Our mission, as God-fearing and God-loving patriots, is to defend this Constitutional Republic and to increase its greatness, in all good things and ways, by using our voices in free but courteous speech, by discussing the happenings of the world and coming to a profound understanding of those things, and by sharing and promulgating these Truths on both this platform and others.
This DePat Tuesday Open Thread honors the author of the original Tuesday open thread on this site, namely the late Susie Sampson, a.k.a. Deplorable Patriot, among her other handles, pen names, etc.
For more on the untimely passing of Dear DePat, please see these three posts.
At one time, DePat handled FOUR daily open threads here, in addition to taking care of her relatives, choir duties, and numerous other responsibilities. She was a powerhouse – a dynamo – a true force of nature.
DePat’s faith in Trump, Q, “The Plan”, the White Hats, and “the anons” in general, was legendary. Although I didn’t always agree with her quick acceptance of some sketchier evidence and fringier theories, I will gladly admit to “coming around” to numerous so-called “conspiracy theories” which she championed first. I was always careful to give her credit for being right, too, when I had been wrong.
It is impossible to overstate how much DePat did for not only this site, but for her country. I urge all to say a quick prayer of thanks, whenever you think of her, for the privilege of knowing, in life or after death, such an exemplary human being, and lover of God.
And thank you, Susie, for the firm foundation which you left us, when you were called to your true home!
Did Amy Acton Help Light the Federal Fires of COVID Doomerism?
TL;DR –
In my opinion, the answer is yes, and I suspect that you will find the full answer fascinating.
Everybody in Ohio knows that Amy Acton – DOCTOR Amy Acton – a.k.a. “Lockdown Amy” – is why Ohio locked down for COVID, and why so many of Ohio’s local restaurants and other businesses closed down, never to return.
But what most people don’t know, is that Amy also apparently had a role in influencing the White House to join the party to “flatten the curve”.
Don’t take my word for it – take the word of Amy Acton’s own staff members, as I will explain in detail, below.
Background
I recently posted about a couple of Amy Acton videos, and how they were evidence of “two Amy Actons” – (1) the real one, who talks like a drunk and curls up on a fetal position on the floor of the restroom – and (2) the imaginary one created by her staff and party – the one who is competent, the heroine of the COVID years, and has zero issues.
As I noted in that post, both videos are a bit tragic.
In the first video, by the New York Times, we see some of the cringiest left-wing media propaganda ever. It’s like an ad for Kamala’s Best Nutritious Word Salad – made in California. Yes – Amy Acton sounds like Kamala’s lost sister. The vocal similarity is uncanny, and I would not be surprised if white wine coolers are to Plame. Blame. Whatever.
Not to say that the CIA is definitely involved here, but Acton was clearly being made a heroine for adopting the left’s favorite captured agency’s COVID panic control script, while authentically heroic character seems a bit lacking.
If you watched the whole thing, congratulations. I was repeatedly cringing out, every time I tried to watch.
The second video is a lot more fun. Amy Acton is quite lovable in it, but in a way that makes her absolutely unfit for higher office. I can’t tell if she’s tipsy, floating on Xanax, or just high on her 15 minutes of fame, but there is no way such a woman can be allowed into the Ohio Statehouse as anything but a tourist, or perhaps as a mom testifying on an educational issue, where a courage drink or two is socially acceptable for first-time speakers, as long as they have a designated driver.
What’s most interesting, however, is that the TRANSCRIPT doesn’t match the video at all. And while it’s not really a problem that Amy’s staff chose not to document her rambling, emotional, and sometimes incoherent, group-hug psychobabble, what IS interesting is what they released in its place.
Tell me if this doesn’t sound like Amy Acton single-handedly saved America from COVID-infected J6-er kidnappers, and was personally responsible for Trump choosing to follow her advice to BE A HERO, locking down and flattening the curve!
Yes – according to Amy Acton’s aides and handlers, SHE was responsible for Trump doing the right thing on COVID.
In the midst of several pages of breathless, Barnes & Noble-grade COVID doomerist “historical fiction”, this paragraph appears…..
During the last week of February, as the stock market crashed for the second time, I was at the White House as a Health Department Director representing the entire Midwest for the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO). Mick Mulvaney, the President’s Chief of Staff, and some of the best people who have served multiple presidents were in attendance. One bioterrorism expert was literally shaking. But they were still not talking about the disease on the news. Even though I had taught global health for years, I Googled the word “pandemic.” I could not understand why we were not using the word. We went around the room, and each person gave their best virology and epidemiology advice. When it was my turn, most had been said, but I was struck by what was not being said to the country. Just like everyone else, I was longing to hear the hard truth. So I told Mr. Mulvaney, “Please tell the President that this is the higher angel’s moment. The people need to hear from him.” This is that FDR, Winston Churchill moment where communication is vital, and my gut sense was that we really needed the President to make meaning out of all we were facing. To help us bear the shared sacrifices, we needed someone to lead the war. Only this time, the entire world was on the same side.
UGH!!!
Some of that account may be a bit self-serving, but the point is, THIS was a moment when both COVID doomerism and “the opportunity for heroic response” were pushed on POTUS, and yes – Amy Acton was there, helping it happen.
Dramatically or not. Sober or not.
Now, I wasn’t ready to believe this statement without at least a wee bit of validation – so I chose to find out what Mick Mulvaney might have to say about that era now. And he does indeed have a lot to say.
It seems clear to me that Mulvaney fell for what most of us fell for – the possibility that we were dealing with something comparable to SARS, MERS, Ebola, and all that jazz. That we were dealing with an exotic “coronavirus” with double-digit mortality in young adults – NOT with something that had a very normal flu-like mortality curve – like all influenza-like illnesses, including the known, endemic, human coronaviruses.
Once the real numbers came out – once I saw those real numbers in public – it should have been over – but the Democrats just kept pretending, to the power-enthralled audience of their captured states and institutions.
Amy never corrected herself on this error. Trump, Vivek, and even I did. Some sooner than others.
SO – does Ohio REALLY want to elect this ditzy, pretending, overly dramatic broad to be governor? “Lockdown Amy” Acton?

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

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

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

WOLF MOON onmRNAVACCINES
AND THIS IS KEY.
If what Wolf proposes is true, POTUS unleashed the brainstorming of Americans to find ways to mitigate the effects of the clot shots. Not only did Trump, spike the guns of the 10 years of lockdown crowd AND not require or promote the clot shot, but early on he promoted alternatives. Trump and Dr Navarro even got India to manufacture HCQ for the USA and the USA then had strategic reserves of the stuff. Of course the Cabal countered with a lying Fake Science trial showing HCQ kills people. With Ivermectin, they just killed the study.
Starting the comments HEREon September 22, 2026 11:26Bold is mine.
IMO, after numerous “behavioral training” hoaxes for allegedly possessing or releasing information, Trump is NEVER going to push to actually release information on deep military stuff like “why they’re developing bad but very quickly produced vaccines” that cost only 0.0001 out of 15, which apparently is a real DEAL as far as the military is concerned. Even among their own forces.
IMO Bobby Kennedy has been “read in”, too. But (IMO) they did NOT read in Prasad or Makary – too low-level and could not be trusted to keep the secrets. Those guys pushed where Kennedy could not protect them.
I strongly suspect now that JFK was killed because he was going to take stuff public in some way that was a predictable disaster.
If I go back and study the stuff that was kept secret during WWII, and assume that similar situations are ongoing today, then things starts making sense.
We are NEVER going to ban these vaccines. IMO they would rather disclose the truth and endure the resulting societal problems, than lose the military edge that genetic vaccines provide in hypothetical conflicts.
But whatever. We need to keep doing our thing to minimize the blowback, IMO. But not having the “gun/shield” is not an option.
You yourself have published the truth about the HHS/DoD connection. We all know that DoD and HHS have been joined at the hip on bioweapons for decades. I doubt that there was even military unanimity on the idea of Fauci and HHS moving experiments to Wuhan being a good idea or a bad idea. I suspect there are varying levels of realism on mRNA vaccines.
And yes, in these hypotheses, I assume Fauci was the guy who was “read in” on whatever is really going on.
Not everybody who supports mRNA vaccines has the same motivation for supporting them. Many people believe all the narrative BS that the media spits out. But then add people who discern varying levels of badness of the vaccines, and who then have varying levels of tolerance on that.
I don’t think anybody except embedded depoppers, ChiComs, and a few others are “fine” with the casualties of the clot shot. But I do think there are people in the system who know how bad it is, but who also know why that badness is being tolerated.
I’m not trying to discourage people. I’m trusting Trump, AND Bobby Kennedy, and simultaneously trying to explain why they’re allowing a marginal but potentially critical vaccine technology to be developed.
And if I’m right about this, it’s a lot more important than an election. I don’t LIKE that, but it’s true. A “humanity-clearing virus” with 80+% mortality being stopped in its tracks by a vaccine with a COVID-level death rate (or a COVID vaccine-level death rate – pretty similar) – that’s a win, if we’re ever in that position.
That’s cold, hard science. It’s not pretty, but it has to be considered.
Frontiers are not safe. At the same time we were developing the American frontier, we had “early” anesthesia. Ether, chloroform, and others. It was DANGEROUS as hell. We also had rapid amputations with saws. Same. But it was better than the alternative.
Right now – with all the flaws of the mRNA vaccines, if there is suddenly an “airborne Ebola”, then our having the ability to create a working and deliverable vaccine in under 24 hours is a huge, huge, huge military advantage in SAVING AMERICA. Maybe saving humanity.
Obviously, WE should not be making that virus. But WE don’t control other people on the planet (honestly, we can’t even control our own), and if there ARE “people” not on this planet who have more advanced technology, well, we don’t control them, either.
So, IMO, the bad (side effects) but good (fast) mRNA technology needs to move forward. I just think we need to be more honest about why we’re doing it. The REASONS of speed and simplicity have been mentioned. The reasons behind those have not.
I refuse to believe Trump is stupid about this, and that Bobby Kennedy has turned into a polar opposite on vaccines. Something is up. And these hypotheses explain it.
Thanks for thinking about it. It’s not easy, but it bears consideration by more minds to see if it makes sense.
I’ve done a lot of thinking to try to solve the riddle of Trump’s enigmatic vax position, but Bobby Kennedy gave me another equation to work with, and that allowed me to see some potential solutions. Mix in the military’s shadowy support for the entire thing, without knee-jerking that they’re Satan-worshiping DARPA baddies, and suddenly some rational possibilities come into view.
There are times that the entire COVID psy-op struck me as a bit of a live drill, and while I think that idea is far too simplistic, I do think that people advising Trump have surely been doing so from literal Q-clearance knowledge that can’t go public.
For instance (and this is also to share some mRNA knowledge) it is entirely possible that our military KNEW in 2018-2019 that there would eventually be another pathogen lab leak, likely significant, and in top military manner, we had prepared for it. The best tech for rapid response on a proven platform, though not using proven-safe protein targets, had to have been the mRNA technology, IMO, despite all its flaws, problems, and unknown risks. On paper, it’s the best. Yeah, it doesn’t guarantee a shut-off of production. Yeah, it makes errors because of N1-methylpseudouridine. Yeah, it has toxicity problems in the LNPs. Yeah, it goes to bad places it shouldn’t go. Everything we’ve discussed.
BUT we know that the baseline badness of side effects is probably only one or two orders of magnitude worse than our “best” vaccines. For some unknown future disease where the death rate exceeds that from the clot shot itself, AND the saving of lives due to fast action is exponential, mRNA shots will clearly have a desirable total life-saving yield. They won’t do it as safely as a traditional vaccine using a protein immunogen, but they will start saving lives sooner and faster. This can be easily modeled.
This would have been more obvious if Omicron had not saved us from Delta, with the latter being about as pathogenic as Original Wuhan, and it would have been completely clear if there had been no mutation of Wuhan, because in that case we might have seen permanent immunity from the vax.
All that said, we must (IMO) keep pointing out the deficiencies of the mRNA technology. I suspect there are limits to how much improvement is possible, so we cannot delude ourselves if these remain sub-par vaccines compared to protein technologies. We cannot let lies about mRNA technology, nor even its potential heroic use in a truly apocalyptic biological event, blind us to the reality that old-style vaccines are and likely will remain superior.
However, I think that it would be wonderful if somebody “on our side” were able to outline the highly theoretical risk-benefit curves, where mRNA vaccines might save lives sooner and bigger at high pathogenicity, but are demonstrably sub-optimal at low pathogenicity, thereby framing both the negatives and positives of the technology in a way that allows us to make peace with each other. In that case, RFKJ’s wisdom of allowing mRNA to go forward, but under increased scrutiny and deference to sound scientific results, will prove historically correct, IMO.
I’ll just say right off the bat that I don’t expect anybody here to believe any of these hypotheses – and I do call them hypotheses, because I’m not locked in on any of them. And just for further clarification, I’m not certain that anything you’re additionally speculating as being implied, is actually implied, or is intended by me to be implied, but you are welcome to digest what I say in any way that makes sense to you, no problem.
These are very loose hypotheses, designed around the idea that much of what we are seeing is the result of secrecy that is both constraining and manipulating President Trump and Bobby Kennedy.
I remain uncertain whether Trump was actually read in on anything potentially related to these hypotheses during his first term, but the suspicion that he (45) was NOT – and later (47) WAS – looms large to me as a handy explanation of otherwise inexplicable things. Indeed, I further suspect that Obama and Brennan’s plot to raise “Russia, Russia, Russia” suspicions about Trump was designed to make sure Trump could not be informed about certain things.
In the beginning of the “pandemic”, Trump had to act on uncertainty – uncertainty about many things, including the origin of the virus, the motivations of all the players behind it, the science itself, and even the actual lethality of the virus. I don’t know what he was told that was classified at the time, but I suspect he WAS informed of SOME classified things in SOME areas. That is a multi-dimensional continuum – not a binary.
I suspect his context for decisions included some, but not all, classified aspects. All I know is that I trust that Trump did the best he could with what he was given.
….
To me, this indicates the Malthusians aka British Empire has been in control. And to some extent still is. (See my Depop series especially Kissinger’s National Security Study Memorandum NSSM 200.) Remember Kissinger said point blank during a Chatham House speech, he kept the Brits better informed than our US State Dept. Also Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum was a protegee of Kissinger.
YOURS TRULY WARNED THIS BOARD ABOUT DR. ERICA SCHWARTZ, MD, Rear Adm (ret) WHEN SHE WAS CONFIRMED AS THE NEW CDC DIRECTOR — THE “QUEEN OF VACCINES.” THE “ENFORCER” OF THE PENTAGON’S COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “VACCINE” MANDATE ON THE U.S.MILITARY.
YOURS TRULY WARNED THIS BOARD ABOUT HOW HHS SEC. KENNEDY, JR., WAS BEING HOBBLED AND IS ESSENTIALLY USELESS.
Refusing to testify without a valid legal basis is itself the offense. Under 2 U.S.C. § 192, willfully failing to appear after a valid congressional subpoena, or refusing to answer pertinent questions once there, is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine.
The CRS puts it plainly: a subpoena recipient “has a legal obligation to comply, absent a valid and overriding privilege or other legal justification.” So the legal basis is the only shield. If an official can’t point to one — the Fifth Amendment, executive privilege, a recognized separation-of-powers conflict (e.g., the Secretary of State appearing at a major diplomatic event), attorney-client privilege, etc. — the refusal is contempt.
In practice, Congress has several enforcement levers when an official refuses without a valid basis:
She is also military so indictment would be via a military tribunal avoiding the Woke judges & juries of DC. It also allows RICO as she CONTINUES her pushing of the Clot Shots. (The five year window for the military is fast closing.)

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

Part of the Transcript:
16:37
The reason you always felt out of step with the system is because the system was designed to produce the opposite of you.It produces people who follow the process perfectly right up until reality changes and then they freeze. You’ve seen it in hiring. The candidate with the perfect resume who can’t answer a simple what-if question in the interview. You’ve seen it in leadership. The director who can quote the strategy deck word for word but goes blank when a client throws a curveball.
The system trained them to memorize the runway, not to fly the plane.
Feynman left behind the method the system tried to bury.
— 12 problems always alive.
— Strip every claim down to what you can check.
— Estimate before you calculate.
— Test your understanding by rephrasing the question.
— If you can’t answer it in different words, you never understood it in the first place.
That’s it. That’s what they removed. And now you have it back.
But Feynman’s war on the textbooks exposed something bigger than bad education. He found the same pattern in science, in hiring, in way entire industries collapse when nobody inside them can think from scratch. And when he called it out by name, in front of the most powerful people in the room, they didn’t thank him. [Managed decline anyone? -GC]
The Deal That Reshaped the Market: Maxwell Buys Macmillan and Joins McGraw‑Hill
Robert Maxwell purchased Macmillan Inc. in the late 1980s, a transaction that positioned him as owner of one of the United States’ largest textbook publishers at the time; reporting from the period documents the acquisition and the creation of a joint venture combining Macmillan’s school publishing units with McGraw‑Hill’s to form Macmillan/McGraw‑Hill School Publishing Co. in 1989, a company that became the second‑largest U.S. textbook publisher [1][2]. The joint venture pooled Macmillan imprints like Glencoe and units such as Science Research Associates (SRA) into a single school publishing operation, reflecting Maxwell’s strategy of consolidating academic and educational assets under his Maxwell Communication Corporation umbrella, and contemporary sources note that McGraw‑Hill assumed sole ownership of the joint operation by 1993 after Maxwell’s death, indicating the Maxwell family no longer retained operational control

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

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

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

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

I thought I would continue the look at supplements since many are compounds necessary for good heart health, brain function and a healthy immune system. I have increasingly noticed more and more ‘mis-information’ designed to prevent people, especially older people or those vaccine injured, from obtaining the best health they can. Also, as I found out the hard way, Google Advanced has now removed the ability to search a URL (blog) for a key phrase so you can find old comments. Therefore I am trying to put important info from the comments into articles so it can be found later. (Sorry if I do not do a H/T to everyone, though I do try.)

Nattokinase
I stumbled across this video and decided to take a look. I did not bother to actually watch it and instead looked at the comments first before I decided whether or not to take the time.
I take NOW Foods (100 mg/ ~2000FU) nattokinase. Thanks to the comments I now know that is way too little to make a difference. The Ultra Spike Detox that I have suggests a serving size of 400 mg and a serving is 4 capsules or approximately 8000FU. This would be on the bare minimum side of the effective dose.
Video: I Stopped Using Nattokinase. Here’s Why.
A couple of the comments that made me decide to write this article.
Saying that 2000 FU of nattokinaise doesn’t work is like saying aspirin doesn’t work for a headache because the people who took half a tablet didn’t get relief. You ignored the study that compares 10,800 FU with 3600 FU. The people who took 3600 FU saw no improvement. The people who took 10,800 FU did see improvement. No wonder the studies with 2000 FU didn’t see any difference! It would be interesting to see you and Dr. Ford Brewer, who taught preventative medicine at Hopkins and is licensed in all 50 states, arm wrestle over this topic. He uses natto and sees plaque REVERSAL, which many doctors say is impossible.
I watched this all the way, I was patient to see the point you wanted to make, and I struggled. A the end of the day, this was a lot of baseless fear mongering about Nattokinase imho. Fundamentally, Natto is food, the safety profile based on ingestion by those who have been eating it for like forever is considerable. This population are also some of the most long lived in the world.
You can’t use 1 data point (Susan) to calibrate studies and or any nutraceutical. I sincerely wish MDs would talk about drugs i.e. pharmaceuticals for which they received training and not nutraceuticals. Natural substances are “smart”, they are able to detect what the issue is and “act” appropriately i.e. if your blood viscosity does not need thinning, most natural substances would go about “doing other things” and not continue to thin your blood. Drugs are manufactured to do one specific thing and are usually blind to other things hence the myriad of negative side effects. The reality is most of the people who take Nattokinase have already given up on allopathic medicine. They will definitely hedge their bets on Nattokinase and other nutraceuticals irrespective of what MDs like yourself think or say.
So much for watching that video!
Now a quick look at the Wellness Company’s “Ultimate Spike Detox” [Take 4 a day = serving]
Per Serving:
Selenium — 75 mg
Tumeric Root extract –500 mg
Bromelian — 500 mg
Natto Seed Extract 400 mg or (Nattokinase — 8,000 FU)
Black Cumin Seed Powder — 100 mg
Dandelion Root — 50 mg
Black Pepper [makes body absorb turmeric better] 5 mg.
Nigella sativa – Wiki: “Nigellasativa (common names, black caraway, blackcumin, nigella, charnushka, or kalonji) “
You can get Black Seed Oil from Walmart. (I think it was Singing Soul who suggested it) I take it some times and it seems to help my mobility.
Brave AI
Black seed oil, derived fromNigella sativa seeds and rich in the active compound thymoquinone, is widely used to support immune function, reduce inflammation, and improve skin health.
Since ancient times, black seed, orNigella sativa, has gained popularity in modern industry and health due to its numerous nutritional and therapeutic applications. Detailed coverage of the botanical description, taxonomy, and phytochemical composition can be seen in this review about the most crucial bioactive compounds, such as thymoquinone, alkaloids, saponins, and fixed oils. This therapeutic plant has undergone numerous studies about its solicitations in treating cancer, its protective effects on the heart, and its antiviral, antibacterial, anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties. Side by side with its function in conventional medical practices of Ayurveda and Unani, its amalgamation is also specified in the review. This also takes into account the health benefits of black seed, its metabolism, macro‐ and micronutrient composition, and other nutritional considerations. The usages discover the product development potentials within the pharmaceutical and food industries, such as functional foods, health supplements, and cosmetics. Customer attention in natural products has made novel prospects, but side by side with them, there are different concerns about stability, bioavailability, and regulatory problems. To augment the medicinal and economic value ofN. sativa, there is potential for its genetic development, for more progressive cultivation methods, and for biotechnological policies. Thus, the incorporation of N. sativainto current healthcare and industry comprises creative, multidisciplinary investigation.
10,800 FU of nattokinase is approximately equivalent to 540 mg of the enzyme.
This conversion is based on the standard ratio where 2,000 FU corresponds to roughly 100 mg. Therefore, a 10,800 FU dose represents the higher end of clinical study ranges, often used in observational research for atherosclerosis and lipid management, whereas the standard daily dose for general cardiovascular support is typically 2,000 FU (approx. 100 mg).
Market standard: 2,000 FU (5.4x below clinical dose)
3,600 FU/day was tested and found ineffective for lipids and atherosclerotic plaque support
Minimum threshold for modest blood pressure support: 2,000 FU/day
Getting the nattokinase dosage right is the single biggest factor in whether supplementation delivers real results. If you’ve been researching nattokinase, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating: every product seems to list a different dose, and none of them explain why they chose that number…
I discussed this with a researcher in the US who collaborates with Resia who said to titrate up to 4000 FU 2x per day. You can also look up some articles from long COVID PharmDwhose written a lot about nattokinase
She cites a paper that showed safety at 10k+ FU but she suggests 4K twice a day.
Neprinol is 15,000 fus a pill of natto and serra so not sure which fu number is for which enzyme which but they recommend up to 9 pills a day and one to 3 as a starter dose. 9 pills : That’s 135k fus. This stuff won’t kill you it’ll just make you feel like your dying for a few weeks when it’s working. and then it gets better from there on out. I hope. I’m 1.5 weeks in and praying the fates finally cut my life web fully. These clots are no effing joke . Killing them off is hell too. Start low and slow and go up from there and good luck

The ONE Supplement Every Senior Should Take — Co-Q-10 (9 minutes)
First, there is a supplement I always take for cardiovascular health that he [Dr. Ford Brewer ] doesn’t mention. That is hawthorn berry. That is the best herbal I know for general heart health:
Hawthorn berry is a small fruit rich in plant antioxidants that supports heart health, lowers blood pressure, improves blood fats, and helps digestion. [1, 2, 3] Heart and Circulation
Lowers blood pressure: Relaxes blood vessels to improve blood flow.
Aids heart function: May reduce symptoms in people with mild heart failure.
Improves cholesterol: Helps lower bad LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. [1, 2, 3]
Body Wellness
Fights cell damage: High in polyphenols that neutralize harmful free radicals.
Aids digestion: Acts as a prebiotic fiber to support healthy gut bacteria.
Reduces inflammation: Protects organs from oxidative stress.
All learned using alterai.systems to find the sources for this information.
I would take the leaves, flowers/fruit and a branch to the local extension service for a positive ID if you find what you think is a wild tree and would like to use the berries.
This article contains a list of references at the bottom.
…Modified food starch is a common ingredient in processed foods, but concerns about its use have grown due to its potential effects on digestion, metabolic health, and overall food quality.
Here are five reasons you should consider removing modified food starch from your diet.
— Lacks nutrients…
— Linked to metabolic imbalances… may increase the risk of metabolic imbalances, including insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
— Genetically modified..
— Disrupts microbial gut balance ..
— May be contaminated with chemicals

7 Supplements Every Senior Must Take (Inflammation, Weak Legs, Blood Sugar & More)
I have tried to tighten up the transcript so you get the meat without the fluffy vignettes about fictitious people. The transcript is in italics, my comments & additions are separated out using dots.
Nine out of 10 people don’t get enough of the nutrients that their bodies need. But the good news is the right supplements can help correct these nutrient deficiencies…
….
Supplement number one — CoQ10 ( 1 to 200 milligrams per day)
Comparison of CoQ10 and CoQH2 by application. Results are demonstrated as %. Cardiovascular diseases are marked in red. LINK
…..
…..David is 72… he had a mild heart attack. He would get tired just a few minutes into his walk and
that didn’t used to happen. He needed muscular work. He needed some HIT [high intensity] training.. But we also recommended something else… Several clinical studies have shown this supplement reduces fatigue compared to placebo and it could have significant effects in reducing cardiovascular risk even in people with heart failure. There’s also evidence that shows it can reduce muscle aches when you’re taking statins…. Some people experience mild side effects like nausea, even insomnia or upset stomach, especially at higher doses or when you first start taking it or if you take it later in the day. Now, ..The supplement.. was co-enzyme Q10, better known as CoQ10.
I usually recommend taking 1 to 200 milligrams per day. If you’ve heard about Ubiquinol being more bioavailable, you can take more or you can take Ubiquinol. [A comment said it Ubiquinol is more sensitive to degradating in light.]
Our findings go along with the biochemical description of CoQ10 and CoQH2, recording cardiovascular benefits for CoQ10 and antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties for CoQH2. Our main outcomes are the following: (I) CoQ10 supplementation reduced cardiovascular death in patients with heart failure. This is not reported for CoQH2. (II) Test concentrations leading to cardiovascular benefits are much lower in CoQ10 studies than in CoQH2 studies. (III) Positive long-term effects reducing cardiovascular mortality are only observed in CoQ10 studies…
Coenzyme Q10 is a redox molecule occurring in the human body in 2 bioactive states, ubiquinone (CoQ10) as oxidised state and ubiquinol (CoQH2) as reduced state [5]. Both redox forms of Coenzyme Q10 are bioactive and important for human health [6]. CoQ10 is essential for cellular adenosine phosphate (ATP) energy production [7] as it shuttles electrons from complexes I and II to complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (Fig. 1). CoQH2 is an important lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing peroxidation of the low-density lipoproteins in the blood circulation [8] with additional anti-inflammatory activity [9]…
Function of CoQ10 in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. CoQ10 is an essential transfer molecule for complex I and complex II at the beginning of the respiratory chain.

Energy loss is one kind of aging, but some changes are quieter, the kind you don’t feel until the damage is done. Inflammation plays a major role in heart disease, cognitive decline, and even mood.
So, we’ll look at a nutrient that helps put out those fires before they spread.
Supplement number two — omega-3 (1 to 4 grams)
Inflammation builds slowly deep in the body without pain, without any warning… now it’s considered one of the driving forces behind nearly every chronic disease we associate with aging. So, if there was a way to reduce that inflammation before it causes damage, it would be worth paying attention to… a specific supplement that could possibly help… support heart health and brain function and has been studied extensively in older adults. The supplement helps [people] get essential fatty acids, the kind the body can’t make on its own. These fatty acids or fats are found in cell membranes, and they play a role in everything from cardiovascular function to immune response. But what they’re best known for is their ability to reduce inflammation, especially the kind you don’t feel until it becomes a problem. In particular, those fatty acids help lower triglycerides. Several studies show a clear reduction in triglyceride levels among adults who supplement consistently. There’s also evidence that they may help stabilize mood, support memory by promoting healthy brain cell structures, and by reducing neuron-inflammation… Neuro means brain, and inflammation, you know what that means. So, it’s inflammation of the brain. Age- related cognitive decline doesn’t usually happen all at once. It’s gradual. So, having a way to protect brain health while also supporting the heart makes this nutrient uniquely valuable… Like any supplement, it comes with a few cautions. These fatty acids can thin blood slightly, which may increase bleeding risk, especially for people already taking anti-coagulants. High doses can also lead to digestive issues like nausea or loose stools. That’s why dose and quantity matter and quality. The supplement [is] omega-3, especially EPA and DHA. The two active forms are the EPA and DHA. They’re found in fatty fish like salmon and sardines. These are different from the short- chain versions found in plants which aren’t as readily converted by the body…
I recommend 1 to four grams every day. Take the lower end of that dosage if you have atrial fib or if you have you have concerns with episodes of atrial fi atrial fibrillation. I have atrial fib and I take omega-3s. All right.
Let’s turn to the root cause of most chronic problems, metabolism. Because when that starts to slow down or change, the effects show up in your blood sugar, your weight, your long-term risk for chronic disease, your arteries, plaque, cardiovascular risk, and Alzheimer’s risk.
Although the efficacy of standard fish oil has been the subject of research in arthritis, the effect of krill oil in this disease has yet to be investigated. The objective of the present study was to evaluate a standardised preparation of krill oil and fish oil in an animal model for arthritis..
Results
Consumption of krill oil and supplemented diet significantly reduced the arthritis scores and hind paw swelling when compared to a control diet not supplemented with EPA and DHA. However, the arthritis score during the late phase of the study was only significantly reduced after krill oil administration. Furthermore, mice fed the krill oil diet demonstrated lower infiltration of inflammatory cells into the joint and synovial layer hyperplasia, when compared to control. Inclusion of fish oil and krill oil in the diets led to a significant reduction in hyperplasia and total histology score. Krill oil did not modulate the levels of serum cytokines whereas consumption of fish oil increased the levels of IL-1α and IL-13.
Conclusions
The study suggests that krill oil may be a useful intervention strategy against the clinical and histopathological signs of inflammatory arthritis.
….
Supplement number three -– Berberine (500 milligrams once or twice a day)
Metabolism is one of the first systems to slow down with your age. You might notice it in your weight, your digestion, or how your body responds to meals. You first start losing your ability to metabolize carbs when you eat them. That raises your insulin. Your higher insulin changes your ability to burn fat.So what started out as a problem with one fuel quickly turns into a problem metabolizing both fuels. Often the earliest signs show up in your blood work. blood sugar begins to creep up, A1C rises, doctors use words like borderline or pre-diabetic or you got a touch of sugar. Then they usually follow it with advice to eat a little bit less and walk a little bit more. And that’s just incomplete advice.
…We recommended a specific supplement. It comes from several different plants, and it’s been used in traditional medicine for centuries. particularly in parts of Asia. But what’s unique about it is how it affects cellular metabolism. It helps activate an enzyme called, again, geek alert, AMK, what the geeks call a phosphocinase. It’s critical to energy metabolism. Sometimes it’s described as the body’s metabolic switch, which plays a key role in how cells use energy, store fat, and manage blood sugar. Evidence backs this up. Several trials have shown that it can lower fasting glucose, improve insulin response, and reduce A1C over time. In some head-to-head comparisons, it’s even shown similar effects to metformin, one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for type 2 diabetes.
But its benefits don’t stop at blood sugar. There’s evidence that it may also support gut health by positively influencing the microbiome. Some studies have found improvements in cholesterol levels, particularly LDL, and triglycerides. The results can vary based on the individual and your metabolism.The supplement[is]berberine, a yellow plant compound with a long history and a growing body of modern research behind it. While it’s generally well tolerated, berberine isn’t free of risks. It can cause digestive issues like cramping, constipation, diarrhea, especially in high doses or on an empty stomach. It may also lower blood sugar more than expected, especially when combined with diabetes medications like metformin, which is why monitoring this supplement is important, especially at the start.
I recommend taking 500 milligrams once or twice a day, although there are some people that can benefit from taking twice that amount. I usually split it into two or three servings with meals. Taking smaller amounts more often can help reduce the risk of side effects and support better absorption.
This article provides an overview of berberine, including its potential mechanisms of action, possible health benefits, potential side effects, and considerations for its use. [Good article – GC]
….
Supplement number four — Magnesium (200 to 400 milligrams per day)
Now that we’ve looked at metabolism, let’s go deeper into a different kind of system slowdown. The kind that you feel in your muscles, your recovery, and your physical strength. As you age, your legs cramp at night. Small aches linger longer than they used to, and they can get you to feeling restless, anxious, tense. These issues often come and go, so they’re easy to dismiss. It happens for a few minutes, and then it’s gone, and you forget about it. But for many people, they’re signs of a quiet deficiency. We identified something that over half of people deal with. It’s a specific mineral deficiency. The supplement we recommended is involved in more than 300 enzyme reactions in the body. It helps regulate nerve signals, muscle contractions, heartbeat, and glucose metabolism. Perhaps more important, it also helps regulate melatonin and GABA. G- A B A. These are two key drivers of healthy sleep and stress management. Several studies show that restoring normal levels can improve sleep quality, can help support healthy blood pressure in people with mild high blood pressure problems. The supplement [is] magnesium.
While generally safe and well tolerated, magnesium can cause side effects if taken in large doses, especially in forms that are less easily absorbed. These may include diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal discomfort. [It is used to clean you out before a Colonoscopy. -GC] Most people take between 200 and 400 milligrams per day, often in the evening, due to its calming effect. Certain forms like magnesium glycinate or citrate are better absorbed and gentler on the stomach compared to cheaper forms like magnesium oxide. So, as usual, and is is often the case especially with supplements, you get what you pay for.
Now, for people looking to support cognitive function, Magnesium-Threonate is worth considering. It’s a form that’s been shown to cross the blood- brain barrier and may support working memory, focus, and age related brain health. It’s usually more expensive, but some find the cognitive benefits are worth the investment. And it’s not just cognitive benefits. It is mood as well. It’s a big mental health improvement. With depression and its twin brother or kid brother anxiety, magnesium helps. But again, you got to get that magnesium across the blood-brain barrier. And that’s what magnesium thteonate has demonstrated it can do. Timing and consistency matter. The benefits build gradually, not overnight.
Now, we’re going to shift. We’re going to talk about something that ties it all together. A nutrient that protects strength, focus, and resilience in both the body and the brain.
Supplement number five — creatine (3 to 5 grams per day.)
….we ask for a test that helps us assess muscle and fat. It’s called a DEXA scan, a DEXA metabolic scan to tell us about muscle and fat. [Sometimes] the results suggest [we are] dealing with sarcopenia. Sarco is a Greek word that means flesh or muscle and pineia is also a Greek word that means lack of. So basically sarcopenia is lack of muscle or weak muscles. [Many people have] heard of resistance training and protein intake and high intensity interval training, but most don’t expect the next recommendation. A supplement, a specific supplement that is best known for supporting muscle growth in athletes, but research has shown it can keep older adults strong. Help them retain their strength, maintain independence, and even support cognitive function. This compound is stored in your muscles, and it’s used during short bursts of activity. It’s also used during long, slow activity, too. It helps recycle energy so your muscles can contract and recover more efficiently. Again, back to the geeks and nerds. That ATP when it drops off a phosphorus group, guess where it’s dropping it off? To this supplement. In younger people, the body produces enough on its own for routine living. But with age, these reserves begin to shrink. Multiple clinical trials have shown that supplementing with this compound helps improve muscle mass and strength in older adults, even in those who don’t engage in heavy exercise. But using this supplement and heavy exercise is a great combination. It has been associated with better balance, lower risk of falls, and improved performance in daily activities like climbing stairs or even getting up from a chair. There’s also promising research connecting it to brain health. It plays a role in cellular energy in the brain and may help support memory, focus, and processing speed, especially under physical or cognitive stress. [Some people,] after a few months, [find their] balance was improved. The supplement he used [is] creatine. While generally safe, some people report a little bit of water retention, bloating, mild digestive discomfort when they’ve first began taking it, so give it some time. These effects usually fade with consistent use. I have a full video discussing creatine in more detail. The link is in the description and we’ll put it at the end as well. The typical doses for older adults is 3 to 5 grams per day. It doesn’t need to be cycled on and off like some people do. It can be taken with or without food. Some people choose to load with higher doses initially, but for most, a steady daily intake is a simple and effective way to do this kind of supplementation. A powdered form dissolved in water is the most common way of getting it.
Healthy muscles are more about strength than bulking up. Strong muscles, especially the ones in your legs, become your best safety valve against metabolic disease, insulin resistance. For pre-diabetes and diabetes. So taking care of those leg muscles is critical. There’s one specific vitamin we haven’t discussed yet and it becomes critical to the purposes of healthy aging and that’s coming right now.
Supplement number six. B12 (500 to a 1,000 micrograms )
… forgetting words, leaving sentences incomplete, misplacing things more often than in the past. Again, all of us have some of these things. The question is how often and how serious. ..starting feeling numbness in the fingers making it harder to handle small things like keys. [For these symptoms] I was worried about Alzheimer’s. We talk about the role of metabolic disease in Alzheimer’s and helped people clean up their lifestyle. Some of the key things lowering carbs, the glycemic carbs, improving muscle work like HIT training, strength training, resistance training. But sometimes, after running tests, we decide to try supplementing with a specific vitamin. The body needs very little of it, but it does need it consistently. And with age, it becomes harder and harder to absorb. [Over time even though the] diet has not changed, the ability to absorb the nutrient from food had declined slowly and silently. Often there is no clue until [people] start having symptoms in [their] hand and fingers. That’s when we began to notice it. Low levels of this vitamin are surprisingly common in older adults, especially those over 60 and even more so in those over 70. After cleaning up lifestyle and with the help of the supplement, within a month, the numbness in the fingers [should] start to fade a little bit. He was clear that he was getting better. And the vitamin, the supplement, B12, it’s water soluble.
It’s generally safe even at higher doses. But there is still a few things to know. In some people, especially those with a kidney disease or certain blood disorders, high dose B12 should be used carefully. Mild side effects like nausea, acne, or a slightly racing heart can occasionally occur, but they’re uncommon. The real concern is missing the deficiency entirely, or assuming the symptoms are just part of getting older. Most people take between 500 to a 1,000 micrograms every day. Some take it as part of a B complex, others as a standalone B12 supplement. I usually recommend a methylated B complex supplement, especially for those with methylation issues. And guess what? Over half of us have methylation issues. That’s a long topic…. Cognition is complex and no supplement fixes everything. But correcting a deficiency can made a real difference in how the brain and body feel.
….
[I use B-12 sublingual, under the tongue, for contact allergy relief. It works in about 10 minutes, going directly into the blood stream and by-passing the absorption issues. –GC]
….
Now, we’ll turn to the next and final supplement in this series. It’s one of the oldest healing agents in the world. Something found in nearly every kitchen. You’ve probably had it in yours, and it has surprising effects on blood sugar, on inflammation, and therefore on aging… Let’s talk about the final supplement.
Supplement number seven. — ceylon cinnamon ( 500 to 1,000 milligrams per day )
To me, metabolic disease, that is insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, diabetes are the real culprits of accelerated aging. Most people are not aware because 75% of doctors don’t know how to diagnose it. Over time, the body becomes less responsive to insulin and even a balanced meal can send glucose higher than it used to….
There’s a spice that has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce fasting blood sugar. It appears to work by slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach and enters the bloodstream. This reduces post meal spikes. Some studies have also found improvements in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Though the results aren’t always consistent and appear to be variable by person. What stands out here is that it appears to mimic part of insulin’s action, helping the body process glucose more efficiently. For people with insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, that kind of support can help the body regain balance before things progress further, and it might just be what your body needs. A little bit of a slowdown in that sugar hitting your bloodstream. ..Within a few weeks, you may notice the post meal energy crashes have stopped. He described it as feeling less up and down and more stable throughout the day… And while that one supplement isn’t a solution to all of the problems on its own, it can be a meaningful positive step, a step in the right direction.
We’re talking about cinnamon, specificallyceylon cinnamon and not the more common cassia variety.Ceylon has much lower levels of a compound called coumarin.LINKCoumarin can be harmful in high doses over time, that’s why you want theceylon cinnamon. That’s why source and quality matter here more than most people realize. While cinnamon is generally safe, it can lower blood sugar more than expected if combined with diabetes medications. So anyone already on treatment should be careful.
Anytime you add berberine or cinnamon or anything else that can impact blood sugar and you’re already taking metformin, just be careful when you start taking it. It can also cause mild digestive upset in some people, especially if taken in high doses or on an empty stomach. Most people take between 500 and 1,000 milligrams per day, a half a gram to a gram in a standardized extract, not the spice that comes out of the spice cabinet. It’s often divided with meals. The powdered form used in cooking isn’t concentrated enough to have a therapeutic effect unless taken in very, very large amounts, which I don’t recommend. Look for supplements that clearly stateceyloncinnamon and list the extract strength.
[People can make]huge progress,bycombined the cinnamon with the most important lifestyle strategies.[Reduce]carb intake, especially the glycemic carbs that changed blood sugar levels.Getthe right amount of calories.Started exercising., improved strength.Doresistance training, the high-intensity interval training. All of those things together[can make]a big big change. So, now that you know the the seven supplements I recommend, especially for s seniors, there’s something else to think about. It’s just as important, in fact, in some ways more important. That’s knowing which supplements to avoid. Take a look at the worst supplements most seniors think are healthy….[Link to another video]
1. Calcium: When taken as a supplement, it can build up in arteries instead of bones, increasing the risk of vascular calcification and heart attacks. It’s better to get calcium from food sources.
2. Fat Burners: These are often loaded with stimulants that can dangerously raise heart rate and blood pressure, increasing the risk of palpitations and even stroke.
3. Meal Replacement Shakes: These highly processed formulas have been linked to liver injury and can cause systemic inflammation. Prioritizing whole, real foods is a safer alternative.
4. Iron: Unnecessary supplementation can lead to an iron overload, which acts as a pro-oxidant, damaging arteries and increasing the risk of plaque buildup. Iron should only be taken if a deficiency is confirmed by a doctor.
5. Supplements with Heavy Metals: Many supplements, especially plant-based powders, can be contaminated with heavy metals like lead and mercury. These toxins can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease. It’s crucial to choose products that are third-party tested for purity.

The Alpha-Gal Switcheroo – Is Bill Gates Using “Boxes of Ticks” Misdirection to Protect Vaccines?
Let’s do an experiment. Answer this question.
If you realized that – because you were getting vaccines – there was an increasing and dose-related chance you would become allergic to beef, and would have to stop eating beef – would you keep getting vaccines?
THAT is the question of the century. And it is a question nobody in Big Harma wants you to ask.
Stop for a moment to think about your answer, because IMO this question is NOT merely rhetorical. IMO, it’s REAL.
Speaking for myself, I’m not taking one more vaccine until I am shown the BOX it comes in, and then given WEEKS to research what is in that vaccine. Most vaccines will fail my standards, for one reason or another, and there are many good reasons. The exception might be a non-mRNA rabies vaccine after just being bitten by a bat, but otherwise, yeah. I am going to be a VERY difficult sell on any vaccine. You see, I read a very interesting scientific paper. You need to read it, too.
But before I tell you about it, I want to teach you about how I believe misdirection prejudiced me into believing an inferior scientific theory FIRST.
How the Scam Works
Magic – scams – con artist games – dirty FIB political manipulations – they almost all work by misdirection.
So how does that play out here? This is hypothetical, but tell me this doesn’t make all kinds of sense.
Bill Gates is deep in the weeds, controlling vaccines world-wide, for some reason (let’s not get into that now)
people have to want to take vaccines, because if they don’t (“hesitancy”), vaccines have no power to do whatever it is that they’re capable of doing (which includes literally remaking humanity)
suppose that vaccines start causing a problem
suppose that ticks also cause the same problem
suppose that pockets within vaccine science become aware that injection itself is and always has been a problematic methodology, due to side effects, including unwanted immune responses, off-target antibodies, etc.
well, if ticks alone can be blamed by those scientists, then vaccination and other injections can get off scot-free
even better, a vaccine for the “tick disease” can be turned into a hero, and any problems with THAT vaccine can then be blamed on ticks
note how COVID vaccine problems were blamed on the virus and “super-spreaders” who allegedly spread the virus right after the vaccine was given in nursing homes – same principle – misdirection
In the PAST – when I believed in an INFERIOR scientific theory – it was the “ticks alone can be blamed” part.
NOW – I believe the SUPERIOR and MORE GENERAL theory that injection itself can be, and often is, problematic. I am now a WISE GUY, who knows the same stuff as the people who wanted to blame everything on ticks.
It’s an AWESOME SCAM. Absolutely brilliant. But, in the words of every AI slop video….. IT’S OVER.
How I got from the bad theory to the good theory is next.
The Idea That Changed Everything and Opened My Third Eye to the Scams
I had heard of this “alpha gal allergy” that was spread by ticks – and I believed it all. It sounded a bit strange, but many parasitic and parasite-borne diseases (or in this case, really a “disorder”) are strange.
The fact that we had never experienced this condition before, but now it was going like gangbusters – well, that’s suspicious, too, but not unprecedented. I was willing to accept it.
The fact that Bill Gates was involved with it – sad, maybe outrageous, but typical. The man has a nose for BAD THINGS. Malaria, mosquitoes, failing vaccines. Its like he has an injection fetish. Ticks fit right into it. Not unbelievable, either.
And then I got an email for a substack article. Shown here as a tweet.
BREAKING: FIRST-EVER STUDY LINKS VACCINES TO THE 10,000% RISE IN ALPHA-GAL SYNDROME
We found more than 90% of U.S. children are injected with ~54 mg of alpha-gal-bearing mammalian gelatin through routine childhood vaccines before school entry.
We found more than 90% of U.S. children are injected with ~54 mg of alpha-gal-bearing mammalian gelatin through routine childhood vaccines before school entry. The evidence points to two possible pathways: 1) DIRECT: Vaccines may DIRECTLY promote alpha-gal sensitization. 2) PRIME-BOOST: Vaccines may PRIME the immune system, so a later tick bite BOOSTS the response to clinically relevant alpha-gal IgE levels. Yet the most obvious experiment has NEVER BEEN DONE: Measure alpha-gal antibodies BEFORE AND AFTER vaccination. This could help explain why suspected Alpha-Gal Syndrome has exploded by nearly 10,000% since 2013, while only a fraction of people bitten by ticks ever develop the condition. Alpha-Gal Syndrome has been known for 18 YEARS, yet no scientific paper bothered to investigate whether alpha-gal containing vaccines could be contributing. With 104 references, our study is one of the most comprehensive papers on Alpha-Gal Syndrome to date, covering its explosive rise, tick biology, vaccine exposures, immune mechanisms, genetic susceptibility, prevention, and treatments. This major McCullough Foundation–The Wellness Company collaboration brings together researchers across epidemiology, medicine, immunology, and public health to confront one of the biggest unanswered questions in Alpha-Gal Syndrome.
Figure 1. Rising incidence of suspected alpha-gal syndrome in the United States, 2013-2024. Incidence of alpha-gal-specific IgE seropositivity among adults tested within the TriNetX US Collaborative Network, rising from 0.95 per 100 patient-years in 2013-2014 to 94.06 in 2023-2024. Redrawn from data reported by Rama et al.12 The event was defined by a positive alpha-gal IgE result without a requirement for documented symptoms; such patients meet the standard surveillance definition of a suspected rather than a confirmed case. Rates are calculated among persons who underwent testing and therefore reflect clinical recognition and testing practice as well as any true change in occurrence.Figure 3. Two proposed pathways by which vaccine-derived alpha-gal could contribute to alpha-gal sensitization. Neither pathway is demonstrated, and the two are not mutually exclusive. Pathway 1, direct induction. Historical aluminum-adjuvanted DTP and DTaP preparations delivered gelatin-borne alpha-gal parenterally. Dendritic cells take up the epitope in an aluminum-conditioned, Th2-biased environment, and alpha- gal-specific memory B cells undergo IL-4-dependent sequential class switching to IgE without tick involvement. The pathway is depicted for historical formulations because every gelatin-containing vaccine in current United States use is unadjuvanted. Pathway 2, priming followed by tick-bite boosting. Gelatin in live viral vaccines such as measles-mumps-rubella and varicella carries alpha-gal and expands the alpha-gal-specific memory pool, with or without detectable circulating IgE. A subsequent lone star tick bite delivers alpha-gal on a salivary glycoprotein carrier with intrinsic adjuvant activity, boosting a recall response to clinically relevant titers. Amblyomma americanum is depicted as the dominant vector, although other tick species have been implicated. Convergence. In both pathways, alpha-gal-specific IgE bound to mast cells and basophils through the high-affinity IgE receptor FcεRI mediates the delayed reaction occurring 3 to 6 hours after ingestion of mammalian meat that defines clinical alpha-gal syndrome. Because all humans carry non-allergic anti-gal IgG and IgM, neither pathway requires primary priming against a novel epitope; the required event is redirection of an existing response toward the IgE isoty
This new thinking makes incredible sense to me.
Tick bites are common, but they’re small, and neither leave much nor take much. The tiny payload makes sense for communicable diseases, which require only a tiny amount of biological material to cause a huge problem, but for allergies, the larger assault of vaccines just makes more sense than a tick bite.
The recent appearance of the disease – also neatly explained by vaccines. NOT well explained by ticks.
No – in my mind, vaccines need to share EQUAL HYPOTHETICAL LIABILITY with ticks – and IMO it’s actually more likely to be vaccines that are ultimately responsible.
Again, I urge you to look at the paper, and maybe download it.
That post mentions SIX other posts, all of which cover what appear to be various wicked machinations by Billy Ghoul Gates of Hell (as some call him).
But my big question is THIS.
Has Bill Gates gone too far this time? Has he actually entered FRAUD territory? Has he even done something comparable to the SPLC supporting Nazis with donor money, as a way to stir up useful trouble to make MORE donor money?
Think about it. What if vaccines, in general, have an “off-target immunity problem” that can stem from the immunogen, the adjuvant, or BOTH. If so, misdirecting the public – and science – away from this alpha-gal story THROUGH Gates’ own enemies, would be a very smart move. Actually a diabolical move, but still. Very smart.
But is it legal? I don’t know the answer to that. Maybe DOJ does. At the very least, it’s reprehensible, IMO.
Let me put it this way. I don’t think these “Bill Gates is shipping boxes of ticks” stories are real. I certainly don’t think they’re organic. They’re obviously phony – but I think they’re phony with a purpose. A purpose that seems to help GATES and not US.
Is Gates behind those stories? Is there a money trail, like with SPLC?
I think these tick stories are a psy-op that is designed to gets blamed on the “anti-vax” and “anti-Gates” crowd – to sap the credibility of Gates’ enemies. At the same time, I think this psy-op is designed to mislead people – AWAY from vaccines – which Bill Gates is defending with all his might – and TOWARDS ticks – which Gates really doesn’t care about.
It’s not ticks. It’s vaccines. I’m convinced – at least right now – that they’re a better answer than ticks, on the question of alpha-gal syndrome. And it could even be that Bill Gates is defrauding all of us by blaming a vaccine problem on something else, and making his enemies be the mouthpiece for the phony alibi.
Bill Gates is innocent until proven guilty – just like SPLC. But I think somebody needs to look at this whole thing, and see if Gates has gone beyond just propping up bad science hit pieces like Lancetgate for corporate profits, which is perfectly legal, and has actually done any other things to defraud government, investors, and others – which are not legal. “Boxes of ticks” stories may be legal – but who knows? Maybe the people prosecuting SPLC would know.
As I said, things may get rough around here. Stay frosty. We’re up against the BIG-TIME trouble now.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar
Our beloved country is STILL under DIRECT THREATS by hostile forces – notably COMMUNISTS – and they’re HERE IN AMERICA.
Daily outrage and commie phuckery still abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Commies won’t win!
And we will keep saying COMMIES OUT until we get their FRAUD and INSANITY out of our country!
THE STUFF
Win the MAHA Front to Win the MAGA War
Recently, I had a bit of a revelation – followed by a much bigger one. The bigger revelation – the second one – is the title above. Specifically, it includes the MIDTERMS as a critical component.
We need to win on the MAHA front, to win the midterms. I’m not saying that MAHA is everything that wins the midterms. But I am saying that I believe MAHA victory is KEY to MAGA winning the midterms. And beyond.
Allow me to explain….
The First Revelation
At some point recently, I realized that the Democrats have seized on the idea of splitting MAHA against MAGA to weaken President Trump. They are seeking out natural contradictions between MAHA and MAGA, and looking for ways to turn the more liberal MAHA voters against President Trump.
scaring them on things like AI data centers
angering them on things like Epstein
disillusioning them on things like vaccines, RFKJ, etc.
playing to the racists and antisemites among them (this is orthogonal to MAHA, but is still depleting it)
And yet – ironically – we are making great strides on the MAHA front, if one simply looks at where we HAVE won battles. Yes, not everything is going our way RIGHT NOW, but seriously – we’re making a LOT of headway.
The Second Revelation
In my opinion, the Democrats and their allies in Big Harma, Bad Tech, and Cabal Finance, are barely hanging on in MAHA world – but they are using psy-ops and media mind control to convince us that we’re not winning. I’m not willing to go along with their bullshit.
In the last two or three years, I’ve stepped away from posting regularly about vaccines, medical technology, depop, and other MAHA topics, but I am being drawn back into the fight. Here is why.
We have had some great victories lately, from my scientific standpoint, but I feel that those victories are being underappreciated by MAHA. People are not seeing them. Each time, I realize just how “on the ropes” the Demmunists, the Faucists, the Weffen SS, and the Mandate Scumbags, really are.
I realize that if our side rallies around these MAHA victories, and push for more, we’re gonna CRUSH these criminals at the midterms.
I’m already seeing some recognition, on our side, of the “winnability” of this election by Trump and MAGA/MAHA in November. BUT – IMO – it’s not enough. It’s not as much as it should be.
Let’s just take a look at where things REALLY stand.
Fauci could have made a stand – but he didn’t. He pleaded the Fifth. This is a HUGE win for the forces of patients, real health, MAHA, and sanity.
Fauci’s top aide has pleaded guilty and is clearly cooperating with the DOJ on Fauci.
Fauci definitely committed federal money and ethics crimes, as called out by Josh Hawley in the Senate.
The mRNA flu vaccine is barely snaking by, and has demonstrated obviously and substantially lower safety than even the existing but still dubious traditional flu vaccines.
Even Grok admits that the mRNA flu vaccine is not a sound choice for vaccine-qualified patients in good health – and I believe that I can argue effectively that it’s not a good choice for MOST qualified but “should-be-contraindicated” patients.
CDC and FDA emails are TORCHING numerous villains of the Biden administration.
Top Slovakian academics were caught red-handed colluding with the mRNA vaccine industry to publish misleading science which knowingly minimized dangerous levels of DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines.
An impressive new theory liking alpha-gal syndrome to vaccines is not only fitting all the facts BETTER than pure tick-borne theories – it is explaining why Bill Gates doesn’t seem to mind those “boxes of ticks” accusations AT ALL. In fact – he may very well be BEHIND those misdirecting conspiracy theories.
The bottom line is that MAHA’s TRUTH-CENTERED SCIENCE is winning, and the MONEY SCIENCE that wants Trump gone yesterday is in big, big trouble. The other side is desperate, and doing desperate things.
And not only that – they are being swept away. We are changing the ecosystem.
I believe – strongly – that we can REFORM science in the next few years, if we (1) win the midterms, and (2) push to victory for MAHA during this election cycle.
But better still, I believe that if MAHA can WIN and SEE ITS OWN WINS during 2026, the winning of the midterms by MAGA is assured.

Thus, our task is to HELP MAHA WIN, and then to HELP MAHA SEE THE WINS.
I believe this site can be a VERY strong fighter in this cause.
There will be push-back – on many fronts. Some will be in this world. Some will be spiritual. We will contend with both. But we are positioned to help MAHA win, and MAHA’s win will insure that MAGA wins.
Please join me in this endeavor. Whether your support is spiritual, intellectual, moral or emotional, it is WELCOMED. Help to keep this site pure, God-loving, honest, friendly, welcoming, and free of unnecessary conflict (note that I did not say ALL conflict). Do what you think best – pitch in where you feel you can help.
There are 72 days until the election. Let’s make them count!

Is There Another Cell Nucleus Hall Pass in the New mRNA Flu Vaccine, mFlusiva?
Let’s start off with some history.
Are you aware of the fact that both the Moderna AND the Pfizer COVID vaccines contained a genetic sequence that acts like a “hall pass” or “VIP ticket”, allowing the holder to get into the nucleus of human cells?
Were it not for somebody dropping a link to an obscure paper in my Twitter timeline back in early 2023, I would have never realized how extra sketchy that made both the virus and the vaccines – and especially the latter, since it would have been theoretically possible to remove the nuclear hall pass from the spike protein used as the vaccine.
Let me repeat that. They left the “hall pass” in the mRNA code for the vaccine.
But – and I have to stress this – it was not just that this “hall pass” was there. No. It was much worse. The paper in question was experimental, and it showed that the viral spike protein not only contained the hall pass, but that it WORKED. The hall pass actually worked to get the spike protein into the nucleus. They even had PICTURES of it in the nucleus.
The hall pass not only got the spike protein into the nucleus – the spike protein THEN got the mRNA that coded for it into the nucleus, as well.
Yes. You are reading that correctly. The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 has a known sequence in it that ends up getting both IT and the mRNA that created it, into the cell nucleus.
One would THINK that this might be a big deal. Especially after we were REASSURED that NO, VIRGINIA – THE mRNA WILL NEVER, EVER GET INTO THE CELL NUCLEUS, YOU FOOLISH VACCINE SKEPTICS.
Are you seeing why this is kind of a big deal?
SO – NOW – my question about the new mRNA flu shot is similar.
I could ask whether the flu vaccine’s “spike protein” (it’s called a “hemagglutinin glycoprotein”) also has a hall pass that gets it into the cell nucleus. I could even ask if the influenza HA glycoprotein also “escorts” its own mRNA into the nucleus, as does the COVID spike protein.
However, that requires experimentation. I can’t do that work.
OK – can I just ask if the mRNA flu shots contain the hall pass into the nucleus?
Well, it turns out that you can ask, but there’s not necessarily an answer.
I could not find the answer, so I asked Grok.
And I asked Grok a slightly less pointed version of the question, since I am perfectly capable of checking for nuclear translocation sequences myself, so that Grok would not detect “conspiracy theory thinking” on my part, and thereby not consign my question to the “talk down to this human” conga line of incomplete answers.
Q: Is there a published mRNA sequence for the new mRNA flu vaccine, mFlusiva, from Moderna?
A: (from Grok)
No, there does not appear to be a publicly published full mRNA (nucleotide) sequence for Moderna’s mFlusiva (mRNA-1010).
mFlusiva is the FDA-approved (as of early August 2026) trivalent mRNA influenza vaccine for adults 50+ (traditional approval for ages 50–64; accelerated for 65+). Each 0.38 mL dose contains 37.5 µg total mRNA (12.5 µg each of three RNAs) encoding the full-length hemagglutinin (HA) glycoproteins of the season’s recommended strains (for the 2026–2027 formula: A/Missouri/11/2025 (H1N1)pdm09-like, A/Michigan/105/2025 [A/Darwin/1415/2025 (H3N2)-like], and B/Pennsylvania/19/2025 [B/Pennsylvania/14/2025-like]), formulated in lipid nanoparticles (SM-102, PEG2000-DMG, cholesterol, DSPC).
Public documents (prescribing information/DailyMed, FDA briefing documents and clinical review, Moderna product pages, and peer-reviewed trial publications) describe the composition, encoded antigens/strains, manufacturing process (in vitro transcription, no cells/eggs), and clinical data, but they do not disclose the actual nucleotide sequences of the mRNAs. These would include codon optimization, specific 5′/3′ UTRs, poly(A) tail, nucleoside modifications (typically N1-methylpseudouridine, as used in Moderna’s platform), and any stabilizing mutations (noted for the influenza B HA in non-surface-exposed regions).
The underlying viral HA amino-acid (or genomic) sequences of the recommended strains are publicly available via databases such as GISAID or NCBI, as with any seasonal flu vaccine components.
Moderna and related patents/publications disclose example or earlier-generation influenza mRNA constructs, sequences for other candidates, or general platform elements (e.g., UTRs used in some Moderna mRNAs), but not the proprietary, strain-updated commercial sequences for the approved mFlusiva product. patents.google.com
This is consistent with how proprietary vaccine sequences (including prior Moderna mRNA products) are typically handled—they are not routinely released in full in labeling or regulatory summaries.
In short, while the antigens, doses, and high-level design are public, the exact published mRNA sequence for mFlusiva is not available. Any claims of a full sequence circulating would need independent verification against primary sources.

First of all, just for the record, this is a great answer. Once again, thank you, Elon!
This situation seems a bit different from small-molecule drugs, where the exact molecules in the drug MUST be described in full, not only to the FDA, but to the public. Probably a feature that big pharma will eventually pay government to remove, but until then, something that certainly cramps their style.
Now, I was able to track things down a bit, and get CLOSE to the actual sequence for the vaccine, but I have been unable to find the exact sequence.

That is as far as I could go. Registry numbers and names. Trying to look up the CAS registry numbers failed.
CAS Common Chemistry covers – well – common chemicals, including some surprisingly unusual ones, but it clearly doesn’t cover everything. For a lot of molecules – ones that are not “public figures” – one has to get behind the paywall by buying a product like SciFinder.
For example, CAS Common Chemistry has a page for one of the allegedly inactive substances in the vaccine – tromethamine.
SIDEBAR: I’ll do a whole post about tromethamine later – it’s one of the best and most hilarious demonstrations of the (to borrow Scott’s verbiage) “weak, fake and gay” duplicity of the pharma-government-fincorp-media complex that I’ve ever seen. I’m personally glad they smartly added this compound to the clot shot, but to lie about why they did it – just so WEAK, FAKE AND GAY!
It is possible that the three names we retrieved above would allow trained biochemists to get very close to the actual sequences that were used, but in reality, to get the full, exact composition, including DNA contamination, we will almost certainly have to wait for independent researchers to analyze and sequence vials of the mFlusiva vaccine.
SO – in answer to the original question, we won’t truly know if there is either a public or secret access code to the cell nucleus in this vaccine, until somebody in free science actually analyzes the sequence of the vaccine, and somebody else actually checks and sees if the protein and/or the mRNA gets trafficked into the nucleus.
To borrow a saying from Nancy Pelosi, “We have to inject it, to find out what’s in it.”
Honestly, I think if Thomas Jefferson saw what patents have done to science, he would pull the whole idea up by the roots and figure out some other way to implement it. What that something else is, I don’t know. But what we have now is clearly problematic.

THE STUFF
Let’s Talk About Virus, Vaccine, and Protein Shedding
I have noticed something very interesting about the “shedding” phenomenon.
The “vaxxes can do no wrong” side doesn’t like to talk about shedding. They don’t bring shedding up, and they frequently change the subject when an argument about shedding gets started.
It’s easy to dismiss “shedding” as a conspiracy theory, but once one sees actual Pfizer documentation on the topic (link now dead, curiously), the reality of “shedding” in the vaccine world hits one square in the face. Media shills for vaccines may be crowing on TV that “shedding” is all a big lie, but when the vaccine manufacturer is testing the vaccine, suddenly it’s the greatest danger of the study, and test participants find themselves separated if not isolated from spouses, infants, relatives and friends. Yet another reason people cannot stand the lying fake news media.
The most disingenuous current deflection of the problem in vaccines, is that the FDA has a HUGE concern with the shedding of “gene therapy” products – which often use mRNA in lipid nanoparticles – but then says that it’s not a problem in mRNA vaccines because they’re not classified as gene therapy products. Robert Malone has always been highly critical of this teenager-level dodge of responsibility, and frankly I think anybody involved in that scandal needs to be fired from government and possibly prosecuted for fraud. It’s the same weak chutzpah as the 17-year-old murderer of his parents, demanding first leniency as an orphan, and then prosecution as a juvenile, when the initial lunacy doesn’t prevail.
I recall the first time I read documentation of how shedding of a vaccine was to be guarded against in a major vaccine clinical trial, by significant restrictions of the participants from close contact with other people during the observation period.
Shedding of a virus – why – that’s just DISEASE. Communicable disease. We are all familiar with THAT.
Well, vaccines can be a virus – including weakened and incompletely deactivated viruses. It can even be a normal but less pathogenic virus, like cowpox, used as a literal vaccine against a more dangerous virus like smallpox. A weak but “live” virus may be difficult to transmit, but in many cases, transmission is still possible.
Shedding of a virus per se is the most potentially dangerous form of shedding, but it’s also the most well-known, and the easiest to understand. A limited number of viral particles is all that is necessary to start a disease in a new host. Being a victim of viral shedding is literally catching a disease. This is reality – something that happens all the time with common colds and influenza-like diseases (ILIs). Catching a shed virus is vaccination against catching the exact same form again – but not against sufficiently mutated forms. We are familiar with THAT from COVID-19.
So when people catch a communicable viral disease, they catch a shed virus, start constructing the virus, and then shed the virus again. Simple, and very real. But the outcome of viral infection is very uncertain, and that unpredictability ends up being a liability of using sheddable viruses as vaccines.
There is a reason I’m harping on this form of shedding. One needs to keep shedding of vaccine in perspective with the more dangerous, more likely, and more consequential shedding of virus. If you suddenly experience symptoms of a disease, including symptoms of the protein produced by that disease, then it is far more likely that you are a victim of shedding of the actual virus, than shedding of the vaccine. This is a simple reality, which I believe has led many patriots, including Deplorable Patriot, astray, in losing focus on relative risks. It is important to keep ALL forms of shedding in mind.
Shedding of Proteins
At the other end of danger, is the shedding of viral proteins, but not the virus itself. Let’s consider that.
Viral proteins can’t reproduce, but they CAN show all the bad properties of other nasty, dangerous, pathogenic proteins.
For example, the spike proteins of corona viruses are notoriously pathogenic, and when they are administered to test animals in an aerosol, they create immediate pulmonary disease, and can even kill the test animals. Yes, it’s shocking.
Still not convinced that a small amount of “shed” protein can be dangerous? Let’s talk about snake venoms.
Snake venoms are mostly dangerous because of pathogenic proteins, and these proteins are often very similar to bacterial or viral proteins, or arthropod venoms, as well as powerful digestive enzymes.
The thing is – and you likely didn’t know this – venomous snakes “shed” not only their skin, but also their VENOM. That fact is why people who care for venomous reptiles need to wear gloves and respirators when they clean cages. Shake venom gets into the cage dust, and cleaning it out exposes workers to skin and respiratory dangers pretty much like test animals breathing corona virus spike proteins in an aerosol.
So, again, shedding of pathogenic proteins can be real.
The only questions are, what viral protein is it, how is one being exposed to it, and how much of it is one being exposed to.
I’ve discussed this in the past, when we talked about the possibility of shed spike protein having the potency to cause symptoms in a person being shed upon. You can refresh yourself with the discussion in the following post and other linked posts here.
How much exposure to pathogenic protein is allowable? That is a HUGE question – and between the extremes of total neglect and total fear, lies something called “exposure and immunity”. Including “natural immunity”. We’ll return to that topic later.
Shedding of Vaccines
In between the shedding of intact viruses, and the shedding of viral proteins, lies an intermediate possibility – the shedding of what in nature are called “virus-like particles”, or what in medicine are called “lipid nanoparticles”.
These are mRNA or DNA enclosed in something like a lipid nanoparticle, or the outer shell of a different virus.
These are, bluntly, mRNA vaccines.
In terms of both danger and safety, lipid nanoparticle vaccines are intermediate between live viral vaccines (always dangerous, IMO) and protein vaccines (least dangerous, IMO). Why is this? Well, bluntly, viruses propagate as a chain reaction, and have very little control over outcome. In contrast, a metered amount of a dead protein has great control over the outcome. mRNA vaccines are in between. They don’t reproduce, but they do create a greater but unpredictable amount of viral protein.
Pierre Kory has a very nice article about vaccine shedding, which I invite you to read.
By the time you finish that, you will understand that there is some need to address this issue now.
As a bit of an aside, you should note that Cory is AGAINST the use of nicotine patches for treatment of spike protein toxicosis, believing (as I do) that it probably has far more risks than benefits. This is highly relevant for DePat’s case.
Technical Approaches to Prevention of Shedding Injury
It is my belief that any good method to deal with both mRNA vaccine shedding and corresponding protein shedding should have the following characteristics.
Prevention is preferred to treatment
Treatment can be separate from prevention
Earlier is better for both prevention and treatment
Vaccine is more dangerous than protein, and is thus a priority
The final point needs some explanation.
While the protein can be dangerous at high enough levels, one of the greatest dangers of the vaccine is that it produces large quantities of the protein, and is thus automatically orders of magnitude more dangerous than the protein alone. This is not even considering the dangers of the mRNA technology itself.
Destroy the mRNA vaccine, and there is no protein made, nor any mRNA mechanism allowed to function badly.
Thus, targeting the shed vaccine FIRST makes sense.
THAT makes things easy, because the vaccine can be destroyed easily, provided that it has not yet entered the body.
The mRNA vaccines utilize lipid nanoparticles (a.k.a. liposomes) to enter cells. While these little particles are exceedingly dangerous at a cellular level, they have an intrinsic weakness – their easy destructibility by surfactants – meaning soaps and other cleaning agents.
I posed a research question to Grok, regarding this approach, and got a VERY satisfactory answer.
THE QUESTION
Grok, please give me a list of substances (ranging from specific chemical compounds to branded products) that are known to rapidly disrupt, break up, absorb, and/or inactivate liposomes, including liposomes that are referred to in the mainstream press as “lipid nanoparticles”. I am interested in both surface treatments (cleaning agents, topical medicines, skin washes, soaps, lotions, etc.) as well as things which can be taken internally (oral or injectable), as medicines, that are more specific for disrupting liposomes in the bloodstream, for example as an antidote to an inappropriately administered lipid nanoparticle vaccine, e.g., given mistakenly to an allergic patient.
THE ANSWER
BEGIN GROK
Surfactants/detergents (most effective and commonly documented disruptors of liposomes and lipid nanoparticles/LNPs), organic solvents, cyclodextrins, and certain other agents can solubilize or destabilize lipid bilayers. These work primarily by intercalating into the bilayer, extracting lipids/cholesterol, forming mixed micelles, or increasing permeability/leakage until the vesicle structure collapses. Effects are concentration-, composition-, and condition-dependent (lipid type, cholesterol content, PEG coating, temperature, pH, etc.). LNPs used in mRNA vaccines share similar phospholipid/cholesterol/PEG-lipid components and are susceptible in vitro to the same classes of agents. pubs.acs.org +2
There is no established, safe, specific medical antidote that rapidly and selectively disrupts circulating LNPs (e.g., after mistaken administration of an mRNA vaccine to an allergic patient). LNPs are designed to be temporary and are cleared primarily via the mononuclear phagocyte system (liver/spleen), with natural degradation of the lipids. Systemic attempts to force rapid disruption with the agents below would generally be highly toxic (hemolysis, cell membrane damage, organ injury) and are not clinically used or recommended for this purpose. Allergic/anaphylactic reactions are managed with standard emergency care (epinephrine, antihistamines, corticosteroids, supportive measures), not LNP disruption.
Surface treatments / topical / cleaning agentsThese are relevant for cleaning residues, skin washes, or external inactivation:
Anionic, nonionic, and other surfactants/detergents: Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS/SLS), Triton X-100, Tween 20 (polysorbate 20), Brij surfactants, Zwittergent 3-14, quaternary ammonium compounds, and commercial soaps/detergents containing these. They saturate bilayers then convert liposomes/LNPs into mixed micelles. Used in lab assays (e.g., RiboGreen for mRNA release from LNPs) and industrial cleaning of LNP residues. Alkaline formulated detergents (e.g., potassium hydroxide-based) are effective for equipment cleaning of LNP residues at elevated temperature/contact time. pharmtech.com +2
Bile salts (sodium cholate, deoxycholate, taurocholate, etc.): Strong solubilizers of phospholipid bilayers; well-studied for vesicle-to-micelle transitions. Present in some digestive/intestinal contexts and used experimentally.
Alcohols and organic solvents: Ethanol, isopropanol, methanol (typically high concentrations). Disrupt hydrophobic interactions; improve solubility of lipids for cleaning but raise flammability/handling issues. pharmtech.com
Cyclodextrins (especially methylated or randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin / RAMEB / DMe-β-CD, and to varying degrees α-, β-, HP-β-CD): Extract cholesterol and phospholipids from membranes, increasing permeability, leakage, or causing collapse at sufficient concentrations. Effects depend on CD type, dose, and membrane cholesterol content. link.springer.com +2
Other noted factors: High concentrations of certain kosmotropic salts (e.g., ammonium sulfate) can aggregate/precipitate PEGylated liposomes; extreme pH, heat, or oxidation can destabilize; some nanoparticles or polymers can tear or fragment membranes under specific conditions.
Branded/consumer products that contain the above (many soaps, dish detergents, hand washes, some lotions or topical cleansers with surfactants/alcohols) can disrupt lipid structures on surfaces. Efficacy varies widely with formulation and contact conditions.
Internal (oral or injectable) agents
The same surfactants, bile salts, solvents, and high-dose cyclodextrins that work in vitro or on surfaces are generally not safe or selective for bloodstream use against LNPs. They disrupt host cell membranes (including red blood cells) at effective concentrations.
Bile salts occur physiologically in the intestine and can destabilize orally administered liposomes, but systemic (bloodstream) levels for intentional LNP disruption are not a therapeutic approach.
Cyclodextrins have pharmaceutical uses (e.g., solubilizing agents) and can interact with membranes, but high systemic doses for rapid LNP inactivation are not established as safe or effective antidotes and carry risks.
No specific medicines or injectables are approved or routinely described as LNP-disrupting antidotes for vaccine mishaps. Research on LNP fate focuses on clearance, protein corona, MPS uptake, and formulation stability rather than forced rapid inactivation in blood. nature.com
Important caveats: Literature on disruption is largely from in vitro biophysics, pharmaceutical formulation/stability studies, cleaning validation, or drug-delivery research—not clinical antidote development for circulating LNPs. “Rapid” disruption typically requires relatively high local concentrations of surfactant relative to lipid. PEG coatings or cholesterol content can modulate stability. Self-experimentation or off-label use of detergents, solvents, or high-dose agents internally is dangerous and not supported.
For any real-world allergic reaction or medical concern involving a vaccine or LNP product, seek immediate professional medical care; do not attempt chemical disruption. If this is related to laboratory work, cleaning protocols, or formulation science, consult primary literature or specialists for concentration- and condition-specific details.
END GROK
Let me translate all of that.
As long as the shed vaccine is still on the surface of your skin, on clothing, on a mask, or on a surface in your house, the vaccine can be destroyed by all sorts of cleaning products, including surfactants, soaps of all kinds, alcohols, oxidizing agents, bile salts, cyclodextrins, and probably anything useful for cleaning.
Further, any lotions or surface treatments which do not aid in skin penetration (like DMSO), but which do sweep things away from direct contact with your cells, are likely to be helpful in delaying, dissolving, and degrading lipid nanoparticles. Imagine spilled chemical on your skin – it’s the same principle. Diluting the vaccine and/or washing it off make sense.
It is a much different story once a lipid nanoparticle vaccine is inside you – be that from prolonged skin contact, breathing, swallowing, or any other route into your body (like the mRNA jab). None of these things work, once the vaccine is inside you, or in the bloodstream. In fact, these cleaning agents are just as dangerous to your internal cellular machinery (lipid-coated droplets) as they are to the lipid nanoparticles. However, as long as the shed vaccine doesn’t get into your bloodstream (a lower probability than a surface reaction), you don’t have to worry as much about that, as about vaccine damage to skin or mucus membranes where shed vaccine made contact.
Thus, the best time to fight shedding, IMO, is soon after contact. Washing, application of lotions or alcohols, etc., should inactivate shed vaccine. Washing away or denaturing shed protein is also likely to work at the same time.
Again, it is important to remember is that systemic problems from shedding are much less likely than surface problems.
A Realistic Program Against Shedding
This is my opinion. Others may differ. That’s OK. I am just offering my perspective. YMMV.
My first concern remains shedding of virus.
If I am not accepting the trade-offs of the vaccine itself, then my protection is my immune system. My immune system has worked very nicely over the years, against colds, flu, and flu-like illnesses, including all forms of COVID as well as non-COVID coronaviruses. There are appropriately long gaps between infections, and the infections (except for OG Wuhan) have not been debilitating, indicating a functioning immune system.
My immune system is always supplemented with plenty of vitamin D, because vitamin D levels are extremely highly correlated with immunity to viruses. The relationship is stark, and backed by the strongest science. Rates of viral infections almost disappear at high serum levels of vitamin D. There are probable mechanisms for this, but I literally don’t care what they are. Without knowing the causation, the correlation still works. I cannot recommend vitamin D enough. You need to be supplementing it, and maintaining maximum exposure to sunlight. Better still, a measurement of serum levels, but it’s not cheap and your doctor likely won’t recommend it.
Doesn’t matter. Supplementation is cheap and easy and not dangerous, so why not just make sure you are taking a few thousand IUs daily? Just do it. When you notice an appropriately long time between colds and flu, you know you’re taking enough.
Likewise, I make sure that I am not deficient in any vitamin or mineral. Vitamin C, magnesium, selenium and zinc are very important.
However, THIS is even more important.
Avoiding crowded events is critical to reducing exposure to shed viruses. I can link almost every case of influenza or coronavirus infection in recent years to a specific event where there were lots of people crowded together.
In other words, shedding. Viral shedding. As in, viral shedding by people in close proximity.
Thus, avoid crowded public events, particularly in the wintertime, when viruses are maximally spread.
After viral shedding, my next concern is vaccine shedding.
IMO casual vaccine shedding from strangers in momentary close proximity, but not direct physical contact, is far, far less of a problem than living with a vaxxed person for that week after vaccination. Even worse, sleeping with that person who just had a vax.
You should note that my concerns here are EXACTLY what the pharmaceutical industry is concerned about in vaccine trials. That includes live virus AND gene therapy products (even if they don’t call them gene therapy products).
My recommendation is to avoid close contact with vaxxed people for at least 2 days after vaccination, and better a full week. Two weeks should be more than enough, always.
Why? Because the vaccine itself degrades. Even if a person take the vaccine, and shows all sorts of disease symptoms for weeks if not months (please pray for them if this is the case) due to vax-initiated protein production that won’t shut off, they are unable to transmit the vaccine to you, because it is no longer there. The vaccine is degraded, but protein production may still be running.
What about shed vaccine when we can’t avoid being around an individual?
This is when to use soaps, alcohol-based gels, and other skin products. This is when to wash your hands after that oily, wet handshake from some just-jabbed joker, sweating profusely due to their mRNA jab. This is when to stand back from people who can’t “say it” without the need to “spray it”. And note that all of this works even better for VIRUS.
IMO, the vaccine is a far greater danger to you, than the protein these poor victims are now producing. YOU don’t want to be inappropriately producing the protein.
And HERE is where my opinion is likely to differ with yours.
My final concern, about exposure to environmental viral protein, is largely not a concern.
Why? Because this is the natural way in which we build immunity.
Even against a bioweapon. I repeat. Even against a bioweapon – as either a virus or a vaccine.
I literally don’t care if the neighbor sheds small amounts of spike protein or flu proteins on me, because THAT is the vaccination that I prefer – the one for which I am designed. Likewise, I am unconcerned with exposure to dead virus, because THAT is basically how we are naturally prepared for exposure to live virus.
Do I want to inject a protein or dead virus vaccine into me? Maybe – but more likely not. I am now very cautious about vaccines, given that I have lost much trust in the current “vaccine cult” in science. I still trust God and His natural evolutionary reality, however, so I am far more likely to simply trust a combination of pre-exposure of my healthy immune system to proteins, followed by full natural immunity from a well-tolerated episode of the disease.
Rabies? That’s a different story. I’ll take the vaxx, as long as it’s not mRNA. I’ve already done so, once before. I would ONLY take an mRNA rabies vaccine if the animal was confirmed to be rabid, because then it’s a “lesser of two confirmed evils” situation.
I am not going to get pregnant any time soon, and I’ve already had COVID and influenza several times each, so I’m not terribly concerned about exposure to proteins from new variants. In fact, I am at the point of “keeping up” with the latest versions.
SO – some jabbie wants to expose me to the latest spike protein in a non-infective way? Please! Not a problem. Go right ahead. Flu proteins? Be my guest. But I won’t let them expose me to the Soviet Trabant two-stroke mRNA vaccine which I very intentionally decided NOT to take.
And again, my final point. Even if the vaccine AND the protein it produces are “bioweapons” – guess what? I want to be immune to it. I want my system to adapt to its presence. I want natural immunity to all this shit – whether it’s purely “old natural” or “the new natural” that includes stupid human gain-of-function scientific error.
Do you see what I’m saying? GOD has this situation – ALREADY. Let go and let God – just do it at the right time and place.
I hope this helps. If you have questions, feel free to ask.

That was stolen from Wheatie.
Let’s steal her rules, too.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
I decided that I would dump a dozen of my tabs once again. It’s cathartic. A few thoughts go out with each one.
(1) An old Wheatie post, from September 14, 2019, when this site was just shy of 1 year old. We were still on WordPress, and COVID had probably just been leaked from the Wuhan lab.
(2) An old Steve post, from the Qth of July, 2021, in the midst of COVID vaccination, when Steve covered Einstein’s early, revolutionary papers, laying foundations in both relativity and quantum mechanics.
(3) My 250th Anniversary thank you post, featuring Q = Quantum and a salute to our fallen patriots, in case you want to bookmark it. Also the finale on the Thursday posts with the Genesis stained glass artwork.
(4) A great video on Trump’s Main Street / Golden Age / reindustrialization strategy. Thanks to Duchess for bringing this to my attention.
(5) One of the best explanations of the Schroedinger equation – an intuitive physical and mathematical rationalization of how quantum mechanics arises out of classical physics.
(6) AI slop and eye-roll clickbait about Pluto is very interesting nonetheless. Much of this stuff is worth knowing. If you make it past the first repetitive, yawn-inducing, “delay of story” filler nonsense, it gets better!
(7) These two tabs go together. Think long and hard before you get an mRNA vaccine.
I wanted to let everyone know that my husband @DanVanAckeren1 took his own life on Friday, July 24, 2026. He was suffering for 5 years after the COVID-19 Pfizer vax gave him Multiple System Atrophy & other conditions. His was the 3rd suicide this week. My fight isn’t over. pic.twitter.com/iDGPNNKQo9
When you read about his case, you’ll understand that his life was a living hell. Please don’t roll the dice. Don’t trust these demons! They won’t have the mercy to just kill you – they will torment you until you kill yourself.
(8) Here’s an interesting argument leaning on the First Amendment – that restrictions on drug advertising would enable restrictions on energy advertising.
STEVE MILLOY: Banning Drug Ads Today Could Muzzle Energy Tomorrow
(9) Good habits are effective in helping people to NOT GET a nasty parasite in Hawaii, and those habits will serve you well here in the Great 48. Read about how to prevent rat lungworm brain infections, because that information will help keep you from getting other diseases here in REAL AMERICA.
(10) Horrible clickbait about fire ants is really an interesting ecology study about “horny toads” in Texas. Go ahead and click. Yeah, it’s AI slop, but it’s not terrible.
I will be hitting VERY HARD on the topic of mRNA vaccines in general, and the mRNA flu shot mFlusiva in particular, over the next few weeks.
I will be refreshing your memories to get you all back into FIGHTING SHAPE.
To begin with, I strongly suggest watching this 1 HOUR movie about mRNA vaccines. The main reason is that it will AWAKEN your dormant memories of the world under COVID. Automatic brain boost for our purposes.
I also think it is very important to see interviews with actual vaccine-injured people.
This movie will show you the reality of vaccine injury.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
