The murderous LancetGate Effect is back, and this time it killed thousands before bureaucrats relented and allowed doctors to save patients.
[ Hat Tip to barkerjim for alerting me to this Indonesian case. ]
Part 1 – LancetGate Effect 1.0 and 1.1
Ah, the memories of LancetGate! That moment when “they” “finally” “proved” that hydroxychloroquine didn’t work.
Until – it turned out – they had proved nothing. For when honest people looked at the bogus Surgisphere study, embarrassingly published in The Lancet, they realized that it was absolute horseshit, built on bad data, by people who had no idea what they were doing, other than trying to KILL hydroxychloroquine. Presumably on behalf of Mysterious Unknown Bill Gateses and Nations That Might Be China.
The trouble is, by the time the study was proven to be a bunch of happy horseshit, bureaucrats had eagerly and enthusiastically banned hydroxychloroquine for treatment of COVID-19 in several countries, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people worldwide were denied hydroxychloroquine, many of them dying within that typical 14-day window in which COVID-19 kills people.
However, something interesting happened when hydroxychloroquine was banned in Switzerland.
Because the bans of HCQ were all planned and coordinated around the release of the false study, they went into effect almost immediately, with relentless efficiency. It was in some cases immediately impossible for doctors to get hydroxychloroquine.
THAT created a sharpness in the curves.
Fourteen days later, the deaths from COVID-19 began spiking – HARD. Now, people were criticizing the study almost immediately, and within a few weeks, the study was already looking very shaky, as The Lancet started backing down, ultimately leading to retraction.
The Swiss didn’t wait that long to correct their error. They saw the deaths, allowed HCQ back into the hands of doctors, saving the lives of patients, again with GREAT SUDDENNESS, despite the “best wishes” of neo-Nazi KlauSS Schwab and the WEFFEN SS Great Resetters, who needed more dead people – even their own pitiful Davos plebes.
And THIS was the result.
It was a STUNNING little blip in the data.
The result was even more interesting when compared to France, where HCQ was immediately suppressed, thanks to communist bureaucrat Agnes Buzyn, who swiftly made the OTC drug almost unobtainable.
Allow me to explain these graphs.
France starts off worse than Switzerland due to suppression of hydroxychloroquine, and gets even worse as supplies dry up, while Switzerland gets better immediately, with doctors experimenting with treatments based on the earlier research and cutting-edge studies, including both chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. A stunning indictment of post-Soviet bureaucracy.
So why does France start getting better (going down)? That is the result of research by Prof. Didier Raoult in Marseilles, in the South of France, who quickly got extremely positive results by semi-prophylactic “early treatment” of both the virus and subsequent pneumonia, using a combination of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZM), without waiting for positive test results for bacterial infection. This idea of prophylactic antibiotics is KEY to saving lives, and later influenced Dr. Zelenko in America to try a combination of HCQ, AZM, and zinc, given at the first sign of the disease, as an outpatient treatment. Zelenko gets wildly good results, preventing hospitalizations and deaths at nearly 100% level, yet is unable to get organizations like the AMA to acknowledge the treatment.
The problem for Prof. Raoult was that he was immediately vilified by the forces of Big Pharma. Some of it was absolutely stunning. Nevertheless, there was a strong group of “populist” doctors and scientists in France, and also internationally, who supported Raoult, even though the MONEY was clearly against him.
Nonetheless, Raoult was winning the hearts and minds of practitioners in France – particularly in the South of the country, and admirers around the world. And THAT is why the numbers kept getting better.
One of my favorite French memes…..
And then LANCETGATE happened, as you can see in the graph.
And then the LancetGate Effect, fully visible when LancetGate was exposed, and HCQ was allowed back into the physician’s arsenal of salvation.
France was already operating under a “ban” on hydroxychloroquine, and there was considerable pressure on Prof. Raoult, but it did not really get worse for him, or for other doctors using HCQ in spite of the ban, until a few weeks into the LancetGate Effect, where you can see a lesser effect than in Switzerland starting to happen in France, but an upward trend in deaths just the same. But the main point THERE is that the Swiss results ALMOST joined the French results.
Now, one of the confirmations of this was a SIMILAR effect in America.
The scale below is upside-down from above. In this case, UP is GOOD, DOWN is BAD.
Thanks to the WUWT weather and climate guys for finding this little nugget.
If you want to read more about these cases, please click on two old blog posts here which talk about the LancetGate Effect.
The first one talks about the effect itself.
The second involves a huge counteroffensive against all the people who had maligned hydroxychloroquine, in which Dr. Zelenko began collecting all the evidence, before it could be deleted.

You will notice in these old articles that Twitter has now BLOCKED all my tweet threads on the LancetGate Effect, by “suspending” my account. Someday Jack Dorsey will answer for this!
Part 2 – LancetGate Effect 2.0
The following information was nicely captured in TWO articles in The Gateway Pundit.
Note that time has passed between LancetGate Effects 1.0 and 2.0 – the drug of choice for treating COVID-19 is now IVERMECTIN – at high enough doses that it shows a pronounced ANTIVIRAL effect. Fortunately, the antiparasitic drug has such an incredibly high therapeutic margin, it actually has a usable secondary antiviral activity.
Who would have known? THAT is science – and science in service of humanity.
The graph that really explains things is this one.
Now I will immediately tell you that the labeling of the graph is “true but misleading”. It LOOKS like the graph is saying:
“They banned ivermectin on 06/12/21 and the number of cases took off. Then it was approved on 07/15/21 and it dropped again.”
That is NOT the case. That “Ivermectin banned” arrow could just as easily point at the whole line to the left of the July 15th arrow.
The REAL reason for the huge spike is the arrival of the DELTA VARIANT in Indonesia. That hit the previously isolated island country, and the cases took off. AT THAT TIME, ivermectin was still banned, because the Indonesian health ministry was following the advice of WHO, CDC, FDA, and the EU.
BIG MISTAKE.
Here is another look at the data.
You can see how deaths track cases in time. After ivermectin was approved and made widely available, due to the desperation of the authorities, no longer willing to listen to Western Bolshevik and Globalist media propaganda, both reported cases and deaths dropped like a rock.
This is not hard.
Namibia did the same thing, and got great results.
What education are you talking about. In Namibia, Africa we used ivermectin in my hometown. Cases dropped like a rock, same as in india and indonesia. It's clear who the ignorant one is. For god's sake you hold a Phd, act like it!
People in America were simply not prepared to see just how mercenary Big Pharma really is, particularly now that it operates hand-in-glove with the Wokester Bolshevik and Globalist Scum. People in the “third world” are quite familiar with the concept, however. They know that they are barely even numbers to the elite globalists who run the planet – who operate with far more concern for imperial politics than for the people themselves.
Part 3 – Accountability
India has had its own experiences with ivermectin, and as far as India is concerned, ivermectin saved the day there, too.
A different state was not so lucky. They listened to the wrong woman, thereby dropping ivermectin for a while, and many people died.
The problem is, India has its own problem with UN-loving idiot wokesters who value globalist conformity over truth, and it resulted in THOUSANDS OF DEAD.
However, there is also accountability.
Although this has largely been covered up by the globalist media, Indian authorities have decided to prosecute their own “Fauci” for misleading the public on ivermectin, which led to thousands of people dying.
India charges WHO Scientist Soumya Swaminathan: India is a forefront nation in demanding accountability from the WHO, the Indian Bar Association (IBA) now suing WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan.
They are accusing her of causing the deaths of many Indian citizens by misleading them about the effect of Ivermectin, which she stated did not work against Covid-19.
As a result, the use of Ivermectin to cure Covid-19 was stopped and Covid cases exploded with deaths increasing ten-fold.
Point 56 states: “That your misleading tweet on May 10, 2021, against the use of Ivermectin had the effect of the State of Tamil Nadu withdrawing Ivermectin from the protocol on May 11, 2021, just a day after the Tamil Nadu government had indicated the same for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. (Feature photo: WHO Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan)
Specific charges included the running of a disinformation campaign against Ivermectin and issuing statements in social and mainstream media to wrongfully influence the public against the use of Ivermectin despite the existence of large amounts of clinical data showing its profound effectiveness in both prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
In particular, the Indian Bar brief referenced the peer-reviewed publications and evidence compiled by the ten-member Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) group and the 65-member British Ivermectin Recommendation Development (BIRD) panel headed by WHO consultant and meta-analysis expert Dr. Tess Lawrie.”
Will Fauci, Walensky, and “Thalidomide Janet” Woodcock see justice?
Thanks to Grandmaintexas for finding this amazing video, which I am promoting to a post, so that other bloggers and websites might see it and pick it up.
Most of us are familiar with all the elite names, but we really don’t understand even a tiny fraction of how, precisely, they relate to each other.
We don’t understand how their NETWORK operates. Not really.
What’s truly surprising is how simple it all is, when presented clearly.
While the information in this 1-hour video is skeletal, it is essential, core-cutting, and brilliantly presented. It provides a FRAMEWORK that PROVES how the different players in the elite relate to each other.
It’s both FASCINATING and EMPOWERING.
And it’s EXTREMELY Q and “Great Awakening”, and you WILL see why.
Somebody wants you to see this and STAND THE FUCK UP.
You will NEVER, EVER back down when confronted about the Rothschilds or George Soros as “conspiracy theories” after you watch this. You will LAUGH at anybody who tries to pretend these elite scumbags are not key players in the problems we face. You will know HOW they are affecting us, and that it is NOT good.
You will understand WHY they’re doing what they’re doing.
WHY they did what they did on January Sixth.
To call somebody a “Soros D.A.” will mean something – that she’s a SHOE-SHINE GIRL of the elite.
OK, to be honest I had Zero plans to write this post when I woke up “today”. In fact I’d been hoping to take advantage of my solo weekend to wrap up a post or two I’ve had in draft mode for months, but it appears that they’ll have to still wait. My hunters will be home soon…
This journey started out by reading Carl’s beautiful Sunday post.
Being very moved by the teaching he shared I wanted to look up the source material by John Piper AND finally came to a page that appears to contain much, or even all, that Carl shared, here:
In the course of searching for the actual message, & not just other people’s blog posts about Piper’s teaching that was apparently given at some type of conference, a few interesting links popped up. One looked to be addressing how seemingly Piper weighed in on the 2020 election & from the couple lines of text visible at the search may have spoken against Trump. I was curious so went to read that article too.
What a surprise to discover that the article was more about promoting the vax from the pulpit rather than steering people away from Trump during the stolen election. Hmmm
OK, so this post is NOT trying to attack John Piper as a man, a Christian, nor as a theologian. I’m trying to steer clear of my own biases, which is obviously impossible. In reading the search engine thumbnail descriptions it appears that Piper is affiliated with the Baptist church, which makes my “legalism radar” perk up. I’m just being honest, I have issues with legalism that go way back & have a (possibly misplaced) perception that Baptist takes might hover in the legalism domain…so grain of salt going forward here…
Here are a couple places where I’ve addressed legalism, & the other end of the spectrum, the prosperity gospel, for context on some of my thinking in these arenas…
So, back to the issue at hand. I like to think of myself as a Truth-seeker AND a Truth-teller. So let’s see if we can unearth some Truth in the controversy before us, namely shilling for the vax from the pulpit. Whom the Son sets free is Free indeed!
Let’s look into John Knox’s Not The Bee article a bit first. Per his opening remarks he appears to be a Conservative Christian, who is perhaps comfortable with MAGA & Trump’s leadership.
“I’m not here to slander John Piper. He’s a brother-in-Christ and a man who has, by all accounts, picked up his cross daily to preach the hope of Christ and Christ crucified to a broken world.
With that being said, Piper has come to some odd conclusions in recent years, starting most notably with the idea that voting for the worldly bravado of Donald Trump was just a [sic] morally wrong as the utter institutional corruption, unfettered support of abortion, and woke totalitarianism of Joe Biden.”
Let’s dive into Piper’s perspective without immediately referring to Knox’s take & see what might jump out…
Here is his opening & yikes he’s seeming like a Pro-vaxer from the outset, not just pro-freedom (in Christ).
“My aim in this article is to encourage Christians to be vaccinated, if they can do so with a good conscience and judicious medical warrant.
The people I have especially in view are those who are not vaccinated because of fear of being out of step withpeople they respect, and in step with people they don’t admire. My message to them is simple: You are free.
So, I am not talking directly to everybody. If the shoe fits, put it on, check your conscience, consult your doctor, and go get vaccinated. If it doesn’t, go tearfully and cheerfully on your way. Tearfully, because over 4.5 million people have died from COVID-19 worldwide (including over 700,000 Americans). And cheerfully, because Christ makes it miraculously possible to love people by being “sorrowful yet always rejoicing” (2 Corinthians 6:10).”
So I’m pretty close to an anti-vaxer for numerous reasons now. It would be nearly impossible to read consistently here at The Q Tree & not be Extremely Concerned about the many & manifold dangers of the so-called Covid vaccine. Obviously Piper is coming from a very different worldview, though we Might be somewhat similar in our Christian biblical foundational viewpoints. Some of what he said above strikes me as manipulative, which is a big red flag to me!
Below is a comment written before the Plannedemic was on the scene with some vaccine concerns I expressed elsewhere, for perspective, but we’ll just stick with the Covid “vax” concerns today:
So Piper cites a number of sources that all seem to show that being unvax’d is Way more dangerous than being vax’d. Obviously here at the Q-Tree we consider material much more wider afield & also take into account the numerous reports, medical, scientific, & anecdotal that expose Much of the danger of the clot shots. It appears that Piper is unaware of this alternative & alarming material. Here’s his take, shudder:
When people respond to this increasingly clear reality by pointing to untrustworthy and disreputable government and medical leaders, I respond, “That’s a non sequitur.” The team called “vaccination” just made a first down, even if monkeys are holding the chains. For friends around the world who don’t know American football, that means a win is a win even if all the coaches and referees are incompetent.
Piper’s take on freedom is interesting & I encourage you to read it for yourself. He then lists a series of considerations to ponder as one decides for the shot or not. He doesn’t elaborate on those issues, even the implications of fetal cell lines, though he does link to a YouTube video on the topic. I have no idea if Piper is a pro-lifer or not, but at least he brings up that fetal tissue issue, though by implication doesn’t apparently consider it an impediment to Christians taking the “vax”. He appears to have made up his mind to take the shot & seems to be freeing, or even persuading, his parishioners to do the same–concerning!
Now let’s consider Knox’s other cited material that is opposed to Piper’s take before returning to Knox.
James White, the author of the above, pulls no punches & calls Piper out for his writings AND remarks on the election & the shot! Here is White pointing out what many Q-Treepers might consider to be quite obvious.
God’s ownership of our bodies implies our own stewardship thereof, which is why many of us take serious issue with experimental genetic therapies with record-breaking reports of adverse reactions, including death, with no long-term studies relating to safety (cancers, fertility), for a disease with an average mortality age above life expectancy and a mortality rate of less than 0.5%.
Further from White, bold is my take:
…there is the arrogance of the secular worldview that actually leads man to believe he is wise enough, while remaining in rebellion against his Creator, to meddle with the very essence of his being (genetics). When such arrogance is joined with a lust for power and dominion, it becomes deadly.
So the bulk of the article, comprising numerous biblical citations about freedom, is not the issue. Instead, the problem is found in the section that reads like a Pfizer promotional advertisement, and then the application portion at the end.
White’s wisdom & Piper’s naivety are on display in this next quote from White (not italicised to preserve his presentation):
“From late October of 2020, as word about the technology that is behind the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines came out, I have stated that I would consider use of these vaccine [sic] once three and five year safety studies had been completed. Prior to 2020, this would have been considered a sober, even mundane position to take. You do not do genetic manipulation at “warp speed,” especially when the threat you are seeking to counteract is one that almost always requires multiple co-morbidities and results in an age of death equal to or above life expectancy. But we do not have such data, and with how this one particular disease has been handled, we have good grounds to wonder if we will ever have geniune [sic] data in the future. The VAERS database, maintained by the CDC, has catalogued record numbers of negative results from the vaccines, so it is now regularly dismissed as “untested” (the irony is palpable) by the media. The amazing reality that we are now counting deaths with the Covid-19 as the same as deaths from Covid-19 has resulted in massively inflated numbers, numbers Dr. Piper repeats without comment, and uses in his final argumentation as well. The fact is we are playing with dangerous and unknown long-term impacts with these types of experimental1 therapies. Dr. Piper does not even acknowledge this reality.”
Here is the material for the footnote #1 above & a reference to further work by White (an 8 page pdf). This appears to be a level of truth AND integrity to be much admired & emulated, yet too rarely seen!
1 Yes, they remain experimental. The FDA approved the Pfizer jab without public comment, fundamentally altering the entire process. Video exists of Anthony Fauci in 2019 (Milken Institute found on CSPAN2) lamenting how long it would take to get these kinds of vaccines approved. Given his own role in the Wuhan lab, gain-of-function funding, etc., the reality of the situation is clear.
“Many studies are now showing efficacy rates below 50% and dropping for these vaccines. But the UK report is even more dangerous. We are now seeing that the vaccines are inhibiting the natural ability to produce antibodies against not just the well-known “spike protein,” but against the shell of the virus as well. Our bodies provide not only a much more robust immunity (as all studies are showing, and which Dr. Piper misrepresented when he said natural immunity is “as effective as vaccination immunity” when it is actually 13 to 27 times greater), but it is a much wider immunity, responding to more of the structure of the virus. This study is telling us that vaccination degrades our natural immunity, leaving us even more exposed to future infection.”
And this treat from White on Piper!
“He then provides one of the most disappointing lines in the article: “You have pondered the likelihood and unlikelihood of conspiratorial conjectures.” Without defining his meaning, or providing examples, Piper does us no favors. Is the recognition of the cooperation of Big Tech and Big Pharma with the extreme leftists in political power resulting in the transfer of literally trillions of dollars of wealth a “conspiratorial conjecture”? Are the banishments from social media of medical experts who are warning about dangers fictional? We are not told.”
Winding down toward his conclusion White displays both insight AND wisdom:
“It is undeniable that the vaccines are not a solo issue. They are coming to us after mask mandates and church closures and pastoral imprisonments and before the next onerous demands from governments drunk on the power that inevitably comes from the rise of secularism. The secular state is far worse than the ancient pagan context of Rome (which was bad enough), for by its very definition it must be ultimate in all things as there is no Creator. Why Piper does not see the role the vaccines play in the overall demands of the newly empowered totalitarianism I cannot say, but it is not the first time he has missed the role a particular element plays in the whole. Mean, arrogant tweets are, in the overall scheme of things, significantly less important than the fact that the Biden regime is intent upon forcing your children to celebrate drag queens and likewise just as intent upon taking control of every aspect of your life to force you to live in denial of the lordship of Christ. What Piper has missed, badly, is the role these vaccinations play in a much bigger, much more basic movement into a technologically based, chemically and medically controlled secular totalitarianism.”
Obviously it is easier to resonate with White, at least for me. So let’s return to Knox. Piper is presented as
“…either unable or unwilling to see past the veneer of Everything is Fine™ that’s been peddled by the leftist politicians, the woke media, the “progressive” academy, and the neo-Marxist Big Tech offices.”
Knox reminds us to consider the source AND question conclusions drawn from faulty data & assumptions:
“As a math professor once told me, even if your calculations are 100% correct, your solution will be insanely wrong if your starting premises are off!”
Honestly I did enjoy reading all three pieces. Knox was my intro to the other two & his framing & take is invaluable. Piper was who I’d been searching for in appreciation of the Wonderful Teaching Carl shared with us today (now yesterday). Piper was shallow on facts but deeper on scripture in his writing compared to what the other two shared, but both Knox & White were addressing Piper’s factual fallacies more than his biblical prowess. Because I was reading Piper’s article as more of a vax skeptic, I found some of his scriptural insights to work on me in the opposite way than where he was going in his applications. White was factual, truthful, & masterfully insightful on both human nature & the creeping totalitarianism in our societies. I resonated with his take & hope to read further of how he also might “rightly divide the Word of Truth”!
I guess I would prefer to just hear from Piper on scripture, not social issues. Because White & Knox are seemingly aligned with my worldview they are more comfortable reads to me when addressing social &/or cultural concerns. Knox is an easier, quicker read, so he’s a good place to start. White dives in deep & dispenses truth, wisdom, & integrity quite liberally. Piper would do well to stick to biblical truth & could expand his sources of information so he has a better grasp of what is Really happening in the world today.
Now let’s turn to the reason for this post’s title, since many Shepherds (pastors & other leaders) are seemingly leading their flocks of Sheep to the metaphorical, if not literal, slaughter.
I’m going to share Ezekiel 34 in a moment, but this is how thinking along those lines developed, in the comments section on this excellent post by Wolfmoon:
There are markers in the vaccine, AND they are testing (using useless PCR) for infection, AND they are taking DNA.
All bases are covered. The sheep will see the “testing for viruses” part and be satisfied. The lions will see the markers and the DNA theft and walk majestically away.
They are flailing around trying anything they can think of to trick the lions into submission.
But I am a lion, and not subject to such gaslighting trickery.11 Reply
EXACTLY! That’s what I’m thinking. The small cheese was the vaccine in as many as possible. The BIG CHEESE was “everybody gives their DNA to the globonazis just to travel”. The really big cheese behind the scenes is “now we can modify and study every single person like a lab animal”. When we talked about being “controls”, they rubbed their hands in glee. “We can use that! We can surely use that!” The trick THERE is to foil that plan – to say “No, KlauSS. No DNA for you!”
One of the things they would surely be testing for would be immune function. Shedding. OMG. There is so much modification and study of us possible.
cleverly disguised as “peace and safety” for all !
and coming soon…

sounds like mark.
but we’re not quite there just yet.
the UN’s Sustainablity crap + the 2030 Agenda + the WEF + the Vatican + the Covid/Climate Change tyranny…and the global compliance to all of that…is creating Alinsky style chaos.
they will need all the chaos they can manufacture…so that…
the machiavellian psychopath man of universal “peace” can show up, and quell all the chaos…
by then, ppl of the global village will have become rendered compliant enough so as to readily take the mark which will require, not just relinquishing our privacy, but something much worse : our souls.

We would be stronger if the Church leaders around the globe including Pop would stand with God’s people. They are not for a second time in history the past 80 years. They failed God and humanity and will be judged more harshly for selling out God and Christ for a lousy bag of silver.4 Reply
The whole 34th chapter of Ezekiel is profoundly applicable Right Now!
Ezekiel 34 New International Version The Lord Will Be Israel’s Shepherd 34 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? 3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.
7 “‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered and has become food for all the wild animals, and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock, 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.
Let’s add the rest of Ezekiel 34 (that wasn’t included in my original comment above) for perspective:
11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.
17 “‘As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats. 18 Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? 19 Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?
20 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says to them: See, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21 Because you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak sheep with your horns until you have driven them away, 22 I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another. 23 I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend them; he will tend them and be their shepherd. 24 I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them. I the Lord have spoken.
25 “‘I will make a covenant of peace with them and rid the land of savage beasts so that they may live in the wilderness and sleep in the forests in safety. 26 I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing.[a] I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. 27 The trees will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops; the people will be secure in their land. They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them. 28 They will no longer be plundered by the nations, nor will wild animals devour them. They will live in safety, and no one will make them afraid. 29 I will provide for them a land renowned for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations. 30 Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. 31 You are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

VC housekeeping note, footnotes from Bible Gateway show up as numbered here though they are lettered within the biblical text, please make adjustments (a=1, etc.).
I was going to expound on that passage but I think at this point it might be best for the Word of God to speak to your own heart as He wills…
Here is an example of a church that has gone overboard in the wrong direction, way beyond Piper’s vax persuasion. They wouldn’t allow the unvax’d to enter nor apparently work there, even those with medical or religious exemptions. I really hope the majority of the remaining flock got saline instead of the real clot shot!
Closer to home there have been disturbing trends. Our old home church seemed to go pretty overboard on Covid craziness. Earlier we visited to support a family member’s music ministry. At that time masks were strictly & personally enforced by deacons or elders, significantly impeding worship AND fellowship. They had Covid stations w/ hand sanitizer & masks positioned by entrances & strategically elsewhere in the building. Thankfully, over the summer the restrictions were relaxed as in people were encouraged to wear masks rather than “required”. At our daughter’s wedding there in August only a very small minority, like 2% of attendees, were pretty consistently masking.
My parents’ very large & prosperous church went through a season of only having online services. They spent exorbitant amounts of money to install various health measures including outfitting multiple gathering rooms w/ microbe killing lights, I believe. Since they also operate a Christian School they may have been proceeding with an abundance of caution. The online services were a blessing to my parents who may continue to do church that way when health or weather issues make attendance an hour away from home much more challenging. More churches having an online presence AND broadcasting services can be one of the seeming few positive changes since Covidiocy has mesmerized global sheep & tantalized totalitarians!
My husband has been very activie in music & leadership in a local church that might best be described as “seeker-friendly” & more youth oriented. This church is part of an extended church plant ministry in Michigan & most of the leadership are on the young side too. Michael, my husband, got one of our sons involved in music ministry there & our daughter-in-law was active in the children’s ministry. M & son got quite close to a Conservative Christian church employee who grew increasingly frustrated with various “woke” aspects of leadership that he was unable to sway whatsoever, even though he was on the church board. He finally moved out of state, largely to escape what was becoming toxic church culture.
Our son chose to leave because he couldn’t stand the mask mandates that were pretty heavy-handed for many months. Our daughter-in-law lost her motivation when they shut down all of the children’s ministry areas due to Covid lies. This church has had an extensive youth & children’s ministry & much outreach to the community. What had been a welcoming atmosphere, complete w/ complementary coffee & treats, turned into a desert of fear, in so many ways. Talk about serious mixed messaging…
My husband’s experiences with music there were becoming so frustrating compared to pre-covid freedoms. Significant enforced masking. No access to normal musician hang out rooms before or between services–much interpersonal ministry had occurred spontaneously in that environment previously. No longer were refreshments provided for the worship team (nor the church at large, for that matter). In fact they often had to wait in their cars when they weren’t on stage or in the service. Michael would hit a nearby drive-through & pick up cheap breakfast food to share with his team but it wasn’t even close to the same.
I attended service there at Easter & M had to RSVP so the church would have a head count & not get overcrowded. I’m not sure if they were attempting to limit numbers due to “social distancing” or what. Our son wasn’t able to make the RSVP cut so he stayed home on Easter, again. I refused to wear a mask & nobody called me on it, which was a relief. There were Many empty chairs so our son could likely have come too but the “restrictions” made the concept of joyfully coming into the House of the Lord pretty foreign–Tragic! Compared to the previous Easter, when virtually All Michigan churches were closed, this was an “improvement”. What a very twisted way to disrupt the celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection, the very lynchpin of the Church’s existence. Surely just accidental tyranny–NOT!
Although my husband Loves being a part of that music ministry AND has developed a number of quality relationships that have extended beyond just fellowship within the church walls, he has stated on numerous occasions that if that church ramps up the Covid crap again he is going to have to leave.
Churches bowing to government lies, tyranny, AND deception is transforming the natural areas of ministry that should be unfettered and subject to the leading of the Holy Spirit, Not the permission of The State! To see a pastor, like Piper, shilling for the death shots is beyond horrifying to me. Having ubiquitous masking & promoting fears & isolation & a lack of human contact (touch, hugging, holding hands to pray, shaking hands to greet others, laying hands on others in prayer &/or fellowship, facial expressions, etc.) are all destructive of the church & in effect are putting the Light of Christ under a metaphorical bushel.
Early in the Scamdemic when our dictator in the Governor’s mansion (Gretchen Half-Whitmer, to quote Trump) banned churches from being opened, or even people leaving their own households, we had a House Church service in our home. People from Four different households attended (family & pending family) and we were technically in violation of some illegitimate “mandate”. It was joyful, liberating, moving, godly, AND surreal. I wondered if we were, as a society, on the cusp of seeing the church driven underground, like in China or ancient Rome. Honestly our home church service was more meaningful & powerful with God’s presence than Any church building service I’d experienced in Many Years (my issues, not necessarily the church’s “fault”).
If driven underground The Church, The True Bride of Christ, will survive AND thrive…& suffer significantly…
In contrast to some of the above, other family members have been blessed to discover a vibrant & growing church about an hour away that did not bow the knee at Any level to the “pandemic” paralysis. Apparently this church has been on the front lines in fighting against illegitimate powers & even has some legal eagles in the congregation that have contributed significantly to clipping the Nazgul’s wings (Gretchen Whitmer). Standing up to tyranny may be One of the key factors why this church is growing so much right now.
I went to the church’s website to see if any of their Covid “activism” featured prominently, and it did not. Here is a link to an article from earlier in the scamdemic that quotes the pastor & gives context to his decision to keep their church open against manifest pressure from the system. It’s interesting given our hindsight view on much of what was happening then.
Another distant family member, on the other side of the state, has recounted how her small community church has fared during the Covid manufactured “crisis”. Her church stayed mostly open, didn’t mask, & didn’t do social distancing. Many people got sick AND now have natural immunity. Many congregants are well-versed in alternative healing approaches to Covid & have been helping to bring healing to their community whenever the illness kicks in. I’ve shared some of her approaches here before & hope to do so more fully in another post…eventually.
Alarmingly on Detroit area TV there are a number of pastors featured prominently in Michigan propaganda pieces trying to still convince the masses of the importance of taking the clot shot. Every time I see one I think of Margaret Sanger’s desire to keep the “uppity” “undesirables” from thinking for themselves & not getting abortions. Basically the de-population agenda is still finding “spiritual shills” to sell their snake oil!
OK I went looking at Michigan.gov to see if I could find an example commercial featuring a faith leader & found this document on fetal cells & the “vax”. At the bottom are links to various faith organizations statements on the topic. I would guess the state isn’t linking to anyone who objects to the “vax” but am not taking the time to check. All of the links say Catholic or Vatican except the Charlotte Lozier Institute.
It looks like in order to view one needs to download the file. The top one tries to convince pregnant women the shot is safe. The seventh video features one of the pastors lamenting people dying alone. From the second from the bottom on page 2, link below, there is a spot on “keeping the faith”.
Just even considering this material makes me feel like I need to take a shower. This is like the PR campaign to convince people to willingly enter the Nazi cattle cars & showers, bringing about their own destruction!
Here’s an example of the kind of pastoral leadership I would much rather see!
Here’s the larger scene preceding that one:
I’ve spoken/written numerous times about movie-quoting as a language in our family, including at my inaugural Q-Tree post immediately below. Comments are closed now, but well worth reading. If someone might care to comment there is a copy of that post on my main blog, Special Connections, also below.
Oh for a protective, patriotic pastor’s heart to arise in these dark days! Here is a possibility. I haven’t watched this video in full just share it for your consideration…It’s almost 2 hours & from earlier this month. Interestingly You Tube won’t allow that video to embed…hmm…just a glitch in the matrix surely!
Here is an appropriate warning from scripture for those who presume to teach others.
James 3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly
I went looking for some scriptures that might be applicable & encouraging in these dark days, here is truth!
2 Samuel 22 New International Version
David’s Song of Praise
22 David sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. 2 He said:
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; 3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield[a] and the horn[b] of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent people you save me.
4 “I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies. 5 The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. 6 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.
7 “In my distress I called to the Lord; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears. 8 The earth trembled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens[c] shook; they trembled because he was angry. 9 Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it. 10 He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet. 11 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared[d] on the wings of the wind. 12 He made darkness his canopy around him— the dark[e] rain clouds of the sky. 13 Out of the brightness of his presence bolts of lightning blazed forth. 14 The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. 15 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them. 16 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of breath from his nostrils.
17 “He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. 18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. 19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. 20 He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.
21 “The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me. 22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I am not guilty of turning from my God. 23 All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees. 24 I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin. 25 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness[f] in his sight.
26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, 27 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd. 28 You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low. 29 You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light. 30 With your help I can advance against a troop[g]; with my God I can scale a wall.
31 “As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. 32 For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? 33 It is God who arms me with strength[h] and keeps my way secure. 34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights. 35 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 36 You make your saving help my shield; your help has made[i] me great. 37 You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.
38 “I pursued my enemies and crushed them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. 39 I crushed them completely, and they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet. 40 You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me. 41 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes. 42 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the Lord, but he did not answer. 43 I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.
44 “You have delivered me from the attacks of the peoples; you have preserved me as the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me, 45 foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me. 46 They all lose heart; they come trembling[j] from their strongholds.
47 “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior! 48 He is the God who avenges me, who puts the nations under me, 49 who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me. 50 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.
51 “He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
8 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. 9 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. 10 He provides rain for the earth; he sends water on the countryside. 11 The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety. 12 He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. 13 He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away. 14 Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noon they grope as in the night. 15 He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful. 16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
17 “Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.[a] 18 For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal. 19 From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will touch you. 20 In famine he will deliver you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword. 21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes. 22 You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the wild animals. 23 For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you. 24 You will know that your tent is secure; you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing. 25 You will know that your children will be many, and your descendants like the grass of the earth. 26 You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season.
27 “We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself.”

As you can see from the numerous scriptures shared above God’s Word is full of hope for us all! Please dive in for yourself & see how God might speak directly to you in your hour of need from His Word!!!
Here is the passage I was originally searching for, Absolutely Applicable to pastors, leaders, AND to us all!
Proverbs 24:10-12 New International Version
Saying 25
10 If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength! 11 Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. 12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?
God grant us the wisdom, grace, AND strength to speak the truth in love AND to rescue those who are “staggering toward slaughter”.
Well God Bless you AND thank you for reading along with these thoughts today. I hope you are encouraged, inspired, AND challenged to go forth boldly proclaiming grace And truth. In Jesus Love, Valerie
VC note on use of AND throughout. This is a bit of an inside joke at The Q-Tree as Wolfmoon is fond of using the term “AND logic”, as in many times things aren’t either or but more like both AND…
PS, if this post has blessed you an earlier post reflecting on God’s intervention in our battles is below:
Please find more and better copies of this street-corner speech!!!
I will add them here.
Yeah, we know this stuff, but this is like the “check-mark red pill” that seals the deal and shows the URGENCY of turning this shit over. This old boy puts it all together in a way that simply cannot be denied.
We have to stop it COLD.
What I want people to do is to IDENTIFY all things we need to do RIGOROUSLY in order to save businesses and stop this process.
We have to begin IMMEDIATELY.
I want TWO classes of actions / inactions.
(1) What must WE as individuals do or not do.
(2) What must politicians do or not do.
The LATTER (and how it affects the FORMER) is how we will TEST the WHEAT from the CHAFF.
Better hope that TEAM TRUMP is paying attention. Because WE ARE.
Sundance has a great article up right now, in which he shows why his warning about Western COVID authoritarianism is coming true, by highlighting a speech by Vladimir Putin.
Let me back up a bit.
Sundance has been saying that the increasing authoritarianism and brutality of the Western “democracies” over COVID mandates, is placing those countries (including the USA) in the dangerous position of giving real credibility to human rights criticisms by Russia, China and Iran.
He has ALSO been saying that this unearned credibility has significant geopolitical consequence.
Sundance has WARNED, that as Western criticisms of Russia and China grow more hypocritical, those same Western countries will NOT be able to object, much less react, to aggressive moves by Russia and China.
I urge you to go read Sundance’s thoughts – UNTIL you get to the translated transcript of Vladimir Putin’s amazing speech. Sundance only provides the most highly relevant part of the speech.
I want you to come back here, and read THE WHOLE DAMN SPEECH.
I will save my thoughts for the end. It’s much more profitable if you read his speech yourselves, and come to the same conclusions independently, which I am sure you will.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin:
Ladies and gentlemen,
To begin with, I would like to thank you for coming to Russia and taking part in the Valdai Club events.
As always, during these meetings you raise pressing issues and hold comprehensive discussions of these issues that, without exaggeration, matter for people around the world. Once again, the key theme of the forum was put in a straightforward, I would even say, point-blank manner: Global Shake-up in the 21st Century: The Individual, Values and the State.
Indeed, we are living in an era of great change. If I may, by tradition, I will offer my views with regard to the agenda that you have come up with.
In general, this phrase, “to live in an era of great change,” may seem trite since we use it so often. Also, this era of change began quite a long time ago, and changes have become part of everyday life. Hence, the question: are they worth focusing on? I agree with those who made the agenda for these meetings; of course they are.
In recent decades, many people have cited a Chinese proverb. The Chinese people are wise, and they have many thinkers and valuable thoughts that we can still use today. One of them, as you may know, says, “God forbid living in a time of change.” But we are already living in it, whether we like it or not, and these changes are becoming deeper and more fundamental. But let us consider another Chinese wisdom: the word “crisis” consists of two hieroglyphs – there are probably representatives of the People’s Republic of China in the audience, and they will correct me if I have it wrong – but, two hieroglyphs, “danger” and “opportunity.” And as we say here in Russia, “fight difficulties with your mind, and fight dangers with your experience.”
Of course, we must be aware of the danger and be ready to counter it, and not just one threat but many diverse threats that can arise in this era of change. However, it is no less important to recall a second component of the crisis – opportunities that must not be missed, all the more so since the crisis we are facing is conceptual and even civilisation-related. This is basically a crisis of approaches and principles that determine the very existence of humans on Earth, but we will have to seriously revise them in any event. The question is where to move, what to give up, what to revise or adjust. In saying this, I am convinced that it is necessary to fight for real values, upholding them in every way.
Humanity entered into a new era about three decades ago when the main conditions were created for ending military-political and ideological confrontation. I am sure you have talked a lot about this in this discussion club. Our Foreign Minister also talked about it, but nevertheless I would like to repeat several things.
A search for a new balance, sustainable relations in the social, political, economic, cultural and military areas and support for the world system was launched at that time. We were looking for this support but must say that we did not find it, at least so far. Meanwhile, those who felt like the winners after the end of the Cold War (we have also spoken about this many times) and thought they climbed Mount Olympus soon discovered that the ground was falling away underneath even there, and this time it was their turn, and nobody could “stop this fleeting moment” no matter how fair it seemed.
In general, it must have seemed that we adjusted to this continuous inconstancy, unpredictability and permanent state of transition, but this did not happen either.
I would like to add that the transformation that we are seeing and are part of is of a different calibre than the changes that repeatedly occurred in human history, at least those we know about. This is not simply a shift in the balance of forces or scientific and technological breakthroughs, though both are also taking place. Today, we are facing systemic changes in all directions – from the increasingly complicated geophysical condition of our planet to a more paradoxical interpretation of what a human is and what the reasons for his existence are.
Let us look around. And I will say this again: I will allow myself to express a few thoughts that I sign on to.
Firstly, climate change and environmental degradation are so obvious that even the most careless people can no longer dismiss them. One can continue to engage in scientific debates about the mechanisms behind the ongoing processes, but it is impossible to deny that these processes are getting worse, and something needs to be done. Natural disasters such as droughts, floods, hurricanes, and tsunamis have almost become the new normal, and we are getting used to them. Suffice it to recall the devastating, tragic floods in Europe last summer, the fires in Siberia – there are a lot of examples. Not only in Siberia – our neighbours in Turkey have also had wildfires, and the United States, and other places on the American continent. It sometimes seems that any geopolitical, scientific and technical, or ideological rivalry becomes pointless in this context, if the winners will have not enough air to breathe or nothing to drink.
The coronavirus pandemic has become another reminder of how fragile our community is, how vulnerable it is, and our most important task is to ensure humanity a safe existence and resilience. To increase our chance of survival in the face of cataclysms, we absolutely need to rethink how we go about our lives, how we run our households, how cities develop or how they should develop; we need to reconsider economic development priorities of entire states. I repeat, safety is one of our main imperatives, in any case it has become obvious now, and anyone who tries to deny this will have to later explain why they were wrong and why they were unprepared for the crises and shocks whole nations are facing.
Second. The socioeconomic problems facing humankind have worsened to the point where, in the past, they would trigger worldwide shocks, such as world wars or bloody social cataclysms. Everyone is saying that the current model of capitalism which underlies the social structure in the overwhelming majority of countries, has run its course and no longer offers a solution to a host of increasingly tangled differences.
Everywhere, even in the richest countries and regions, the uneven distribution of material wealth has exacerbated inequality, primarily, inequality of opportunities both within individual societies and at the international level. I mentioned this formidable challenge in my remarks at the Davos Forum earlier this year. No doubt, these problems threaten us with major and deep social divisions.
Furthermore, a number of countries and even entire regions are regularly hit by food crises. We will probably discuss this later, but there is every reason to believe that this crisis will become worse in the near future and may reach extreme forms. There are also shortages of water and electricity (we will probably cover this today as well), not to mention poverty, high unemployment rates or lack of adequate healthcare.
Lagging countries are fully aware of that and are losing faith in the prospects of ever catching up with the leaders. Disappointment spurs aggression and pushes people to join the ranks of extremists. People in these countries have a growing sense of unfulfilled and failed expectations and the lack of any opportunities not only for themselves, but for their children, as well. This is what makes them look for better lives and results in uncontrolled migration, which, in turn, creates fertile ground for social discontent in more prosperous countries. I do not need to explain anything to you, since you can see everything with your own eyes and are, probably, versed on these matters even better than I.
As I noted earlier, prosperous leading powers have other pressing social problems, challenges and risks in ample supply, and many among them are no longer interested in fighting for influence since, as they say, they already have enough on their plates. The fact that society and young people in many countries have overreacted in a harsh and even aggressive manner to measures to combat the coronavirus showed – and I want to emphasise this, I hope someone has already mentioned this before me at other venues – so, I think that this reaction showed that the pandemic was just a pretext: the causes for social irritation and frustration run much deeper.
I have another important point to make. The pandemic, which, in theory, was supposed to rally the people in the fight against this massive common threat, has instead become a divisive rather than a unifying factor. There are many reasons for that, but one of the main ones is that they started looking for solutions to problems among the usual approaches – a variety of them, but still the old ones, but they just do not work. Or, to be more precise, they do work, but often and oddly enough, they worsen the existing state of affairs.
By the way, Russia has repeatedly called for, and I will repeat this, stopping these inappropriate ambitions and for working together. We will probably talk about this later but it is clear what I have in mind. We are talking about the need to counter the coronavirus infection together. But nothing changes; everything remains the same despite the humanitarian considerations. I am not referring to Russia now, let’s leave the sanctions against Russia for now; I mean the sanctions that remain in place against those states that badly need international assistance. Where are the humanitarian fundamentals of Western political thought? It appears there is nothing there, just idle talk. Do you understand? This is what seems to be on the surface.
Furthermore, the technological revolution, impressive achievements in artificial intelligence, electronics, communications, genetics, bioengineering, and medicine open up enormous opportunities, but at the same time, in practical terms, they raise philosophical, moral and spiritual questions that were until recently the exclusive domain of science fiction writers. What will happen if machines surpass humans in the ability to think? Where is the limit of interference in the human body beyond which a person ceases being himself and turns into some other entity? What are the general ethical limits in the world where the potential of science and machines are becoming almost boundless? What will this mean for each of us, for our descendants, our nearest descendants – our children and grandchildren?
These changes are gaining momentum, and they certainly cannot be stopped because they are objective as a rule. All of us will have to deal with the consequences regardless of our political systems, economic condition or prevailing ideology.
Verbally, all states talk about their commitment to the ideals of cooperation and a willingness to work together for resolving common problems but, unfortunately, these are just words. In reality, the opposite is happening, and the pandemic has served to fuel the negative trends that emerged long ago and are now only getting worse. The approach based on the proverb, “your own shirt is closer to the body,” has finally become common and is now no longer even concealed. Moreover, this is often even a matter of boasting and brandishing. Egotistic interests prevail over the notion of the common good.
Of course, the problem is not just the ill will of certain states and notorious elites. It is more complicated than that, in my opinion. In general, life is seldom divided into black and white. Every government, every leader is primarily responsible to his own compatriots, obviously. The main goal is to ensure their security, peace and prosperity. So, international, transnational issues will never be as important for a national leadership as domestic stability. In general, this is normal and correct.
We need to face the fact the global governance institutions are not always effective and their capabilities are not always up to the challenge posed by the dynamics of global processes. In this sense, the pandemic could help – it clearly showed which institutions have what it takes and which need fine-tuning.
The re-alignment of the balance of power presupposes a redistribution of shares in favour of rising and developing countries that until now felt left out. To put it bluntly, the Western domination of international affairs, which began several centuries ago and, for a short period, was almost absolute in the late 20th century, is giving way to a much more diverse system.
This transformation is not a mechanical process and, in its own way, one might even say, is unparalleled. Arguably, political history has no examples of a stable world order being established without a big war and its outcomes as the basis, as was the case after World War II. So, we have a chance to create an extremely favourable precedent. The attempt to create it after the end of the Cold War on the basis of Western domination failed, as we see. The current state of international affairs is a product of that very failure, and we must learn from this.
Some may wonder, what have we arrived at? We have arrived somewhere paradoxical. Just an example: for two decades, the most powerful nation in the world has been conducting military campaigns in two countries that it cannot be compared to by any standard. But in the end, it had to wind down operations without achieving a single goal that it had set for itself going in 20 years ago, and to withdraw from these countries causing considerable damage to others and itself. In fact, the situation has worsened dramatically.
But that is not the point. Previously, a war lost by one side meant victory for the other side, which took responsibility for what was happening. For example, the defeat of the United States in the Vietnam War, for example, did not make Vietnam a “black hole.” On the contrary, a successfully developing state arose there, which, admittedly, relied on the support of a strong ally. Things are different now: no matter who takes the upper hand, the war does not stop, but just changes form. As a rule, the hypothetical winner is reluctant or unable to ensure peaceful post-war recovery, and only worsens the chaos and the vacuum posing a danger to the world.
Colleagues,
What do you think are the starting points of this complex realignment process? Let me try to summarise the talking points.
First, the coronavirus pandemic has clearly shown that the international order is structured around nation states. By the way, recent developments have shown that global digital platforms – with all their might, which we could see from the internal political processes in the United States – have failed to usurp political or state functions. These attempts proved ephemeral. The US authorities, as I said, have immediately put the owners of these platforms in their place, which is exactly what is being done in Europe, if you just look at the size of the fines imposed on them and the demonopolisation measures being taken. You are aware of that.
In recent decades, many have tossed around fancy concepts claiming that the role of the state was outdated and outgoing. Globalisation supposedly made national borders an anachronism, and sovereignty an obstacle to prosperity. You know, I said it before and I will say it again. This is also what was said by those who attempted to open up other countries’ borders for the benefit of their own competitive advantages. This is what actually happened. And as soon as it transpired that someone somewhere is achieving great results, they immediately returned to closing borders in general and, first of all, their own customs borders and what have you, and started building walls. Well, were we supposed to not notice, or what? Everyone sees everything and everyone understands everything perfectly well. Of course, they do.
There is no point in disputing it anymore. It is obvious. But events, when we spoke about the need to open up borders, events, as I said, went in the opposite direction. Only sovereign states can effectively respond to the challenges of the times and the demands of the citizens. Accordingly, any effective international order should take into account the interests and capabilities of the state and proceed on that basis, and not try to prove that they should not exist. Furthermore, it is impossible to impose anything on anyone, be it the principles underlying the sociopolitical structure or values that someone, for their own reasons, has called universal. After all, it is clear that when a real crisis strikes, there is only one universal value left and that is human life, which each state decides for itself how best to protect based on its abilities, culture and traditions.
In this regard, I will again note how severe and dangerous the coronavirus pandemic has become. As we know, more than 4.9 million have died of it. These terrifying figures are comparable and even exceed the military losses of the main participants in World War I.
The second point I would like to draw your attention to is the scale of change that forces us to act extremely cautiously, if only for reasons of self-preservation. The state and society must not respond radically to qualitative shifts in technology, dramatic environmental changes or the destruction of traditional systems. It is easier to destroy than to create, as we all know. We in Russia know this very well, regrettably, from our own experience, which we have had several times.
Just over a century ago, Russia objectively faced serious problems, including because of the ongoing World War I, but its problems were not bigger and possibly even smaller or not as acute as the problems the other countries faced, and Russia could have dealt with its problems gradually and in a civilised manner. But revolutionary shocks led to the collapse and disintegration of a great power. The second time this happened 30 years ago, when a potentially very powerful nation failed to enter the path of urgently needed, flexible but thoroughly substantiated reforms at the right time, and as a result it fell victim to all kinds of dogmatists, both reactionary ones and the so-called progressives – all of them did their bit, all sides did.
These examples from our history allow us to say that revolutions are not a way to settle a crisis but a way to aggravate it. No revolution was worth the damage it did to the human potential.
Third. The importance of a solid support in the sphere of morals, ethics and values is increasing dramatically in the modern fragile world. In point of fact, values are a product, a unique product of cultural and historical development of any nation. The mutual interlacing of nations definitely enriches them, openness expands their horizons and allows them to take a fresh look at their own traditions. But the process must be organic, and it can never be rapid. Any alien elements will be rejected anyway, possibly bluntly. Any attempts to force one’s values on others with an uncertain and unpredictable outcome can only further complicate a dramatic situation and usually produce the opposite reaction and an opposite from the intended result.
We look in amazement at the processes underway in the countries which have been traditionally looked at as the standard-bearers of progress. Of course, the social and cultural shocks that are taking place in the United States and Western Europe are none of our business; we are keeping out of this. Some people in the West believe that an aggressive elimination of entire pages from their own history, “reverse discrimination” against the majority in the interests of a minority, and the demand to give up the traditional notions of mother, father, family and even gender, they believe that all of these are the mileposts on the path towards social renewal.
Listen, I would like to point out once again that they have a right to do this, we are keeping out of this. But we would like to ask them to keep out of our business as well. We have a different viewpoint, at least the overwhelming majority of Russian society – it would be more correct to put it this way – has a different opinion on this matter. We believe that we must rely on our own spiritual values, our historical tradition and the culture of our multiethnic nation.
The advocates of so-called ‘social progress’ believe they are introducing humanity to some kind of a new and better consciousness. Godspeed, hoist the flags as we say, go right ahead. The only thing that I want to say now is that their prescriptions are not new at all. It may come as a surprise to some people, but Russia has been there already. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said that they would change existing ways and customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total rejection of family (we had that, too), encouragement to inform on loved ones – all this was proclaimed progress and, by the way, was widely supported around the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today. By the way, the Bolsheviks were absolutely intolerant of opinions other than theirs.
This, I believe, should call to mind some of what we are witnessing now. Looking at what is happening in a number of Western countries, we are amazed to see the domestic practices, which we, fortunately, have left, I hope, in the distant past. The fight for equality and against discrimination has turned into aggressive dogmatism bordering on absurdity, when the works of the great authors of the past – such as Shakespeare – are no longer taught at schools or universities, because their ideas are believed to be backward. The classics are declared backward and ignorant of the importance of gender or race. In Hollywood memos are distributed about proper storytelling and how many characters of what colour or gender should be in a movie. This is even worse than the agitprop department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Countering acts of racism is a necessary and noble cause, but the new ‘cancel culture’ has turned it into ‘reverse discrimination’ that is, reverse racism. The obsessive emphasis on race is further dividing people, when the real fighters for civil rights dreamed precisely about erasing differences and refusing to divide people by skin colour. I specifically asked my colleagues to find the following quote from Martin Luther King: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by their character.” This is the true value. However, things are turning out differently there. By the way, the absolute majority of Russian people do not think that the colour of a person’s skin or their gender is an important matter. Each of us is a human being. This is what matters.
In a number of Western countries, the debate over men’s and women’s rights has turned into a perfect phantasmagoria. Look, beware of going where the Bolsheviks once planned to go – not only communalising chickens, but also communalising women. One more step and you will be there.
Zealots of these new approaches even go so far as to want to abolish these concepts altogether. Anyone who dares mention that men and women actually exist, which is a biological fact, risk being ostracised. “Parent number one” and “parent number two,” “’birthing parent” instead of “mother,” and “human milk” replacing “breastmilk” because it might upset the people who are unsure about their own gender. I repeat, this is nothing new; in the 1920s, the so-called Soviet Kulturtraegers also invented some newspeak believing they were creating a new consciousness and changing values that way. And, as I have already said, they made such a mess it still makes one shudder at times.
Not to mention some truly monstrous things when children are taught from an early age that a boy can easily become a girl and vice versa. That is, the teachers actually impose on them a choice we all supposedly have. They do so while shutting the parents out of the process and forcing the child to make decisions that can upend their entire life. They do not even bother to consult with child psychologists – is a child at this age even capable of making a decision of this kind? Calling a spade a spade, this verges on a crime against humanity, and it is being done in the name and under the banner of progress.
Well, if someone likes this, let them do it. I have already mentioned that, in shaping our approaches, we will be guided by a healthy conservatism. That was a few years ago, when passions on the international arena were not yet running as high as they are now, although, of course, we can say that clouds were gathering even then. Now, when the world is going through a structural disruption, the importance of reasonable conservatism as the foundation for a political course has skyrocketed – precisely because of the multiplying risks and dangers, and the fragility of the reality around us.
This conservative approach is not about an ignorant traditionalism, a fear of change or a restraining game, much less about withdrawing into our own shell. It is primarily about reliance on a time-tested tradition, the preservation and growth of the population, a realistic assessment of oneself and others, a precise alignment of priorities, a correlation of necessity and possibility, a prudent formulation of goals, and a fundamental rejection of extremism as a method. And frankly, in the impending period of global reconstruction, which may take quite long, with its final design being uncertain, moderate conservatism is the most reasonable line of conduct, as far as I see it. It will inevitably change at some point, but so far, do no harm – the guiding principle in medicine – seems to be the most rational one. Noli nocere, as they say.
Again, for us in Russia, these are not some speculative postulates, but lessons from our difficult and sometimes tragic history. The cost of ill-conceived social experiments is sometimes beyond estimation. Such actions can destroy not only the material, but also the spiritual foundations of human existence, leaving behind moral wreckage where nothing can be built to replace it for a long time.
Finally, there is one more point I want to make. We understand all too well that resolving many urgent problems the world has been facing would be impossible without close international cooperation. However, we need to be realistic: most of the pretty slogans about coming up with global solutions to global problems that we have been hearing since the late 20th century will never become reality. In order to achieve a global solution, states and people have to transfer their sovereign rights to supra-national structures to an extent that few, if any, would accept. This is primarily attributable to the fact that you have to answer for the outcomes of such policies not to some global public, but to your citizens and voters.
However, this does not mean that exercising some restraint for the sake of bringing about solutions to global challenges is impossible. After all, a global challenge is a challenge for all of us together, and to each of us in particular. If everyone saw a way to benefit from cooperation in overcoming these challenges, this would definitely leave us better equipped to work together.
One of the ways to promote these efforts could be, for example, to draw up, at the UN level, a list of challenges and threats that specific countries face, with details of how they could affect other countries. This effort could involve experts from various countries and academic fields, including you, my colleagues. We believe that developing a roadmap of this kind could inspire many countries to see global issues in a new light and understand how cooperation could be beneficial for them.
I have already mentioned the challenges international institutions are facing. Unfortunately, this is an obvious fact: it is now a question of reforming or closing some of them. However, the United Nations as the central international institution retains its enduring value, at least for now. I believe that in our turbulent world it is the UN that brings a touch of reasonable conservatism into international relations, something that is so important for normalising the situation.
Many criticise the UN for failing to adapt to a rapidly changing world. In part, this is true, but it is not the UN, but primarily its members who are to blame for this. In addition, this international body promotes not only international norms, but also the rule-making spirit, which is based on the principles of equality and maximum consideration for everyone’s opinions. Our mission is to preserve this heritage while reforming the organisation. However, in doing so we need to make sure that we do not throw the baby out with the bathwater, as the saying goes.
This is not the first time I am using a high rostrum to make this call for collective action in order to face up to the problems that continue to pile up and become more acute. It is thanks to you, friends and colleagues, that the Valdai Club is emerging or has already established itself as a high-profile forum. It is for this reason that I am turning to this platform to reaffirm our readiness to work together on addressing the most urgent problems that the world is facing today.
Friends,
The changes mentioned here prior to me, as well as by yours truly, are relevant to all countries and peoples. Russia, of course, is not an exception. Just like everyone else, we are searching for answers to the most urgent challenges of our time.
Of course, no one has any ready-made recipes. However, I would venture to say that our country has an advantage. Let me explain what this advantage is. It is to do with our historical experience. You may have noticed that I have referred to it several times in the course of my remarks. Unfortunately, we had to bring back many sad memories, but at least our society has developed what they now refer to as herd immunity to extremism that paves the way to upheavals and socioeconomic cataclysms. People really value stability and being able to live normal lives and to prosper while confident that the irresponsible aspirations of yet another group of revolutionaries will not upend their plans and aspirations. Many have vivid memories of what happened 30 years ago and all the pain it took to climb out of the ditch where our country and our society found themselves after the USSR fell apart.
The conservative views we hold are an optimistic conservatism, which is what matters the most. We believe stable, positive development to be possible. It all depends primarily on our own efforts. Of course, we are ready to work with our partners on common noble causes.
I would like to thank all participants once more, for your attention. As the tradition goes, I will gladly answer or at least try to answer your questions.
Thank you for your patience.

[ Wolf here ]
Before we even get started, note how much the intelligence of that speech differs from our phony President Biden. It’s even smarter than speech-making puppet and ACTUAL President, Barack Obama.
Now – don’t think for a SECOND that Mr. Putin isn’t one VERY cagey cat who’s looking to eat that singing caged bird when nobody is looking.
From the moment Putin shills for phony Globo-Soviet China-helping “climate change”, you know he’s not in it to speak the truth unless that truth benefits Russia.
Yeah, you can say that he’s “playing along with the Globalists”, but why is that?
RUSSIA FIRST. It is smarter for him to play along openly on a strategy that harms America more than Russia, and overtly helps China, than to flip that around and make his own country suffer, merely for credit with a few opponents of globalism in a primary globalist adversary (meaning the United States).
Never for a moment think this guy is saying anything to help America – unless it helps Russia first.
This is part of nationalism, or at least Russia’s version of it. Just accept that, IMO.
From there, also understand that Putin is always looking out for China, too. Russia and China will always have a very complex relationship, where mutual suspicions and mutual courtesies include NEVER saying the wrong thing, risking destabilizing that relationship, and always upholding each other’s SCAMS.
OK? Got that?
The TRUTH only goes so far with Putin. After that, it’s RUSSIA FIRST, LIES OR NO LIES.
Nevertheless, Putin goes on to provide an AMAZING set of NON-HYPOCRITICAL arguments:
FOR nationalism
FOR conservatism
FOR sovereignty
AGAINST wokism
AGAINST “racist anti-racism”
AGAINST tyranny of the minority
AGAINST Bolshevism
AGAINST extremism
AGAINST gender / sexual minority insanity
AGAINST Western liberal excess
AGAINST revolution
AGAINST transhumanism
AGAINST destruction of society
This is exactly what Sundance is saying. Putin has jumped off his bear, and has GRABBED credibility by both horns, and is milking the bull for all the national macho it will provide!
Corrupt, Soviet-honeymooning, dementia-addled weakling Biden, selling out to China, has given Russia an extraordinary opportunity to recover Soviet-era levels of prominence on the world stage – but without all the stinky Bolshevik baggage of old. Full of fleas and bedbugs, that baggage was gladly taken off Russia’s hands by Democrat doufuses and traitors.
In my opinion, this is exactly where Russia wants things.
I have more opinions, but I will save those for the comments.
What do YOU think of Putin’s speech?
W
Civil rights as distinct from minority tyranny. What a concept! Wonder where that started?
Wolf needs to take care of health matters – both HIS and THE SITE’S. This should not significantly impact things here in the short term, and in the long term, it will improve things. However, this means that Wolf’s appearances on the site will be even more unpredictable than they already have been.
The remainder of this post is just a vague and largely unnecessary explanation of the matters.
My Health
First of all, I have greatly appreciated Duchess01‘s various prayers for bakocarl and myself! These prayers have been very effective.
I also appreciate all the other people who have been praying for me, both here and on Marica’s site! God Bless you and thank you!
One of the most important results of these prayers was to convince me to do needed things, instead of putting them off ONE MORE DAY WEEK MONTH YEAR.
And because GOD wants things to move, THEY’RE MOVING.
Thus, because I’ll need to spend time doing all of the ridiculous things that being healthy entails these days, particularly when dealing with the healthcare system, you will see me a bit less during “office hours”.
Know that I’m still around – I may just be coming around at different times.
Site Health
It turns out that we are having some kind of growing pains. Because of that, I’m going to have to increase the percentage of BUDGET that is going for RENT instead of being stashed into the RAINY DAY FUND.
We will remain IN THE BLACK.
However, we need a bigger condo, or even a single-family abode.
I will thus be spending MORE TIME setting up those things, too.
Wish me luck!
JP’s Magnesium
I have to put in a free plug for a magnesium supplement called Magnesium Breakthrough, which I learned about HERE:
At the end of the video, JP talks about this new magnesium supplement he is fronting. As a certified acolyte of Mg, the element that saved me from long haul, I am a fan of this stuff already. Yes, this stuff which I will admit I have never purchased nor tried. No – I have not tried this particular supplement, but I have been pushing Mg supplementation for the last 2 years, and this stuff looks pricey but good.
Here is why I’m super-convinced.
Let’s look more closely at that label, shall we?
Yes, there is Vitamin B6 and manganese in there, too, but the kicker is that there are so MANY of those fancy, super-bioavailable forms of magnesium, that they crammed into there.
If this shit got any more boutique, they would have to serve you champagne and hors d’oeuvres while shopping.
I could argue that many if not most of these niche forms of magnesium are the same basic type of chelated magnesium as “Magnesium Chelate” (top of the list). In my opinion, there’s not a massive difference in bioavailability between them, although YOUR BIOCHEMISTRY MAY VARY.
However, Sucrosomial Magnesium Oxide is different, and it has been proven to be highly bioavailable, which is uncommon for ANY form of magnesium oxide. It’s even more bioavailable than some of the chelates, which is startling.
And with 7 different kinds of magnesium, (a) something is going to work great for you, and (b) they are all going to max out at different times, with different half-lives, so you are going to get a nice spread in the availability. I use 3 kinds already – 7 is surely even better.
Just don’t turn it up to 11, JP!!!
SO – bottom line – if you’re thinking about upping your magnesium, you may want to check this “Magnesium Breakthrough” stuff out.
I guarantee it’s better than “Vaccine Breakthrough” – or “your money back”!!! LOL!
And with that – I bid you all a great Thursday. STAY HEALTHY. I will be doing it, too!
Nobody would be calling ALL of the various full-length stabilized SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit spike protein vaccines “the clot shot” if there weren’t some clear and obvious problems with the full-length stabilized SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit spike proteinITSELF.
We already know that clotting dysfunction is key to COVID-19 pathogenicity. SO – it’s not exactly a surprise that the spike protein itself, and likewise the S1 subunit of that protein – a.k.a. THE BUSINESS END – are themselves pathogenic.
In the above example, the S1 subunit of the spike protein was basically 100% lethal to humanized mice when applied to their lungs.
And when they looked at the mice, the damage was basically the same as the damage from COVID-19.
Just sayin’.
So let me now TEST you, and see if you’re more of a scientist than Fauci’s protege Rochelle Alinsky – WHOOPS – I mean Rochelle Walensky – who heads the CDC for Fauci to maintain control of it.
If you give a SPIKE PROTEIN VACCINE to somebody, and they have symptoms of COVID-19 during the next few days, or even during the next two weeks, which scenario is more likely?
(A) – The person just happened to get real COVID-19, and THAT spike protein did BAD THINGS.
(B) – The spike protein you put inside the person did BAD THINGS.
Do you see how science works?
It’s a lot like common sense, only it’s applied to fancy stuff.
I want you to meet some great scientists here. These are people with very little scientific authority, but they simply practiced science, instead of repeating what authorities told them.
(1) – The CNA who would not accept “super-spreader” myths
This guy was one of the first people to administer the Pfizer vaccine to nursing home residents.
He was shocked that his nursing home residents would die shortly after being vaccinated – after having survived for months BEFORE the vaccine – in a way that was clearly related to their being vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine.
Nursing home management would NOT admit to the obvious connection – and created a mythical “super-spreader” to explain the deaths.
This man is a HERO.
The first 10 minutes of the video is this man working up the courage of conscience – to SPEAK THE TRUTH. If you just want to hear what he needed to say, you can jump to 10 minutes and you will hear the SCIENCE.
(2) – From Physician’s Assistant to VAERS Whistleblower
This lady, a hospital physician’s assistant, started out as a “COVID training true believer”, but she began observing what the shots were doing in her hospital. From there, she began encountering resistance to “doing the right thing”.
Now, in retrospect, you can see everybody in the system avoiding responsibility – not just for the problem, but for even reporting it.
A fantastic interview by Del Bigtree’s Highwire show.
This doctor discovered not only that “the jab” was leading to loss of wind (reduced effort tolerance) in too many of his patients – a whopping 62% of all his patients were showing signs of microscopic clotting – similar to COVID-19 – after vaccination.
Thus, you will see that we were READY when a good explanation of the clot shot arose.
II. The Explanation
I want to start by thanking barkerjim for posting a comment with a link that leads to a very recent paper (pre-peer-review, of course) that explains the clot shot. He found the link HERE on Denninger’s Market Ticker site.
“Here we report that the Spike protein from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) binds to the blood coagulation factor fibrinogen and induces structurally abnormal blood clots with heightened proinflammatory activity. SARS-CoV-2 Spike virions enhanced fibrin-mediated microglia activation and induced fibrinogen-dependent lung pathology. COVID-19 patients had fibrin autoantibodies that persisted long after acute infection.”
“The central structural component of blood clots, and a key regulator of inflammation in disease, is insoluble fibrin, which is derived from the blood coagulation factor fibrinogen and is deposited in tissues at sites of vascular damage (10, 11). Hypercoagulability in COVID-19 is associated with inflammation and the formation of fibrin clots resistant to degradation despite adequate anticoagulation (3-5). Extensive fibrin deposits are detected locally in inflamed lung and brain tissues from COVID-19 patients, sometimes without evidence of direct viral infection at autopsy (1, 8, 12-14). The high prevalence of thrombotic events with these unique hypercoagulability features suggests an as yet unknown mechanism of abnormal blood clot formation in COVID-19. We set out to determine how blood clots form in COVID-19 and to identify therapies to combat the deleterious effects of abnormal coagulation occurring in acute and convalescent stages of disease.”
“Since hypercoagulability in COVID-19 patients has features distinct from those of other inflammatory diseases, we hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 directly affects the structural and functional properties of blood clots. Incubation of SARS-CoV-2 recombinant trimeric spike protein (Spike) with healthy donor plasma increased fibrin polymerization (Fig. 1A). Spike strikingly altered the fibrin clot structure resulting in thinner fibers with a rough appearance and increased clot density as shown by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (Fig. 1B, fig. S1), identifying direct effects of SARS-CoV-2 Spike on fibrin clot architecture. Consistent with these structural changes, a solid-phase binding assay revealed binding of Spike to both fibrinogen and fibrin (Kd 5.3 μM and 0.4 μM, respectively) (Fig. 1C). Fibrinogen immunoprecipitated with full-length recombinant trimeric Spike, and studies with deletion mutants identified an interaction with the S2 domain of Spike (Fig. 1D, fig. S2).”
“Intravenous administration of Spike PVs in wild-type (WT) mice induced extensive fibrin deposition in the lung (Fig. 2A). (…) Fibrin deposition was associated with activated endothelium in the lung, and gene expression analysis revealed increased expression of endothelial and inflammatory markers in Spike PV-injected mice (…) consistent with findings of SARS-CoV-2 toxicity to endothelial cells (19). (…) Mice genetically-deficient in fibrinogen (Fgα–/– mice), which express all other blood proteins except fibrinogen and are protected from autoimmune and inflammatory conditions (11), did not exhibit lung pathology following Spike PV challenge (Fig. 2E, fig. S5).”
“Fibrinogen is causally linked to the activation of macrophages and microglia in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in the brain and periphery (11, 21). Fibrin is a driver of microglia-induced cognitive dysfunction (22) and is associated with perivascular-activated microglia and macrophages in brains of COVID-19 patients even without signs of infection (12).”
“A surge of autoantibody production against diverse immune targets have been detected in COVID-19 patients (25). To determine whether COVID-19 patients develop autoantibodies against abnormal blood clots, we tested autoantibody responses to fibrin. (…) We tested longitudinally collected serum samples ranging from acute to convalescent disease stages from 54 COVID-19 asymptomatic, mild, and severe disease patients requiring admission to the intensive care units (table S3). Fibrin autoantibodies were abundant in all three groups of COVID-19 patients and persisted during the convalescent stage, but were scarce in healthy donor controls or in subjects with non-COVID respiratory illnesses (Fig. 4A, B).”
“In summary, we find that SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein enhances the formation of highly inflammatory clots that are neutralized by a fibrin-targeting monoclonal antibody. Our data shed new light on the enigmatic coagulopathy found in COVID-19 revealing a causal role for fibrinogen in thromboinflammation – even independent of active viral replication. The high incidence of clotting complications in COVID-19 has been attributed to systemic inflammation (3), vascular damage including abnormal levels of circulating coagulation proteins (1, 26), genetic susceptibility to tissue factor and complement genes (27), and prothrombotic autoantibodies (28). Our findings now show that coagulopathy is not merely a consequence of inflammation. Rather, the interaction of SARS-CoV-2 Spike with fibrinogen and fibrin results in abnormal blood clot formation that in turn drives inflammation.”
[ THIS HERE IS THE PART TO READ ]
Assuming the results are correct – and I can see little reason to doubt them though replication is always important – this really starts to put the puzzle pieces together. I’m frankly amazed that it took so long to figure this out.
In less-scientific language:
1. The spike protein binds directly to fibrinogen, the protein precursor of fibrin which forms blood clots.
2. This binding causes the fibrinogen to polymerize to form fibrin strands, thus forming clots.
3. Spike binding to fibrin in clots also changes the clot structure and renders it resistant to degradation.
4. Fibrin induces immune inflammation. This is usually adaptive because clotting occurs at sites of injury. It is dangerous when it occurs in response to diffuse and extensive spike-mediated micro-clotting. This helps to explain the runaway immune-mediated inflammatory response characteristic of severe Covid-19.
5. Spike *alone* (in the absence of an infectious virus) induces fibrin deposition and inflammation in the lungs of mice. However, mice lacking the gene for fibrinogen exhibited no pathology upon spike exposure, demonstrating that the fibrinogen-spike interaction is necessary and sufficient for spike-induced pathology.
6. Fibrin induces cognitive dysfunction via immune inflammation in the brain.
7. Many recovered Covid-19 patients have abundant autoantibodies against fibrin – independent of disease severity – while these autoantibodies are rare in unexposed people. This indicates both that spike-mediated fibrin formation is occurring in the course of actual human infection, and that autoreactive antibodies are formed which may play a role in chronic/long-haul symptoms or prolonged clotting problems.
8. A fibrin-targeting monoclonal antibody greatly reduced inflammation, suggesting a potential new route for disease treatment.
The paper never uses the word “vaccine” – a glaring and clearly intentional omission – but it should be obvious based on these findings that instructing the body to produce large amounts of spike protein on multiple occasions is a dangerous prospect, and it also explains those autopsy revelations of bodies full of clots.
One caveat: The coordinating author is working with a start-up company to develop treatments based on reducing fibrin-mediated inflammation, so there is clearly some commercial interest here that could be influencing objectivity. On the other hand, it is often the entrepreneurial think-outside-the-box types who end up making groundbreaking discoveries.
Mark L
[ BOOM!!! ]
This is AMAZING and powerful work.
Remember that scientific paper that we started this article with?
NOW we know exactly how that happens. See how the SCIENCE is all connecting together?
The commenter on Ecosophia makes TWO critical points.
POINT ONE is that vaccines are never mentioned. That is how this work will eventually be published. The Rochelle Alinsky CDC could STOP the paper as potentially causing “vaccine hesitancy” if the authors mentioned vaccines, but by throwing no stones, none bounce back.
The CDC will still likely DELAY this from being published for as long as they can. But by avoiding mention of vaccines, the paper cannot be scuttled on the grounds that it “might cause vaccine hesitancy”, which is the FALSE IMPERATIVE that the CDC socialists use to control science and force vaccines on us as a social sabotage. Instead, the READER can make the connections and understand the implications for vaccines.
Do you see why PREPUBLICATION COMMUNICATIONS (like this one) are now so important?
POINT TWO is that it’s JUST THE SPIKE PROTEIN – NOT THE VIRUS AS A WHOLE – that causes the problems. And it’s been PROVEN. And it’s been PROVEN that THIS is the mechanism of the problems induced by the spike protein.
The moniker of “CLOT SHOT” is literally proven to be correct.
This is a BOMBSHELL because it indicts the entire concept of full-length spike protein vaccines as fundamentally flawed. It indicts mRNA vaccines as even more flawed than antigen, because the amount of toxic spike protein is unregulated. (Notice that I’ve been saying this all along.) It doesn’t necessarily say that other types of vaccines (like RBD subunit antigen vaccines) are any safer than spike protein antigen vaccines, but they MIGHT BE.
Something even BETTER here, than just the fibrinogen mechanism, is the way that this EXPLAINS (point 4 above) what one nurse practitioner observed – that COVID strikes PRE-EXISTING INFLAMMATION. Both the WHY of some people having severe COVID and others not, and the LOCATION of those issues, is explained by fibrin’s ties to pre-existing inflammation. We now have a mechanism which we already know follows that rule, because that’s how fibrin works.
This also explains why antihistamines work to save people from severe COVID. Antihistamines are generally useful against severe inflammation by pathogenic substances which cause inflammatory reactions. It’s why they administer benadryl as a general emergency antiinflammatory for purposes like anaphylaxis prevention.
Everybody underestimates Spain. The last letter in “PIGS” is far less of an insult than an error. Years ago, when I was at a conference, and Japanese industrial spies were getting me drunk (it was a great red wine), I decided that I had to give them SOMETHING for their time and effort, if only …
And yet the CDC has WARNED people against taking antihistamines with the vaccine – when this work LITERALLY PROVES WHY THAT IS A GOOD STRATEGY – just as it is a good strategy to take antihistamines to protect against severe COVID.
Like I said, this study proves THAT we were right, and WHY we were right.
And why is CDC so WRONG – time and time again?
This is a breaker of logjams. The insistence on the use of a fundamentally flawed vaccine is CRIMINAL.
Mandates are bad enough, but over a vaccine, the very principle of which is scientifically proven as DANGEROUS?
If mandates continue, these people need to be in JAIL. If they RESIST, they need to be OVERTHROWN.
Mandating this fundamentally dangerous vaccine is so wrong on so many levels.
This is a EUGENIC VACCINE if there ever was one. It’s almost DESIGNED to finish off people who are not 100% healthy.
How can this be right? Seriously. How can this be right?
We can no longer tolerate these people who pretend not to know.
III. The Faucist-Lysenkoist CDC That Pretends Not To Understand
I start this section by thanking three people – Sundance, Aubergine, and Trumpismine – who helped me to see what is going on here.
SUNDANCE informed me of the “Mamet Principle” – that liberals pretend not to know things
AUBERGINE formulated her wonderful Razor – that it is dangerous to dismiss such pretense as mere stupidity, when it might be the product of malice or guile.
TRUMPISMINE turned me on to the Wikipedia definition of Lysenkoism, which contained enough detail that I was able to connect the goals of old Lysenkoism to the actions of the left today.
The so-called Mamet Principle is a paraphrase of a repeated point by David Mamet, which Sundance encapsulated as a principle. This has been discussed and exemplified many times, both here and on CTH.
In asking WHY liberals “pretend not to know things”, we now understand that Hanlon’s Razor is an EXCUSE – that it’s COVER – and that it’s NOT because they’re STUPID, but rather because they’re smart and evil.
The best and most concise description is a reworking of Hanlon’s Razor by our own Aubergine.
So what if we apply this to Saint Fauci of Antibodies?
Anthony Fauci has a literal MAGICIAN’S POWER to make people focus on the WRONG THING. His skills of EVASION are absolutely outstanding. I love to call it “antibody hypnosis”, because that is exactly what it seems like.
“YOU WILL LOOK AT THE ANTIBODIES. THE ANTIBODIES WILL SAVE YOU. LOOK ONLY AT THE ANTIBODIES. YOU ARE FEELING WARM. YOU ARE FEELING SAFE. YOU ARE HAPPY ABOUT THE ANTIBODIES. THE MORE ANTIBODIES YOU SEE, THE WARMER YOU FEEL – LIKE THE SUN ON YOUR FACE ON A BEACH.”
You even hear his voice when you read that – don’t you? That gravelly, reassuring voice.
It’s VERY intentional.
Focusing on ONE WRONG THING – or even ONE RIGHT THING – is a technique of misdirection, but it is one of the BEST ways of pretending not to know things.
“Let’s only talk about this.”
Rand Paul knows all about it. He has gone many rounds with the Fauci critter.
But it’s not just Fauci.
His protege in CDC, who gives Fauci effective control of medical science, is every bit as bad.
It even includes Rand Paul’s colleagues in Congress.
The man behind the launch of censorship. Is this guy even AMERICAN?
What a PUTZ.
ANYWAY, this is where I started to figure things out.
This WEIRD LOVE of the radical left for brutal, aggressive, stupid, uncaring science – where does it come from?
I did not expect the answer that I found, with the help of Trumpismine and Wikipedia.
It’s very helpful to read this, including this part:
Marxism–Leninism postulated “universal and immutable laws of history” (historical materialism and dialectical materialism), which assumed unavoidable large-scale change at the collective level of societies.[5]Collectivism was a key feature of Marxism; Darwin’s concept of a random mutation in an individual being able to propagate and transform subsequent generations was at odds with the ideology, and was perceived as having a strong liberal inclination.[6] Marxist–Leninist theorists presented Lysenkoism as a new branch of biology, arguing that “dialectic method shows that development is carried out in a dual form: evolutionary and revolutionary.” Darwin was attributed with discovering “only the evolutionary” path, while Michurin and Lysenko were presented as making a “great step forward” toward the discovery of a “revolutionary” path of biologic development.[7]
Most people brought up in mainstream, establishment, Western science use the term Lysenkoism without really understanding the political angle of it. We understand it merely as “politics being imposed on scientists in the Soviet Union, which set back Soviet biological science by decades.”
Yes, that’s true, but it’s not ALL of the truth. The more you know about it, the more it looks EXACTLY like “Woke Science”.
As an aside, clearly it makes sense WHY China (and to a lesser extent Russia) would want to promote Lysenkoism in the United States, as part of their own interests. “China First” and “Russia First” by socialist and ex-socialist means are unlikely to be pretty. “Fuck the other guy up so he can’t win” is a valid technique in a corrupt world.
But it goes deeper.
Lysenkoism is far less about being STUPID, than about being REVOLUTIONARY. That is a critical idea. That quality of being revolutionary makes mistakes, and when it does, it’s generally STUPID. But when it does NOT make mistakes, it’s generally EVIL.
Let me repeat what I said, earlier about Lysenkoism.
You know what? This is actually really interesting reading.
In a WEIRD WAY – Lysenko was “right”, in that he maniacally predicted EXACTLY what the communists are doing NOW with gene therapy. His assertion of a “genetic dialectic” – of the “evolutionary” in conflict with the “revolutionary” – is actually what we’re seeing RIGHT NOW with the “natural evolution” crowd (US) versus the commie-forced gene therapy crowd (THEM).
Marxist–Leninist theorists presented Lysenkoism as a new branch of biology, arguing that “dialectic method shows that development is carried out in a dual form: evolutionary and revolutionary.” Darwin was attributed with discovering “only the evolutionary” path, while Michurin and Lysenko were presented as making a “great step forward” toward the discovery of a “revolutionary” path of biologic development.[7]
It was just total hubris and pathological commie science – a lot like what we see from Fauci, Gates and Walensky – but it “anticipated” what WOULD come eventually through science – that someday WE would have the power to do the things – and make the mistakes – that we are making now.
So in many ways these people ARE the intellectual inheritors of Lysenkoism!!!
Lysenko’s mistake was claiming that things WERE what they merely COULD BE through greater understanding.
Imagine some person coming BEFORE Galileo and trying to FORCE heliocentrism in their country – killing, jailing, ousting, and attacking the geocentrists.
In a sense, that was Lysenko, who attacked natural evolution.
Natural processes are “evolution”.
Genetic modification is “revolution”.
The dude was a NUT, trying to assert that the NATURAL was both, when it’s almost all ONE. But if he would have simply said “We must become revolutionary in genetics, which is merely evolutionary now”, then he would have been like the Lenin of biology, and he would likely be admired today by all these crazy leftists and depoppers, instead of an old Soviet embarrassment.
But ALL OF THAT comes back and tells me that these people are the modern recapitulation of Lysenkoist THOUGHT, but using the GAINS of actual evolutionary understanding.
The nutbaggery we see NOW with the communist jab-maniacs, is just like Lysenko’s assertions, only MORE REAL because they have MORE TECH.
[END QUOTE]
Soviet science, and Lysenko in particular, were characterized by a kind of VIRTUE SIGNALING, and that is what we are seeing now on universities, only it tends to be about peripheral things, like race, diversity, gender – whatever is in leftist vogue.
But NOW, in our phony socialist “pandemic”, we are seeing the virtue signals rise to levels that affect the practice of science itself. It’s starting at GOALS, but very soon, it will get a bit like CLIMATE LYSENKOISM, where people CHANGE DATA, HIDE DATA, DROP EVIDENCE, and basically act like MAINSTREAM MEDIA JOURNALISTS, who are in a continuous state of covering things up by omission, distraction, and promotion of contradicting narratives.
That is NOT GOOD.
I think that we are now seeing with publications like the one featured in this article, is some PUSH-BACK by scientists who realize where things are headed – a VERY BAD place. They are GETTING THE TRUTH OUT.
We need to help promote awareness of science that CDC and the communist infiltration are going to hide.
W
On August 7, 1948, at the end of a week-long session organised by Lysenko and approved by Stalin,[14] the V.I. Lenin Academy of Agricultural Sciences announced that from that point on Lysenkoism would be taught as “the only correct theory.” Soviet scientists were forced to denounce any work that contradicted Lysenko.[19] Criticism of Lysenko was denounced as “bourgeois” or “fascist,” and analogous “non-bourgeois” theories also flourished in other fields such as linguistics and art in the Soviet academy at this time. Perhaps the only opponents of Lysenkoism during Stalin’s lifetime to escape liquidation were from the small community of Soviet nuclear physicists: as Tony Judt has observed, “It is significant that Stalin left his nuclear physicists alone and never presumed to second guess their calculations. Stalin may well have been mad but he was not stupid.”[20]
It’s important that you read what Sundance says AFTER the video.
The following line is critical:
The entire premise of the World Economic Forum’s “COVIDPass” is predicated on a blood test being able to identify whether a person has been vaccinated or not.
However – IMO – that is not what is actually being called for.
To see this, you need to go back to the video, and also read the WEFFEN SS article:
CovidPass is the brainchild of one of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders, Mustapha Mokass. It also involves other YGLs across 5 continents, including Muna AbuSulayman and Peggy Liu. CovidPass uses blockchain technology to store encrypted data from individual blood tests, allowing users to prove that they have tested negative for COVID-19.
Unlike contact tracing apps, CovidPass will not track users’ movements. Non-mandatory contact tracing apps have met with only limited success so far due to privacy concerns.
Germany, regarded as one of the most successful nations in rolling out a voluntary app, currently has only 16 million users out of 83 million citizens. Experts say at least half the population needs to use a contact tracing app to make it effective in fighting the virus.
Meanwhile, governments are faced with a variety of different testing regimes to validate the health of travellers. “This isn’t enough to reassure tourists or health authorities”, says Mokass.
Mokass hopes his app, which is launching in September, will become a standardized solution for airlines, airports and border agencies, and eliminate quarantine for healthy travellers. CovidPass could also allow hotels, cinemas, theatres, sporting and concert venues to reopen safely.
CovidPass commits to mandatory carbon offsetting for each flight passenger, to preserve the environmental benefits of reduced air travel during the crisis.
And here is the critical sentence:
CovidPass uses blockchain technology to store encrypted data from individual blood tests, allowing users to prove that they have tested negative for COVID-19.
First of all, it’s important to understand that these “Young Global Leaders”, like the guy who proposed this idea, are just pawns. They’re dupes – chumps – smart young knuckleheads who will be heavily brainwashed, including MK tech, to be future BOTS. The idea that “Mustapha” is suggesting may have even been the result of mental suggestion to HIM.
My little corner of the swamp used to create “Future Leaders” just like this, and it was very painful to realize that the “honor” these kids were being given was basically a future of ESTABLISHMENT SLAVERY. And there is no way to warn these kids – they would never believe they are being cut out and set up – not in a thousand years.
All that said, it’s important (IMO) to realize that – as long as COVIDPass is just testing for VIRUS – it’s actually a VERY cunning idea. It’s CUNNING, because it RELIEVES the conflict between vaccinated and unvaccinated.
I repeat.
This solution is NOT about testing for vaccine – it’s about testing for NO VIRUS. Which means the NON-VAXXED can FLY AGAIN.
CAN IT BE GAMED? CAN IT BE RIGGED? CAN IT ALSO TEST FOR VACCINE MARKERS?
Is the Pope a Communist? Of course. It is DESIGNED to be rigged. This actually puts GLOBAL LEGS on the scam that Political Moonshine spotted with PCR and CDC.
But it’s EVEN MORE, because it tests and follows the UNVACCINATED.
This is a way to control ALL HUMAN MOVEMENT (that they want to control – hint, hint) of both the vaccinated AND the unvaccinated, and it’s designed to BOTHER fewer people than requiring vaccination.
We have ALL been getting blood draws – right? That’s not putting something INTO our bodies – it’s taking something OUT. Fewer people are concerned with a blood draw to travel internationally – that’s not a problem for most people.
This is all really brilliant.
They take away the masks.
They take away the lockdowns.
They take away the quarantines.
They EVEN take away the vaccines, for those who don’t want them, can’t have them, etc.
Instead, they just require periodic blood draws, allegedly to prove that you don’t have the virus they released.
Notice how they tie in all this climate BS here as well. This is TOTAL CONTROL on international travel – maybe even national travel.
They will likely use highly manipulable PCR for the tests – in any case – YOU have no say in the test result.
Just like Mike DeWine could not meet with Trump, because of a bad test which I’m certain was RIGGED, so you can be sure that the Lauren Southerns, James O’Keefes, Sidney Powells, Tommy Robinsons, and Wolf Moons of the world, are going to get false positives right before traveling to “inconvenient” destinations or events.
And THIS is very important, too.
Whatever they are putting in the vaccines? They can TEST YOUR BLOOD to look for whatever they need or want to look for.
So I am NOT saying that Sundance isn’t right about his suspicions with marked vaccines. I am SURE that marking vaccines ARE one of the HIGHEST goals, if not THE HIGHEST goal, on their little list of such things. Knowing the lot numbers of the vaccines, they can run all sorts of experiments on us. This is the PERFECT opportunity for them to pull such crap.
But I think this scam is EVEN BIGGER. Complete control of movement and networking in “meatspace”, using the phony PCR tests “as needed”. PLUS they get your DNA. My DNA. ALL of our DNA.
Can the WEFFEN SS pull this off?
I think they are STILL interested in TOTAL CONTROL.
My dear wife is the one who found this, so let me start off by thanking her.
After working outside Tuesday night, I came in the front door, and my wife IMMEDIATELY told me to start watching what was on OAN. It was an anonymous Rumble video about ivermectin and remdesivir that OAN re-bannered and broadcast, after being unable to identify or contact the author.
I’m very glad OAN decided to promote this video.
I caught only part of the ivermectin story, but ALL of the remdesivir story, and THAT was enough to get me searching for an online copy of the video for all of the readers here.
You can watch the OAN-rebannered video at the following link. (The original video is below.)
‘The Story Of Ivermectin’ Sheds Light On The History & Benefits Of The Drug
OAN Newsroom UPDATED 12:30 PM PT – Wednesday, October 13, 2021
Despite doctor testimonials, clinical trials and international studies showing the efficacy of Ivermectin, mainstream media continues to suppress information regarding the drug as a treatment for COVID-19.
One America News would like to shed light on the history and the benefits of Ivermectin by showing a video recently posted to Rumble by a user called ‘Temporarily Grounded.’
While we could not make contact with the user, we urge our viewers to email via our contact page at oann.com if you have any information on the video’s creator, including his name and direct contact information.
Fortunately, the original video is still on Rumble.
This video basically shows the solid background of ivermectin, including some truly excellent and unbiased scientific information. However, about halfway through, it switches gears, and talks about the suppression of ivermectin.
The latter quickly segues into the promotion of remdesivir – and THAT is where it’s really, really powerful.
Who, you might ask, is behind remdesivir?
It’s SHOCKING – it’s not who you would expect – and you NEED to watch.
Beyond that, the documentary explains exactly how the bias for remdesivir was built into the trials – and that, too, is shocking.
I have been trying to warn people just how FAKE science is right now. This documentary backs me up BIG TIME. Thus, very glad to share it now.
A Beautiful Demonstration of Real Science in Action, and How Political Correctness Prevents Obvious Correlations and Causations From Being Seen by Monetarily Dependent Scientists
Being “Sherlock Holmes” is easy, when everybody else in mainstream science has turned into a character from “The Muppets” or “Sesame Street”.
Except for Dr. Charles Hoffe, plus a bunch of other physicians and scientists who our media calls “The Dirty Dozen”, that “Count” guy is my only real competition now.
Of course, when he counts 57 genders, he will leave our little group of truth-tellers, but until then he can probably count protons and neutrons reliably.
Thankfully, I’m retired. I can speak the truth. “The Count” is still employed by the dirty establishment.
Consider a basic idea of vaccination known from literally centuries of science – from even BEFORE the first vaccination in the 1790s, when people used WEAKENED smallpox to gain immunity to NORMAL smallpox (a process called “inoculation” or “variolation”).
Here is that bedrock idea. A principle so simple, it borders on “an obvious trend in a collection of observations”.
“Immunity conferred by catching a disease naturally and recovering is strong, and any form of preventing the disease by inoculation (including variolation and vaccination) attempts to live up to that level of immunity. Some vaccines will give life-long immunity, if that is possible, or for as long as the disease itself gives immunity, if lucky, but in many if not most cases, the durability of immunity conferred by a vaccine is LESS than the durability of immunity conferred by the disease itself.”
So I repeat – this simple idea is something that “everybody knew” from roughly 1790 to 2019, and even before 1790, when vaccination wasn’t even called vaccination.
But then – suddenly – in 2020, the media talked us out of centuries of knowledge about how immunity works, by a kind of hand-waving authority – allegedly from “the experts” at CDC and NIH.
Fauci and Scarf Lady went along with the media hoax. They didn’t have to say a lot. It was mostly by leaving OPEN the question of natural immunity, when it should NOT have been left open, that damage to science and society was done.
Of course, after enough results poured in from laboratories around the world, noting how much stronger natural immunity to COVID-19 appeared to be, we were relieved to discover that – Yes, Virginia – immunity is still behaving just like it did before COVID-19.
(The feds will certainly have to do some “funding mechanics” to fix all those people reporting “incorrect science”, won’t they?)
And THAT is when Rand Paul began taking Anthony Fauci to the woodshed over natural immunity.
So why the heck did we ever suspect or believe otherwise?
No good reason, except the Fake News.
Think about it.
If this does not prove to you that the media controls science, and not the other way around, then wait for the next example.
I’m going to replay parts of a conversation some of us has on October 1 of this year.
It’s in images, but I will also provide a link and the text.
I now know two people personally who get the injection. One was my BIL who got covid anyway, but we made sure he got treated the right way and he got better immediately, and is back at full health despite diabetes.
The other is a friend who cannot breath well even with an oxygen tank turned to max. He has seen every type of doctor, and no one can figure out what the problem is.
He and I had a sharp but friendly argument over the injections a month or so ago. He is MAGA but a true “vax” believer (hard to imagine, but they exist).
I have spoken to him a couple times at length, but refrained from bringing up the injection as a possible cause of his present distress. His wife thinks he is not going to make it, but, again, I have not mentioned to her the injection as a consideration.
The doctors will not tell him, and at this point what difference could it make, other than making him feel more stress or more unhappiness?
I feel like this all the time. No one in my circles will listen. It’s pointless, and would end up splintering relationships that will be needed as these people all go down sick.
I actually feel this way about ALL vaccines to an extent, and I still think that my younger nephew is actually vaccine injured. No one will listen to me on that, either, given there is another diagnosis that fits. They didn’t listen to me about the one drug he was on, and I turned out to be right. I was the first one to call that the drug was the problem, and eventually it could not be ignored.
This is no different. All the research won’t change minds when all the people in family want to be able to do is travel, and that was the driver for the decision.
You are a real life Cassandra. The fact that you endure this psychological burden because you know at some point in the future those people will need you is admirable. You are demonstrating the true character of a disciple of the Lord. Your faith is obviously sustaining you.
He got the shots in March. I will ask him what type. The breathing problem was gradual and started about a month ago and has become severe.
We spoke again yesterday, and I suggested D3 and Zinc. Oddly enough, his own doctor told him to take those, and he has not taken them. Now he says he will.
He is going in for angiograms on Tuesday and used that as a polite excuse to defer on any further discussion.
But I would love to hear your perspective when I get you the info.
Great! Both D3 and zinc are necessary to fight off respiratory viruses, and they tend to be deficient as we get older. If he does have spike protein lung damage, every minor respiratory virus brings back the COVID lung problems.
Also magnesium helps me. It is a vasodilator and antihypertensive, and I suspect that it is a PULMONARY vasodilator, too.
I know that fear. Inability to breathe properly is extremely scary. And it scared a lot of people onto vents where they died.
One of the foulest tricks of both COVID and MASKS is that they mess up O2 / CO2 balance. One has to ADAPT to the new balance. THAT is hard. One reason I refuse to wear a mask is that it really messes with my oxygen balance. It messes me up for HOURS. And I’m IMMUNE, damn it! Pointless and CRUEL to make me wear a mask – these Stalinist bastards!
I am still trying to find out what “vax” he took. He is not doing well. He had two angiograms and the doctors are still uncertain what his problem is, and he has been fretful (so I am told).
It is a delicate situation.
But please keep this post in mind so when I find out we can discuss.
One way you might get him the proper help is to suggest that he may have HAD COVID AND DIDN’T KNOW IT. Both he and the Covidian doctors will believe that, before they will believe that the jab WAS the “Covid” that he got.
That will get the docs thinking that he has long-haul, and they may send him on to a “long-haul” specialist.
So far, that is the only sensible way. Truth is the best generally, but at the right time, otherwise it can be a bad choice if the truth creates more negativity.
Gail’s story of her long-term oxygen problem being cleared up by moxidectin (relative of ivermectin) may be useful, because it can be mentioned simply as fact – and it’s kind of funny because it was an accidental exposure (while dipping sheep in a skin-penetrating formulation).
I spoke to my friend. He took Moderna. When I asked he pre-emptively said “what I have has nothing to do with the voccine.”
He said the docs told him he had severe pulmonary hypertension, and there was nothing they could do except give him the generic form of Viagra.
The MDs might very well be telling him exactly the way it is, and who am I to say differently? Still, his case at least proves to me how deep my distrust is.
TY for engaging on this personal interest! As always, I highly respect your knowledge and judgment.
Wolf again…..
Now – if you follow through that conversation, you will see that Tona’s friend started off with vaccination, followed later by persistent shortness of breath. You can see that I suspected he might need magnesium as a pulmonary vasodilator – that his case might be similar to mine, which was from COVID itself, only his seems to be much WORSE.
Later, you see that he’s getting an angiogram – meaning, they’re going to look at his blood vessels. This is heading exactly where I thought it was going.
Finally, you see that it is verified that Tona’s friend took the Moderna vaccine, and has pulmonary hypertension.
This confirmed everything that I suspected.
Now – WHY did I suspect that this man had pulmonary hypertension?
FIRST, because I have LONG been following the story of endothelial damage in the capillaries of the lungs by SARS-CoV-2 – more specifically by the spike protein – and resultant pulmonary symptomology (including shortness of breath), from all the way back in March and April of 2020, when Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell realized that the ARDS vent strategy “imported from China” was ALL WRONG. He started looking at high-altitude sickness as a better (though still flawed) model of the disease, and quickly understood the endothelial and pulmonary capillary thrombotic nature of SARS-COV-2 infections.
As you can see, by the middle of 2020, the DISEASE was already well understood in terms of being a provoker of coagulopathy and the sequelae of that.
It was this coagulopathy, that was causing shortness of breath.
And THAT leads to the SECOND reason I suspected pulmonary hypertension. Something I had seen HERE, actually, in various postings on our site. Thank you to all posters here, who brought this information.
But THIS information was not about the disease. This was about the VACCINE.
Please listen to the video below – it will not only explain what is happening – it will assure you of this good doctor’s credibility.
Canadian doctor warns the worst is ‘yet to come’ from blood clotting damage linked to COVID-19 shots
There is also a LARGER video which includes the above video – but it ALSO includes additional information – priceless information – about how Chinese crypto-kinetic warfare is used as part of “reality shaping” to support Chinese sociobiological warfare. See if you can arrive independently at the same understanding, and explain it to me in the comments. You will need to listen to the longer video to see it.
Everything Dr. Hoffe says is – sadly – bad news for “yours truly”, but it MASSIVELY confirms my “hunch” that COVID took at least a DECADE off my life.
This is just a gut-level assessment of the damage to my health, but everything that I’ve seen in my medical test data seems to confirm it. My respiratory, pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and immune functions are all noticeably impaired after COVID. I do not know if I have pulmonary hypertension, but I suspect that if I do NOT have it, it is only because I have very successfully prevented systemic hypertension. My blood pressure is low, and I have kept it low, thanks to magnesium.
This is part of the reason I have been so adamantly opposed to vaccinating our troops, and regard that action as TREASONOUS. The only people who are helped by medical turnover of our military are the communists – both foreign and domestic.
But let’s not talk about me. Let’s not talk about the US Military.
Let’s talk about Tonawanda’s friend.
The fact that he had the Moderna vaccine is – in my opinion – very important.
Why?
This gets into the observed and known differences between the vaccines, which I have watched VERY CAREFULLY from the very beginning. I very CLOSELY watched the Phase One trials for both Pfizer and Moderna.
The Moderna vaccine was NOTORIOUS for causing symptoms VERY similar to the disease, including fever, exhaustion, headaches, muscular and kidney aches. Worse than that, the Moderna systemic effects were extremely common in the trial group.
If I had to describe my “non-taker” impression of the Moderna shot like a “gourmet” might, it would be like the Shingrix shingles vaccine first shot, only more systemic like the second shot.
The symptoms Ben describes are VERY MUCH like COVID-19 itself.
The Pfizer vaccine – surprisingly – did not have strong observable and immediate effects like Moderna. The incidence of anything more than a bit of local swelling was almost non-existent in the Phase One trial group.
The Pfizer vaccine moved up near the top of my “I might take this one” list.
Thus, it was very surprising that LATER, lots of problems with the Pfizer “clot shot” came into view, as the vaccine was being delivered to people. To some extent, I believe that the NUMBERS of many side effects simply don’t appear in trials, but THAT is not the whole story. I am now convinced that Pfizer is led by incredibly dishonest people, and that they very likely gamed the trials to hide problems.
And very ironically, there is some SCIENCE to back that up. The GAMING begins with the vaccine itself.
What’s interesting there, is that Pfizer’s data on biological distribution of their vaccine in test animals – which we had to get from the Japanese government – not only explained the nature and biodistribution of side effects seen in vaccine recipients – it explained the SHEDDING of VACCINE to others in close contact with the recipient.
This was, IMO, phenomenal detective work by the people who got that data. The Pfizer vaccine’s array of issues was due to the PERSISTENCE and SLOW RELEASE of the vaccine – as well as the obvious LIPID MOBILITY of the LIPID NANOPARTICLES. It took DAYS for the vaccine to release most of the mRNA into cells. The vaccine had plenty of time to move around in bodily lipids. It even had time to be EXCRETED in bodily lipids.
But NOW, I can ALSO use this same explanation for the difference between Pfizer and Moderna in the trials.
Pfizer basically created what is essentially a slow-release vaccine without telling people it was slow-release. VERY beneficial in trials – no?
Moderna’s vaccine also uses lipid nanoparticles, BUT their vaccine clearly deploys FASTER into cells. There is significant overlap, nonetheless, in cardiovascular deployment, as Dr. Hoffe notes. Moderna is likewise distributing throughout the body, and producing systemic vascular endothelium-centered effects much like COVID itself does, but Moderna produces symptoms FASTER than Pfizer. The vaccine effects of Moderna are thus much more noticeable – in some ways like the new shingles vaccine, which is a recombinant antigen vaccine, not an mRNA vaccine, and does NOT employ time-delaying lipid encapsulation technology.
Shingrix tends to produce rapid LOCAL symptoms on the first shot, and systemic symptoms on the booster, exactly as we might expect for two fundamentally different immune reactions (naive locally generated to injected antigen on shot 1, and immune secondary cytokine reaction to same on shot 2).
SO – back to Tona’s friend. He got MODERNA. Moderna SHOWS that it produces symptoms similar to COVID. Just ask Ben Stein. We have covered these “whole spike protein” vaccines.
Dr. Hoffe encountered his results using the MODERNA vaccine.
Dr. Hoffe – at the time of the video – had 9 out of roughly 900 Moderna-receiving patients who were significantly (medically) damaged by the vaccine – and that did not count the 62% of ALL patients (estimated from a smaller sample) who showed signs of microscopic clotting.
Of those 9 patients clinically damaged by the vaccine, SIX of them are described as having “reduced effort tolerance” indicative of pulmonary hypertension. That is exactly what I have from COVID itself. I’m just lucky that my prior health was SO GOOD – far better than most others my age, particularly with my set of comorbidities like “former smoker” – that I was simply “knocked back” to somewhat below normal levels of health for my age.
Others may choose not to believe that Tonawanda’s friend was a victim of side effects of the Moderna vaccine, but in my opinion it is IMPOSSIBLE to dismiss this possibility. In fact, I believe that this case is an exemplary fulfillment of Dr. Hoffe’s warning.
In my opinion, mRNA vaccines are a fundamentally flawed approach, relative to a carefully metered and controlled ANTIGEN vaccine. mRNA vaccines have a “sexy” mechanism, but the whole concept is SCIENCE-CENTERED – not PATIENT-CENTERED.
Science-centered vaccines are a perfect fit for BRUTAL Stalinist socialized medicine, which treats people coldly and unsympathetically.
And THAT is why the Faucist conspirators and Bidenazis are deploying it.
What would Obama do, if nobody could stop him?
THIS is Obamacare – the REALITY. Brutal, corrupt, industrialized medicine.
Ironically – so ironically – profit-centered and capitalist to the core – only the negotiation with the corrupt capitalists is run by Soviet-style bureaucrats. An interesting mix of communism and fascism.
