With Canada's health minister recently stating that Trudeau's subjects would never be fully vaccinated and mentioning the plan for a jab every 9 months, and the Brandon administration placing an order for 105 million doses of injectable toxin, this drama is not going away any time soon in North America.

President Effjoe's administration has, very troublingly, been disregarding Supreme Court decisions that go against the feelings of the Orcs who comprise his voter base. It might be time to make it official and add the image of a banana to the stars and stripes...

Add to it the insanity going on in the Netherlands and my advice to all is to move to a Red State, if possible, purchase canned goods and a water purification system. Oh, and you can never have too much ammo.

I have been living in Mexico for ten years (American expatriate). Un-vaxxed and never tested. You have considerably more individual freedom here than in the United States. The main reason for that is lack of government. The central government is weak, and the state and local governments barely function at all. The roads are more-or-less paved, and if you call 911 a fire truck eventually shows up, but other than that the government doesn't do much. There's just no money. And there is no greater threat to personal liberty than a well-funded government.

There were no vaccine mandates here in Mexico, that I know of. I think some of the universities required vaccinations to return to classes, but those students that opted out could simply continue their studies remotely / on-line. There certainly was none of the coercion here like there was in the United States. I also did not see nearly the level of panic here that I saw in the United States. And there was never any question of the government forcibly vaccinating people. The government is far too poor and weak for that, and the Mexican people would not go for it anyway. The Mexicans do not trust their government or their institutions to begin with, except for possibly the navy (which has a good reputation). The government's approach seems to be to leave health policies up to the individual states, make the vaccine available if people want it, and get on with life. I rarely hear anyone discussing covid or talking about vaccines. It's just not part of the daily dialogue. I did drive past a vaccination site this past Saturday and saw there was a large group of people queued up to get jabbed. And there a few advertisements here and there bleating, "Vacunate! Para ella!" (get vaccinated! for her!) showing a young person with a grandmother. So Mexico is definitely on-board with the covid/vax scam but the campaign seems to be in low gear, at least compared to the United States. Good luck.

The "get vaxxinated for the elderly" is a STRONG motivation here. I know a number of people who keep getting boosted so they don't infect their elderly parent.

Here's the catch: if your elderly parent is vaxxed, they can still catch and spread c0vid. If YOU are vaxxed, you can still catch and spread c0vid. If you are unvaxxed, you can still catch and spread c0vid. So the benefit of vaxxing is what again?

Oh yea. "It wasn't as bad."

The thing won't take me back to my comment, but I agree with you on that! Sorry if I misunderstood you. SARS COV II is patented. In my mind, there NO other reason for that unless it's Gain-of-Function. Maybe it's meant to be kind of mild, unless it's "activated" by EMF's, like 5G... this is something dancing through my brain, I don't know. But if they'd loosed a really bad bio-weapon on us, it might have tipped us off too soon... I know they've put a lot of planning into this... Anyway, cheers.

Expand full comment

There is some evidence for spike protein shedding,I don't have the references now.

Why would you invent a bioweapon which was not capable of spreading by shedding?

I haven't figured out how to generate 5G pulses yet, but there are sufficient from the cell towers that I have not worried about autogeneration.

Two part bioweapon: covid and the vaxx.

Expand full comment

It seems the EMF's, not just 5G, but any EMF, causes the metals in the jabs to sort of "assemble" and when they do, it somehow makes them sort of shred the insides of the blood vessels... Nice, eh? I have no knowledge of "autogeneration," but EMF's alone can feel like a case of the flu... There's also something causing a lot of weird clotting, long bits of white, plastic-looking substance pulled out of the blood vessels of corpses... Pretty freakin hideous.

I live in Ensenada, Baja California. Like you, Corey, my impression is that people just aren't making Covid a super big deal here. Masks are no longer required anywhere. It used to be that you had to mask up to enter businesses. Machine temperature checks and hand sanitizer were everywhere. The government must have changed the risk assessment because that stuff is going away. Nobody here asks my vaxx status and I don't think I'd get hit with a tidalwave of judgement if they knew I was unvaxxed.

Mark my words: there will come a time when your unvaxxxed status will deem you a very wise person.

And an alive human.

I live in a similar country, but the gubmint did institute lockdowns, curfews, and forced vaxxxes for anyone going to ANY public space, like a grocery store. The only exception was a 3-day PCR which costs $85 here. $85 to go shop for food!

That said, they have recently done away with mandates, and nobody is getting vaxxxxed or boosted. There are supposedly millions of doses that expire in October.

We are not vaxxxed and want to visit, and eventually move back to my lifetime home state of FL. I am a US citizen so the Feebs vaxxx mandate exempts me. My wife is not vaxxxxed. Based on numerous unvaxxxed friends and family who have successfully traveled to the states since the mandate we will give a trip a try.

They have vax or testing mandates for entry into some European countries such as Portugal but nobody there gives a shit, nothing is ever checked. Same in Italy, we all got tested but nobody at the airport checked anything.

The German government was well funded since about 1960 due to high taxes and a strong economy. Personal freedom was very good until recently. The government pretty much left me alone throughout the first 40 years of my life, besides a mandate for kids to go to school for exactly 10 years, which I agree with. Parents could choose between state or private schools of many different varieties, lots of choices. No vaccine mandates existed at all until a measles shot mandate a few years ago. I always had good experiences with local government when I needed passports, driver license or some other document. The police was usually rather nice and not scary at all, everyone called them "friend and helper in green" (green uniforms), punishments were usually quite benign, you really had to fuck up badly and be a repeat offender to go to jail at all. I got caught with drugs repeatedly and charges were always dropped because of "no public interest to pursue an individual user". They basically just confiscated my stash and that was it, no entry into my criminal records. German government wasn't perfect but it worked well enough and left its citizens alone besides tax collection.

I am saying this because the funding doesn't seem the issue. People in Denmark and Finland are extremely happy with their governments and those governments are the best funded governments on earth. It is governments going crazy that is the problem.

This mirrors almost exactly my experience in the UK. I didn't even care to vote for 40 years, feeling I could affect my life better by spending the deliberation and voting time on myself, my career, etc. Voter apathy was real and increasing... maybe that was one of the contributing factors in all this?! It'd be terrible if we suffered just because the media and government wanted more attention.

I went all over Mexico March April...

Yucatan

(Cancun etc.) Mask Nazis, shouted at at reception and restaurant. Poolside athletics all masked. Chin strapping picked up on instantly.

Tulum, more chilled, shops had a word but no shouting, hotel didn't enforce in reception, but did at restaurants, chin strapped was adequate. Temp check at 5star hotel restaurant.

Mexico City outdoor almost 95%+ compliance, they loved masks there.

Chihuahua, pretty laid back. Walmart entry got a temp check.

Chapala (Guadalajara) - not even locals wearing masks in seven eleven. Felt refreshing.

California Baja Sur. Mixed, fairly relaxed.

So the jabs might not go mandatory there, but masks ARE and NO Exceptions. In the UK I never wore a mask anywhere except trip to my transplant outpatients, cos I didn't want to scare the scared and wasn't worth the battle.

I have family in Ajijic and although most restaurants insisted on the ridiculous "mask up while walking to your table" nonsense, the only true covidian fanatics were the leftist gringos that have infested the place.

Mexico has its pros and cons. About 15 years ago I was interested enough in retiring there I read a few books and more importantly, took 5 different trips, each of several weeks, seeing everything including retirement meccas. In the end, I decided against, but that only means "for the present time." Residency is relatively easy to get. Or if you can't be bothered there are alternatives. One expat I interviewed found it easier to hire a local to take his passport down to the Honduran border and get it stamped every six months. 😁 That's another point to consider: you'd have to learn the more, ah, "informal" nature of government down there. Money talks, bribery is common. This might be good training for what a future America may be like, as our government slowly atrophies.

Expand full comment

I spend a substantial amount of time down in the Lake Chapala area, and I find Mexico to be freer than the States in many respects.

Also, you can buy a large hacienda for what a small condo would cost you in Cali.

Down there, the bribery is called mordidas and is, as you say, "informal". As opposed to the U.S., where the bribery is legal and institutionalized.

There, everyone knows the government is a scam and its minions are on the take. Here, not so much.

I find Mexico an excellent option should events necessitate an involuntary relocation.

We thought long and hard about a move, just last year. We thoroughly researched Baja, including the "hidden gem of a town", Mulege (too humid, water getting stagnant) and Todos Santos (getting way too expensive, built up and touristy, filling up with rich American yuppies, Cabo encroaches, and we don't want to be part of the problem) and oh just about every little town. Friends have just up and moved to Mazatlan, they love it there. There are pros and cons. The cheap medical, ditto cost of living, even veterinary care. But then the gang wars are bad right now, everywhere. No different from many American cities, I hear you. I read the Mexico News Daily, the main newspaper for expats, to keep on top of things. Actually we are buried away in a sort of third world country in the wilds of NorCal, and we've planned a move to Texas for a long time. But despite the many, many yucky things about California, we are doing okay where we are, a huge house and garden with cheap rent by the grace of God, my work is rewarding, we have good ties in a tiny and very tight-knit community where, even if most don't share our conservative views and we have few real friends these days, people always pull together and help each other out when things get tough. We're here for the now. Much depends on the midterms, and the 2024 election. Should things get really bad, we will skedaddle, maybe to Mexico after all.

Another news source for expats is the Guadalajara Reporter, which many people in the Chapala / Ajijic area read.

An option I've considered is SE Alaska, specifically Prince of Wales Island. Very remote and you can buy land there with no government rent (a.k.a. property tax), much of it waterfront only accessible via boat.

Friends have a hunting/fishing camp there that is completely off-grid. Solar can be an issue given the cloud cover, but they have a year-round creek that provides not only fresh water but also hydro, so it is habitable year-round. Wind can also be a good option depending on the exposure.

Getting there and getting set up is definitely a chore, but the place is just spectacular, especially if you love crab, halibut, salmon and too many others to list.

It sounds just incredible, and I could easily live on seafood. And the sea is my natural habitat. My man loves Alaska, too - spent his army years in Homer, then did lots of bush piloting all over. He considered living there. Realistically, though, I just don't think I could stand the weather, I'm still too much of a tropical flower - maybe a couple months of the year if the black flies and hummingbird-sized mosquitoes cooperated. I wish I could divide my life into time there, back home in Hawai'i and maybe somewhere in the southern hemisphere (Costa Rica? El Salvadore?). A plane would be nice, but a pilot friend says the cost of jet fuel has him on the verge of retiring. Keep us posted if you strike out for the North.

My reports are no one is actually checking vaxxx cards anymore at airports or US Immigration.

Expand full comment

But do you need to show your vaxx card BEFORE you board the plane into the US?

Expand full comment

Possibly by the airline clerk at check-in. That's where a fake card works, even an image on a cell phone, but not the QR code. As long as it's a decent, credible fake card done on actual approved card stock.

I am told by NUMEROUS non-vaxxxed people first hand that nobody follows up on any vaxxx card presented to them at the airport, especially from a non-first world location, and US Immigration does not check vaxxx status, especially during a rush push..

So if you can get to a non-first world country, like Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica or some other country, a fake card will work at the airport going to the US.

That said, you will have to have a travel visa to get into the US.

Yes, and in terms of the plan, it may include vaccine surveillance via Bluetooth radiation. The data is preliminary, but doctors in Mexico have found that those inoculated with most types of covid vaccines emit Bluetooth frequencies likely from graphene oxide in their bodies that can be picked up as a MAC address on laptops and cell phones, even after they have died. The unvaccinated control group emitted no Bluetooth signal unless they had a PCR test, in which case they generated a different code. https://www.comusav.com/en/BlueTruth/

Your favorite disguise

With your button down lips and your

Roller blind eyes

With your empty smile

And your hungry heart

Feel the bile rising from your guilty past

With your nerves in tatters

As the conch shell shatters

And the hammers batter

Down the door

You'd better run'

Run like Hell...

I've gotten to the point where I review for myself a drug that's prescribed before I'll take it. Within the past month I was prescribed Paxlovid, even though (in my opinion) I was low risk and thus should not take it. Needless to say, once I found it was EUA and Pfizer, I called the pharmacy and said no thanks. At the risk of being a broken record, you must take your health into your own hands. From the top (regulatory) down to the doctor who pokes, prods and prescribes, they clearly do not make patient health or safety a priority.

You’re not kidding. Yesterday, CVS notified my husband he had a prescription ready, when he got home he didn’t recognize the prescription or the doctor.

You're right about "not knowing". This is why people won't go to the doctor to check up on obvious problems....they fear finding out something is wrong and there's this mentality that if you aren't told it's not real.

After more than a year of this, he had some sort of medical emergency related to the untreated hernia, he ended up with major surgery twice, and nearly died. All because he didn't want to "know".

My double vaxxed 30 year old niece got Rona end of June and infected her un-vaxxed 30 year old husband and un-vaxxed 8 month old son. My un-vaxxed 60 year old brother went to their house and was infected. The un-vaxxed were with mild symptoms for 3 days while my vaxxed niece had more severe symptoms, but nothing terrible, and lost her sense of smell/taste. Neither 60 year old wife of brother nor 28 year old goof-off brother's son ever got the virus. Both are un-vaxxed. This is everyone's first bout with the virus.

i also got it from a doubled vaxxed and boosted friend. it was two days of mild fever, body aches and a fierce headache. i tested only because i was curious and did not report the test to any "officials."

i think they are wrong. i have known both vaxxed and unvaxxed people who have had it really bad. the vaxxed people say "thank god i was vaccinated and boosted; otherwise it would have been worse. the unvaxxed people get a hold of some IVM, they get better overnight and they say "wow, i wish i had taken the IVM sooner! from now on i'll take some at the very first sign of any symptoms even if it's a regular old flu."

i was taking a small preventative dose once a week which i bumped up the minute i felt bad. since i recovered fully after just two somewhat bad days, i've stopped the weekly dose, assuming i have some immunity. i may start it up again in view of this new variant. i also nebulize colloidal silver

My entire unvaxed family is in the midst of our 3rd go around of covid right now. April 21, Jan 22, and now. The first 2 for me, I had barely any symptoms. Extremely mild! This one was a little rough and lasted a week, but still just a unpleasant head cold. This is our experience.

Expand full comment

Our extended family has had what "tested positive as covid" on rapid tests for the last two weeks. I'm not sure what those stupid tests show, to be honest. Everyone is unvaxxed. However, things went like this:

1) Daughter in law got sick, she felt kind of bad for one day, sniffles after that, totally fine within a few days. Worth noting: She got covid a year ago a couple of days after having her baby. (The baby never got anything at all even as a newborn).

2) Her 1 year old got sick 3 days after mom this time: lethargic one day, a bit of sniffles, fine by day 3

3) Daughter in law's mom got sick about a week later, she's still sick after a week of it, and so far she has been the sickest of everyone. She's a fanatical lefty vegan...does that impact things? :)

4) Daughter in law's husband tested positive after about a week, no real symptoms. He tested for the fun of it, "just to see", and was surprised at the positive.

5) My daughter was around them all...she had the original Covid in November 2020 and was fairly sick back then, has caught nothing at all since that time (19+ months). She was surprised to test positive for her case of the sniffles, and was hardly sick at all. Headache and lack of energy for a day. Being a nurse and testing positive, she had to be off work for a week as that idiocy continues.

6) Husband and I were around them early on but didn't catch anything. Or if we did, we had no symptoms. Of course we didn't test!

IT'S A FRIGGING COLD

Another thought related to my above comment. My son got sick with a respiratory thing in late February. My husband got it in early March, and it was mostly upper respiratory and he felt crummy for about a week. Then I got it and similar symptoms. What I remember most was an endlessly runny nose....I'd clear it out and it was immediately full again. I was lacking in energy, mild headache for a few days, almost no appetite. It took a week or more to go away, and I felt kind of "not so great" for at least 2 weeks. We got a couple of rapid tests from our nurse daughter, they were negative.

Then in early May darned if we both didn't get something similar again, although this time it was much milder and went away quickly. We didn't bother testing with this one.

We are all unvaxxed, and haven't been around many people except in stores, so no telling where this came from.

This is when I concluded that various forms of flu and respiratory type colds are circulating as this kind of thing seems to be fairly common where I live. No big woof. People have forgotten what flu and colds are like. Duh

Expand full comment

An yet another thought....My daughter works in a nursing rehab hospital. For the last several months there have been a lot of "covid" cases, almost all with the vaxxed staff and residents. The unvaxxed (daughter is one) have been oddly immune from all this despite being around a lot of MILDLY sick people. No one has died, despite patients being old and/or sick and moving towards their final days anyway. She even had a 400 pound patient who never caught anything at all! So my daughter has been in constant contact with covid infested people and never got sick until last week. And what she got, really wasn't much of anything.

Expand full comment

That's normal. Every six months the common cold mutates and goes around the globe. This is all absolutely normal and not a pandemic. Stop the tests, shots and mandates.

Unvaxxed people should only get covid and transmit it Once. The other two episodes should be just garden variety cold or flu.

I thought you couldn't get it again.

I was wrong. I have it right now. Not garden variety flu. I've had that. This is weird and different; random night sweats, metallic taste in the mouth, headache, loss of taste... not the flu.

My guess is that the farther away the variant from the strain you originally had, the more likely you are to get it.

In other words, as long as they keep giving out boosters, we'll get more variants and we'll all keep getting sick. That's our new reality.

Thank you for your kind words Bart. This has to be a bio-weapon. The symptoms are so random, and so different between individuals. I suspect it might have something to do with blood type. I also suspect that if you had a very severe case the first time, the next time won't be as bad.

If you look online for "detox from the spike protein," there are a variety of things the vaxxed can do to improve their immune health. Not sure if it will help any, but I don't think it would hurt.

I mentioned this above, but my daughter works in nursing. Unvaxxed. Most of her co-workers are vaxxed, as are the nursing home patients she works with. Stuff has gone around for months and she never caught anything from the vaxxed people she is constantly working with. The illness has virtually all been with vaxxed folks, and the few of her co-workers who remained unvaxxed escaped it all. Her daughter in law caught covid a couple of weeks ago and SHE passed it on to my daughter, apparently. At least, the rapid test claimed it was covid, ha ha. Probably just a seasonal cold.

Expand full comment

Part of this inability to get off the booster train is that constantly getting boosted may help the vulnerable not get symptomatic disease for a shot period of time. Keep you immune system jacked up and producing antibodies and it will keep you from getting symptoms when you are exposed. So the CDC keeps pushing boosters for the statistics that appear to make the strategy work. But each booster will produce less immune response, open you up to other disease, increase the risk of an autoimmune response, increase the risk of an adverse event to the shot, increase viral selection for immune escape, and otherwise make people sick. The booster train is running out of track and the CDC knows it, so the giving it a little more runway with the new variant boosters before the train plows into them.

I actually did a risk/benefit on it (too old to sterilize, something's coming for me anyway at this point, bioaccumulation, the virus was slaughtering people here in Detroit etc.) and we got vaccinated, but didn't boost since the Weinstein/Kirsch/Kory expose showed clearly what they were up to. FLCCC and Dr. Been have videos on clearing the spike protein, since there's no way to know what it is doing in any one individual even at over a year. Intermittent fasting is supposed to be excellent. Hunter-gatherers had no choice but to do that so it may be our default best state. Dandelion leaf.

Agree with you here, esp. re: the intermittent fasting. Dandelion leaf is great, anything for liver support, including good ol' blessed thistle.

Ambrotose powder, if you can afford them, or see if you can DIY); whatever acts on cell-to-cell communication (which is what the vaccine has broken). Of particular value are the nutriants and supplements that are recommended for all autoimmune disorders. Dr. Mercola has much to say here.

i've seen testing get real dangerous, lethal even. my best friend started to feel a little bad in march 2020 and wanted a covid test. there were none to be had so she walked to her nearby hospital (columbia pres) for one. she was positive and they had a spare ventilator so they put her on it. two weeks later they took her off and she died. she did have a lung condition but she had oxygen tanks at home. i maintain that if she had stayed put, pushed fluids and used her oxygen when she needed it, she would have recovered.

My husband and I (un-injected, had the original alpha version in late 2020) are getting over omicron. I didn't believe we'd get it again, because we both have natural immunity. He took a home test; it came out negative. Yet we have all the listed symptoms; I have a few bonus symptoms that he does not have.

For those interested: for him, it started with a sore throat that turned into a bad dry cough. That then turned into really bad fatigue with a low fever and chills for three our four days. He got over the major systems in about six days. He still has an occasion congested sounding cough. I originally thought it was bronchitis, but... no.

I got it three days after I was exposed to him; mine started with a bad cough that sounds just like bronchitis. I had no fever or chills, but I have random night sweats, chest pain from coughing and a really weird metallic taste in my mouth (like going through ketosis) that is lingering. I'm now on day 10. I feel better, but I still occasionally try to hock up a lung.

So... when someone says "oh, it's mild," yeah, I don't know if it's always mild. Do you want to cough so bad for over a week that your chest hurts? Get so sick you can't get out of bed?

And yes, we did all the normal "alternative" protocols, and I'm still doing them. NAC has seemed to help the most at this point.

Never bed-ridden, but took it easy and got plenty of sleep. My energy and appetite were noticeably reduced parallel with fever.

I caught my first case of Covid-19 about June 13. My symptoms were mild, basically a mild fever for several days, headache first couple days and a sinus infection. By week 3 I tested negative (I had tested positive roughly at week 0 and week 2). Today (begin week #5) I still have lingering sinus drainage but seems to slowly improve. My primary prescribed Paxlovid over the phone, which I refused. Even ignoring that it's EUA and made by Pfizer, I read up on the intended patients and it is only for high-risk. I have no risk factors, except maybe age (I'm 60). My trust in my doctor has dropped. I don't know if I'm going to actually confront her, but I am looking for alternative practitioner. I think they still exist but rare -- an MD who has his own practice and is not (as) subject to influence by an administrator, or FDA/CDC "recommendations". I'm not saying my doc should write scripts for Ivermectin and HCQ just because I ask. But when my primary prescribes a potentially dangerous, and to be honest, not very effective drug, probably driven more by policy constraints imposed upon him, that gets my attention.

If I may be forgiven for repeating what should be obvious: Be on your guard. The best care for the patient is no longer the priority, whether at the top or even at your local doctor. Money, keeping one's job, and following orders from on high, even if the MD knows or suspects they are not in the patient's best interests, takes precedence.

Expand full comment

I would love to know if your doctor took, or would take Paxlovid herself. It would distinguish whether a) she is not very intelligent and simply follows the herd, or b) she’s in on the fix and the well-being of her patients isn’t a priority. In either case trying to find a competent physician to replace her is challenging.
