that the majority of the sex abuse hysteria cases occurred, and many innocent people remain in prison there.
In a case that was virtually forgotten when the first edition of “Victims of Memory” was published, three innocent people Gerald “Tooky” Amirault, now 41, his sister Cheryl LaFave, 37, and his mother, Violet Amirault, 71 were found guilty of horrendous sexual abuse and sentenced to prison in Massachusetts. Because I have become particularly well-acquainted with this situation, and another that relates to it, I hope I can help raise public awareness of these cases… The clear presumption was that the day-care providers were guilty, that these children had been so terrorized and abused that the leading questions were justified, and that to subject them to normal courtroom procedures would be to “retraumatize” them. It did not seem to occur to anyone that the children were being psychologically traumatized by the Department of Social Services, the police, and the court, and that they might sustain life-long psychic scars as a result.
Logic, in fact, had little to do with the trial. Children said that they had told their teachers they were going to a magic room, even though no teacher had heard of such a room. They told stories of attacks by a robot, being forced to eat a frog Miss Vi had killed, and being molested by clowns and lobsters. One boy told how he had been tied naked to a tree in the school yard in front of all the teachers and children. Though the teachers denied the incident, and no other child verified it, Amirault was found guilty of other offenses this child recounted —
how Tooky had raped him with a thick pointed stick which looked like a gun, for instance. [FOOTNOTE: During Tooky’s trial, the boy asserted that he had been hung upside down from the tree and forced to eat white pills; at Vi and Cheryl’s trial, however, he claimed to be right-side up and did not recall eating pills.] Even the accused man’s nickname, which derived from the sound his mother made when she chucked him under the chin as an infant, came to sound sinister and revolting in Hardoon’s mouth. “Yes, and what else did Tooky do to you?”
After a 13-day deliberation, the jury returned a guilty verdict. The following year, in a separate trial, his mother and sister were also convicted. For more than seven years, they have all languished in jail, losing subsequent appeals and repeatedly being denied parole….
The following article is very good and goes into implanting false memories in the children.
“In the Little Rascals day-care-abuse case in North Carolina, one mother told reporters that it took 10 months before her child was able to “reveal” the molestation. No one at the time considered the idea that the child might have been remarkably courageous to persist in telling the truth for so long.” Carol Tavris 1
Summary:
In excess of 90 children accused a total of 20 adults with 429 instances of child sexual abuse in a day care center in Edenton NC. Among the alleged perpetrators were the sheriff and mayor. Allegations included a baby killed with a hand gun, a child being hung upside down from a tree and being set on fire. Nobody in town noticed a baby missing. Needless to say, charges were never laid against the mayor or sheriff.
Robin Byrum, Darlene Harris, Elizabeth “Betsy” Kelly, Robert “Bob” Kelly, Scott Willard Privott, Shelly Stone, and Dawn Wilson were charged with engaging in various sexual activities with children in the Kellys’ day care in 1989. Bob Kelly and Dawn Wilson were found guilty of multiple charges of child sex abuse and given long sentences. Betsy Kelly and Willard Privott pleaded “no contest” and were released. The charges against the other three were dropped. Convictions were overturned on appeal and new trials ordered. The cases were finally settled in 1999 when all charges were dropped against Kelley.
The Cases:
These charges relate to the Little Rascal’s Day Care in Edenton. It is perhaps the second most famous day care ritual abuse case in North America (after the McMartin Preschool in CA.) The PBS program Frontline has produced a series of three powerful documentary episodes on this case, called Innocence Lost. 2 It showed that the various ingredients of a typical MVMO abuse case were present in Edenton:
no physical evidence that any actual abuse or killing happened.
hysteria by the parents, investigators and general public.
lack of evidence which would have been present if the children had actually been abused.
the alleged abuse happened even as parents were coming to and fro during the day; nobody noticed anything strange at the day care center.
the children initially denied that anything “funny” happened at the day care; but the interviewers did not believe the children.
after months of extensive interviewing, using what are now known to be manipulative, suggestive techniques, children started to disclose abuse events. This was assisted by communications among parents who also grilled their children
all of the documentation and tapes of the children’s initial interviews were lost or destroyed.
testimony described a long string of physically impossible or highly improbable events
nobody seems to have asked the logical question: how could 7 to 20 adults form a conspiracy and abuse children hundreds of times, without any child complaining or without any parent noticing something amiss?
Some of the children’s disclosures included:
being taken to the back room of a store and sexually abused. There is a very wide opening between the back room and the rest of the store, so that any sexual abuse would have been perpetrated in the full view of customers.
being taken on board a space ship and flown into outer space where they were abused.
seeing a large fish tank where sharks were trained.
being taken on board a ship into the ocean and abused while trained sharks swam around the boat.
During the winter of 1988-1989, Edenton police attended a Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) seminar. The first allegation of abuse followed shortly afterwards. One theory is that the first mention of abuse followed the accidental hitting of a child at the day care; another story has the first allegation following intensive questioning of a child by his mother under the guidance of a SRA course attendee.
As in other MVMO cases, the children initially denied abuse at the school. However, after repeated interrogations, they started to reveal sexual and then ritual abuse. Children were criticized or rewarded in accordance with the abuse content of their stories……
“… When it comes to public provisions for children and families, the United States compares poorly with other advanced industrial nations such as France, Sweden, and Denmark.…”
True danger lies in the notion that the state should decide if you are parenting your kids correctly.
…Scotland wants to treat all families as potentially abusive and appoint a “named person” (that is, a guardian) as soon as the child is born and up through age 18 to oversee the parenting. This “shadow parent” would be empowered by the government under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act, which will take effect in 2016.
It is based on the idea that a person who has been named by the state, touched on the shoulder, has a superior authority and insight to others. Those who have been ‘named’ are seen as better qualified to ‘safeguard’ the wellbeing of a whole nation’s children. Therefore, concern for children’s wellbeing becomes a state-appointed position.
…This is a new kind of parenting-by-surveillance…
And finally some comments from our Dear D-Pat. I do miss her so!
There’s more to it, to be honest. One of the questions a lot of new moms get from pediatricians is “does your child have his or her own room” or what are the sleeping arrangements. Frankly, that’s none of their business, but they are instructed to push separate sleeping quarters. One woman I know got trounced by her pediatrician for admitting that they did a family bed at the time. (her kids are older now, so I doubt that’s the case any more.) The push for that, as well as daycare, etc., is to play with the emotional development of children. Cultures that live in one common space don’t usually have issues with emotionally unstable kids.
As a supplement to your post, Henry Makow presented some of the tactics used according to one of the people controlling one of the media vehicles. He also talks about Aaron Russo’s interview with a much younger and more civilized Alex Jones where he talks about his friendship with one of the Rockefellers and their plans for all humans.
Myrna Blyth was the editor in chief of “Ladies Home Journal” from 1981 to 2002. In her book /”Spin Sisters”/ (2004) she says the media sold women “a career in exactly the same drum banging way that the Happy Homemaker had been sold to their mothers.” (38)
The Illuminati undermined women’s natural loving instincts using the following mantras:
1. *Men can no longer be trusted.* Using the “Lifetime Network” as an example, Blyth concluded “all men are 1) unfaithful rats 2) abusive monsters 3) dishonest scumbags, or 4) all of the above. Women on the other hand were…ubervictims [or] flinty achievers who triumph despite the cavemen who…want to keep them in their place.” (62-63)
2. *Women are victims by virtue of their sex.* Blyth says the media sends “one message loud and clear. Because we are women, we remain victims in our private lives, at work, in society as a whole.” (156) Thus women must have a sense of grievance, entitlement and rebellion. The same tactic was used to manipulate Jews, Blacks, workers and gays. (See my “Victim as Moral Zombie”)
3. *Women should be selfish.* “Liberation and narcissism have merged,” Blyth says. Leisure now means, “time for yourself, spent alone, or perhaps with one’s girlfriends but definitely without spouse and kids…Endless articles preached the new feminist gospel, that indulging yourself is an important part of being a healthy, well adjusted woman.” (65)
4. *Sex is not reserved for love and marriage.* Magazines like Glamour and Cosmopolitan urge young women to “put out on their first date,” ogle men openly” and be an athlete in bed. There is no discussion of marriage or family. (160) Such women will not be able to trust any man enough to surrender themselves.
5. *Self-fulfillment lies in career success and not husband and family.* “The social rewards of holding down a job are critical to one’s sense of dignity and self worth,” Betty Friedan pontificated. In fact, “most work is deeply ordinary,” Blyth observes (35-36). (I’m not saying women can’t have jobs, only they shouldn’t be tricked out of having families if they want them.)
Thus many women are schizophrenic as they attempt to reconcile their natural instincts with a constant exhortation to do the opposite. The wreckage — broken families and dysfunctional people — is strewn everywhere.
At the same time, Playboy Magazine etc. aimed a similar message at men. You don’t need to get married to have sex. Marriage and children are a bore.
Today we see the results of a century plus campaign WAR against the USA. It is amazing we even have any well adjusted children!
We have all seen enough now to better understand if we choose to understand.
IT. IS. TIME. FOR. THIS. DISCUSSION.
Once again, for emphasis this time in a dedicated post. TRUST TRUMP as KK says frequently. You and the lives of loved ones depends upon it. What initiated this post is below. It is a link to a Clandestine post that KK brought to the daily this past Sunday.
He is echoing what I have brought several times on here. My stories about Rules, Practices & Procedures, Parts 1-3, provide examples of the game playing that aligned in opposition to the wills of We the People. The current GOP uniparty players self identify when they insist on remaining members of Club Senate.
Folks – as those know who read stories in BIMD and since with America Stories: I lobbied off and on for years at high levels of federal government on behalf of the industry in which I worked. Many Congressional members and their staffers then and now are not good people. Some lived in their own versions of personal soap operas that left them open to blackmail and extortion. Others never hid it – they were brazen and did not care.
This has been going on for over 250 years. It is human nature when people are lacking or devoid of God in their lives, the One that Carl describes in his posts. Throughout American history when one actually does the research you see the same BS antics.
Many people give lip service to God when He is beneficial to them. However, it does not translate into living the life as one who fears (loves, honors respects and is also scared of) God Himself. For example, those type people are involved as deep state and unipartyists today. However, those type also devised the filibuster in 1806 as a circumvention of the will of the people, even though some legitimately thought the will of the people was too independent and rogue for them back in their day over 250 years ago. This is not conjecture, they said so in correspondence and documents. We can read their words today.
These founding fathers faced all sorts of riots, criminal activities, insurrections pre and post Revolutionary War that – OH, WAIT – that is also happening TODAY!
The practical matter is they used it as an excuse to do what they did. The truth is after 30 years of governance they were tired of listening to windbags hold the floor for hours and days of time. Again, they said so in written documents. They were the obvious ones that circumvented the business of the people. When you read deeper into American history you see it expressed by founding fathers and those in governance that followed them time and time again. Human nature was allowed to get in the way of the will of We the People so that the minority could circumvent the will of the people to acheive their own goals and aspirations as well as those of foreign powers.
If the goal was to reduce the control of the individual floor time in governance, all they had to do was invoke a rule like the ancient Roman Senate that the talking stops at sundown and everybody goes home. Or, do one such that a Senator does not get to control the floor on any singular issue after XX period of time. Or, that on a bill scheduled vote must be conducted in XX period of time.
But that would be too easy and too common sense. Too many people could see what they really wanted and would get pissed at them if common sense solutions were in place. They could lose their phony baloney jobs.
History
Many are surprised to be informed that some of those founding fathers they revere such as George Washington, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, John Hancock, John Jay, etc.; actually (validly) feared insurrection and return to British rule. This led to the following being inserted into the Constitution. From Wiki (but accurate);
Only five supermajority requirements were explicitly included in the original United States Constitution, including conviction on impeachment (two-thirds of senators present),[6] agreeing to a resolution of advice and consent to ratification of a treaty (two-thirds of senators present),[7] expelling a member of Congress (two-thirds of members voting in the house in question),[8] overriding presidential vetoes (two-thirds of members voting of both houses),[9] and proposing constitutional amendments (two-thirds of members voting of both houses).[10] Through negative textual implication, the Constitution also gives a simple majority the power to set procedural rules.[2]: 1217
Did you read that last sentence? That is what the current filibuster discussion is all about – a simple majority (that the GOP now has and the Dems previously had) with the power to set PROCEDURAL rules. The filibuster was then added through that process in 1806 along with other rules through the years.
In Alexander Hamilton’s view per Federalist #22 as it applied to the previous Articles of Confederation, he saw rules such as the filibuster that were in use later as a negative. Yet, he went on to champion the Constitution that included the clause that eventually negated his argument on the subject against the Articles of Confederation. This is also given as a reference in the same Wiki article on Filibusters.
“To give a minority a negative upon the majority (which is always the case where more than a majority is requisite to a decision), is, in its tendency, to subject the sense of the greater number to that of the lesser. […] The necessity of unanimity in public bodies, or something approaching it, has been founded upon a supposition that it would contribute to security. But its real operation is to embarrass the administration, destroy the government’s energy, and substitute the pleasure, caprice, or artifices of an insignificant, turbulent, or corrupt junto, to the regular deliberations and decisions of a respectable majority. In those emergencies of a nation, in which the goodness or badness, the weakness or strength of its government, is of the greatest importance, there is commonly a necessity for action. The public business must, in some way or other, go forward. If a pertinacious minority can control the opinion of a majority, respecting the best mode of conducting it, the majority, so that something may be done, must conform to the views of the minority; thus the sense of the smaller number will overrule that of the greater, and give a tone to the national proceedings—hence, tedious delays; continual negotiation and intrigue; contemptible compromises of the public good. And yet, in such a system, it is even happy when such compromises can take place: for upon some occasions things will not admit of accommodation; then the measures of government must be injuriously suspended, or fatally defeated. It is often, by the impracticability of obtaining the concurrence of the necessary number of votes, kept in a state of inaction. Its situation must always savor of weakness, sometimes border upon anarchy.”
What we see and experience is designed the way it is for a purpose. At some point we need to realize it has been our nature as a country to be the way we are in the operation of the federal government. If we do, we realize that it will not change unless We the People change what is causing it. We the People are not like our ruling class that we supposedly elect, but now know are largely appointed. The truth is our founding fathers and their successors added this particular clause to the Constitution that led to the circumvention of the will of We the People and in so doing undermined the intent and statements made in the approved Declaration of Independence that they fought a brutal war over. They thought better of their own judgment than the majority of We the People. That also explains their desire for deference to be paid elected officials over the common man. Again, they stated such in documents. The truth is the common man was not held in high regard by many of them. Except when they fought or worked for them.
Today
The rules, practices and procedures that work in opposition to the will of We the People are totalitarian responses by devious people who are benefitting at our expense. They have been upheld by BAD PEOPLE throughout our nation’s government, judiciary and globalist involveents around the world. Yet, per the Declaration the only thing that matters in America is the will of We the People.
All of the negative effects from the circumvention and criminal activities does not mean there should be rules, practices and procedures approved and used to counter them. Those are also circumventions that become two edged swords. The proper and legally correct answer has always been for supposedly elected representatives and their support staffs of the federal government to do the will of We the People.
The only way current day patriots can do that is if we stopping living in fear. Stop going along to get along. Stop with the what ifs that paralyze positive actions from being taken.
That is what PDT, his Cabinet and the white hats are trying to do. PDT clearly believes as do I that the filibuster should be terminated. He has been saying it for a decade. It and many other rules, practices and procedures are being used as weapons against potentially major positive changes in governing that could eliminate stolen elections, forever wars, economic blackmail from excessive debt, weaponization of government, an oppressive judiciary, citizen disunity, undue foreign influence, cultural perversions and so on. We do not have to concede anything to criminal Democrats. They do not ever have to return to power. Their criminal enterprise can go down into the ash heap of history just like the Federalists and Whigs. Remember that the Federalists, the party of Washington and Adams, controlled our federal government in the early years. By the end of the War of 1812 it had completely died.
However, that cannot happen if We the People agree to support the status quo.
The future of God’s people and nations dedicated to Him will always come down to personal and collective decisions to choose this (and every) day whom you will serve.
Which is why my life verse for over 30 years continues to be Joshua 24:15.
“But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
We need a nation of Joshuas for what and who we face today that would destroy our nation. So what current American leader embodies the Joshua spirit in word and deed?

Things We Don’t Understand
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9
The Mystery of God’s Plan As we walk through life, we often find ourselves confronted with situations that leave us scratching our heads. We might not understand why certain events occur or how God’s plans are unfolding in our lives. Yet, when we reflect on God’s mysterious ways, we realize that He sees the bigger picture that we cannot. His infinite wisdom surpasses our limited perspectives. We should embrace our lack of understanding as an opportunity to lean on His divine guidance and trust that He is working for our good, even when things do not make sense to us.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. – Isaiah 55:8
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5-6
“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!” – Romans 11:33
“He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.” – Job 5:9
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” – Ecclesiastes 3:11
Finding Peace in the Unknown Facing the unknown can be unsettling, yet we are encouraged to find tranquility in our faith. God assures us through Scripture that even when we don’t grasp the reasons behind our circumstances, He is sovereign and in control. We can take comfort in knowing that we are not alone in our lack of understanding. Through prayer and seeking His presence, we can find peace amidst life’s uncertainties. Let us cultivate trust in His perfect plans, knowing that His timing is always right and He cares for us deeply.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” – Psalm 46:10
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” – Isaiah 26:3
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” – John 14:27
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” – 2 Timothy 1:7
Understanding Through Faith When we encounter things we don’t understand, our faith plays a key role in bridging that gap. Trusting God doesn’t mean we will always have the answers, but it means we believe He is working in ways that may be hidden from us for now. Our faith allows us to embrace the uncertainties while remaining confident in God’s promises. These times can deepen our relationship with Him as we learn to rely on His strength and guidance. Together, we can grow in faith, reminding one another that God is with us through every twist and turn.
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” – Hebrews 11:1
“For we live by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” – James 1:5
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” – Matthew 7:7
The Role of Doubt in Understanding Doubt can feel like a heavy burden. Yet, through our struggles, we can experience growth and even clarity. It’s okay to wrestle with our faith and question things we find challenging to comprehend. Many examples in the Bible showcase this very human experience. It is through these moments of questioning that God often reveals more of Himself to us. We are able to transform our doubts into deeper understanding, encouraging each other in faith as we navigate our uncertainties together.
“Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, ‘I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!’” – Mark 9:24
“When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.” – Matthew 28:17
“He sent two of his disciples to ask him, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’” – Luke 7:19
“Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.’” – John 20:27
“But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” – James 1:6
The Promise of Understanding Through God’s Word, we find not just comfort but also the promise that understanding will come in due time. As we seek Him with our questions, we open ourselves to His wisdom and revelation. We can be assured that even if we don’t have answers immediately, God has a plan to reveal them to us at the right time. Holding onto this promise helps us embrace our journey with patience and expectation, knowing that we are never left without hope. Together, we can support each other in our quest for understanding.
“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” – Proverbs 2:6
“For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.” – Colossians 1:9-10
“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.” – Ephesians 1:17
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” – Psalms 119:105
“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.” – Proverbs 3:13
Hope in Our Uncertainty Even in our moments of confusion, we can hold tightly to hope. God remains our anchor, and through Him, we find purpose beyond what we currently comprehend. It is during challenging times that we cultivate resilience and strength. Our hope lies in the assurance that God is always present, even when we cannot see His hand at work. We can lend one another support, reminding ourselves that God uses our trials to shape us into who we are meant to be and to bring about His glory.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28
“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” – Psalms 31:24
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.” – Isaiah 40:31
“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.” – Lamentations 3:25
Final Thoughts As we reflect upon the topics of understanding and the mysteries of life, we find comfort in the Word of God. We may face situations beyond our comprehension, but we are assured that God has a plan and purpose for everything we encounter. Together, we can cultivate faith and trust in His divine wisdom, even in times of uncertainty. It’s okay to experience doubt and questions — what matters is how we respond. Through prayer and seeking His presence, we can find peace. Let us remain hopeful, encouraging one another as we walk this path of faith, believing in God’s promises. Remember, His wisdom is boundless, and we can lean on Him in every situation. xhttps://biblerepository.com/bible-verses-about-things-we-dont-understand/
Things to Come At this time, we know only a part of everything. We can only speak a part of God’s whole message. But a time will come when everything becomes complete. At this time, we see things as if we were looking at them in a dark, hazy mirror. What we see now is not clear. But the time will come when we will see everything clearly. Now we know only a part of what is true. But then we will know everything completely. We will understand completely, just as God understands us completely. – 1 Corinthians 13:9-10, 12

Once upon a time, I believed in sanctions.
At some point along the Ukraine Russia War crotch novel, “sanctions” became, IMO, commonly, short-sighted, ignorant, arrogant…counter-productive.
Maggot’s never seemed focused. Perhaps that was also common under Bushie’s, hussein…
Trump’s sanctions seem targeted, to get a specific reaction / action.
The International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC) is happening now. Connecting Russia to Iran by railroad. Then via ships to India. Bypassing naval choke points and sanctions regimes.
Extensions (eventually, maybe) to China Belt & Road locations, and potentially through Afghanistan (and some of the other *stans) to China as well.
Cutting transit times by 40% and costs by 30%. And avoiding Western Influence & Sanctions & Money.
Forcing the East & Global South & Russia into a shunned status has not only created BRICS+ and the Multipolar world; but is also pushing the creation of “bypasses” to all financial and transport & trade systems of The West. Rejecting 1/2 of the world will not work well for The West (USA, EU, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada; honorary mention Japan).
As this BRICS+ Block integrates, it will become one of the most powerful and influential blocks in the global future. Europe is already in dramatic decline (with Germany almost in economic collapse; and Germany is the financial cash cow that had paid for the rest of the EU… ). Demographics is also working against The West with most of Europe and the USA very top heavy with Old Retired Folks ( I am one ) and light on new births of new productive workers to pay the retirement bills.
As this transport system rolls out, connecting the BRICS+ nations together will also attract their neighbors to join in too. Shifting Russia from their desire to integrate with Europe (Putin in about 1998-9 asked to join NATO…) and into an Asian focus was likely the worst possible thing to do for The West.
Imagine for a moment a world where post USSR, we had invited Russia into The West. There would be an economic union spanning from the Atlantic to the Pacific across Eurasia, and then across north America back to the UK again. That is what we have thrown away via Russia Paranoia and TLA (Three Letter Agency) activism.
Instead we have the USA squandering $Trillions over the years on military adventures, Europe economically on the ropes via shunning low cost and plentiful Russian oil, gas, grain, timber & minerals. With Russia, China and increasingly India; becoming an integrated economic Eurasian Powerhouse. Good luck with that…
It seems that when you bully and piss on folks long enough, they don’t want to do business with you anymore and find other folks to work with. Free markets are like that, and when someone tries to enforce Monopolistic Abusive Policy long enough, folks get motivated to build an alternative.
Here’s a very useful video from the perspective of India on all of this. A pretty good economic and political analysis that also includes a sense of the annoyance people (and countries via their leadership) can have when others attempt to manipulate and dominate them, along with some history. Something to keep in mind in the present mode of manipulation and domination via tariffs & sanctions…
Note that in addition to rail through Azerbaijan there’s a water link through the Caspian Sea. So even destabilizing Azerbaijan (as the TLAs will want to try) can not stop this system from working. Also note the statement that Moscow is paying for most of this – Russia has plenty of money in their economy. The “economic sanctions war” is a failed approach.
Maybe, just maybe: The West would make better progress by respecting other countries and being their friends and partners, instead of the current approach of “piss & vinegar” sanctions and berating. More honey and kind words, more respect for sovereign nations and less “regime change” to impose despised “leaders”…
But having burned all those bridges already, I suspect it is a bit late to start trying to rebuild them.
MIT just exposed every top AI model and it’s not pretty.
They built a new test called WorldTest to see if AI actually understands the world… and the results are brutal.
It doesn’t just check how well a model predicts the next frame or maximizes reward it tests whether it can build an internal model of reality and use it to handle new situations.
They built AutumnBench 43 interactive worlds, 129 tasks where AIs must:
• Predict hidden parts of the world (masked-frame prediction)
• Plan sequences of actions to reach a goal
• Detect when the environment’s rules suddenly change
Then they tested 517 humans vs. Claude, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and o3.
Humans crushed every model. Even massive compute scaling barely helped.
The takeaway is wild.. today’s AIs don’t understand environments; they just pattern-match inside them.
They don’t explore strategically, revise beliefs, or run experiments like humans do.
WorldTest might be the first benchmark that actually measures understanding, not memorization.
The gap it reveals isn’t small it’s the next grand challenge in AI cognition.

Can’t see the X, that JD responded to.
What a disgusting comment, and it's hardly been the only one along these lines.
First off, the question was from a person seemingly to my left, about my interfaith marriage. I'm a public figure, and people are curious, and I wasn't going to avoid the question.
What a disgusting comment, and it’s hardly been the only one along these lines.
First off, the question was from a person seemingly to my left, about my interfaith marriage. I’m a public figure, and people are curious, and I wasn’t going to avoid the question.
Second, my Christian faith tells me the Gospel is true and is good for human beings. My wife–as I said at the TPUSA–is the most amazing blessing I have in my life. She herself encouraged me to reengage with my faith many years ago. She is not a Christian and has no plans to convert, but like many people in an interfaith marriage–or any interfaith relationship–I hope she may one day see things as I do. Regardless, I’ll continue to love and support her and talk to her about faith and life and everything else, because she’s my wife.
Third, posts like this wreak of anti-Christian bigotry. Yes, Christians have beliefs. And yes, those beliefs have many consequences, one of which is that we want to share them with other people. That is a completely normal thing, and anyone who’s telling you otherwise has an agenda. https://x.com/ezralevant/sta/ezralevant/status/1984072547357618408

My older brother, Sam, passed away on 29 October 2024. He was only 75 years old. He had taken at least five (possibly, six) injections of COVID-19 “vaccines”, starting in early 2021. His last “vaccine” injection was taken around Thanksgiving of 2023, although he may have been given yet another shot while he was residing in a nursing home in the early fall of 2024. Yours Truly has written for this board regarding the health decline of Sam after he took the COVID-19 “vaccine” shot in November 2023: please see https://www.theqtree.com/2024/10/18/health-friday-10-18-2024-special-edition-neurological-effects-of-the-covid-19-vaccines-physical-and-psychological/; and, https://www.theqtree.com/2025/07/25/health-friday-7-25-2025-open-thread-more-on-the-covid-19-vaccines-and-what-they-do-to-the-brain/. Within the period of fewer than six months after his taking that COVID-19 “vaccine” shot in November 2023, my brother had lost interest in things he had once enjoyed, such as helping out with his grandchildren; had stopped going to church; had a “freak accident” in which he wrecked his car and then decided not to drive again; had lost interest in taking care of himself and eating properly; and so on. Then, there was the catastrophic fall he sustained in his home in early July 2023; then, to two weeks in the ICU; then, to be being discharged to a nursing home; then, to the diagnosis of “sudden-onset dementia” at that facility; then, to his losing the ability to walk and becoming bed-bound; then, to his contracting pneumonia in late October 2023 at this facility; then, to his death.
My brother had co-morbidities that complicated his health profile: among them, COPD from decades of smoking (he quit in 2010 after that diagnosis and was treated); and, prostate cancer (diagnosed and treated in 2019.) He had lost his wife in the October 2018, just shy of their 47th wedding anniversary; she passed away from an undiagnosed aneurysm that ruptured. He had spent several years after her death taking counseling and medications, which assisted in his processing of this tragedy.
What ultimately happened with my brother was despite the fact that he had “good longevity genes” in his makeup — there were multiple older members on both sides of our birth family who had lived well beyond their 80th, and even their 90th, birthdays. What happened with my brother was also despite the fact that he had made it a point of taking better care of his health since the diagnosis of COPD in 2010. While it is not possible for Yours Truly to state this definitively, I will say I firmly believe that it was the ingredients and mechanisms of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that Sam took which, over time and incrementally, compromised his brain — cognitively and emotionally — with terrible consequences. I firmly believe that it was the COVID-19 “vaccine” injection that my brother took at Thanksgiving 2023 which was the “straw that broke the camel’s back” for him.
However, even before my brother passed away, Yours Truly’s cousin Bill died in September 2023, a “died suddenly and unexpectedly” situation. Cousin Bill had also had taken COVID-19 “vaccines”, starting in 2021. By early 2022, this previously-healthy, active man had been diagnosed with cardiac problems and was undergoing treatment. According to what I understand of the issue, he was “doing well” in treatment. I am also more than fairly certain that my cousin Bill continued to take COVID-19 “booster vaccine” injections, likely based on the recommendations of his doctors. And then, September 2023 happened. Cousin Bill’s death was the first close-family death of the COVID-19 era for Yours Truly. To say that his death was hard for me is an understatement. I have good memories of cousin Bill. His father had passed away in 1993; his mother had passed away in 2017. They did not have to deal with the death of their son.
To say that the passing away of my own brother was devastating to Yours Truly is an understatement of Malthusian proportions. His death has shaken me down to my core. The last time I spoke to him (by phone) was twelve days before his death. It was heartbreaking and gut-wrenching to hear him fighting the “sudden-onset dementia” that had closed in on his brain. To know that he would never leave the nursing home, go back to his house and his nice old dog, go and be with his adult children and his grandchildren. To hear him tell me to send him books on the Civil War or World War II so he could “brush up” on his reading (the truth was, that by this time, he couldn’t read more than one or two sentences from anything.) To know that what had happened to him was so senseless, so incredibly senseless. It was (and still is) heartbreaking to go through the “what-if?” scenarios in my head — What if he had listened to me when I tried to warn him about the dangers of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, and refused to take any more of those injections? What if he had taken Ivermectin to try and clear out at least some of the COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced damage to his body and mind? What if the ingredients and mechanisms of the COVID-19 “vaccines” Sam took aggravated the lung damage from his COPD? What if the ingredients and mechanisms of the COVID-19 “vaccines” he took aggravated or re-established any emotional / psychological issues still lingering after the death of his beloved wife? What if? What if? Our mother had passed away in 1992; our father, in 2006. They did not have to deal with the death of Sam.
Yours Truly is not writing the above in order to solicit sympathy. I am writing the above to illustrate the kinds of things that went on — that are going on now — and, that will go on — in millions of families when the damage induced by the COVID-19 “vaccines” that were taken by family members starts to present (and the damaging effects that have started to present already.) It is all well and good to have a general “working knowledge” of the negative effects these “vaccines” (Bioweapon Toxin Injections) can, and do, induce in those who take them. It is quite another thing to lose close family members due to the negative effects of these “vaccines” that they took. It is quite another thing to have to deal with the knowledge that loved ones in the “here and now” who are COVID-19 “vaccinated” have had their bodies and brains damaged from these “vaccines.” It is quite another thing to listen to them tell those who try to warn them that they aren’t interested — that they “follow the science”; that they “trust their doctor”; among other responses.
Yours Truly will therefore say to those reading today’s offering who have taken COVID-19 “vaccines”:
**** The COVID-19 “vaccines” in your body have already damaged your natural immune system, perhaps even destroyed it:https://jessicar.substack.com/p/the-bnt162b2-mrna-vaccine-against, “‘The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 reprograms both adaptive and innate immune responses”, 16 December 2021. Please see the screenshot from her article, below, the Figure 3 from the cited paper in the article:
Figure 3 shows how the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” systematically damage and destroy the natural immune system cells of the “vaccinated” person’s body.
**** The COVID-19 “vaccines” in your body are damaging your heart and lungs: https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/causality-article.pdf, “Vascular and organ damage induced by mRNA vaccines: irrefutable proof of causality”, Michael Palmer, MD, and Sucharit Bhakdi, MD, 18 August 2022. Please see the screenshots of Slide 7 and its description from the above paper, which clearly shows myocarditis induced by modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”:
Please see the screenshot of Slide 12 from the above paper, which clearly shows lung damage induced by modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”:
Note: the slides in the above paper are from autopsies of persons who passed away after COVID-19 “vaccination.”
**** The COVID-19 “vaccines” in your body crossed the Blood-Brain Barrier and damaged the cells and functions of your brain: https://eurmedres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40001-023-00992-0, “A review of neurological side effects of COVID-19 vaccination”, Roya Hosseini and Nayere Askari, 25 February 2023. Please see the screenshot of Figure 1 from this paper, below:
**** The COVID-19 “vaccines” in your body can induce psychosis: https://nature.com/articles/s41380-024-02627-0, “Psychiatric adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination: A population-based cohort study in Seoul, South Korea”, Eun Mi Chun, et al., 4 June 2024. Please see the screenshot of Figure 2 from this paper, below:
It is a mistake to dismiss the above paper and its conclusions “because it’s from South Korea.” The modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” used in South Korea that are examined for the above paper are the same as those used in the United States (COMIRNATY, by Pfizer-BioNTech; and, SPIKEVAX, by Moderna.)
**** The COVID-19 “vaccines” in your body will alter your DNA and change your body’s genomic codes. These effects are permanent, and are involved in cancers that present after COVID-19 “vaccination”: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-first-peer-reviewed-study-715, “BREAKING: First Peer-Reviewed Study Finds Direct Molecular Evidence of mRNA “Vaccine” Genomic Integration”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 14 October 2025. Please see the screenshot from this article, below (the image was AI-generated):
**** The COVID-19 “vaccines” in your body, if you are a female, have destroyed up to 60% of the lifetime supply of eggs in your ovaries:https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/mrna-shots-are-crippling-humanitys, “mRNA Shots Are Crippling Humanity’s Ability to Reproduce—And No Government is Ending COVID-19 Vaccination”, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, 15 May 2025. Please see the screenshot from this article, below (Yours Truly believes that the graphic image of how COVID-19 “vaccines” destroy primordial follicles is AI-generated):
**** Every injection of a COVID-19 “vaccine” WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE “VACCINE” RECIPIENT: Please see: https://slaynews.com/news/major-study-confirms-covid-vaccine-dose-shortens-lives-recipients/, “Major Study Confirms Every Covid ‘Vaccine’ Dose ‘Shortens the Lives of Recipients'”, by Frank Bergman, 14 October 2025. The published paper is here: https://ijvtpr.com/index.php/IJVTPR/article/view/123/423, “Were the COVID-19 Shots Good, Bad, or Just Ugly? Dispensing with the Only Reasonable Objection to the Empirical Fact that Each Dose of the COVID-19 Shots, on the Average, Shortened the Lives of the Recipients”, John W. Oller, Jr., PhD, and Daniel Santiago, PharmD, 7 October 2025. Screenshots from this paper are below; first, of the Figure 2 from the paper, the all-age mortality figures reported to Public Health England:
Followed by Table 3 from the paper, the Connecticut Medicare Records:
Next, of Figure 5 from the paper, also derived from the Connecticut Medicare Records:
Then, from the Conclusions section of the paper:
These are the COVID-19 “vaccines” that you allowed to be injected into your body.
These are the COVID-19 “vaccines” that you allowed to be injected into the bodies of your children.
And why did you allow these unproven-technology, not-completely tested, “vaccines” to be put into your body, and into the bodies of your children? Because you “trusted the science“; because you “trusted your doctor“; because you were told that “it was the right thing to do“; because you were told that the COVID-19 “vaccines” were “safe and effective“; because you were told that the “the known and potential benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the known and potential risks”; because you were told to “get COVID-19 vaccinated in order to keep yourself, your children, and your parents, safe“; because were you told “get COVID-19 vaccinated in order to keep your job, in order to travel, in order to go to school.”You were lied to. Every step of the way. Lied to by the government — by the CDC and the FDA — by your doctors — by your employer — by your school. They are continuing to lie to you.
Yours Truly has questions for those reading today’s offering who are COVID-19 “vaccinated”:
**** What are you going to do to try and mitigate the damage that these injections have done to your body and brain? To the bodies and brains of your children?
**** What are you going to do to educate yourself regarding how dangerous and deadly these injections are?
**** Do you plan to challenge and question any “recommendation” or “mandate” to have yourself and/or your children injected with more COVID-19 “vaccine” shots?
**** Do you plan to at least think about refusing to take any more COVID-19 “vaccines”, and to think about refusing COVID-19 “vaccines” being injected into your children?
Interested persons may wish to investigate these websites:
For those medical professionals who are COVID-19 “vaccinated”, Yours Truly has extra questions, below. These are based on my 5 1/2+ years of being an independent COVID-19 researcher and writer:
**** With all due respect: Have you recognized that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” induce multiple types of serious adverse events, medical conditions, and can also kill? Have you read this report?: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf, 5.3.6 CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS OF POST-AUTHORIZATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS OF PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) RECEIVED THROUGH 28-FEB-2021, FDA time-stamped on 30 April 2021 09:26 (GMT).
**** With all due respect: Do you understand, that since you are COVID-19 “vaccinated”, there is a strong likelihood that you have also had negative effects induced from these “vaccines”?
**** With all due respect: Why are you still recommending and/or administering these “vaccines”, given the above evidence of damage and death induced by these injectables? Did you perform your own research into the COVID-19 “vaccines” to satisfy yourself that the CDC / FDA claims of “safe and effective” regarding these injectables were / are, true? And, with all due respect, before there are objections to what Yours Truly is writing, please see these websites, by medical doctors, who have actually investigated the COVID-19 “vaccines” and know how dangerous and deadly they are :https://www.thefocalpoints.com/ (Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH); https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/ (Dr. Pierre Kory, MD, MPA, Certified Tribal Practitioner); https://doctors4covidethics.org/ (Dr. Michael Palmer, MD, Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, MD); https://imahealth.org/ (Dr. Joseph Varon, MD, FCCM, FCCP).
**** With all due respect: Why are you not demanding that your employer; your State Medical Licensing Board; your medical professional organization; your Medical Specialty Credentialing organization; the CDC, FDA, AMA — impartially investigate the mounting evidence that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” are dangerous and deadly? Do you, perhaps, have concerns about “retribution” from these entities by doing so?
————————————————–
Yours Truly will remember the echoes of my older brother, Sam, before he started taking COVID-19 “vaccines.” I will remember the echoes of my Cousin Bill before he “died suddenly and unexpectedly.” The pain and the sense of loss from their deaths will never completely go away, since the human mind stores everything in the subconscious and the memory. One can only integrate the pain and the sense of loss into their own being in the healthiest way possible while moving onward.
The COVID-19 “vaccines” — ALL OF THEM — MUST be removed from the market and from use. NOW.
THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.
THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.
THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.

PHILOSOPHICAL BACKGROUND
I have been pointing out the importance of TRADE and trade routes to the Cabal. The importance goes back centuries. The mercantile system is based on trade with the colonies as a source of raw materials and the ‘mother country’ the source of finished goods.
Mercantilism was an economic practice from the 16th to 18th century, where nations sought to increase wealth through export surplus and controlled trade.
The system emphasized accumulating precious metals and often used military force to protect trade interests and enforce monopolistic practices.
Mercantilist policies favored colonies as sources of raw materials and as markets for exports, exemplified by the British Sugar and Navigation Acts.
Although considered outdated, elements of mercantilism persist today, with countries like China and Russia controlling trade and imposing tariffs….
Outdated??? Well that is certainly a lie.
If a country is ‘De-industrialized’ it is back to being a source of raw materials and a market for the Cabal’s Transnational Corporations. See The Network of Global Corporate Control
On March 20, 1969, Dr. Richard Day, the National Medical Director of the Rockefeller-sponsored “Planned Parenthood” told a meeting that American industry will be sabotaged and shown to be uncompetitive.
In view of the recent bankruptcy of General Motors, his remarks are especially pertinent.
“The stated plan was that different parts of the world would be assigned different roles of industry and commerce in a unified global system. The continued preeminence of the United States and the relative independence and self-sufficiency of the United States would have to be changed… in order to create a new structure, you first have to tear down the old, and American industry was one example of that.”
👉“Each part of the world will have a specialty and thus become inter-dependent, he said. The US will remain a center for agriculture, high tech, communications, and education but heavy industry would be “transported out.”
These remarks to the Pittsburgh Pediatric Society were reported by Dr. Lawrence Dunegan, a Pittsburgh pediatrician who died in Jan. 2004. 👉The speech described “A New World System” already in place which would permanently transform the world....
The rest of the warnings in that 2009 article sounds like our recent history.
👉“Each part of the world will have a specialty and thus become inter-dependent, he said.
Al Gore said the same thing to the Future Farmers of America. He told them to get out of farming. There were other plans for the USA and described how the world would be carved up into specialties. I can no longer find those statements but I did find this. (Think AI)
Does economic interdependence increase or decrease the probability of war among states?
With the Cold War over, this question is taking on importance as trade levels between established powers such as the United States and Russia and emerging powers such as Japan, China, and Western Europe grow to new heights. In this article, I provide a new dynamic theory to help overcome some of the theoretical and empirical problems with current liberal and realist views on the question.
The prolonged debate between realists and liberals on the causes of war has been largely a debate about the relative salience of different causal variables. Realists stress such factors as relative power, while liberals focus on the absence or presence of collective security regimes and the pervasiveness of democratic communities.(1)
Economic interdependence is the only factor that plays an important causal role in the thinking of both camps, and their perspectives are diametrically opposed…
This paper is well worth the read despite being 3 decades old.
In 1863, Czar Alexander II sent Russian battleships to NY and San Francisco as a message of solidarity with Lincoln and a threat to imperial forces of Europe.
“In the Autumn of 1862, the governments of France and Great Britain proposed to Russia, in a formal but not in an official way, the joint recognition by European powers of the independence of the Confederate States of America. My immediate answer was: `I will not cooperate in such action; and I will not acquiesce. On the contrary, I shall accept the recognition of the independence of the Confederate States by France and Great Britain as a casus belli
for Russia. And in order that the governments of France and Great Britain may understand that this is no idle threat; I will send a Pacific fleet to San Francisco and an Atlantic fleet to New York.
All this I did because of love for my own dear Russia… I acted thus because I understood that Russia would have a more serious task to perform if the American Republic, with advanced industrial development were broken up and Great Britain should be left in control of most branches of modern industrial development.”
This fact has been literally erased from American history books, but it is better understood in Russia, which has today a statue featuring the two martyred patriots and great emancipators, Czar Alexander II and Lincoln holding hands in Moscow….
In 1890, Lincoln’s friend and first governor of Colorado William Gilpin published his book ‘The Cosmopolitan Railway’ outlining his dream of a world of rail networks, industrial progress and cooperation.
And so the Cabal instigated the Assassination of both leaders. Having failed to destroy the United States, they over threw the Russian government instead and installed ‘Communism.’ After WWII they fomented a cold war against the ‘Communism’ they created and used the communist label as an excuse to overthrow governments that did not cooperate in the Cabal’s rape of their country’s raw materials.
As Matt said:
…Sadly, history unfolded in another direction from the beautiful vision laid out by Czar Alexander II, Abraham Lincoln and William Gilpin.
An age of bankers wars, anarchist assassinations, and economic turmoil disrupted this new age of progress and cooperation among civilizational states.
Matt then goes into The True Origins of Bolshevism
So that was an early vision of an alternate route from the East to the West that could bypass the Middle East route controlled by the British Empire. (Note that the Lincoln, Czar Alexander II statue in Moscow still exists.)
Almost no one covered what should have been last week’s most interesting and most discussed story… India Today covered the news that started the ball rolling, which ran under the headline, “Russia gives US super-secret JFK files with map that could shake up world.” Just wait. This is another world-shaker.
The hand-drawn map within the newly released files —never seen before— bears the provocative English legend, “Kennedy-Khruschev World Peace Bridge—could and should be built between Alaska and Russia. AT ONCE.”
Last week, photogenic Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl.), member of the House Disclosure Committee, announced that —after asking them nicely— the Russians handed over a curated copy of their 400-page KGB dossier on President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
Translators are still working. But that map jumped right out and launched a week of wild speculation over what could be Trump’s most controversial and world-changing move yet.
🔥 One trending hypothesis is that, if the Russian dossier is accurate, at the time of his death, Kennedy—scared straight by the Cuba standoff— was engaged in personal back-channel talks with Soviet General Secretary Khrushchev to officially broker peace between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, including a joint trade development plan as shown on the dossier’s map.
Jeff Childersthen points to a Promethian Action video (11 minutes) via this tweet.
Others have wondered whether his top-secret peace efforts were the straw that spurred his assassination. For more speculation about the disclosure, see Promethian Action’s take (11:23).

Many years ago, Kent approached me on Tony Heller’s blog and sent me a draft copy of his book. This is an excerpt from that book. This passage is a glimpse into the CIA during Kennedy’s presidency. The CIA disdain for both Kennedy brothers drips from each word.
…KGB officers, working under a variety of covers, implanted this influence payload. In what must be considered a success of the highest possible level, a KGB colonel, military intelligence officer, operating under TASS cover, assessed and developed the callow Attorney General of the U.S., whose power far exceeded his job title. As the younger brother of the young President, Bobby Kennedy was one of the President’s closest advisors, 35 years old at the 1961 inauguration.
The military career of Bobby Kennedy, a dilettante who thrived under the patronage of his millionaire bootlegger father, may best illustrate the special dispensations he received, throughout his short life.
Bouncing between boarding schools during WW2, just before he turned 18, apparently to avoid the draft, Kennedy enlisted in the Navy. He was immediately accepted into the Navy’s special training program for college-aged officer candidates, sort of an early ROTC. He, of course, was accepted at Harvard’s version of the program. He did nearly two years in the program, bouncing from Harvard to Bates, and back to Harvard, until the Navy commissioned a ship named after young Bobby’s brother, the U.S.S. Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., surely on the command of Daddy Kennedy, the Democrat power broker.
In February, Kennedy used his father’s Progressive patronage power to obtain a discharge from the officer candidate program, to serve as an apprentice seaman on the USS Kennedy. It doesn’t take much imagination to realize that the peripatetic Bobby Kennedy’s 119 day tour as a seaman on his daddy’s ship had nothing in common with a typical seaman’s sea duty. Arriving on February 1, he left the ship on May 30, and was discharged, honorably from the Navy.
Supported by the Kennedy family’s house newspaper in Boston, he flitted about the world, pretending to be a reporter for a few trips, until he finished law school.
He was immediately ensconced as a lawyer in the Department of Justice in Washington DC, for three months, before his daddy got him a job as a prosecutor in Brooklyn. He only lasted at that job for four months, resigning to “manage” his brother’s Senate campaign. After the successful campaign, daddy again pulled strings, and young Bobby landed a job with, ironically, Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Subcommittee on Investigations.
His tenure with McCarthy was more than seven months, a long time for this daddy’s boy on the move. He left the Senate job to work for, no surprise, daddy Kennedy, supposedly working on government reorganization.
It took his father seven months to get young Bobby his next gig, as chief counsel for the Democrat minority in the Senate. Eleven months later, bouncing Bobby became majority counsel, when the
Democrats won back the Senate from the Republicans. Bobby, not quite 30 years old, with no real world experience, settled into the warm comfort of the sinecure arranged by his daddy, in the shadow of his big brother, the anointed Democrat savior, and waited for the 1960 elections, which daddy Kennedy planned as a coming-out for his favorite surviving son.
Bobby again “managed” a John Kennedy campaign, this time a successful one for President, in 1960, and was rewarded by his daddy and big brother, with the plum appointment to be the Attorney General of the United States.
On his first day in the highest law enforcement office in the country, Bobby Kennedy was barely 35 years old. Outside his blatantly political job as a Democrat counsel in the Senate, he had held a handful of positions, usually for a few months at the most. It appears that virtually all of the “jobs” he held were arranged by his family political connections—119 days on the ship named for Daddy Kennedy’s favorite son, four months as a prosecutor in Brooklyn, seven months as a counsel in the Senate, seven months working for his daddy, until he joined his brother in the Senate, for nearly seven years.
From the point of view of a Russian case officer, working against this shallow, callow, punk daddy’s boy, elevated to a position of nearly absolute power in his brother’s administration, would be child’s play.
The KGB likely began probing multiple avenues of approach to the callow kiddie crowd in the White House, soon after their ascendance in January 1961. Maybe they already had established contacts with Bobby Kennedy, during his international travels, through Europe, the Middle East, India, Vietnam and Japan, as a student, pretending to be a journalist. Students on the make, traveling through these areas would have come to the attention of the KGB in each of the countries he visited. Especially a student who was the son of the corrupt Democrat ambassador to London. The KGB approach that clicked with the naïve Attorney General was the approach of a military intelligence colonel operating under cover as head of the Washington bureau of the TASS news agency. It may be useful to read ahead to the next chapter for the testimony of Ismael Ege, about the KBG’s use of TASS for operational cover.
…..In a classic piece of operational tradecraft, the KGB case officer, Georgi Bolshakov, represented himself to his target, Bobby Kennedy, as a “back-channel” conduit to the Kremlin. This is a common operational ruse, useful to convince otherwise wary targets that the information they share will go straight to the highest levels.
This ruse is also useful against targets in influential positions, for example a kid Attorney General, the most trusted advisor to his brother, the President of the U.S. Against these targets, the ruse is expanded to include a ruse within a ruse—that the target is also receiving confidential details in an “information exchange.” After accepting a “personal relationship” with the Bolshakov, Bobby Kennedy opened up to the espionage professional’s developmental operation. Kennedy invited the KGB officer to his home, and met with him dozens of times. For a developmental operation, this is a rather accelerated schedule. It seems that the KGB was ready to err on the side of aggression, due to the need to implant influence messages with the young administration. In stark contrast to the dilettante know-it-all Bobby Kennedy, Bolshakov was an expert at his profession. He had joined the Soviet intelligence system in 1943, served throughout WW2 and followed that with a three year graduate level training program in intelligence operations. He developed excellent English language skills prior to his posting to Washington.
The superbly successful development of the Attorney General by a man who was clearly Soviet intelligence would seem shocking by today’s counter-intelligence standards. At the time, evidently the Kennedys could do no wrong. Even today historians writing of this espionage operation give Bobby Kennedy an unwarranted benefit of the doubt.
Andrew, discussing Bobby Kennedy’s use as an influence agent, says that Bobby seemed to be, “forgetting that he was dealing with an experienced intelligence professional who had been instructed to cultivate him,” And that “the president’s brother became convinced that ‘an authentic friendship grew’ between him and [the KGB officer].”
There is absolutely no reason to give Kennedy the benefit of any doubt. He was simply an arrogant, ignorant, spoiled rich man’s son playing at international affairs. He was playing against talented, experienced, well-trained professionals. He was no match, and was out-witted, out-gunned, and out-maneuvered. The relationship seems to have terminated when the Russians manipulated the out-witted Kennedys during the Cuban missile crisis. The KGB case officer, after influencing the Kennedy administration’s view for several months, provided a disinformation payload to young Bobby, who swallowed it, hook, line and sinker.
In a conversation recorded in the Oval Office, between the President and his little brother, the two neophytes, playing at power politics seem to come to the realization that they’ve been played for fools.
Bobby tells his brother that he’d had lunch with his KGB handler that day.
President: “What did he say?”
Bobby: “He said this is, this is a defensive base for the Russians. It’s got nothing to do with the Cubans.”
President: “…They’re lying…This horror about embarrassing me in the election…. But they didn’t tell you there were missiles there.”
Bobby: “No. Remember, I told you that.”
A member of the President’s cabinet, later the same day joked about the potential consequences of a war that might ensue over the Soviet missiles in Cuba. Speaking to the Defense Secretary, Robert McNamara, an unidentified meeting attendee said, “Suppose we make Bobby mayor of Havana.” The KGB’s influence operations officers, in the field, were far superior to the Soviets’ decision makers, analysis, or ability to capitalize on the nearly unbelievable operations run by the field officers.
Recruiting, or at least co-opting, the Attorney General of the United States, by the KGB, is the operational equivalent of a grand slam home run, Triple Crown, Three-peat, MVP, World Cup, and a Super Bowl championship, all rolled into one.
The leadership of a banana republic, or an African former colony, where a young colonel as the President, after a coup, installs his even younger brother in his cabinet, might be seen as susceptible to a cabinet member being targeted and played by an ops officer. Such a country would be a ripe target for a case officer’s plucking. But to consider the leadership of a super-power to be susceptible to such a blatant influence operation is shocking and nearly incredible.
The fact is, though, that the Bobby Kennedy operation happened, and has been known for some time. Exact details remain sketchy due to most KGB documentation, as discussed earlier, being under the control of the KGB, while the Kennedy side of the story is controlled by the PC hagiographers who seem to believe that the Kennedys truly were the America’s Camelot. Exposure of truths that tarnish the haloes of the Kennedy brothers is not encouraged by the PC keepers of the legend.

👉However, the relationship between Bobby and Bolshakov is known. Bolshakov’s true status is known. We know what KGB officers do. We know how they operate. We know their operational goals. We know what Bolshakov told Bobby. We know the story that Bobby believed—he had a “back channel” to the Kremlin to avoid diplomatic sclerosis. We know that Bobby eventually realized he’d been used. And we know that none of the American players ever admitted the whole truth.
Bobby told the Russian ambassador that if it became publicly known that he had accepted a deal with the Russians to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey in exchange for the Russians removing their missiles from Cuba it “could cause irreparable harm to my political career in the future.”👈
HMMMMmmmm Is this the reason Bobby Kennedy was offed too?
Now add in the CIA trying to scuttle the current negotiations with Hamas. Only by using NON-STATE DEPARTMENT people was POTUS able to actually get close to peace in the Middle East.
Besides the CIA, who actually works for the British Empire/ Globalist Cartel, there is another thread tying these two events together.

I very much doubt Israel was established for religious reasons by the Satanists, royals & Rothschilds, MONEY aka trade was the real reason as I showed in my article.
1858 — The Suez Canal was an immensely profitable investment by the Rothschild family. The family basically owned the British banking system and had funded all the British war efforts throughout the 19th century. Because the Suez Canal was built with slave labor, the Brits did not want their name associated with the building of it. Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, (Jewish BTW) had N M Rothschild & Sons act for the British Government instead. Disraeli was a close personal friend of Lionel de Rothschild. LINK
(God may have other plans but I am not about to second guess him.)
For now the Cabal looks like they have given up on their new, bigger better canal, The Ben Gurion Canal, in the Middle East because they have bigger fish to fry — Keeping Russia and the USA from uniting and realizing their plans for a ‘BRIDGE’ from Alaska to Siberia thereby bypassing the Middle East all together.
Of course they are STILL trying to overthrow Trump and the USA, so the 5th Generation War is heating up.
What is the correct term to describe the conduct of the Democrat Party? https://t.co/3tI3ehgN6y
POTUS Trump is busy trying to cut-off another source of the CIA/ Cabal’s dark money – Drugs.

Most countries in the Latin America use their militaries against the cartels not because they want to, but because they have to. Their police are severely outgunned [AND co-opted by the CIA via the State Department’s Office of Public Safety. — GC] Those who are crying about Trump blowing up narcoterrorists are either willfully ignorant about how bad things are in Latin America or they really don’t care what happens to America — they oppose everything Trump does. [Of course they do because they are on the side of the Deep State that enslaves the Latinos and destroys US youth. Why else do you think the billionaires support this crap? — GC.]
No one is going to reveal the fight is between the US military and the rogue CIA. I nearly busted a gut laughing when I read Trump was sending the CIA in. I wonder WHICH CIA and WHY. Especially since he announced it.

Trump Goes West, Leaving the Modern British Empire to WRECK Itself
“In this episode, Barbara Boyd examines the recent series of attacks by the British Empire on President Trump and his policies.
Key topics include the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the role of British and European leaders, Trump’s strategic economic alliances in Asia, and the purported financial destabilization plans involving frozen Russian assets.
Boyd also highlights the U.S. Justice Department’s efforts to prosecute those involved in the alleged coup against Trump. ”
So Trump is off to Asia to build the new system/BRIDGE.

Trump Ignores Canada’s Carney at ASEAN Summit, Major China Trade Deal Instead
“In this episode, we delve into Donald Trump’s trip to Asia, highlighting the substantial trade progress with China and contrasting with the suspended trade talks with Canada.
While headlines focus on China, Susan Kokinda reveals Prime Minister Mark Carney’s attempts to undermine Trump’s economic strategies, particularly at the ASEAN Summit.
The episode underscores the clash between Trump’s vision of sovereign nations cooperating and Carney’s globalist agenda. ”
Since we have been in the lowcountry of the great state of South Carolina, I will focus on the state’s Declaration signers that have not yet been discussed this week and next.
However, before we start we probably need to sit a spell on the porch and have some cuisine from the area. Will start with a tea that is the only one of its kind in the nation. Per the company it is the only tea grown commercially in the USA – black tea from Wadmalaw Island near Charleston. The Charleston Tea Plantation developed over a long period of time. It would start and fail, over and over again. Finally, it succeeded for a couple of decades due to involvement with Lipton, yet, shut down again. One of the former owners then cut a deal with R. C. Bigelow out of Connecticut and cranked it back up – successfully. Bigelow opened the Charleston Tea Garden on the island where you can taste test their offerings including the black tea that is grown there. It is open year round. American Classic is their go to. I found it smooth and with a good flavor.
Now that you have wet your whistle, let’s walk into a Gullah Geechee kitchen. Will focus on the more unique offerings. No lowcountry breakfast starts right without some hot sweet potato biscuits along with gravy, sausage, bacon and eggs with grits on the side straight from the Palmetto State’s farms.
Or maybe you are like me and would like to chow down on some crab cakes benny…
As the day gets long there are some low country specialty dishes that will satisfy most folks. South Carolina has some great sweet shrimp, so how about some perloo? For those unaware, it is the lowcountry’s version of jambalaya.
Or shrimp and grits?
So many versions of that to choose from in the lowcountry. Even some with SC pimento cheese grits and local bacon. Try a bit of your favorite barbecue sauce drizzled on top. 😀
As we approach Thanksgiving, it may be good to have some smoked turkey and collard greens…
They even have the official SC good luck meal on New Year’s Day known as Hoppin’ John. Carolina gold rice, black eyed peas and pork…
For dessert or to satisfy a sweet tooth snack, Benne seed cookies…
That’s just a starter pack of SC comfort food to get your attention.
Regions
South Caroline is noted for having five major regions with other smaller areas with distinctive features. They are described in the link below.
Bet you will not find another region in America called Pee Dee. 😀 Actually the name originates from a native Indian tribe that was located in the northeastern Piedmont region of the state. There is a river there named after them. A unique state with an interesting history.
They cannot help they produced two of the biggest political flimflam artists in American politics ever…
And…
With one of his proteges no less. Well, actually we need to add one more flimflamette…
Good Lawd, South Carolina. Do better.
Time for a signer.
Edward Rutledge
As the youngest of seven children of Dr. John and Sara Hert Rutledge, Edward Rutledge followed his older brothers and became an attorney. He was born in 1749 in Charleston. His father was Scots-Irish and was a physician. His mother was of English descent and was born in South Carolina. Her family was wealthy and owned plantations. Edward studied law in London. He was admitted to the Middle Temple (bar) in 1772 before returning to Charleston to set up his practice. In 1774, He married Henrietta Middleton, sister of future Declaration signer Arthur Middleton, and they had three children.
He partnered with another famous SC family member, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and became quite successful. He was an excellent orator. It was not long before he joined the patriot movement. He was elected to the Continental Congress and state’s House of Representatives. Over the next year he represented the state in many actions and discussions concerning independence. It was his ardent support as the final vote neared that swayed his fellow SC delegates to approve independence. He was the youngest Declaration signer at age 26.
Though he and his family owned slaves, he moved away from his support for it as time passed. He was careful in his approach with the issue in that he fully supported states rights on an issue that SC strongly supported. All of which made his participation in the preparation of the Articles of Confederation challenging.
Prior to the start of formal War hostilities; he, B and John Adams met with British Lord Admiral Howe to negotiate without benefit. Edwin held great respect for George Washington and said in the following in letter, “I must beg Leave to inform you that our Conference with Lord Howe has been attended with no immediate Advantages. He declared that he had no Powers to consider us an Independent States, and we easily discovered that were we still Dependent we should have nothing to expect from those with which he is vested. He talked altogether in generals, that he came out here to consult, advise & confer with Gentlemen of the greatest Influence in the Colonies about their Complaints…This kind of Conversation lasted for several Hours & as I have already said without any effect…. Our reliance continues therefore to be (under God) on your Wisdom & Fortitude & that of your Forces. That you may be as successful as I know you are worthy is my most sincere wish…God bless you my dear Sir. Your most affectionate Friend, E. Rutledge.”
Returning home in 1779 with an illness he was later appointed lieutenant colonel under Gen. Moultrie in Charleston and helped lead a victory over British forces at Port Royal. However, he was taken prisoner in the siege of Charleston and sent to St. Augustine with Thomas Heyward and Arthur Middleton. He was released eleven months later in 1781. He resumed his law practice with Charles Pinckney as well as public service in the state through the years that followed. He continued to become wealthier and purchased additional plantations. Henrietta passed away in 1792. He married Elizabeth Shubrick Eveleigh, who was a young widow and sister of two Eveleigh women who had married Declaration signers Thomas Heyward and Thomas Lynch.
Must have been something in the SC water. They sure liked to keep their love lives in the family(ies).
😉
He was offered an associate justice position on the US Supreme Court by Washington, but declined. Four years later he ran for governor of SC in 1798 and won. He served in that role until passing away in 1800. He is buried in St. Phillip’s Churchyard Cemetery in Charleston. His beautiful home in the historic district was occupied for many years until it was restored. In 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Edward’s brother, John, had an equally impressive life and career during the period. From participation in the Continental Congress, to state government that included being its President and Governor, to being involved in the Constitutional Congress and as a signer, to being on the US. Supreme Court and being appointed its Chief Justice by Washington in 1795.
As to Edward’s reputation with his peers, in 1774 John Adams considered Edward “a peacock who wasted time debating upon points of little consequence.” Benjamin Rush had a more valued view although he considered him overly verbose. Whereas Patrick Henry viewed Rutledge as the greatest orator among a group that included John and Samuel Adams, John Jay, and Thomas Jefferson.
Sounds a bit like a founding father rivalry to me. Edward Rutledge (and his sibling) was a patriot of the first order who did great things for America. We appreciate his service to our nation.

God is in Control . . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . . Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” . . . “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Present with the Lord
In 2 Corinthians 5:8, the apostle Paul writes, “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord”. The expression absent from the body refers to physical death. When this life ends, believers will be immediately ushered into the glorious presence of the Lord. Then we will see Him face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12). And, at that moment, we will be “present with the Lord.”
To fully appreciate the significance of 2 Corinthians 5:8, it is important for us to review the immediate context. In 2 Corinthians 5:1–7, Paul contrasts the temporary nature of our earthly bodies with the eternal nature of our heavenly bodies. Once our earthly bodies are destroyed, “we have . . . an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands” (verse 1). Most translations of 2 Corinthians 5:8 emphasize the aspect of having an “eternal house,” saying that, at death we will be “at home with the Lord”.
In our earthly state, we earnestly desire “to be clothed . . . with our heavenly dwelling” (2 Corinthians 5:2), which will not leave us “naked” or without a dwelling place (verse 3). Our heavenly bodies will not be subject to decay or death (mortality). Instead, we will receive new bodies that are imperishable and immortal (verse 4; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:54). We know that God has prepared a heavenly home for us (John 14:2) because He “has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come” (2 Corinthians 5:5; cf. Romans 5:5 and Ephesians 1:14). Currently, the presence of God is a matter of faith (Hebrews 11:1) because we are “at home in the body” and “away from the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:6). So, right now, “we live by faith, not by sight” (verse 7). It is in this context that Paul writes, “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord” (verse 8).
Physically, we cannot be in two places at the same time. If we are present in this world, we are absent from the ranks of heaven. But, for us believers in Christ, when we are absent from this world, we will be present with the Lord. We will have arrived at our true home. In the words of James M. Black, “When all of life is over and our work on earth is done, / And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there” (1893).
Paul longed for the day when his sin-corrupted body would be replaced with a glorified one. For this reason, he viewed trials and tribulations as “light and momentary troubles” that could not be compared to “an eternal glory that far outweighs them all” (2 Corinthians 4:17; cf. Romans 8:18). This hope for an incorruptible body and eternal dwelling place gives us confidence in the face of suffering, as we know that our salvation is eternally secure (John 10:28–29).
Because Paul was confident of his eternal destiny, he was not afraid to die (1 Corinthians 15:54–55). In fact, he welcomed death because he knew that he would be present with the Lord. In Philippians 1:21–24 he expresses a similar thought: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.” This does not mean that Paul had a death wish. On the contrary, he was expressing confidence that death is not final, especially for Christians. Death is simply a transition into a glorious heavenly body. Therefore, we should not fear anything or anyone (Isaiah 25:8; Matthew 10:28).
Second Corinthians 5:8 reminds believers that our ultimate home is not in this world, but in heaven. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Hence, we are called to be in the world but not of the world (Romans 12:2). As heavenly citizens, our allegiance is to God, not the world: “Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body” (Philippians 3:20–21). When Christ returns, our earthly bodies will be exchanged for bodies fit for heaven.
The hope of eternal life is the bedrock of Christianity. Because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we know that death is not the end. And if we believe in Him for salvation from our sins, then we will live with Him in heaven (Romans 6:1). We will be present with the Lord and also reunited with loved ones who have passed away before us. This hope is not based on wishful thinking or blind faith but on the promises of God revealed in Scripture. xhttps://www.gotquestions.org/present-with-the-Lord.html
Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun; Let us talk of all his wondrous love and care. Then when all of life is over and our work on earth is done, And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

More than 35,000 diamonds … found by visitors since the Crater of Diamonds became an Arkansas state park in 1972.
Notable diamonds found at the Crater include the 40.23-carat Uncle Sam, the largest diamond ever unearthed in the U.S.;
the 16.37-carat Amarillo Starlight;
the 15.33-carat Star of Arkansas;
and the 8.52-carat Esperanza.
THIS year, four, two carat diamonds have been found.
403 diamonds THIS year.
TMI.
Back in July, brought 10yo and 14yo Grands, girl and guy respectively to, Crater of Diamonds State Park.
Nearly four hours we sat and kneeled in dirt. Dug up some dirt, sifted… Brought some of the dirt to troughs of water, where we, sorta like panned for gold diamonds.
Grands came away with a mini handful, of what, they hoped were diamonds.
Arkansas Park employee, certified in identifying diamonds and semi-precious stones. Smiled, said, not this time. Hope you had fun. We did.
Oklahoma family uncovers ‘really neat’ diamond at state park, thanks to dollar store tools
Unusual discovery brings number of 2025 park finds to 403 diamonds
Oklahoma family members recently hit the jackpot when they found an impressive diamond at an Arkansas state park this month – with tools they bought at a dollar store.
The discovery, made at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, was announced by Arkansas State Parks on Sept. 23.
A family from Cookson, Oklahoma, some 65 miles southeast of Tulsa, made the discovery on Sept. 13.
Officials said that visitor Raynae Madison and her family visited the Natural State to celebrate the birthday of Madison’s nephew, William.
During the trip, they decided to stop by Crater of Diamonds State Park to try their luck at digging gems, according to a press release.
“To prepare for their visit, they purchased a beach digging kit and sand sifting tools from a dollar store,” the press release noted.
“The family picked a spot to dig on the north side of the park’s 37.5-acre diamond search area, near Prospector Trailhead.”
The family dug a few buckets’ worth of dirt before they began sifting through their screens – which is when Madison noticed “an unusual oblong, shiny stone.”
The aunt told officials that she thought the find was “really neat,” at first, but had no idea what it was.
The aunt told officials that she thought the find was “really neat,” at first, but had no idea what it was.
“[Brown diamonds] reflect red and green light, combining to make the diamond appear brown.”
“I honestly thought it was too big to be a diamond!” she said.
The gem was then identified to be a brown diamond weighing 2.79 carats – an impressively hefty find for the state park.
Madison opted to name it the William Diamond, for her nephew.
“Brown diamonds from the Crater occur due to a process called plastic deformation, which creates structural defects during a diamond’s formation or movement in magma,” park interpreter Emma O’Neal said of the find.
“These defects reflect red and green light, combining to make the diamond appear brown.”
Arkansas State Parks does not disclose the value of gems found at their park, and their website notes that the “exact value” of many diamonds is unknown until they are cut or appraised.
“Park staff do not grade or appraise diamonds,” the site states.
So far, 403 diamonds have been found at Crater of Diamonds State Park in 2025 – four of which have weighed over two carats.
Earlier this year, a Minnesota farmer found a “candy-like” diamond that he compared to a Werther’s candy wrapper.
In 2024, a French visitor found a 7.46-carat diamond at the park. The tourist, Julien Navas, named the gem after his fiancée, Carine.

Please take a moment and remember our good GA/FL (Georgia Sibyl Swink Smith), who passed away on 8 October 2025. The time, energy, and ingenunity that GA/FL invested into decades of taking care of her late daughter, “Sally Q” Smith, after the latter’s diagnosis of Friedreich’s Ataxia at the age of 14, was amazing and inspiring. Sally Q passed away from the effects of this condition on 10 May 2025. Georgia was a devout Christian. May she and her daughter rest in eternal Peace. GA/FL will be sorely missed.
Yours Truly comes from a birth family that, on both sides, had a horror of having to go into “a home” (“a home” was “code” for a nursing home or care facility.) Grandparents, aunts, uncles — even one’s own father — vigorously preferred to remain at home, no matter what, and stay away from congregate living of any kind. Only as a last resort, did my maternal grandmother have to go to live at a nursing home. I think she had a premonition that she would not “come out alive” from the facility. She was correct. My own brother was discharged from the hospital to a nursing home, but that, too, was under “last resort” circumstances; he, also, did not “come out alive” from the facility. In both the cases of my maternal grandmother and of my brother, there were extremely serious medical conditions which excluded their ever living at their own homes again.
Nursing homes and care / rehabilitation facilities in the United States are inspected by the state health agencies where these are located. CMS (Medicare / Medicaid) will step in if a nursing home or care facility fails to meet state inspection standards, or if complaints are filed with either the state health department or CMS regarding a nursing home or care / rehabilitation facility. Please see: https://www.cms.gov/medicare/health-safety-standards/enforcement/nursing-home-enforcement, last updated 21 April 2025.
Nursing homes and care / rehabilitation facilities in the United States were especially negatively affected by the COVID-19 disaster. During the “lockdown” period, these places became off-limits to family and friends of the residents / patients. Untold numbers of these residents / patients died alone. Untold numbers of residents / patients were injected with the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, whether they consented to this or not. According to data complied by the CDC, residents / patients of these facilities had increased risk of death if they were “vaccinated” against COVID-19: https://kirschsubstack.com/p/cdc-nursing-home-data-the-vaccine, “CDC Nursing Home Data: The vaccine increased the risk of the elderly dying from COVID”, Steve Kirsch, 5 September 2023. Please see the screenshots from this article, below:
The AMA (American Medical Association), on the other hand, made it clear, also in 2023, that deaths among the COVID-19 “vaccinated” simply underscored the “need” for persons to get a COVID-19 “vaccine booster shot”: https://www.ama-assn.org/public-health/infectious-diseases/why-covid-19-deaths-among-vaccinated-show-boosters-matter, Cynthia Cos, et al., 7 March 2023. Please see the screenshots from this article, below, in which Dr. Elaine Choi (a member of the AMA) is “explaining” why COVID-19 “vaccine booster shots” are a good thing, even though “vaccinated” persons were then dying from COVID:
Currently, the AMA, among other professional medical organizations, is speaking out regarding what they term the “new restrictions against COVID-19 vaccination” that were put into place by HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., earlier this year. One example of such “speaking out” is here: https://www.chiefhealthexecutive.com/view/defending-vaccines-ama-nursing-leaders-speak-out, Ron Southwick, 22 September 2025. There is a video embedded in the article; two screenshots from the article’s text are below:
Note the old (and misinformation) canard about “if you’re young and healthy, get a COVID-19 vaccine so your grandparents won’t get COVID” from Mensik Kennedy.
Steve Kirsch posted an article this week on his Substack blog regarding the Japan CMRR data, which proves that the more COVID-19 “vaccine” injections a person takes, the more risk that person has of dying:https://kirschsubstack.com/p/japan-cmrr-data-website-shows-clear, “Japan CMRR data website shows clear mortality increase caused by COVID shot”, 20 October 2025. Please see the screenshot from his article, below. (Note: CMRR = Cumulative Mortality Risk Ratio.) The first screenshot is of the general summary chart:
The second screenshot is from the Kirsch KCOR analysis of the Japan data, along with text summary;
Applying all of the above to persons who, for whatever reason, are residents / patients in nursing homes or care / rehabilitation facilities: How do these people, if they do NOT want to take a COVID-19 “vaccine” injection, make their decision clear to the staff, including to the medical staff? How are these people assured, that if they do NOT want to take a COVID-19 “vaccine” injection, and there is an outbreak of COVID at the facility, that they will have access to Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Vitamin D, Zinc, and other alternative treatments for prevention or treatment of a COVID infection? How are these people assured, if they do NOT want to take a COVID-19 “vaccine” injection, that they will NOT be moved into a “segregated area” of the facility; or, worse yet, be told (or, their family / guardian be told) that the resident / patient “has to find another facility?” The issue is compounded by the fact that almost all nursing homes and care / rehabilitation facilities receive CMS funding or payments of some kind. Also, there is the “Next Generation Gold Standard” of “evidence-based COVID-19 vaccination” guidelines that were announced and implemented by HHS / NIH / CDC / FDA earlier this year. These guidelines “recommend” that persons age 65 and older get a COVID-19 “booster shot” TWICE a year. What does this mean for the person living in a nursing home in, for example, Alabama, (a facility that receives CMS funding or payments) — a person who is competent to make their own decisions, and who decides to refuse to take a COVID-19 “vaccine” injection? What if that person refuses because of religious belief? What if the person refuses because the “vaccine” contains elements lab-recreated from aborted fetal blood cell lines (the HEK293 lines?) Does the facility then “have the right”, because of the “new guidelines” in the “Evidence-Based Approach to COVID-19 Vaccination” that have been implemented, to override the person’s decision and give the injection anyway? Does the facility now “have the right” to tell the person’s children / guardian that they need to “find another facility” to take the person? Please see: https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-nih-announce-generation-gold-standard.html; also, https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsb2506929, “An Evidence-Based Approach to COVID-19 Vaccination”, Martin Makary, MD, MPH, and Vinay Prasad, MD, MPH. Dr. Makary is the Commissioner of the FDA; Dr. Prasad is the Director of the CBER Division of the FDA. Please see the screenshot of Figure 3 from this NEJM paper, below:
In addition, please see the age 65 and older immunization schedule recommendations for other injectables on the chart above — Influenza; RSV; pneumonia; Monkeypox; Herpes Zoster (“Shingles”); Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B; and more.
There is now supposed to be “Shared Clinical Decision-Making” between patient and healthcare provider regarding the COVID-19 “vaccines” for persons age 19 and above. Does that also apply across the board to persons living in nursing homes or care / rehabilitation facilities who are competent, but the facility they reside or stay in is also receiving CMS and/or Medicare-Medicaid payments?
There are multiple “Notes” sections regarding the administration of the other “vaccines” listed above in persons age 65 and older (and, in some cases, age 60 and older.) These “Notes” are found here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/adult-notes.html#note-covid-19; please scroll down this webpage and click on the topic to read about, such as, “Influenza vaccination.” There are multiple “vaccines” that are considered to be “routine”, such as the influenza “vaccine”, the RSV “vaccine”, and so on. What if a person living in a nursing home or care / rehabilitation facility decides to refuse all of these “routine” injectables, or decides to take only one or two? What happened to “Shared Clinical Decision-Making” in regards to this? Especially in light of new research that proves, for example, that the pneumonia “vaccines” actually increase the risk of contracting pneumonia and dying from said infection? Please see: https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-223-million-person-study, “BREAKING: 2.23 Million Person Study Finds Pneumococcal Vaccines Increase Risk of Pneumonia and Death”, Nicolas Hulscher, 22 October 2025.
And, what about the COVID-19 “vaccinated” personnel (administration staff; doctors; nurses; CNAs / PCAs; facility maintenance staff; kitchen staff, etc.) who work at these nursing homes or care / rehab facilities? What about the “downstream Medical Tsunami” of negative effects on them of the “vaccines” that they took, which will present at some point, if not already? What about potential staff loss / turnover?
And, what about the vast majority of the adultchildren of these residents / patients, who are themselvesalso COVID-19 “vaccinated” — including the adult children who have already taken multiple injections of these “vaccines?” What about the “downstream Medical Tsunami” of negative effects on them of the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they took, which will present at some point, if not already?
And, what about the potential for another “pandemic emergency” being declared (including from some type of Avian Influenza outbreak) that “mandates” another round of “lockdowns”, which would effect nursing homes or care / rehab facilities?
In Yours Truly’s opinion, these are all things that need to be brought into the daylight and discussed. They represent another “ripple effect” aspect of the ongoing disaster of COVID-19.
THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.
