This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know That you had left us with armor in tow We had no idea with what you dealt We did not know the pain you felt And now we can only imagine With you what really did happen Cause rarely did you complain And/or share your personal pain Of one thing we are most certain You are flying high behind the curtain Watching over us above the crowds Our Warrior Angel above the clouds Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us While you were here among the fuss We miss you dear you have no idea Since time began in the pangaea With you there was no time In your wisdom you would chime To clarify and magnify The what where how and why We did not question when you left We were not slightly bereft But over time we wondered why You did not at least stop by Now we know where you have gone With the break of this new dawn We could be angry but are not Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear Send us a sign that you are near A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain From your love do not refrain God sends Angels to watch over us And now we have an Angel Plus A Warrior Angel of Magnificence From today and forward hence
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1
Never talk about committing violence in a reply to Wolf or in response to anything Wolf has said, or you may get put into moderation so that your comments can be screened. This is ONLY because DHS is now playing door-knock Gestapo with people who have spoken at school board meetings, made public comments, etc. DHS regime jackboots are knocking on doors of school board mama bears and stupidly insinuating potential violence from things people say or don’t say on social media. A guy in Ohio pointed his FINGER at the school board, and they went after him, armed with pictures of the pointing, and screen captures of online comments. Yeah.
SO – give the Nazis ZERO ammo. Keep any mention of violence, even joking, away from Wolf, so that he doesn’t have to “explain” humor to humorless jackboots who pretend not to know things.
As for discussion of “violent humor” among yourselves (e.g., “#TeamHeadsOnPikes”), just use whatever discretion you think is appropriate for yourselves. I will only put you in moderation if your comments create problems for ME or THIS SITE, but not if they only impact you.
YOU are responsible for your own comments, if they come knocking. YOUR choice. Just remember this…..
OTHER THAN THAT…….
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
Musical Interlude
In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
Don’t let UFOs and Chinese spy balloons distract you from the fact a US President ordered Russian pipelines be blown up without notifying Congress then misled the American people about it, risking WWIII to defend a corrupt nation where his son Hunter raked in millions of dollars
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the DayYear Week:
CRISPR
noun
Clustered Regularly-Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
A naturally occurring mechanism found in bacteria that involves the retention of fragments of foreign DNA, providing the bacteria with some immunity to viruses. The system is sometimes referred to as CRISPR/Cas9 to denote the entire gene-editing platform in which RNA homologous with the targeted gene is combined with Cas9 (CRISPR Associated Protein 9), which is a DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) to form the “toolkit” for the CRISPR/Cas9 method of genome editing.
Wolf’s explanation: ZoneAlarm / McAfee for bacterial genes against IRL viruses. The bacteria keep a special library of virus crap, then look for it in the genome and “quarantine” (slice) any infected DNA at the bad spot.
Cas9
noun
CRISPR Associated Protein 9
A specialized enzyme known as a nuclease that has the ability to cut DNA sequences. Cas9 makes up part of the “toolkit” for the CRISPR/Cas9 method of genome editing.

Cholesterol-lowering success in monkeys using CRISPR gene therapy has scientists hot to trot for human trials
You may not realize it yet, but if you think the phony war over cholesterol ON YOUR PLATE was bad, wait until you see what’s coming. The war over cholesterol production IN YOUR GENES is about to ignite.
Yes. YOU are going to be FORCED by your medical insurance to get GENE THERAPY, because they won’t want to pay for statins or stents.
Nobody has told you about this stuff, just like nobody told you that human fertility was going to take a hit from a phony Chinese pandemic with a gonad-seeking mRNA vaccine, containing a fertility-decreasing spike protein, and possibly some kind of tracking mechanism, although we’re not 100% certain on the last and least damaging of those three – at least not yet.
Cholesterol gold foil artwork available on Etsy: www.etsy.com
Cholesterol has a beautiful structure, if you have an appreciation for that sort of thing. It’s not just a FAT – it’s a STEROID. It’s a big blob of molecular wood putty that can be used for all kinds of things. The structure is remarkably similar to some of the most potent hormones in our bodies.
Yeah, sometimes there is a lot of SCRAP cholesterol laying around. But look at wood prices now, and realize that – yeah – cholesterol is part of HEALTH and BUILDING STRONG BODIES.
Let’s not get into how phony the whole demonization of cholesterol is. THAT is another story. But let me tell you – if there was ever an “unjustified fat shaming”, it was the WAR ON CHOLESTEROL.
The point is, we all know how many of us were forced onto a class of drugs called statins to lower our cholesterol levels. These drugs have a variety of serious side effects, including memory loss and dementia.
And yet doctors went along with the MANDATORY nature of doing something about cholesterol. Am I not right? Of course I’m right, and you know it. Your doctor was TRAINED to be all “mandatory” about fixing your cholesterol.
Well, there is going to be something that will eliminate the need for statins.
GENE THERAPY.
Brought to you by globalists, the Bidenistas, the Bidenazis, and the Phony Plannedemic.
Trust me, they KNEW THIS WAS COMING when they released the virus.
They KNEW they would use the “gene therapy” vaccines for the phony villain pandemic.
They KNEW they would go after cholesterol FIRST, because they had already set it all up.
They KNEW all this all along.
And now let me prove it to you.
There is an amazing article – excellent reporting – that you need to read. I’m only going to give you PART of it, so that you go see the rest. Or just go there now.
NOW – if you want to see whether ANYBODY thinks this might be a bad idea, you have to actually go to the end of the article. But you will also see that there are some of these people who are RARIN’ TO GO on gene therapy in humans.
The therapy’s efficacy in monkeys shows it is ready to be deployed in people, Urnov says. “At this point, only clinical data will tell us what the real promise of this approach is.”
Oh yeah? Not all agree!
Permanently disabling it with CRISPR may therefore have unforeseen effects, he says. “When you do the CRISPR, you’re stuck,” he says. “What’s the antidote?”
Bigger still, is this problem.
THE SAME HORRIFYING ISSUE that was just found with the mRNA vaccines, and I just discussed in the previous post, is mentioned by a critic of the technology in the C&EN article.
So again, I urge you to read the full article, to understand how CLOSE we are to mandated gene therapy.
Another post discussed how – for whatever reasons are quietly embedded upon the length of the full spike protein and fragments thereof, chimeric or not – we are also now cursed with what appears to be, to some [currently socially tolerable] extent, an abortion virus and abortion vaccines.
Trust me – THAT is a trumpet that BRINGS DOWN WALLS.
We may even have a scientifically sound explanation for the craziest reports of vaccine side effects in the close but unvaccinated – namely, hormonal activities that are operating at the low microgram level.
Oxytocin – abortion dose = 10-30 IU = 16-50 mcg
Let me explain how that works. Think “DUST”.
I can tell you all about the potency of carfentanil. ONE BREATH of inhaled dust containing a tiny amount of it knocked me out like a roundhouse to the left jaw. If that ENTIRE DUST had been carfentanil, I would have been DEAD. But there was a fraction – a tiny fraction – of that tiny grain you see right there, that got into my lungs, riding on OTHER DUST, and I was OUT LIKE A LIGHT.
NOW you understand the POWER of the spike protein.
Yes, there is SO MUCH that they HIDE FROM US to maintain POWER OVER US.
However, now I want to put ALL of this virology technology into DEEP PERSPECTIVE.
“Black goo” biological agent in the movie Prometheus, part of the “Alien” franchise.
What I am going to tell you is almost certain to shock you – both about the disease and about the vaccine. It shocked me. That’s why I figured I had to explain this to people.
And what’s even WEIRDER – this is not totally about the disease or the vaccines, but also about their CONTEXT, which forces you to SEE them both differently and more CLEARLY.
A while back, I was just browsing the “edutainment” about viruses on the internet, when I was led down an interesting rabbit hole of viruses in entomology. You know – INSECTS. I read something on Wikipedia which bothered me, so I set it aside. It all seemed FAR too familiar. It surely impacted all this crap we’re going through now – I just wasn’t sure how. Later I came back and read it again.
Now, I understand. It’s actually rather beautiful. But – well – it’s interesting.
The greatest point being – THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
The great irony of the idea “nothing new under the sun” is the self-referential part – the idea that EVEN this little bit of wisdom is with certainty not even attributable to its first alleged “author”, who HIMSELF surely understood the great irony of his saying it, and that others might attribute it to him, someday.
Nothing new under the sun. This bit of Solomonian passed-on wisdom about the curation rather than creation of wisdom is far truer than I realized. Let’s EXPAND just a bit.
The idea that this universe is as old as it appears to be, and that in all that time, Einstein was the first person (using the term rather broadly) to discover the logic of how speed actually works, strikes me as a violation of Solomon’s logic about “first discovery” being rare as hen’s teeth.
Likewise, Solomon’s logic goes further and tells me that “hen’s teeth” undoubtedly happened a lot more often than, when in its earthly rarity, it happened “here and almost now”, but seemingly only roughly once.
Rarity being somewhat relative, with distance providing a deceptive but effective cover for number and frequency, all of them together being a control of wisdom over knowledge.
Yet even these seeming corollaries of the idea of “nothing new under the sun” are just repeats of the idea with some frill on the edges enlightened for our benefit.
“…it is curiosity that gives meaning and savour to life.”
LIFE. Seems to be part of the design. No?
Have I BOTHERED you yet?
Maybe even a bit of trepidation – or even FEAR?
Good. THAT has happened before. “Nothing new under the sun.”
You can never go wrong with Solomon.
The Last Time Gene Therapy Was Reinvented
I keep trying to tell people – DNA is very smart. We are slowly learning how to talk to it. Sometimes we actually listen. Sometimes we even plagiarize.
DNA bargains and wheedles its way into the future, changing in whatever ways it has to, to keep itself alive. It gains as much vision of the future and the past that it can, using proteins, to persist as well as it can.
Think of it this way. DNA fights and feuds with DNA, but who wins in the end?
DNA.
NOTHING that these foolish young humans are trying to do with their coronaviruses, their “vaccines”, and their “gene therapy” is new to DNA. DNA came up with ALL of this stuff – AGAIN – at least 100 million years ago. THAT was its destiny. Ironically repeating like its own form.
I am absolutely serious. The technology of EVERY one of our wonderful new coronavirus vaccines (or “injections” or “gene therapies”, if you prefer) was RE-invented by DNA approximately 70-100 million years ago on this planet, and is still around.
ONE example of a prior reinvention of gene therapy resides in a tiny biological war-game where THREE organisms cut a deal that keeps them all alive. I will point out all of the “original versions” to you, and you will see where human science basically plagiarized.
One of the three organisms is an insect – a kind of wasp – that gravitated into using a living host for reliable reproduction. The second is a voracious plant-predatory host insect – a caterpillar – that needs a dependent predator to keep its numbers in steady balance, because it won’t do it itself. The third is a virus that found a way to survive by helping insure that the host-guest “life transfer” process always succeeded, so that it, too, would survive.
DNA uses ALL OF THEM to optimally persist.
The key to understanding all of this, is a kind of virus called a “polydnavirus”. I personally like to pronounce that “Poe-LID-na-virus”, even though that is wrong. They’re actually supposed to be called “Polly-D-N-A-virus”. My advice is pick whatever you like – you’re probably never going to have to say the word publicly – and on the internet, your canine pronunciation is always perfect.
Or just call them PDVs.
Wikipedia’s entry for them is an excellent place to start.
The bottom line is very simple. The wasp lays its eggs INSIDE a caterpillar by injection. However, instead of injecting a mere venom along with the egg – a kind of chemical weapon – the wasp injects a venom containing a VIRUS – a biological weapon. The virus provides biological effects like immune suppression that HELP the wasp egg survive, hatch, and grow. This is much more efficient than merely injecting, say, immunosuppressive proteins in the venom. The immune suppression by the virus prevents immune response by caterpillar cells known as hemocytes.
All of that is shown in the following graphic.
Here is one of the first really fascinating aspects of these polydnaviruses. When they are in the wasp, they are actually PART of the wasp genome. That’s right. They’re IN THE WASP’S CHROMOSOMES. The virus is now PART of the wasp’s genetics. One could even view it as the wasp sending PART OF ITS OWN GENES into the host, to make sure that the egg survives.
When the virus is still inside the wasp, it only comes out of the genes and reproduces in one place, in FEMALE wasps, near where the eggs are formed. It doesn’t harm the wasp, because DNA is NOT stupid. Viral DNA learned – the hard way – don’t shoot the pilot. Just stay in your seat until it’s time to debark. Wasp DNA learned – the hard way – let the jihadists sleep until we get to the airport we want them to shoot up. All of it mediated through the most annoying code in the world, with zero comments and nearly inscrutable, almost accidental language.
You remember those “well, it works” phone calls, coders. “I don’t know. Try this.”
Now – the next point is even cooler – because it’s the exact same strategy as the coronavirus vaccines that use viral vectors (e.g., Johnson+Johnson, Oxford/AstraZeneca, Sputnik V).
The infection does not lead to replication of new viruses, rather it affects the caterpillar’s immune system, as the virion carries virulence genes instead of viral replication genes.[4] They can be considered a type of viral vectors.[5]
The virus particles that are sent into the caterpillar are NOT reproductive – they are merely infective. They don’t code for creation of new virus, which might reproduce exponentially and kill the host or use up too many resources. Instead, the infective non-reproductive virus particles – just like the coronavirus vaccines – give a nice, predictable amount of expression of new proteins, useful for the wasp eggs and larvae to prosper. The virus basically CONSERVES caterpillar so that it has a ticket and a ride OUT of the dead caterpillar when it’s all over.
That’s the EXACT same strategy as our mRNA and DNA vaccines. Don’t crank out too much spike protein, by cranking out any new virus, and thereby kill the host. The main point is SAVING the host. The point may also be STERILIZING the host, to some extent, because THAT protein effect is beneficial to the injecting parasites known as the Democrat Party, globalist banks, and China. And probably more than one type of pencilneck. But they do want us to live – at least for some time, it would appear.
But seriously – the wasp polydnavirus immunosuppression strategy IS the human adenovirus vaccination strategy.
The only difference is what the proteins that are created DO. In the caterpillar, they suppress the immune system response to the egg or larva. In humans, the one protein stimulates antibodies to itself, and possibly does other things which are intended or not.
So you may be wondering how the virus gets from parent wasp to child wasp if the virus that is sent into the caterpillar host is not reproductive. AHA. It is because the virus is tucked into the GENOME of the baby wasp, safe and sound, for a ride into the future. The virus genome is essentially protected by the wasp.
Thus, you can see how genetic incorporation of the VIRUS benefits BOTH the wasp and the virus – and even – in a weird way – the caterpillar. The wasp gets to control the genetics and expression of the virus, so that they don’t cause the wasp too much trouble, but instead yield maximum benefit. The virus can then be more effective at its now exclusively delegated task of immune suppression in the caterpillar, by relinquishing reproduction to the wasp. Division of labor creates a great mutual dependency, but it also creates a strong contract.
One could say that genetic incorporation is a STRONGER CONTRACT between the virus and the wasp.
Just like genetic incorporation of COVID-19 spike protein could be a STRONGER CONTRACT of reduced human fertility.
But how does the caterpillar benefit?
The caterpillar is not going to live on as THAT particular caterpillar, but THAT particular baby caterpillar-culling wasp will live on in an assured 1:1 trade-off, and the REST of the caterpillars which benefit by the current culling will also live on as a stable population. The C-W-V balance is maintained BETTER by seeking a more stable chaotic resonance, without the wild swings of boom and bust, if wasp reproduction and population can be more closely tied to the caterpillar population, and they all live into the future without wild swings in numbers.
Another way to view it from the caterpillar perspective, is that viral efficiency minimizes the number of sacrificial caterpillars needed to keep the necessary number of wasps alive.
Now – we’ve seen viral vector vaccines analogous to the non-reproductive but infective polydnavirus virus particles – those would be the Johnson-+Johnson, AstraZeneca, and Sputnik V vaccines, which use adenoviral vectors for non-reproducing, protein-creating, virus DNA. But what about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines?
Well, it turns out that these {{{wasps + viruses}}} invented ANOTHER way to get DNA or RNA into the caterpillar host – those are called VLP, for “virus-like particles”. There is a lot of range and variability here, just as there is in non-viral-vector vaccine technology. So in the same way that the Pfizer, Moderna and Inovio vaccines use proprietary “virus-like lipid droplet nanotechnology” to get their mRNA or DNA into human cells and thus cranking out spike protein, wasp/virus DNA can also use a strategy of “virus-like particles” that don’t even mimic non-working viruses, and STILL get their effective DNA transferred to the caterpillar, to effect the desired expression of needed wasp/virus proteins in the caterpillar.
Now – that is not to say that PDV (polydnaviruses) and VLP (virus-like particles) are the only tricks up the ovipositors of these parasitic wasps. It turns out that – in addition to these well-described DNA viruses, there are also apparently RNA viruses which ride along with wasp eggs during injection. So YES – both DNA and RNA “vaccines” are part of the wasp injections. And YES – there can be genetic incorporation in the caterpillar cells – for their short lifespan – just as there is already genetic incorporation, long-term, in the wasps.
Remember – who wins? DNA WINS. The HOUSE always wins.
But don’t forget Novavax! It may just be protein, but protein shills for DNA!
Not only are the Novavax “pseudo-viral protein-based nanoparticles” already examples of virus-like particles – they are matched by protein-based components of the wasp venom, both free-floating or otherwise. Indeed, one cannot read about the virus-like spiked particles in this wasp venom and not think that Novavax design is pretty much the same thing.
NOW – this is all a LOT to unpack. Not just that, but my “dumbing it down” probably made it just plain dumber. To correct that, I’m going to let the experts FIX THINGS UP.
The field of polydnaviruses in insects is NOT a huge field. It’s actually rather obscure, despite the phenomenal importance we are witnessing now. Just as the media can help those in power hype and control a field like climate science, or literally HIDE certain other fields like [[[ COUGH ]]], they can obscure still other fields which radically affect you, by hiding them pretty much in plain sight.
There is a BOOK that reviews the field, however, which is EXTREMELY helpful.
You can download parts of this book, and that includes TWO parts which are more than enough for a reasonably smart normal person to see the CONTEXT EXPLAINED.
Let me get ONE of those parts out of the way because you’re not going to be interested in this, unless you’re ready to get VERY nerdy on the history of science. But I am including it because it is AMAZING STUFF. You might view this as “The history of the science of the rediscovery of all the evolutionarily discovered technology used in the “vaccines” or “shots” or “gene therapy” of the coronavirus genetic injections”. It’s a beautiful window into HOW SCIENCE WORKS.
You can download a PDF of this at the linked page.
Now – if you read that – you will get a LOT, including a window into the slow and painful nature of research, but it’s a bit difficult to extract the good stuff if you’re not used to reading scientific review literature.
In contrast, the PREFACE of the book is MUCH easier to read, and it puts ALL this stuff in context that normal humans who are not experts in polydnaviruses can understand.
I highly encourage you to read the full preface at the linked page. But what I’m going to do here is simply pull out all kinds of juicy quotes – which is damn near the whole thing. [ My comments ] and identified WOW sequences will be in bold.
Here we go – this is all quoting:
Among parasitoid viruses, the fascinating models of polydnaviruses (PDVs) were discovered in the 1970s and the new field of polydnavirology was thus opened.
This field has been moving very fast since the beginning of the century thanks to the use of genomic approaches and rapid expansion of accessible databases on insect and viral gene sequences.
Parasitoid and viral genomic studies have confirmed that PDVs are functionally gene transfer agents used by parasitoid wasps to manipulate the physiology of their parasitized lepidopteran hosts by introducing modified versions of their own genes into host cells.
In the case of PDVs from braconid wasps, this kind of gene therapy (detrimental for the patient, which is in this case the lepidopteran host!) originated from the integration of a virus genome in a wasp genome ca. 100 million years ago. [LOL – I just noticed this “being impressed by the date” part – looks like we BOTH realized this independently. -Wolf]
This virus has been modified to incorporate wasp genes instead of its own viral genome in the nucleocapsids inside the viral particles. [Minor beef here – ownership and original genetic penmanship on the payload could be more “virus” and less “wasp” – interesting problem.]
Such use of viruses as vectors has been selected several times independently during the evolution of parasitoid wasps. [There it is. VIRAL VECTORS. Invented by DNA.]
The PDVs associated with braconid and ichneumonid wasps (Campopleginae subfamily) are unrelated as judged from the machinery producing the particles, and they represent an example of convergent evolution with different viral origins.
A third association event is suspected to have occurred in the Banchinae subfamily of ichneumonid wasps. In essence, the parasitoids have ‘captured’ viral elements that have evolved a host regulatory role that benefits the parasitoid to facilitate successful parasitism. [This is more “archaeopteryx” on the payload being of viral origin.]
Other associations with viruses or virus-like particles might have evolved with different organisms but they have not been unraveled yet, and parasitic amoebae that have associations with mammalian viruses are just one example. [“Lots of room at the bottom.”]
Many insects have evolved associations with a large number of species of bacteria such as Wolbachia and associations with viruses have been less well studied to date compared to bacterial symbionts.
A number of different viruses are found in the genital tract of the parasitoid wasps and conceivably they could be transferred to female wasps by behavioral traits, such as host feeding, initiated following ovipositor puncture of the surface of the integument.
Host feeding may thus be an advantageous behavior for viruses which facilitates their spread within insect populations and this intimate association with viruses might have favored interactions leading in some cases to integration of viral sequences into the wasp genome, although most of the wasps described in this book are no longer host feeders.
These viruses include RNA viruses of insect parasitoids and most of them appear nonpathogenic. Could these likewise have evolved a symbiotic relationship with their host? Future research may reveal such an intimate relationship with the wasp host carrying them but, currently, we have little information about their functional role as symbionts or pathogens in the virus–wasp–insect host relationship. [This was in 2012 – the situation could be different now.]
While the study of polydnaviruses was initially inspired by the pioneering studies of George Salt and Susan Rotheram at Cambridge University, more recent studies of Venturia (formerly Nemeritis) canescens particles (the virus-like agent studied by George Salt) by Otto Schmidt and Sassan Asgari documented that these virus-like virions lack both DNA and RNA; the particles are comprised of proteins encoded by parasitoid genes. [This is basically virus-like particle nanotechnology akin to the Novavax vaccine.]
The multiplicity of different molecular forms seen in these viruses and virus-like particles is truly amazing but, compared to polydnaviruses, we have less information about the biology of virus-like particles and how they function. [There is clearly an infinitude of possibility here – clearly WHY the push for gene therapy.]
Finally, not all parasitoid species are associated with viruses and most in this category have to rely on virulence factors produced by their ovaries and venom glands instead of using the host to produce them like for PDV-encoded gene products. [Translation – most of the wasps use plain old venom.]
PDV-associated species also produce venom that was shown in some cases to synergize the effect of the virus. [Combination biological and chemical weaponry.]
New sequencing approaches are more comprehensive and will thus allow comparisons of the arsenal of proteins used in different species, which will enhance our understanding of the dynamics of evolution of parasitoid virulence strategies. [Big data will allow spying on the past to happen even faster.]
Ectoparasitic wasps have not been examined yet for the presence of viral symbionts, and appear to have exploited venoms as a source of host regulatory molecules instead. Comparative studies on paralyzing versus nonparalytic venoms are lacking, and screening ectoparasitic species for viral elements should also be a future research priority. [Translation: there’s more to learn from regular stinging / paralyzing wasps.]
In addition to enhancing our knowledge of parasitoid strategies and increasing our understanding of the importance of symbiotic relationships in species evolution, parasitoid viruses and venoms may constitute a source of new molecules to control insect pests. This might be a revolutionary outcome of research on PDVs and other parasitoid viruses, since the safety of many chemical pesticides with respect to their detrimental impacts on human health and key species in the environment such as bees and other beneficial insects, is questioned. [You think proteins are going to be safer? HA! Get ready for new problems.] We anticipate that harvesting biopesticidal molecules from parasitoid venoms will likewise prove fruitful. [Translation: All this human wasp techno coronavirus lying crap is headed to agriculture, and presumably already there. Yeah.]
Finally, we hope that this book will satisfy the reader by presenting an overview of the most recent findings on all these topics presented by an international assemblage of authors. [You can say that again!]
In addition, we aim to inspire many future researchers to choose polydnavirology or studies of other parasitoid viruses or viral-like elements and venoms as their focus field. [You’ve inspired me, even though it’s a bit late for me to enroll in one more Marxist university.]
That’s it.
I tell you – this whole thing was a revelation. Suddenly, everything these people in Big Pharma have been doing has been HUMBLED BY GOD, using BUGS. LOL! Pretty amazing.
And being humbled, all of us, the TRUTH now becomes clear.
Now – if all this seems a bit scary, but you’re thinking “Hey, this isn’t exactly like our case, in which Democrats mind-fracked their victims with an RNA virus” – well, HOLD YOUR BEERS. With God – IRONICALLY – all things are possible.
Yes, this, too – baffling the victim with an RNA virus – was borrowed from nature, although I am being just a wee bit facetious, since it was done much more intelligently and much more socially against a more intelligent and social species.
The Case of the Shanghaied Babysitter
Yeah, I’ll try to keep this one shorter, but I don’t really have to go back TOO MUCH to the original literature here.
Here is where I FOUND this case originally. An article that was COPIED onto a forum.
This is actually a very long and complete scientific article. Let me give you the “TL;DR” version.
When the wasp lays an egg in the ladybug, it also injects an RNA virus. That virus makes the ladybug go “mask Karen” crazy, and stick around and GUARD the pupated larval wasp after it emerges from the ladybug and cocoons. The ladybug may then even kick the virus and go on living after the young wasp departs.
Yeah, let me HIGH FIVE that long-hauler ladybug.
Just sayin’.
Democrats.
SPIT.
SO – where are we now?
Is Phony Gene Therapy About Population Control?
We have now looked at the COVER PRESENT (coronavirus and vaccines), the EFFECTIVE PRESENT (spike protein virus and vaccines), the LIKELY DEEPER MOTIVATING PRESENT (contraceptive / abortive virus and “vaccines” that look pretty much like public “health” gene therapy), and the PURPOSED ORIGINAL HONEST PAST (infection and/or genetic modification of the injected to produce desired effects using RNA viruses and/or specialized viral vectors) – the latter insect past being a lot like what is happening now.
Are you ready for the FUTURE?
Well, there’s a lot of range on that. Maybe it’s THIS…..
Now I know a lot of y’all are, like me, saying “Yeah, that will be a cold day in hell!” But let’s consider it anyway. It helps to understand things.
WHY would Hillary say this, about Trump’s possible winning in 2016?
What crime could POSSIBLY send hundreds of historic conspirators to some horrible fate like what happened to the NAZIS? They would have had to have done something even more horrible – right?
Well, viewed in “holocaust” (small “h”) terms, an “abortion virus” followed by “abortion vaccines” might count.
It’s a pretty ingenious idea. If you honestly believe that overpopulation threatens the planet, and that stopping it “by any means necessary” is justified, then the idea of:
taking a modifiable cold virus but…..
don’t call it that, so people will be AFRAID
warm up the FEAR CROWD with SARS, Ebola, Zika, etc.
use a cold with its own moderate antiprogestogenic or oxytocin hormonal activity, or some other way of exerting a contraceptive or abortive activity
optionally increase that activity
release the virus
create vaccines with the same effect
require ongoing vaccines to titrate the effect on society
To me, this is very much like the wasp strategy, only instead of hijacking the juvenile butterfly with immunosuppressive negative gene therapy in a PRO-FERTILITY strategy for its own offspring, what the Democrats are doing is an ANTI-FERTILITY strategy using progestosuppressive negative gene therapy on basically all humans who are not in on the scam. And they also used an RNA virus to mess with our minds, though THAT was a bit artful, shall we say.
Now, I think the success or failure of their operation is going to depend on the ultimate level of contraception that is achieved here. The effect on society will depend on whether the Dems, globalists, and Chinese are trying to pull off a very steep and fast population drop that would generate a social immune reaction, or a long, slow, incremental one that would not. We probably won’t know this for several years.
But just consider this “back of the envelope” calculation.
Let’s say that Demmunists require 2 coronavirus boosters every year. Say that between compliance and effectiveness, ONE of those boosters is effectively pregnancy-blocking for any pregnancy currently in process. Run this over all of humanity, so that once every year, every woman is hit with a “menstruation and miscarriage vaccine” using the spike protein. With a pregnancy window of 75% of the year, that target is the broad side of a barn, as long as CDC continues to insist that it’s safe for pregnant women, or women who are trying to become pregnant. You would get massive observable menstruation and miscarriages after vaccination, and the plot would not last.
It’s not a SUSTAINABLE LIE.
BUT – as long as the effect is random, subtle, and single-digits, it can be hidden by a compliant scientific community, which is socially conditioned to reject the truth. Even bigger, control of social media, communications, and other avenues of discovering the truth, mean society can be kept completely blind to a subtle population control.
But seriously – reducing the fertility of humans by 5% is a BIG DEAL. It doesn’t mean it’s the end of it. It’s a GOOD BEGINNING – from their point of view.
You’ve got to look at this thing, like you’re trying to pull it off, to see that you really COULD pull it off.
And if we could pull it off, they will pull it off.
So – that’s where I’m at.
And if I’m right, they will NEVER FACE JUSTICE for what they’re doing.
So here is a rule about Democrats.
Democrats, China and other communists will always pick an unjust fait accompli over a just agreement.
Thus, as long as they do things where the price of tolerating their crimes is less than the cost of a civil war, they will just keep doing those things.
Give them nothing but one more day to rue, and the wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Remain CIVIL and possibly even GENTEEL.
Today we have FOUR SHORT LESSONS in politically incorrect WOLFTHINK.
Watch The Water
One of the beautiful things that the Q team did, as part of not only its “comms”, but also its psy-opping, and its deniability, was to communicate to us in double, triple, and higher entendres. It was poetry, which not only made it CUNNING, but also ATTRACTIVE, INSPIRING, and even BEAUTIFUL.
Sure, SOME people will “read things in” wrongly, or too little, or too much, but overall, SOME will figure out TRUE THINGS, and what they figure out will spread.
The GENIUS of the COMMS is a proof unto itself.
I cannot tell you if Q originally intended for us to “get” WATER ISLAND as a sly tip in “WATCH THE WATER”, but OMG – it’s a GOLD MINE, intended or not.
Thanks to ValCur, who is NOT ValJar, I researched a photo and was led to THIS ARTICLE:
I simply CANNOT recommend this article highly enough.
This is real corruption, and the article both explains it, and EXCUSES IT.
This article is trying to IMMUNIZE Biden against damage from not just this story, but also the deeper parts of the scandal, by PRESENTING and CONTROLLING one of the lesser parts. You can read the “excusing of corruption” at every step. It’s intentionally demoralizing – like – “yeah, he will get away with it, because, well, lookie here, this might just be innocent because of THIS.”
Likewise, there is NO mention of Jeffrey Epstein ANYWHERE in the article. And yet, Water Island is SO CLOSE to Epstein Island, and so convenient for traffic to it, utterly unobserved, that it really makes one think Politico is deliberately walling off Epstein by poking up a smaller scandal in the way and saying “nothing to see here – why don’t you just GO HOME?”
Here is how to locate Water Island on the map above.
Epstein Island is located at the circular location marker up and to the left (NW) of the added text. That marker is RIGHT ON Little St. James, a.k.a. Epstein Island. There is another, adjacent, island of similar but slightly larger size, just up and to the left (NW) of that – this is Great St. James. Epstein also bought THAT island – SECRETLY – the story is NASTY and INTRIGUING, and is described HERE:
Great St. James is off the shore of the BIGGER island to the left, St. Thomas. The capitol city in the center is Charlotte Amalie, clearly labeled in the map. Just below and slightly to the left (SSW) of the label for Charlotte Amalie, and really almost part of the city, is Water Island – unlabeled in the map above.
In this map of St. Thomas and surrounding smaller islands, you can clearly see both Water Island in the center, and Epstein’s two islands in the lower right corner, unlabeled, southeast of the hamlet of Red Hook. Hassel Island, next to Water Island, is mostly uninhabited, and serves as an historical park.
Water Island is a bit like a gated community, although it’s not all that ritzy. I will include a link to a HUGE, high-resolution image of it. Here is a smaller image:
NOW – if you are wondering about how to get from Water Island to Epstein Island, then you may want to get distracted by discrediting theories of submarines, based on the fascinating history of submarines on St. Thomas, and military activities on both St. Thomas and Water Island. However, to be quite frank, it’s just easier to hop on a boat. As you can see in the above picture, boats are everywhere, and there is so much boat traffic, it’s quite easy to lose track of any one boat, let alone any one passenger.
NOW – here is the interesting point from the article. It’s how the Bidens were basically GIVEN a nice parcel of land on Water Island by a lobbyist friend.
The Bidens bought a desirable plot of land.
The Bidens split the land into three subplots.
The Bidens then SOLD one subplot to the lobbyist for the FULL PRICE of the FULL PLOT.
This left the Bidens with over 2/3 of the land FOR FREE – GRATIS – by being OVERPAID for part of it.
The Bidens then secured LOAN MONEY from the lobbyist using the other two plots as collateral.
Now, if that’s confusing, it’s supposed to be. It’s money laundering. What the lobbyist did was give the Bidens PROPERTY, and then let them CASH IN on it with loans.
Say, didn’t the Bidens get money from the Chinese that way, too? Some of it as cash – some of it as LOANS?
Whatever. It’s all very ugly.
Now, the REAL question is whether Hunter Biden was ever on Epstein Island.
I think we’re about to find out.
Get your popcorn now.
And now for a scandal closer to home.
OMG! A LIBTARD POSTED ON THE Q TREE!
Fake News Drain-Circling Psychosis
We got one comment in MODERATION which – well – this person is, shall we say, not a good fit for this site. She is welcome to visit our Gab Group where people can individually “turn her off”, but since we can’t do it here, she did NOT survive “Wolf’s Extreme Vetting“.
This is a MAGA site. If you take BASIC ISSUE with our purpose, you’re probably going to disrupt our day-to-day purpose, which is to support TRUMP. Can’t have that.
However, I think it’s worthwhile to consider what she had to say, so here it is.
All of these folks need to watch the real news and stop the brainwash they are getting from Fox. Amy Barrett will go down as the the SCJ selected by an impeached president in an effort to get himself re-elected so that he can’t be criminally charged for his wrong doings . He couldn’t care less about abortion , our healthcare or whether we live or die. His lack of action to mitigate Covid 19 has made that quite clear. He. did stack the court with far right conservatives in his plan to deprive us of a legitimate vote to rid us if this non-patriot when he refuses to concede and takes away our right to choose a president by putting the decision before the stacked far right Supreme Court that he has weaponized. Save our democracy, despite your hatred of Obama, save our democracy. Wake up , America can’t take four more years of the criminality of the Trump family.
This is, I’m fairly certain, the mentality of people who are still voting for Joe Biden. Now, first of all, many of us here don’t even watch Fox News, since it’s basically the OUTER LIMITS of establishment “allowed” thinking. Sure, there are some great journalists there, like Tucker Carlson, but then again, those are exactly the “far right” personalities that this poster surely rejects.
But as for “real news” – HEY BABY – that is US.
The news – the real news – is something we have to ferret out, past all the lies.
While I’m not going to respond to all of the specific “accusations against Trump” here, I think some are worth addressing.
First, I want to assure this poster (HoH, hereafter) that Amy Coney Barrett is not going to do all the bad things that she (HoH) is afraid of, although Justice Barrett will make SOME decisions which will be INCONVENIENT for Democrat POLICY and POLITICS. However, Barrett will likely UPHOLD liberal policies which are soundly rooted in law, and thus, the poster HoH will be PLEASANTLY SURPRISED on occasion. Possibly many occasions, if she’s just a deluded liberal, and not a lying leftist.
The impeached president stuff, of course, means nothing without a conviction. Bill Clinton survived impeachment, so there is nothing to score here, but I hesitate to use that comparison, because it is a FALSE SYMMETRY. Bill Clinton’s impeachment MATTERED. Trump’s impeachment was blatantly FALSE, and the work of criminals. Fake News consternation aside, Adam Schiff is in trouble for falsely accusing Trump and furthering a HOAX PROSECUTION.
Hoaxes matter. And so do SOME impeachments.
Why did Bill Clinton’s impeachment matter? It was just about SEX – right?
Yes – that is TRUE, although technically it was about LYING about sex. And THAT betrays the much deeper problem of BETRAYAL.
I am now of a belief that CHINA has targeted a particular type of politician who they believe will SELL OUT AMERICA. Bill Clinton and Joe Biden are specific examples of this kind of politician.
politically amoral or sociopathic
sexually immoral
willing to take bribes
married to a spouse PERSONALLY invested in the politician’s success
spouse will support illegalities and immoralities
pol is FAITHLESS to the spouse – betrayal is second nature
both pol and spouse do not return ANGER to blackmail or betrayal, but DEEPEN TIES instead
These are politicians who LIGHT UP China’s “Blue-Gold-Yellow” (BGY) program by giving up intelligence, taking bribes, and being faithless to spouse, God and country.
Trump has done nothing like what Bill Clinton did, even when he “dated around”, shall we say, before and between marriages.
Bill Clinton betrayed our country. He took money from China to do things not in the interests of the United States. All of Trump’s alleged “betrayals” have proven to have been manufactured LIES by people who DID get in bed with China, Russia, Ukraine or Iran.
As for Trump “not really caring” about abortion, healthcare, and OUR LIVES – sorry. Look for the big picture here to not be delusional. Just one – healthcare – Trump FORCED Republicans to accept HIS POSITION on OUR pre-existing conditions. And on COVID-19, we see that he sacrificed HIS ECONOMY to not take a chance on OUR LIVES.
Which brings us to COVID-19.
This is a good one. Trump WINS here, if you dig even slightly below the weak lies of the Biden Coupists. I could get into the deeper weeds of what is REALLY going on here – where I draw in some of the stuff that will appears momentarily in the NEXT parts of this post, but I’m setting aside those items for now.
Why? Because it turns out that viruses are vastly more complicated and subtle than we realized, and most people are not really aware of the nastier parts of the story, which “real science” ADMITS, but kinda slides over to the side of the discussion table, and gets all COUGH COUGH about the nastier parts.
Most people in this world will be SHOCKED when they understand. They will be shocked at how science SCREWED UP in how it responded to the truth about viruses, too. Firing Judy Mikovits did NOT make the complexity of the truth go away – it just delayed things.
And COVID-19 has a lot to do with that. It was a CHEAP MOVE in science, to FORCE Trump to “buy in” to a moneyed and “almost true” but irresponsible position which PROTECTS Tony Fauci.
Nope. We’re going to stick to the SLIGHTLY PHONY STORY – the “standard theory” of viruses, without the problems and the lies – we’re going to PLAY ALONG with what gets printed on the glossy pages in the check-out line – the simple story that leaves the nasty REALITY of viruses OUT, so that MONEY can be obtained through vaccines which treat the part of the story we’re allowed to see.
That is where Trump played along, too, but ACTUALLY CARED about treating people, and BOOM – we have real treatments like HCQ, Regeneron, and (bad as it is) remdesivir. We have vaccines that will work on a subset of colds, although, sadly, SOME OF THEM may cause cancers, immune disorders, and immunodeficiency as well, long term, if you take the wrong ones, and we don’t know which ones those are. It’s rough science, with some very nasty “known unknowns”.
But we’ll deal with it. Soon.
Stocks are already banking on Novavax making money due to its older technology evading concerns on mRNA and DNA, and rightly so. This despite the fact that mRNA and viral vector vaccines are running ahead in terms of trials.
STAY TUNED.
But most of all, Trump did the smart things – the obvious things – and they worked. He did NOT listen to the lies that closing borders would be ineffective. Trump closed the borders and saved lives – although CHINA lied even earlier, and got cases here in January and even December.
It’s very clear to me how our Democrat-allied medical bureaucrats, in league with China, tried to carry out a coup using a new coronavirus and a media scare. When all is revealed, there will be many firings, and convictions, too.
But not yet. We’re “Biden” our time, so to speak.
As for the rest of HoH’s comment – well – it’s mostly a very “Fake News” perspective. Fake News hates Trump, and more importantly hates people like ME, because they’re invested in decades of lies. Those lies are coming undone. WE are not the ones hiding the evidence presented by the other side.
You will not disrupt our TRUTH-SEEKING ALTERNATIVE to the FAKE NEWS.
My mother saw the SAME THING happen to the Nazis. When the Nazi regime fell apart, like the decades-long leftist infiltration is falling apart now, or when ANY socialist regime falls apart, the TRUTH makes a certain sector of the old socialist guard just GO NUTS.
As the DRAIN IS CIRCLED, the cries get shriller, and the ear-covering gets ridiculous.
“Good Obama” – “Good Joe Biden” – “Good Fuehrer” – it’s all the same. They were PHONIES propped up by the media, and when the media falls, THEY FALL.
Trump is not propped up by the media. He SHUNNED their approval from the beginning.
ASK WHY.
There will be people – the “true believers” – who cannot FACE THE DIFFICULT TRUTHS. They won’t CALL the corruption what it is – they won’t even look at it.
The Nazis did not ALLOW discussion of the truth. They – like the communists they are SO SIMILAR TO, would DISRUPT any discussion of the truth. They would keep everything they didn’t want OUT OF THE NEWS and HIDDEN from the People. If people TALKED about it, those voices were DISRUPTED or SQUELCHED. Often BRUTALLY.
THAT is socialism, and we’re SHUTTING IT DOWN.
We WILL NOT live under it. Period.
Join Gab. My advice. Left or right. The TRUTH will come for you there. Like it or not.
I wish House of Heart well in her travels.
Vaya con Dios.
And, if you don’t believe in God, stay classy, and vaya con Dior.
Why I’m Shilling Novavax
BEGIN TL;DR /
I have recently seen or heard a variety of things (I will explain – see WHY below), which have combined to convince me that mRNA and *especially* DNA vaccines are TOO RISKY relative to the *actual* dangers of the China Virus, to be a SAFE choice for people who are NOT in a high-risk category relative to COVID-19 infection.
Now, this is just my personal stance at the moment, and it is subject to change. But right now, my opinion is as follows:
For people not at great risk of harm from the DISEASE, it pays to WAIT until the sum of ALL POSSIBLE RISKS of any particular individual vaccine, experienced over the LIKELY REMAINDER OF LIFE, falls below the known risks of the disease for that person RIGHT NOW.
This is a pure RISK / BENEFIT analysis, using both KNOWN SCIENCE and SCIENTIFIC UNKNOWNS.
This is EXACTLY in keeping with Trump’s family’s INDIVIDUAL DECISIONS on COVID-19 treatments. Trump himself took TWO experimental treatments. His wife and son, both younger, took NO experimental treatments.
If we were dealing with airborne Ebola – WHICH WE ARE NOT – then it would make sense to give most people mRNA and DNA vaccines and “hope for the best”. That is NOT THE CASE, and we need to stop pretending that it is. The “COVID hype” has FAILED, and those who continue it, need to be made to answer for it. It’s time for HONESTY.
Thus, FOR YOUR KIDS of FUTURE KIDS, and for anybody not at high risk, I recommend the Novavax vaccine as less risky for long-term development of CANCER and IMMUNE DISORDERS, both of which are foreseeable potential risks of nucleic acid vaccine biotechnologies, which risks cannot be properly tested for, in the short term, in my opinion.
On the other hand, for those in high-risk COVID groups who need vaccines NOW, and particularly the elderly, any of the vaccines that show short-term safety and efficacy are reasonable risk choices, relative to any possible but unknown long-term consequences.
/END TL;DR
BEGIN WHY /
In my opinion, the risks of mRNA and DNA vaccines are like DES was for children of women who took it – they are LONG-TERM risks, and potentially transmissible to children.
We have been GASLIT into the “need” to take new, relatively untested vaccines, and “hoping for the best”.
NO. Just NO.
In my opinion, ONLY people either (1) at high risk of DEATH from COVID-19, due to age and/or comorbidities, OR (2) those who are willing to BRAVELY VOLUNTEER, at the risk of late-in-life cancer or immune disorders, possibly even to their children, to find out if mRNA and DNA vaccines are actually SAFE long term, should take the “novel” mRNA or DNA vaccines.
It will be YEARS before we know if these technologies are either guaranteed safe or controllably safe (meaning we know how to make them safe against ALL potential gotchas).
I’m not saying that we should not make and in some cases TAKE these vaccines. I’m saying that these vaccines have KNOWN and EASILY FORESEEABLE LONG-TERM RISKS, and we are NOT being open and honest about those risks.
The Chinese are being very cautious about the new vaccine technologies, both because they are a bit behind, and because they are basically letting Americans experiment on Americans. However, the Chinese are also taking risks just by pushing primarily the very oldest-style vaccines, which are at extremely high risk of immune enhancement phenomena.
Because the Novavax vaccine is using BOTH modern technology which evades immune enhancement, AND established technology which has a proven safety record, and is NOT taking RISKS inherent to mRNA and DNA technologies, I am of the opinion that it is the most THEORETICALLY SAFE of the vaccines thus far.
I would give Novavax to my own children without worry, based on what I know now. I would only give an mRNA or DNA alternative to an OLDER RELATIVE or one with a serious comorbidity. If my parents were alive right now, both thus being VERY old with SERIOUS comorbidities, I would almost certainly advise that they get the first available vaccine, since all the front-runners appear to be headed for approval when phase 3 tests are done, IMO.
Now – let me explain my position.
Regarding viruses and vaccines, I am quite familiar with the broader topics in biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and other relevant sciences, and even the “basics” of how viruses and vaccines work. However, I was NOT aware of the nitty-gritty of viruses and vaccines until recently, as I began to try to understand the different vaccine and therapeutic offerings which are coming in Operation Warp Speed.
I was shocked, at the beginning, to discover that the very first coronavirus vaccine mentioned in my news feed, the Inovio offering, was in fact a DNA vaccine. I had to DIG to discover that aspect. It was not even mentioned in the “top-level” Twitter-mediated links. Indeed, I had to dig just to find Bill Gates mentioned.
The details of the Inovio vaccine are quite interesting.
Digging into the OTHER vaccines in the running, I discovered that for every DNA vaccine, there were several mRNA vaccines (m = “messenger”) also in the running, and the mRNA vaccines were actually more advanced in terms of clinical trials.
The above list is the state of things in MAY, as far as vaccines in clinical trials. Now, jump to July.
Now, I could have spent a lot of time reading paywall-slipping scientific literature (very difficult for poor “people’s scientists” like me to find), trying to come to my own opinion about the safety of mRNA and DNA vaccines, but I found a faster way to “poll scientists past the fake news” – that was simply to raise the red flag on RNA and DNA vaccines, and see how fast the industry shot down my red flag. If mRNA and DNA vaccines were obviously and inherently safe, there should have been a DOGPILE of both scientists and shills to “correct” me.
Instead, there were CRICKETS.
What I did next was even more desperate. I started calling these vaccines “genetic modification” – a direct and specific accusation, which should have been SHOT DOWN HARD WITH SOUND SCIENCE if genetic incorporation of some kind was not a risk. That meme spread, and I watched what happened.
Instead of saying “GENES CANNOT BE MODIFIED BY THESE VACCINES!”, there was several kinds of weak counter-arguments, based on definitions, assertions, and ideals. Nobody ever “did the John Kasich” and said “Vaccines can’t modify your genes – that’s crazy talk!” There was dancing around the core accusation – never even an attempt at a solid rebuttal.
Now, you have to understand – I’ve gotten “that’s crazy talk” for a whole lot more obviously REAL stuff than this plausible but kinda freaky idea, that vaccines might mess with your genes. I found that VERY surprising. I know how scientists and left-wing “science is real” types love to correct other people, and most of all “errant scientists”, when they step on thin ice.
Was I actually on SOLID GROUND?
Leave it to a “Twitter Angel” to sneak up on me and drop a huge hint – “CRISPR” – in a reply. The person accused COVID-19 vaccines of INTENTIONALLY modifying our genes.
One quick search to validate, and…..
WHOA, NELLY!
It turns out that there ARE, IN FACT, VACCINES which depend on genetic modification. They use CRISPR-Cas9 technology to make gene insertions.
That headline actually HIDES the current state of research – in which WORKING VACCINES which “edit the genes of T cells” are not just someday, but RIGHT NOW, and showing desirable results.
HOWEVER, as far as I can tell, NONE of the current coronavirus vaccines – NONE of them – intentionally edit genes.
However, you would be shocked not only how easy that is to do – meaning EDITING your DNA – what’s even more shocking is how easily it is to do badly, and cause problems.
AS RETROVIRUSES, IN FACT, DO.
However, before I get to retroviruses, which “seal the deal” for me on making the sign of the cross at mRNA and DNA vaccines, I need to talk about TWO other things.
First, CANCER.
The October 19, 2020 issue of Molenium Magazine, a.k.a. Chemical & Engineering News, has a really great cover story, on a tumor phenomenon known somewhat generally as “circular DNA”, more commonly as “extrachromosomal DNA” (ecDNA), and also as “extrachromosomal circular DNA” (eccDNA), but be careful, because for whatever weird historical reasons, ALL of it seems to be circular, and ecDNA is regarded as a subset of eccDNA, rather than the other way around.
Let’s repeat for clarity.
This article is about “little circles of DNA”, referred to as ecDNA, or extra-chromosomal DNA, which seem to be tied to tumor resistance and survival. ecDNA is the name traditionally associated with the little circles of DNA prevalent in TUMORS.
It’s an exciting and active area of research, and I highly recommend the article. Note that the author is Ryan Cross, who has done all kinds of great vaccine reporting for C&EN.
What do you know, the Inovio DNA vaccine for coronavirus injects you with little circular bits of DNA, too!
That image is from a GREAT slideshow, which explains the FANTASTIC (and I mean it) probable and in some cases PROVEN upside of the technology.
You will note, as you watch the slideshow, that the technology is even useful AGAINST virus-caused cancers, by increasing immunity to those specific viruses. The POSITIVES on the technology are GREAT.
But what about the downside? What are the RISKS of new technology so similar to what it is being used against – meaning little bits of DNA or RNA that CAUSE tumors?
Well, there’s nothing in the slideshow. But let’s ask ON OUR OWN.
NOW – the circular DNA used by the vaccine is referred to as a plasmid.
Plasmid is another name for a small circle of DNA. Not only are plasmids of certain natures very similar to the circular DNA (ecDNA) expressed BY tumors in humans (see above article), the plasmids of some bacteria can actually CAUSE tumors, e.g., the “Ti plasmid”, which stands for Tumor-inducing plasmid, which infects and causes galls to form in plants, by hijacking their cells using DNA.
Now – I’m not arguing that plasmid-based vaccines, working as they are SUPPOSED TO WORK, are going to cause cancer, or are even LIKELY to cause cancer. But I’m not going to exclude the possibility – the KNOWN UNKNOWN – that if something goes wrong, they MIGHT cause cancer.
To see how REASONABLE it is to associate cancer with eccDNA of various kinds, just read about those “names” for the circular DNA that I was just mentioning. BOTH Wikipedia articles have extensive sections on the role of these types of DNA in cancer.
And now, let’s make things even WORSE, by adding VIRUSES and IMMUNE DISORDERS.
Now – I’m not a “true believer” in Judy Mikovits. However, her obsession with XMRVs (a type of retrovirus) has really forced me to understand just how much of a MESS viruses actually are. The REALITY of retroviruses is GODAWFUL. Viruses, and particularly retroviruses, have made a complete MESS of RNA and DNA. They LITERALLY write themselves into the genome like GRAFFITI IN BOOKS, and they’ve damn near filled the books. Worse still, they started doing it so long ago, and have done it so much – to the point that some think retroviruses are RESPONSIBLE for DNA evolving as a solution to genetic storage – that I’m not even sure that this history occurred ON THIS PLANET.
It is extremely worthwhile to read the following, including the sections on gene therapy and CANCER, to understand the BASICS of retroviruses.
All of this is not enough to “know” that DNA and mRNA vaccines are going to do anything “bad” in the long term. But it is VERY apparent that DNA and RNA are a MESS – the “cental dogma” of untouchable, royally decreeing DNA is a laughable LIE, and vaccine biology operates in a china shop filled with blind lunatics on bicycles, drunk bears, and children with firehoses.
Everything taken together, I simply don’t trust the new mRNA and DNA vaccines to have figured out known unknowns, let alone unknown unknowns, that won’t become evident for 75 years and 2 generations.
My advice? Avoid the part of the “central dogma” that is blatantly untrue – that DNA is “read-only” except by blessed mechanisms.
PROTEIN IS SAFETY (disregarding snake venoms, of course). If you are risk averse, PROTEIN like NOVAVAX is where to take your chances.
Thus, you will be seeing me shilling primarily for Novavax, particularly to the vaccine hesitant, the young, the healthy, and the future or present parents. I will shill the other stuff to the other folks.
Now you know why.
Calling All Prayer Warriors
I get a lot of revelations in the shower, but they’re usually of a scientific or political nature, not a religious one.
This one just hit me like a ton of bricks, but gentle as a breeze. When in my mind, troubled by the days ahead, I uttered the words HAND OF GOD – I immediately felt a powerful understanding and peace wash over me – PEACE AND STRENGTH – and right then, I knew that this was something that must be shared.
We need to pray for the HAND OF GOD to descend on us with power, comfort, and STRENGTH, so that we may stand firm and resolute – to NOT be incited to violence – to stand for PEACE when the easy solution is WAR.
To not be afraid, but rather to be confident. To go forth strongly and with PURPOSE, clear in our righteousness, filled with mercy and understanding.
Remember it, when you are troubled.
HAND OF GOD.
And your troubles will be swept away, with POWER not your own.
