Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
pseudandry
noun
assumption of a man’s proper name by a woman
use of a masculine name by a woman as a pseudonym
the use by a female writer of a male pseudonym
the first step in girls falling for the transgender social contagion
what brainwashed schoolgirls do with the help of Democrat teachers
appropriation of male nomenculture by a mentally ill woman
nomenculture
noun
Wolfmoonian neologism (which may or may not already exist) designed to criticize left-wing political correctness over it’s ridiculous “cultural appropriation” morality. The resemblance to nomenclature is intentional. The obvious meaning is “culture of naming things”.
MUSIC!
Enjoy a classic “epic” track from back when we were on CTH, supporting Trump against the Jebusites and Donkey Coms!
Steve’s post on Tides reminded me of this scene in the movie Interstellar. Pay attention to the music.
This guy’s goofy deadpan humor is just fun to watch. He “collects” great bass players around the world in his video channel. Enjoy!
THE STUFF
Did you ever wonder why LinkedIn is so horrible, and encourages a weird kind of PC phoniness? This is the guy who founded it, and who runs it.
Reminder: the man who finally backed the $83.3 million defamation lawsuit against Trump is Democrat Mega Donor Reid Hoffman.
Reid Hoffman has also financially backed Nikki Haley.
This is a coordinated attack on Trump. Are you paying attention yet?
Keep pushing the Faucists and the Branch Covidians every day on masks, vaccines, and DEATH BY JABS. They’re backing up and giving OUR SIDE the scientific credibility now.
The Science ™ threw away randomized trials, control groups, civil rights, informed consent, benefit harm analysis, and scientific debate. We are in a new dark age. https://t.co/bdW4V5ts1Z
Pay attention here. Democrats are MAOIST. Public schools are now MAOIST. This is not an accident.
Anyone who has ever studied China under Mao, as I have (both professionally and academically), will recognize that this is how the Cultural Revolution started. Denouncing well-meaning parents. Listen to the way she speaks. It is rushed, words are poorly articulated–as if she did… https://t.co/Izd8mB7PoE

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
doppelganger
noun
A ghostly double of a living person, especially one that haunts such a person.
An evil twin.
A remarkably similar double.
Alter ego.
A person who has the same name as another.
A book by anti-Trump feminist Naomi Klein, about Trump-friendly feminist Naomi Wolf.
From Wikipedia
A doppelgänger (/ˈdɒpəlɡɛŋər, -ɡæŋər/), sometimes spelled as doppelgaenger or doppelganger, is a biologically unrelated look-alike, or a double, of a living person. In fiction and mythology, a doppelgänger is often portrayed as a ghostly paranormal phenomenon and usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck. Other traditions and stories equate a doppelgänger with an evil twin. In modern times, the term twin stranger is occasionally used.
The Book Cover
MUSIC!
How about a “fiddle chicks X bagpipe grlz” video?
It turns out there is actually a song called “Doppelganger”. It’s not bad at all, but kinda sad.
How about some fresh country? Just found this song!
OK, let’s finish with a TRUMP RALLY SONG! WOOHOO!!!
THE STUFF
The stuff, this week, is about Naomi Klein vs. Naomi Wolf.
I began by picking up the recent “Naomi vs. Naomi” book, Doppelganger.
You’re all most likely familiar with feminist Naomi Wolf, that perennial guest of Steve Bannon. She, the anti-COVID-vaccine-fighter extraordinaire, whose stellar work on the Pfizer FOIA documents caused Rochelle Walensky to flee her harpy perch at CDC for better cover.
There is another feminist who is sometimes confused with Wolf, named Naomi Klein. Klein is a cabal defender, ultimately, but she has managed a bit of some weak “insider” criticism on the left – enough to be considered an intellectual – not enough to lose her perks and privileges.
Supposedly because Klein is sometimes mistaken for Wolf, and takes wrongly directed criticism from the left for it, Klein decided to attack Wolf, and hence the book. Or at least, that is her story.
Right now, both the Kindle version and the hardback version of Klein’s book are $15, which means that the hardcover is NOT doing well in those cabal bookstores like Barnes & Lucifer.
“WHAT???!!!” – you may be saying. Why would this Wolf (“DA WOOF”) be picking up RADICAL LEFT TRASH?
The book is basically one long REEEEEEEEEE!!!!!, and it’s glorious, and that is why I bought it.
More specifically, the book is a left-wing, globalist, overly verbose, incredibly narcissistic, and eye-rollingly navel-gazing attack by stereotypical “New York culture, Canada address” feminist Naomi Klein on “MAGA-friendly liberal” feminist Naomi Wolf.
Once I realized how much of a REEEEEEEEEE!!! this book was, I began laughing in the store at every breathless outrage, and eventually realized that I needed to buy it.
The thing is, Naomi Klein is OBSESSED with Naomi Wolf, and the more one reads, the more one understands that FAKERY is chasing AUTHENTICITY – obsessed – because Fakery cannot stand to be in the same room as Authenticity, and yet it MUST be in that room, getting all the attention, so it has to ATTACK what it cannot be.
In the same way that people like Romney, Pelosi, Obama, Kasich, and all the rest are OBSESSED with Trump, and simply MUST try to destroy him – in the same way that Satan is OBSESSED with Christ, and must try to destroy Him, so Naomi Klein is obsessed with the “other Naomi” whose coattails she rode in on, and from whose coattails she exited, in the name of holding onto respect by the media, the government, and the rest of the elite.
It is my belief that Naomi Klein is the real doppelganger, and that her work is a kind of sub-critical hysterical confession. IMO, Klein always benefited from confusion with Naomi Wolf – until Naomi Wolf “walked the walk” right into the fire – in a way that Naomi Klein could not follow, nor even pretend to “talk the talk” without losing her seat at the elite table.
Wolf lost her academic position for speaking the truth. Klein still has hers. Do the math.
Klein wrote a book called The Shock Doctrine, which was a very insightful look at how neo-liberal corporate capitalism piles into crisis to make money. Klein was basically starting to see the phoniness of things like the Green New Deal. The problem was, she could never go far enough, because she’s too close to the agenda. Whether Klein can’t see, won’t see, or is just pretending not to see, it doesn’t change the outcome – she doesn’t see.
Klein can never see – nor admit that she sees – the corruption of centralized government, working hand-in-hand with phony crisis capitalism.
COVID and the vaccines provide a perfect example. Klein simply can’t leave the plantation. She stays safely on the “Bad Wolf” designated cheer circle, criticizing Wolf for departing from “the science” into “conspiracy theories”, and utterly refusing to admit that “the science” is no longer interested in saving pleb lives, when government money, taken from the plebs, is there for the taking.
Does Klein know? Is she wise to the globalist scam? Probably, IMO.
Klein also takes some interesting heat from the left.
For example, Klein is seen as a bit too friendly toward big-government-big-corporation-big-NGO-big-academia solutions, and the “gang-green” take her out for not going totally Maoist and anarchist on climate change, like those brave souls who glue themselves to roads, art exhibits, and whatnot.
Whatever. The bottom line is that I took one for the team, to figure out what’s up with this Klein broad. Save your money – don’t buy the book unless you want to “see the REE“!

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
volens
adjective
In the state of mind where one voluntarily accepts a specific risk.
Willing.
In Latin: wishing, willing, welcome.
Primarily a legal term.
Part of another term, nolens volens (willing or unwilling; willy-nilly).
In law, volens is a state of mind, referring to voluntary acceptance of a specific risk. It is usually pleaded by way of defense, and often employs the legal Latin volenti non fit injuria. The term volens itself is often used in contradistinction to the terms sciens (meaning mere knowledge of the risk, without any voluntary assumption of it).
History of the term
The earliest known use of the adjective volens is in the 1870s. OED’s earliest evidence for volens is from 1872, in Law Journal . volens is a borrowing from Latin.
Exemplary legal usage
Sanjeet Singh Kaila vs Union Of India And Another [2nd May 2017]
In this case it was said that the risk may arise from a defect in a machine which the servant has engaged to work of such a nature that his personal danger and consequent injury must be produced by his own act, If he clearly foresaw the likelihood of such a result, and, not withstanding, continued to work, I think that, according to the authorities, he ought to be regarded asvolens. The case may be very different when there is no inherent peril in the work performed by the servant, and the risk to which he is exposed arises from a defect in the machine used in another department over which he has no control.(emphasis supplied)
MUSIC!
Start off with some super-classic country re-done by the next generation – twenty years ago.
I always liked Lee Ann, as part of “90’s country” which is currently held in some kind of classic esteem, but which seemed edgy and modern to us back then!
Let’s jump forward ten years to 2014, looking back again.
OK – we’re back to the present, with a recent recording of current country music. It’s poppy, but still very listenable.
Any classic rock fans out there? If so, check out this gigantic medley of Rush tropes to create one massive intro.
I was led to this song from last week’s bagpipe video. Weirdest fusion of genres (Punjabi and Scot) in forever. Then add rap music and stunning visuals. Enjoy!
THE STUFF
Yup. The left takes over everything, including Community Notes. “Note” how Milloy has to preemptively defend against abuse.
Milloy is using a very effective tactic to make people understand the most basic science – cause and effect. He’s showing that people are right to suspect there is no correlation between what the Climate Commies say affects climate, and reality.
We would expect to see direct connections, but we don’t. Why not? They will have answers, but the answers will ultimately fail to convince, as Occam’s Razor is repeatedly violated by hand-waving excuses and Rube Goldberg alibis, rather than pleasingly straightforward and multi-explanatory science.
Now let’s look at the COVID lies.
Two killer tweets that show COVID was a globo-commie Chinese/American production.
Note that Avril Haines is an Obama Girl – one of the Furies – or Harpies as I like to call them. The other two are Susan Rice and Lisa Monaco, also running the country. They’re part of the plot that runs Dementia Hitler as an avatar for Obola, who’s really behind what’s happening to America.
Thank God this is America. And keep thanking God if you want to keep it that way.
Tommy Robinson walks out of court and straight into a left wing journalist who he asks, “You watched yourself ask me questions, so what’s the difference between what you done and what I did?

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
mendacity
noun
The condition of being mendacious; untruthfulness.
A lie; a falsehood.
The quality of being mendacious; a disposition to lie or deceive; habitual lying.
The act of not telling the truth.
The tendency to lie or be untruthful.
Etymology
1640s, from French mendacité and directly from Late Latin mendacitas “falsehood, mendacity,” from Latin mendax “lying; a liar” (see mendacious) mendacious (adj.) “given to lying, speaking falsely; having the characteristics of a lie, false, untrue,” 1610s, from French mendacieux and directly from Latin mendacium “a lie, untruth, falsehood, fiction,” from mendax (genitive mendacis) “lying, deceitful,” from menda “fault, defect, carelessness in writing,” from PIE root *mend- “physical defect, fault” (see amend (v.)). The sense evolution of Latin mendax was influenced by mentiri “to speak falsely, lie, deceive.”
This time we start with one o’ them SIREENS in a STAIRWELL!
Aw, heck – you ain’t seen nothin’!
How about ARENA rock played by three GLOBAL HIPPIE CHICKS on BAGPIPES?
I have to admit, this is rather cool!
How about country boys Vince Gill and Keith Urban playing rocker Joe Walsh a month ago? Strangely enjoyable.
After that, we need some pure country, bluegrass, gospel, or all of the above.

1) Say hello to Nathan Wolfe. American virologist and founder of METABIOTA! The Biden-funded biolab company via Rosemont Seneca, studying bat coronaviruses in Ukraine circa 2014, via project PREDICT with CIA proxy, USAID. He is the epicenter of the Deep State bio network. Not only is he the founder of Biden’s Metabiota, he is a WEF member, DoD employee, sat on the board of Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance involved in Wuhan, funded by DARPA, Gates Foundation, funded Ghislaine Maxwell’s TerraMar project with the Clintons, member of The Edge Foundation collecting microbes and housing animal viruses all over the world, AND Russia have accused him directly of being the key player in creating SARS-CoV-2 from a bat coronavirus he discovered in Ukraine. Before I get started, I’d like to clarify that other people have dug into this subject already for years, I am not breaking any news here. However some new developments have fallen into place, specifically as it pertains to Russia and the Epstein blackmail operation, and I personally have connected some dots that I was unaware of until now, and the world needs to see it. I might be late to the party, but this is INSANE! Thread!
Now the second tweet, that contains the BIG LIE which tells me these people are up to something other than what they say they are doing.
2) So Nathan Wolfe is a virologist that calls himself the “Virus Hunter”. @virushunter
He wrote a book in 2012, “The Viral Storm: The Dawn of a New Pandemic Age”.

2) So Nathan Wolfe is a virologist that calls himself the “Virus Hunter”. @virushunter
He wrote a book in 2012, “The Viral Storm: The Dawn of a New Pandemic Age”.
He warned that Humans are becoming more susceptible to pandemics and that we will see many pandemics in the future.
He claims the only way to stop these future pandemics, it is to hunt down new animal pathogens before they can jump to humans, genetically enhance these animal pathogens to “gain the function” of infecting humans (aka bioweapon production), so we can study these human-engineered pathogens, and make vaccines for them preemptively JUST IN CASE these animal pathogens mutate this way naturally, so we have the medical deterrent on hand.
This dude literally wrote the book on how they created SARS-CoV-2 and the “vaccines”. He wrote a book preemptively justifying his future bioweapon production.
But that’s not all. He thanked 16 people for their assistance with all the information in his book, and one of the people he thanked was none other than Jeffrey Epstein himself.
What does Epstein know about virology?
Shout out to @hash_tigre for this thread in 2021.
This is the key. He’s LYING. He is MALIGNING evolution, DEFAMING nature, and even SLANDERING GOD’S DESIGN – all of which work AWAY from viral pathogenicity.
(I could put these in more scientific terms, but it’s better to see the big picture.)
Here’s an analogous lie:
“We have to create all forms of pornography to study them and find which types are really dangerous, so that we can learn how to prevent them.”
As I say, the universe is PRO-LIFE. These swindlers allege that it’s anti-life, so that humanity can do very anti-life things in the name of being pro-life. Ultra devilish. Purely SATANIC.
These people are LYING IN SCIENCE to manipulate humanity toward (in my best guess) MODIFICATION OF HUMANITY.
Q was right. They’re evil. VERY evil.
It will allege to be self-directed modification, but I highly doubt that.
Once you understand that THIS is the goal, then you can see every lie they are telling to deceive us into moving in their desired direction.
This is our SIXTH New Year, as we are now over FIVE years old.

Word of the New Year:
courage
noun
The state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery.
Pat Frederick and Aubergine had an inspired conversation, and I think they’re both right.
PEACE – STRENGTH – CLARITY – COURAGE
Peace
Strength
Clarity
Courage
and always remember
and even more importantly
THESE qualities are what we need to get past THEIR NEXT JANUARY SIXTH PLOT!!!
MUSIC!
We offer multi-song selections from multiple genres. Take your pick!
Here’s something that wasn’t on your bingo card for the New Year – Indian Christian music!
A little too Eastern? Try Western! Medieval Western! Note the interesting similarities – and differences.
OK – let’s celebrate LAST YEAR – with an BIG WOLF epic / heroic orchestral music mix from 2023!!!
https://youtu.be/fIJ1z97690Q
Feeling uninspired? Try some INSPIRATIONAL electronic music that’s used to addict people to VIDEO GAMES.
And if you still feel like partying, and want some energy, here is an interesting genre called “nightcore” – which is basically sped-up music, like we loved when we were kids, playing 33 1/3 rpm vinyl at 45 rpm.
https://youtu.be/s5nLNf_5jrs
And how can we celebrate a turn of the Gregorian calendar, without a selection of real, live, Gregorian chants, by Spanish monks?
Sorry, but we can only provide a link to this one.
If you can’t do links, here is an alternative – an hour of “Gregorian pop” with a female vocalist!
https://youtu.be/Y6nf7nz58zA
OK – if you’re still looking for something, try an oddball collection of classic country. This is a strange mix, but it’s got its moments, like riding in somebody else’s pickup truck with an 8-track player and an eclectic selection of tapes strewn everywhere.
https://youtu.be/7sXhvCn5Olo
Still feeling the Christmas spirit, but DONE with trees, ornaments, and all that “not about Christ” stuff? How about hours and hours of hymns on piano and cello, with soothing videos of nature in the background?
Sorry boys – the AI-generated “big fiddle” gal only appears on the cover!
OK – time to finish with SIREENS. Real ones. In a STAIRWELL!
We repeat our greetings from Christmas!
A Happy New Year to ALL of you – posters, lurkers, appreciated authors, former posters, beloved guests, wandering journalists, opposition researchers, Deep State(TM) spies, foreign and domestic intelligence, and future historical AIs.

The Yule log, Yule clog, or Christmas block is a specially selected log burnt on a hearth as a winter tradition in regions of Europe, and subsequently North America. The origin of the folk custom is unclear. Like other traditions associated with Yule (such as the Yule boar), the custom may ultimately derive from Proto-Indo-European religion as similar traditions have been recorded in Celtic, Germanic, Baltic and Slavic paganism, among others.
American folklorist Linda Watts provides the following overview of the custom:
The familiar custom of burning the Yule log dates back to earlier solstice celebrations and the tradition of bonfires. The Christmas practice calls for burning a portion of the log each evening until Twelfth Night (January 6). The log is subsequently placed beneath the bed for luck, and particularly for protection from the household threats of lightning and, with some irony, fire. Many have beliefs based on the yule log as it burns, and by counting the sparks and such, they seek to discern their fortunes for the new year and beyond.[1]
Watts notes that the Yule log is one of various “emblem[s] of divine light” that feature in winter holiday customs (other examples include the Yule fire and Yule candle).[1]

Need something more classic? An hour of Christmas piano!
OK – I don’t normally do “ads for musicals featured on MSN”, but this is kinda cool, in a Hollywood way.
Well, now let’s try some more modern stuff just for comparison. Check out some “dub-step” electronica for Christmas!
Let’s recover from that, with a smooth orchestral version of a classic – with some false advertising, as there’s no Bing in sight…..
Time to JUMP THE WOLF – with a bunch of great orchestral and “big choral” Christmas tunes – and a RIDICULOUSLY BIG WOLF!
Finally – what’s Christmas without some DS-approved Hollywood?
OK, we can’t finish with that. Merry Christmas — in Latin!

Word of The Week:
G-quadruplex
and related terms such as
G4 knot and G-tetrad
nouns
In molecular biology, G-quadruplexsecondary structures (G4) are formed in nucleic acids by sequences that are rich in guanine.[2] They are helical in shape and contain guanine tetrads that can form from one,[3] two[4] or four strands.[5] The unimolecular forms often occur naturally near the ends of the chromosomes, better known as the telomeric regions, and in transcriptional regulatory regions of multiple genes, both in microbes[6][7] and across vertebrates [8][7] including oncogenes in humans.[9] Four guanine bases can associate through Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding to form a square planar structure called a guanine tetrad (G-tetrad or G-quartet), and two or more guanine tetrads (from G-tracts, continuous runs of guanine) can stack on top of each other to form a G-quadruplex.
The placement and bonding to form G-quadruplexes is not random and serve very unusual functional purposes. The quadruplex structure is further stabilized by the presence of a cation, especially potassium, which sits in a central channel between each pair of tetrads.[3] They can be formed of DNA, RNA, LNA, and PNA, and may be intramolecular, bimolecular, or tetramolecular.[10] Depending on the direction of the strands or parts of a strand that form the tetrads, structures may be described as parallel or antiparallel. G-quadruplex structures can be computationally predicted from DNA or RNA sequence motifs,[11][12] but their actual structures can be quite varied within and between the motifs, which can number over 100,000 per genome. Their activities in basic genetic processes are an active area of research in telomere, gene regulation, and functional genomics research.[13][14]
Those genetic bases (the little flat molecules with one or two rings and lots of “N” and “O” in them) can not only bond to each other in PAIRS between different bases – the base guanine (G) can bond to itself if it makes a circle big enough for FOUR of them instead of just a pair (see left picture above). Sometimes a metal ion in the center can help this happen.
This competing form of binding disrupts the nice, neat, normal “double helix” binding, but not permanently.
When G4 binding happens, there are many working ways that the little squares can form. These squares tend to STACK just like in normal DNA, and so sequences that are rich in guanine can build these stacks easily, if the guanines are in the right places. Alternatively, two or more strands of DNA or RNA can join in these knots, but at a minimum, a single strand can do it, as shown on the right of the graphic above, where the sequence knots up against itself.
Note that this is more like “knots in velcro”, and not like various circling knots we are familiar with.
Used in a sentence
“For over two decades, the prime objective of the chemical biology community studying G-quadruplexes (G4s) has been to use chemicals to interact with and stabilize G4s in cells to obtain mechanistic interpretations.”
The COVID vaccine mRNA is not natural – and not only in that normal bases are substituted with modified bases. It also has been “codon optimized”, meaning the very sequence of bases was changed from the viral sequence, by substituting base triplets with synonymous ones, that are known to process faster in humans. But the problem is that these changes are rich in guanine, making the knotting more likely. This not-fully-equivalent substitution has potential pharmacological consequences. In a sense, viral evolutionary intelligence was ignored (a beautiful point made by Kevin McKernan).

Let’s start off with some LIVE DRINKABY
Sadly, DRINKABY line dancing hasn’t just infected the other side of the Pacific – it has become a destructive influence in Spongebob’s hometown of Bikini Bottom.
https://youtu.be/xGTdVy7t1K8
This led to me watching (please skip, unless you desire to prove the full effect that follows) a video compilation of the times the town of Bikini Bottom was destroyed in the cartoon “Spongebob Squarepants”.
When that destructive propaganda of mayhem was over (yes, even Spongebob is one of their tentacles), I needed the following.
This is only 18 minutes – and worth every one of them.
But here is the one you need right now!
You know, maybe we’ll just leave it right there and skip the usual worldly “stuff”!
Although I did promise PAVACA that I would explain something, so we’ll try that.
MOAR DNA and RNA STUFF
Check out this video, which shows TRANSCRIPTION – the normal, natural way that DNA is turned into RNA in living organisms on this planet.
NOW – the molecular biologist who found the DNA contamination problem in the mRNA vaccines – Kevin McKernan – reposted the latter video with a comment about something which is NOT in the video, but which would change it. Here is his comment.
Now add N1 methyl Pseudouridine and watch that yellow strand turn into quadruplex G knot. https://t.co/0S5raeEjpT
Kevin is not commenting about the transcription process shown here. He is NOT talking about the red DNA strand, either. He is commenting about the yellow strand of mRNA which is being produced.
“Now add N1 methyl Pseudouridine and watch that yellow strand turn into quadruplex G knot.”
He is saying that if you change the uridines in that molecule to N1-methyl-pseudouridine, as was done in the Pfizer vaccine, the yellow strand of mRNA will “kink up” with G-quadruplex knots.
He explains that further, when somebody wrongly claims the video is showing translation (creation of proteins) and not transcription (creation of mRNA). Observe.
Nope. Try modeling transcription with N1 methyl PseudoU. It radically alters the melting temperature of RNA and accelerates quadruplex G formation/R-Loops.
They also GC enriched the sequence via codon optimization.
Then try feeding that knot into a ribosome. Ribosomal pausing
So to sum up, he is saying that the “good” “yellow” mRNA produced in the video was corrupted by the modifications that were made to it by Pfizer.
He says the following things:
it’s transcription, not translation, that is being shown
the “pseudo-uridine” changes done to the viral mRNA sequence make the mod-RNA dissociate more easily
the same changes make the mod-RNA form G4-quadruplexes easier
Pfizer also changed the code to include more guanines (G), which means more quadruplexes
all the G4-based KNOTS that are present in the mod-RNA cause the subsequent TRANSLATION step (looks similar to the video, but it’s PROTEIN being formed) to suddenly PAUSE, just like a KNOT in a climbing rope will lock up against a device until it is untangled. This is the “ribosomal pausing” he’s talking about.
So how does the DeMarinis paper figure into this?
The DeMarinis paper showed that the Pfizer vaccine can be reverse-transcribed from mod-RNA back into DNA by human liver cells. Reverse transcription would look pretty much like the video of transcription, except that RNA would be read, and DNA would spit out.
Whether that DNA is incorporated into the genome or not is unknown, but it is a huge concern, because another group (Jaenisch paper) showed that the COVID virus SARS-CoV-2 can and does incorporate its spike into the genome of some patients, AND yet another group (Mehedi paper) showed that the viral spike shepherds its own mRNA into the nucleus of human cells, where reverse transcription could happen.
I wanted people to see a bigger point – that this repeated and coincidentally connected “bungling” by Pfizer and its allies, which weirdly matches WEF’s dream of “hacking humanity”, is worthy of a bit of suspicion.
When a trail of disconnected yet matching footprints goes in some direction, it’s rather logical that somebody was purposefully passing that way.
New pinned Tweet. This paper clarifies the purpose of the full spike protein mRNA vaccines, which create a hack and portal into the cell nucleus and thence into the human genome. Straight out of WEF and Harari's ravings, it's amazing that they did it. https://t.co/q2oocDyD4s
It sure looks to me like the various “negligent” yet clearly convenient aspects of this whole exercise, add up to an attempt to gain a population-wide hack into the human cell nucleus.
The above is an image of Father Christmas from a vintage postcard.
The following may be a bit “heavy” — please regard it as a kind of rich “Christmas Pudding” of COVID-19 “vaccine” knowledge base. Not a “lump of coal!”
Just in time for Christmas, Yours Truly presents a list of what she considers to be the “Top 12” types of damage that the COVID-19 “vaccines” can do to the body of the “vaccine” recipient. This list has been gathered from the 1600+ hours of investigating “all things COVID-19” that Yours Truly has done since March 2020. Therefore, it is only her opinion. People who read through the report that Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA on 30 April 2021, regarding the over 1,000 serious adverse events medical conditions that the company’s COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2, caused in persons who took this “vaccine” IN FEWER THAN THREE MONTHS after the FDA granted the initial EUA for this “vaccine” in December 2020 for its use in the United States, may come up with “Top Lists” of their own. The report can be found here: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/reissue_5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf, BNT162b2 5.3.6 Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Events Reports. The APPENDIX 1. LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST, found at the end of the report, lists these serious adverse events conditions reports that BNT162b2 caused in “vaccinated” persons.
However, what is NOT opinion is that the FDA then knew, on 30 April 2021, that the Pfizer-BioNTech “flagship” COVID-19 “vaccine” BNT162b2 (actually, an untried gene therapy injection), was capable of damaging the body of the “vaccine” recipient in over 1,000 different ways, including the ways on Yours Truly’s “Top 12 List..” However, instead of performing its regulatory (and moral and ethical) obligations to immediately pull BNT162b2 off the market and out of use until the situation could be further investigated, the FDA chose to CONTINUE the EUA that it granted in December 2020 for BNT162b2. Not only that, but the FDA went ahead and granted “full approval” for the use of the European version of BNT162b2, called COMIRNATY, in the United States. Not only that, but the FDA granted EUA’s for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “bivalent vaccine” to be used in the United States. Finally, in the spring of 2023, the FDA quietly stopped all use of BNT162b2 in the United States — in Yours Truly’s opinion, after mounting reports of serious adverse events, including deaths, being caused by this “vaccine” were beginning to circulate widely and to be confirmed by professional researchers and by doctors — and substituted the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech (and the Moderna) “booster vaccines” for the Omicron variant. In the summer of 2023, the FDA granted EUA’s for both the Pfizer-BioNTech and for the Moderna “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine”, which had only been tested on mice.
Here is Yours Truly’s “Top 12 List”: The first nine, from the APPENDIX 1. cited above:
Death: neonatal and Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (page 3 and page 8); Myocarditis and Pericarditis (page 6 and page 7); Stroke (Cerebral artery embolism page 2; Cerebral thrombosis, page 2); Thrombotic Stroke (page 9), among other types; THIRTY different types of Autoimmune disorders (page 2); FORTY different types of Herpes disorders (page 4 and page 5); THIRTY-PLUS different types of Liver disorders (page 4); TWENTY-FIVE different types of Immune System disorders (page 5); SIXTEEN different types of Neurological (brain and/or central nervous system) disorders (page 6); and, COVID-19 and COVID-19 Pneumonia (page 3).
As an example, here is a handy-dandy image of page 4 of the APPENDIX 1., with Yours Truly’s notes:
To round out the “Top 12 List” of COVID-19 “vaccine” damage to the body of the recipient, there are these three:
One: Heart tissue and lung tissue damage / destruction: Please refer to: https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/causality-article.pdf, by Michael Palmer, MD, and Sucharit Bhakdi, MD; Two: Fetal / Neonatal disorders, including 1p36 deletion syndrome (also listed on page 1 of the APPENDIX 1.): Please refer to the following regarding 1p36 deletion syndrome: https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/1p36-deletion-syndrome/ (more on this condition below); and, Three: Cancer induced with the assistance of the SV40 cancer promoter DNA that has been recently discovered in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccines” (more on this below): Please refer to the following: https://osf.io/preprints/osf/mjc97, “DNA fragments detected in monovalent and bivalent Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna modRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Ontario, Canada: Exploratory dose response relationship with serious adverse events”, David Speicher, Jessica Rose, Kevin McKernan, et al. From lines 94-95 of this paper: “McKernan, et al., found SV40 promoter-enhancer-ori [DNA], and SV40 polyA signal sequences in the Pfizer vaccines.” The SV40 promoter-enhancer DNA is also in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccines” that were used in the United States: https://rumble.com/v3r1pqf-vaccine-adulteration-wkevin-mckernan-byram-bridle-chris-martenson-steve-kir.html, beginning at 3:32 in the video. Please also refer to the letter of December 2023 from Florida Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, to the directors of the FDA and the CDC: www.floridahealth.gov/about/_documents/12-06-2023-DOH-Letter-to-FDA-RFI-on-COVID-19-Vaccines.pdf. Yours Truly will posit that, since the modRNA + its spike protein and the “Process 2” manufacturing method for the current “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine” by this company in use in the United States are both based on its original “vaccine” formulations (BNT162b2 and the “booster and bivalent vaccines”), it appears that this opens up the possibility that the SV40 promoter-enhancer DNA is present in this “vaccine” also. Important: The SV40 promoter-enhancer DNA in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccines” is not the entire code, only a part of it. In and of itself, this “partial code” likely would not cause cancer; however, it can be involved in the general damage / destruction that the COVID-19 “vaccines” do to the “vaccine” recipient’s body, which can, in turn, be involved in the onset of cancer, or the re-emergence of cancer already in remission, in that person’s body. In addition, Pfizer-BioNTech DID NOT TELL the Canadian health authorities, nor, apparently, the FDA in the United States, about the SV40 issue.
About the 1p36 deletion syndrome caused by the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”: This is particularly troubling, since it effects UNBORN children and THE SPERM AND THE EGGS OF THE “VACCINATED” PARENTS. 1p36 deletion syndrome is a multi-faceted condition that negatively affects fetal development. Infants born with this condition have severe intellectual difficulties; weak muscle tone; have vision, hearing, and heart issues; and either do not speak, or can only speak a limited vocabulary; among other things. Please refer to the MedlinePlus link, above, for further information. It has been proven that large amounts of the dangerous lipid nanoparticles AND the enhanced spike protein + its modRNA in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 “vaccine” migrate to, and lodge in, two important areas of the recipient’s body — the OVARIES and the TESTES. Please refer to the image below, directly from Pfizer-BioNTech, on page 8 of a document that the company gave to the FDA on 21 January 2021. The document is called BNT162b2 2.6.5 Pharmacokinetics Tabulated Summary. It is available through https://phmpt.org/.
Please also refer to this graphic, which shows what the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” do in the pregnant mother’s body and in the body her unborn child or her nursling child (this is from a CDC presentation):
1p36 deletion syndrome is “...caused by a deletion of genetic material from a specific region in the short (p) arm of chromosome 1…Most cases of 1p36 deletion syndrome are not inherited.” (per the MedlinePlus link, above.) Think about that.
A final note on the current “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccines” by both Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna: These apparently do include the ingredients (although in smaller amounts) of the original modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” made by each company (BNT162b2 by Pfizer-BioNTech; and, mRNA-1273 by Moderna), with additional elements of the Omicron XBB 1.5 variant lineage. Please refer to the following: www.fda.gov/media/167211/download, page 39 (Pfizer-BioNTech); www.fda.gov/media/167208/download, page 34 (Moderna); and, https://covid19.nih.gov/covid-19-vaccines.
As an aside, in case readers hear someone “congratulating themselves” for their taking either the Novavax or the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 “vaccines”, because they believed that somehow these “vaccines” are “safer” than those of Pfizer-BioNTech or of Moderna: The Novavax COVID-19 “vaccine” uses the same modRNA + its spike protein as in the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccines.” The difference with the Novavax COVID-19 “vaccine” is that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is “marinated” in an insect culture, with the resulting modRNA “harvested” and mixed with “adjuvants” made from soap tree bark; this “vaccine” also uses lipid nanoparticles (LNPs.). The Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 “vaccine” was removed from use (revoked) in the United States by the FDA in May 2023. However, persons who took this “vaccine” prior to May 2023, are at risk for Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia, as listed on the “black letter warning” area on the (revoked) FDA Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers for this “vaccine.” Please refer to the following: for the Novavax COVID-19 “vaccine”: www.fda.gov/media/159897/download, page 33; www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/en/healthu/2022/08/09/novavax-vaccine-how-its-different-and-how-it-works; and, for the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) revoked COVID-19 “vaccine”: www.fda.gov/media/146304/download, page 1.
Yours Truly will make it clear she believes that COVID-19, in its variants forms, is still a threat to health. Since one is a concerned citizen, not a healthcare practitioner, one can only offer the following thoughts:
First: it is of primary importance that all people have, and maintain, the best level of personal health and immunity that is possible; “un-vaccinated” people have a primary responsibility here to themselves. Second: It is of primary importance that all “un-vaccinated” people follow a protocol for prophylaxis against COVID-19, such as those outlined at https://covid19criticalcare.com/, and including judicious exposure to sunlight and daily mild to moderate exercise. Third: It is of primary importance that all people follow “common sense” approaches, such as washing the hands, and staying away from sick people if possible. Fourth: It is of importance that “vaccinated” people know about various protocols to try and mitigate the dangerous effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” at work in their bodies; https://covid19criticalcare.com/treatment-protocols/. Fifth: It is of great importance to have and keep a positive connection with a Supreme Being.
“Then will you know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” John 8:32
It is past time, in Yours Truly’s opinion, to bring to justice those who were/are involved in the development and manufacture of the COVID-19 “vaccines”; and those in the FDA / CDC / AMA, and other medical agencies and organizations, who either know, should have known, or knew of, the dangers of these “vaccines” — but still continue to push them. Some examples: Albert Bourla, DVM (CEO of Pfizer Inc.); Stephane Bancel (CEO of Moderna); Alex Gorsky (CEO of Johnson & Johnson until 2022); Anthony Fauci, MD (former head of the NIAID); Francis Collins, MD (former head of the NIH); Janet Woodcock, MD (former Acting Commissioner of the FDA); Rochelle Walensky, MD (former Director of the CDC); Peter Daszak, CEO of EcoHealth Alliance; Robert Califf, MD (current Commissioner of the FDA); Mandy Cohen, MD (current Director of the CDC); Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, MD, (current head of the AMA); and, Ralph Baric, PhD, of the Baric Lab at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Word of The Week:
frameshift
also known as
ribosomal frameshift
noun or verb
Ribosomal frameshifting, also known as translational frameshifting or translational recoding, is a biological phenomenon that occurs during translation that results in the production of multiple, unique proteins from a single mRNA.[1] The process can be programmed by the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA and is sometimes affected by the secondary, 3-dimensional mRNA structure.[2] It has been described mainly in viruses (especially retroviruses), retrotransposons and bacterial insertion elements, and also in some cellular genes.[3]
Imagine that you had a simple language where almost any possible combination of the letters actually meant something, and there’s almost no punctuation, so it’s really hard to see where sentences start and stop. But thankfully, all the words are the same length. You just read all the words as that length, and everything makes sense.
What frameshifting means, is you accidentally skip ahead or behind, and you’re off-track. Therefore, if you accidentally skip a letter or two, you can still keep reading words, and you’re reading a completely different story.
So you say “AHA – yes, there will be words, but it won’t make sense in combination. It will create right words that are nonsense in combination, like the text of really bad spam, so you’ll know that it’s not right.”
Exactly.
That’s what the body starts doing. Creating nonsense proteins. And just like spam, these spam proteins get sent around in your body anyway, firing up the immune system. Possibly firing up immunity against your own body, should important things in it look anything like the spam.
Used in a sentence
“If the frameshifting occurs anywhere near the end of the sequence (3’UTR) you will skip over the stop codons and read into human peptides. Spike-Human peptides present an autoimmunity risk.”

Well worth a listen, from 41 minutes on. Wealthy parents of young women who attempt to disown their sexed reality, are paying for their eggs to be harvested and preserved. The gender industry is not about self expression, but about moving reproduction to the tech sector, toward a trans/post human paradigm. The celebration of dissociation from sexed reality has meaning. It is not just a derranged phenomenon.

Word of The Week:
adze
noun or verb
A cutting tool that has a curved blade set at a right angle to the handle and is used in shaping wood.
An edge tool used to cut and shape wood.
A digging tool used like both an ax and a hoe.
To use an adze in the above manners.
Longer description
An adze or adz is an ancient and versatile cutting tool similar to an axe but with the cutting edge perpendicular to the handle rather than parallel. Adzes have been used since the Stone Age. They are used for smoothing or carving wood in hand woodworking, and as a hoe for agriculture and horticulture.
Used in a sentence
When a HOE, rake, pick or ax isn’t quite right for a job, consider the trusty adze.
Used in another tool (a mattock with the adze side down)

Einstein slept nearly 10 hours a day. He valued the significance of quality sleep for maintaining his well-being. His sleep routine, though, was out of the ordinary.
He regularly indulged in brief daytime naps, occasionally more than once a day. These quick naps, lasting just a few minutes, were thought by Einstein to revitalize his mental energy and creative thinking.
He felt that these short periods of rest gave him a renewed viewpoint to solve intricate scientific challenges.
Most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about poetry, right? They have a life to live and they’re not really that concerned with Allen Ginsberg’s poems or anybody’s poems until their father dies. They go to a funeral, you lose a child, somebody breaks your heart. They don’t love you anymore. And all of a sudden you’re desperate for making sense out of this life. And has anybody ever felt this bad before? How did they come out of this cloud? Or the inverse; something great. You meet somebody and your heart explodes. You love them so much you can’t even see straight. You know, you’re dizzy. Did anybody feel like this? What is happening to me? And that’s when art’s not a luxury. It’s actually sustenance. We need it.
