Problem is, they are talking about vaccine passports and endless vaccinations in order to be employed, move about freely, and receive medical care.

NY and California are eliminating gas vehicles in a decade.

Autos manufactured after 2025 will have a "kill switch" to stop them dead in their tracks.

Despite absolutely no evidence to support the claim, the government claims that "white supremacism/nationalism" is the biggest threat we face. (Funny how that happens to be the middle class which will be crushed in globalization.)

We just had two very, very sketchy elections. The party that prevailed was all on board with vaccines, after denigrating them when Orange man was in charge.

(So many more...gotta hurry...off to work.)

All of that points to a move towards a nascent Biomedical Security State.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09ZJXPYSG/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 Dr. Kheriaty was head of Medical Ethics at U Cal Irvine Health.

Questions, el gato, if you stalk this thread:

--If money is the driving force, why care if anyone rolls up their sleeve for some mRNA? The check cleared into Pfizer and Moderna's bank accounts, why the rush to vaccinate everyone? Especially with something that, a few months into the rollout, proved to be mildly effective at best.

--Why, not only hide side effects, but viciously attack and deplatform anyone who brought them out into the light of day?

--When have you ever seen the media (controlled by just a few corporations) speak with one voice, and governments (controlled by those same corporations) worldwide move in such lockstep, chucking aside pandemic plans to implement the agenda?

i think you're a bit orthogonal to the issue here.

have there been conspiracies? yes. clearly. we can argue about size, scope, intent, etc, but clearly there are LOTS of folks with some pretty ugly plans and covid made many of them step far more clearly into the light that they likely wanted to.

and a lot of people noticed them. almost no one knew the WEF pre 2019. almost no one realized that gates and china run the WHO and use it to pimp for business interests.

but now they do and consciousness of this is pervading the center.

and the cockroaches want the kitchen light turned off again.

the goal now is to once more disappear.

so how do they do this?

they do it by making their critics look like kooks and nutters and the best way to do that is to gin up 20 histrionic crazy new conspiracies and link them to the real conspiracies and use it to get those who are seeking to expose you to overplay their hands, get sucked into confirmation bias, and make fools of themselves so you can rugpull them and destroy their credibility.

they also do it by linking ideas like "criticizing the WEF" to ideas like "cheerios have little radios in them that big cereal uses to track you!" so that the the middle who is just starting to see these ideas and conspiracies as real will say "oh, this is just crazy people."

my point is not at all that we should let up on chasing down many of the very real sinister plans out there. this is important and we need to stay at it.

it's that we need to be very careful how we do it because it's easy to get jiujitsued into landing in a pratfall or getting lumped in with actual kooks.

and this tends to happen when you get overconfident from winning and more people are willing to spread what you say.

if we would be the side of truth, rationality, and fact, we need to focus there and not get dragged into making foot faults that make us look bad.

if one is not careful, your own team can often harm you more than the opposition.

Thank you for succinctly expressing thought that I haven’t been able to fully conceptualize and organize. What you are saying reminds me of that supposed picture of Schwab on the beach. Many thought it was actually him. It was passed around by people on our team. I think people get so desperate to be right or supported that we jump at something for some credibility. Human nature? Or just a reaction to have been degraded and insulted by society in general?

You offer wise words. We now need to debunk the baloney intended to discredit critical thinkers once again. This is wearing me out.

well, yes, to an extent. But, for instance, reading EVERY ingredient label on foods for ingredients now called out as harmful, vs chucking the cheapest brand into the cart. I shop for my elderly mom who has a host of allergies and it takes forever. Doing a search for a quote to read the entire thing vs the soundbite in order to understand the context. Our brans are wired to take short cuts to conserve energy - how many have driven home and totally forgot they needed to stop at the store on the way home? Or walked into a room and forgotten why you went in there? A state of constant vigilance is not our default setting. If we have to ponder every single decision it becomes easy to become overwhelmed.

Yes, 5GW- or 5th Generation Warfare, for those not familiar with the acronym. Thing about 5GW is that it doesn't require (for the most part) the usual military hardware. Which means we can also, if we want to, engage in dishing it out to the globalist enemy as an offensive move - rather than always being on the receiving end,having to try to find the weaponized stories and ensure we don't over react to them. Don't be afraid to turn the tables on them. We're probably better at meme warfare than most of them are....

Once upon a time, we said things like "the truth matters." Now? I'm not so sure. People are lining up for injections that do nothing but hurt them and our elections are fraudulent.

I remember the supposed Schwab on the beach photo. I think there could have been another purpose to it-- to humiliate Schwab. Not to say "this IS Schwab" but to say "this could be Schwab." And a lot of people believed that it COULD have been him. Which would indeed be humiliating to him.

As for a lot of these other issues that seem to be "conspiracy outliers" are they really bad things if they are Spoken Of? For example.... the Latin meaning of Balenciega. Is that real? Maybe that's an OK discussion to have with a normie. Do you think that real? You don't even have to say something like "yeah, I think the fashion industry is embroiled in Satanism and child pornography." Just ask if they think it's real or not.

Finally... will the powers that be ever "allow" us to be right? Will they publicly accept any of our ideas and embrace them as the truth?

Since we're now on vaxx 4 or 5-- I lost count-- my guess is no. So why are we even concerned about what others think? Even if we are right 1000x a day, we will still be denigrated and treated like nut jobs. Maybe it's time to consider saying the truth out in the open, and not caring what others think. They will either consider it or not. And if we get caught in something bad simply say "I was wrong."

Your “Schwab photo on beach” comment makes me want a whole list of examples where we in the health freedom movement have been wrong. It would teach us not to repost or share, and would perhaps humble us into being more careful with our credibility.

I consider myself a critical thinker. There are radical righties and radical lefties. They are trying to make those who think like a JFK democrat look bonkers. I count myself thankful that I, only recently (past 3 years) learned about Q, an underground war, underground tunnels to traffic pizza children etc. I just know what is right in my heart and pray that people see the truth. You are right...just be still, take it in and think. Lizard people? OMG. If I did not personally know 14 people who have been damaged by mR N A, I would not believe any of this BS.

Well said. One friend would always talk about satanic rituals and children. She said Pizzagate was code. She tried not to bring it up because I would bristle. And then stuff starts to filter in. You get the Epstein case and that awful luxury brand advertisement with children. Candence Owens went though the instagram account of the person in charge of it. Photos not only show children and S&M, it shows a child that looks to be disemboweled which is something my friend claims goes on. So like throwing a spaghetti noodle against the wall to see if it sticks, I think speech should be flung to the wall and see if it sticks. The recent claim by Cal Sen Weiner that he was being hunted by alt right, was quickly undone by sharp eyes on Twitter. We are in the realm of citizen journalists and that is a good thing. Many people have special knowledge whether it be science or history and they can help spot fraud or deception. I trust my fellow citizen well over a paid hack.

Maybe the key thing is to keep our focus on discovering what's true. To not get distracted and make the side we are on more important than knowing the truth. If some get derailed by crazy ideas, we stay on track and if they are open, point them back to searching for what's true.

This is an excellent essay, and a good cautionary exercise for all of us.

I would add one point. To avoid falling into traps, it is essential that we stay focused on figuring out the "positive" reality. It is not enough to disbelieve the liars and oppose them, because then we are vulnerable to a kind of treacherous negative confirmation bias that can make fools of us. What we need is a theory of our own, which we revisit frequently, that we sculpt to match the evidence, and which we refer back to every time someone on any side makes a claim. If the claim contradicts that internal theory that we are operating on, we need to look at it critically, and either modify our theory to account for it, or reject the claim.

This is how to keep our balance to avoid being juijitsued, and it is a fundamental tactical plan for fighting this war.

I appreciate and agree with this thought but after going through what will soon be 3 years, I now appreciate it is only through the rear mirror that we sometimes learns what is kookiness and what is not. I always dismissed the RFK conspiracy theories. Because of Covid propaganda, I finally watched a recent one About the RFK Assassination and Mrs. Paine. I told a friend (who lent me a book discrediting any such theories) that she will never look at the situation the same again. Early on in Covid, Dr. Kelly Victory, a very anti lockdown proponent dismissed claims that the virus had a structure similar to the HIV virus. Now it doesn't seem as crazy. So many of the front line docs had quietly gone about their lives pre-Covid and then when they advocated common sense policies, they were vilified. Dr. Ladapo's exit from California to Florida is a loss to Cali and a step forward for Florida.

How could the NY Post have done it any better in revealing the Biden laptop story? That story was true and rational, and based on facts.

Yes people are desperate for the truth.....I mean half the population can’t even handle the truth. Those that do are saying ok, let’s do this, let’s learn who we are and where we come from so future generations don’t have to.

But what about the real elephant in the room........HOW TO CHOSE AN HONEST AUTHOR! I think Clif High is pretty good, just giving the facts, kind of take this as you like. He puts things more matter-of-factly so it is easier to absorb.

What to do with people that won’t watch Gates Ted talks on climate change, or go look at agenda 21-31. It’s pretty clear to me what they are doing, or want to accomplish. Finding out the way they are doing it is rather upsetting because people we love are dying.

Ok so what do we do? Be critical thinkers? Know things get twisted if they don’t come from the source. So what’s the bottom line here....they do want to depopulate but we don’t know why, they lie constantly, but we don’t know why.

Expand full comment

Agree, there is no one source that is the complete picture. There never has been and never will be. We have to train ourselves to look at everything from multiple viewpoints and angles, and yet still realize that we will not get the whole picture. Even before 2020, I used to say life is like a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle without the picture on the box to go by. We can manage to get some pieces put together, but seeing the whole picture is a lot of work.

While I am guilty of being all over the place in terms of issues I follow, my actions primarily focus on local. It's where the average person CAN have impact. Can't do squat about the WEF or the Biden administration, but can support good school board candidates and the like. And a great way to connect with like minded people - we are stronger together!

Expand full comment

I get so tired of disclaimers. Suffice to say that I comprehend all you said. However, when it comes right down to it, no matter how much we wish it were not so, the majority of people base their decisions on emotion and very little on factual input. This is what drives the propaganda from the other side. No matter how much we dislike it, if we don't sway emotions, then our facts will fail to persuade enough to make a difference. Even if a metric truckload of people die in ways directly related to the clotshots, people will not suddenly come to our side of the argument based on facts and figures. They will come to our side because reality will have scared the shizznit out of them.

All of that to say, the Stew Peters video is having an effect where my facts and figures appeal got nowhere. People that took the shot, even after I presented ample evidence and argument to avoid it, watched "Died Suddenly" and are now questioning things. The misused video clips and unsupported snippets meant nothing to them.

Very fine iron filings are added to pretty much every processed food item that states it is iron-fortified. The iron reacts with stomach acid during digestion and gets absorbed. Insufficient iron can lead to health problems, especially for menstruating women.

The flip side is that too much iron is also problematic, so make sure to store the chewable, candy-like vitamins safely out of the reach of little ones.

I still have vivid memories of my high school chemistry class where we were all asked to bring in dry food items labeled as iron-fortified. We ground them up, added water to make a slurry and stirred clean, plastic-coated magnets in it. Every single one came out covered in fine filings. Ended up as a professional chemist thanks to that teacher =)

I’ve been saying this since about Day 1. This is not about money (money is likely a small side perk). This is about power and ideology. The goal is not to make pfizer, moderna and fauci billions of dollars, that’s just a side effect. The goal is to use pharma to accomplish something the elites find desirable. It appears that that something revolves around either harming/killing millions of people in order to reduce the population to help ostensibly with “climate change”, or furthering the authoritarian cause of enslaving the masses, step by step.

Ok, fine, so let’s cut to the chase, quiet the noise, and simplify things. History is not accidental; it is conspiratorial. It’s just a fact - people conspire to do things to other people to gain advantage. Always has been and always will be the way history is made, on a macro and micro level. And I am just talking about criminal and harmful activity here.

It can all be so overwhelming when you start to peel the onion back. So much is truly a deception. But if I had to pay attention to just one conspiracy, the one that makes me sleep with one eye open to both near and far events, is The Mark of the Beast, of Revelation 13. Everybody should read at least that chapter a dozen times to let it sink in.

And the conspiracy there, in a nutshell, is a worldwide economic control system, that will effect every single person on Earth, with no where to hide and no where to run. You take The Mark or reject it at your will, and accept the consequences for your choice: permanent disqualification (damnation) if you accept; physical death, but potentially resurrection if you reject it.

And we can all see this electronic economic control grid being erected around us day by day. Cell phone towers in even the most remote locations. Cameras, scanners, RFID readers, RFID chips in everything, biometric authentication, etc, etc, etc.

It’s the only conspiracy that matters because it is the end game. Are you ready?

Also, watching a squirrel eat prawn and shrimp-leftovers from the compost is oddly entertaining.

KATTEN zijn VERLICHTE EN ONAFHANKELIJKE WEZENS.

Zij zijn de enige soorten die zo geëvolueerd zijn naar de aarde dat ze niets van mensen te leren hadden en ons daarom niet nodig hadden, maar zijn hier om ons te dienen. ZE KOMEN UIT ORION, de grote SPIRITUELE CONSTELLATIE, daarom is hun TRILLING van de 5e DIMENSIE en is hun ENERGIE zo PUUR. Ze zijn zelfs erg onafhankelijk en hebben de eigenaardigheid om de huizen en de energie van de planeet in een hoge frequentie van verlichting te houden.

Het spinnen van een kat is als de OM MANTRA voor mensen, een GENEZENDE FREQUENTIE die in staat is om:

TRANSFER afmetingen,

DETECTEER ziekten,

HEAL het elektromagnetische veld,

SEAL breekt in de aura en

BIEDEN bescherming in de etherische rijken.

De katachtigen VERSPREID

There are a lot of conspiracy material that you cannot prove wrong, but you cannot prove it right either, so leave that stuff for tongue in cheek uses (even if you believe them). Good examples are ancient astronaut theorizing, extradimensional reptilians, etc. Of course patently absurd stuff like flat earth theory has to be dropped. Plausible but not evident stuff, like lost ancient civilizations, treat them with healthy skepticism and humility. Really inconvenient but self-evident stuff like, erhm, what Kanye has been talking about, strategically avoid.

Intellectual discourse has deteriorated to the point that debate is based less on verifiable evidence and more on the manipulation of the publics biases and sentiments. The pandemic managers have been open about their use of psychological tools (aka propaganda) to sway public opinion, because it is proven to work. Critique of data and evidence appears to have been thrown out the window in favor of "truthiness". As a physician who has been in practice for over 30 years, I have heard my scientifically grounded opinions, right or wrong, dismissed and denigrated again and again when I've advised people that the vaccines aren't safe or effective and the lockdown measures and masking useless. I present these ideas to people non-authoritatively -- just as a matter of representing what the best scientific research data in my opinion suggests. Yet woke people "know" that I'm full of it because "why would the government do that if it were dangerous/ineffective?" Our credibility in data has been eroded so that people believe what they shouldn't and dismiss what they should be evaluating critically. I don't even claim to be correct in my assessments. I can't even get woke people to pay attention, so certain are they that they are right and I am wrong. How do you debate with a Flat Earther?

i think the intensity of this has come from segmentation drive balkanization.

we now have whole media spheres competing for attention by serving conformation bias. they don't report "news" they support narratives. and this has broken us into mutually incomprehensible tribes that have not only their own opinions, but their own facts. each is so wedded to its own precepts and conjured reality that the idea that there could be any other seems absurd. disagree and you are stupid, evil, whatever, but you are not "one of us."

Paraphrasing Feynman, there is no such thing as "facts". All we can do is make observations, which only have meaning within some hypothesis or theory that tries to make sense of those observations.

The problem here is not that there are different sets of facts, but rather that the observations are so limited (deliberately?) that many hypotheses fit them.

The people who are willing to go to bat for dangerous possibilities are also the ones willing to consider lizard people, a lot of the time. How much has Alex Jones been *right* about? Sounds like a lot. It has felt to me for 46 years like thoughtful, reasonable people saying, “I don’t know, these dots connect, and these organizations and agencies are just laundered versions of the ones we KNOW did these things,” just get silenced or maligned.

I was thoughtful, careful, and *right*, in early 2020. The people who thought I was crazy then *still* think I’m crazy, and aren’t interested in the facts. Meanwhile, the folks who think Trump is a secret multiverse mastermind and every contrail is a chemtrail knew it, too. Had everyone listened to them, we’d be a lot better off.

the hard part with loose cannons like jones are that despite often being wildly miscalibrated and wrong, they are sometimes right.

he's been so flagrantly wrong and so stunningly uncareful and uncritical in his takes, that when he gets one right, it's still not trustworthy. and people adopt biases in response.

A lot. The underdog has to be impeccable, but it’s what Raymond Chandler called “The Sherlock Holmes Problem;” it’s a near-impossible combination of traits. The curiosity, intelligence, research capacity, and discernment to dig into all this stuff, the charisma and connections to expose it, the fortitude (and finances) to withstand the assaults; everyone was joking when Musk was an hour late to the data dump last night that Musk didn’t kill himself and had anyone seen Hillary? It’s an open secret. And yet, nothing will ever happen, and “serious” people will always say you’re crazy if you believe it.

I don’t make decisions based on strategy; I make them based on principles. I’m just not a clever enough Machiavellian. So I don’t advocate doing something crazy because it “works.” And I admire people who are principled, even when it’s not cool. Nonetheless, that doesn’t seem to be what wins the day in terms of retaining the freedoms our overlords and their Karen acolytes have abrogated, and continue to abrogate, with glee.

In Canuckistan, online alt right news forums have been popping up. They are growing, and that is encouraging, especially in a nation where the Liberal government hands out taxpayer dollars to msm outlets.

One of the older alt right news forums can get the story right, but on too many occasions hasn’t done its homework, jumps to conclusions, and assumes the worst of a situation. They are, of course, to be admired for being out there and often taking the blows from the government and msm, but the upshot for some (many?) readers/viewers is that with the problem of occasional sensationalism all stories are then regarded with a gimlet eye. In short, some viewers lose trust. Those who have pointed this out receive no reply from the news forum. It is frustrating; one thinks: surely they know this; why do they refuse to put a check on their sensationalism?

Yes we are all skirting around the issue of are they trying to depopulate--- maybe the only thing we can do is show them the way to Gates Ted talk, his interviews, Agenda 21-31 etc. just the basics. Hell ....we don’t need anything else.

It is also quite clear that consciousness of the whole means something. The butterfly effect is everywhere. The magnetic and dielectric equations are obviously how the universe works. ...we saw the way hate speech kills plants in the Japanese experiments about “water”. Sound is much more important than we ever thought. We don’t understand it fully but I do feel hate speech hurts the sender as much as the receiver and is counter productive.

They don’t want us knowing how everything works so I think we need to continue in that direction and ignore the distractions. There is Avery interesting YouTube from Divergent with old pictures of fireplaces with anodes in them and a chimney that had a pipe to the sky with some kind of energy collectors !?!

Honestly, I probably shouldn’t be commenting because I have not fully read it but I just wanted to say that I find it disheartening all of the shit that died suddenly has been getting and hopefully I’m going to just look like an idiot after I finish reading your always wonderful work.

But to any of us (who’ve seen much longer and well-documented pieces on each of the concepts rapidly introduced to create a narrative for the film which km sure is tons..) does it not make a decent broad spectrum primer?

I think that is exactly what they were trying to do because what I keep hearing from my family is “that makes no sense “which is true if you don’t have a scaffolding for the fact that some people are truly obsessed with population numbers... and... influencing them ahem.

Sterility vaccines are a real thing made by the World “Health” organization.

And I agree that perhaps it was too much in too short of a film but without the “introduction to evil 101 abridged” at the beginning, and trying to rapidly show how pervasive it is and how it’s also very often just said in plain sight, the film would kind of make no sense because then the question to be beg would be are they saying they’re doing this on purpose??? that’s crazy!

We’re by the time they get to the numbers it’s not nearly as crazy as it would otherwise be.

Their work is kind of fast and furious. There were a few technical issues, and I believe the basketball player mentioned was in the original trailer and it was never in the movie and has since been removed from the trailer.

Ultimately, if you can only ask for one hour of someone’s time, and they have any kind of research integrity, there are many overarching questions that if investigated will yield bountiful, rabbit holes for people to go into .

Regardless of how the stew peters is and all of the inviting and what not, it’s just not getting through to people and humanity is really overdue a pivotal shift and if it’s a apparently liking documentary, so be it .

Am I wrong in my hope and estimation that anyone who would actually bother to look (because many no matter what you put in front of them will not) and who is still blue pilled to high hell might put on their detective camp three years late?

I mean, :Dertainly hope so. That’s the only dog I have in this race.  It breaks my heart. Just the other day I was trying to gently coax my godmother into considering not getting a fifth shot. And her instantaneous reply was oh well I “can’t because I have to wait four months because I just had Covid” and then Kinda gently build on that and ask right but I mean anymore shots you just got Covid. Surely you’re good no? How many vaccines do you remember as a kid having to get every six months? Did the doctors tell you that this was not a vaccine?

And the fact that the phone was not hung up, and she did genuinely engage after a little bit and even played devils advocate, I almost fell out of my chair . That I was not yelled at as, which is par for course with much of the family was already a good start but hell, even if someone thinks they’re going to be watching a comedy film and ends up slightly red pilled is net good.

Anyone who would discredit an entire body of work based on a few errors is someone who actually believes fact checking websites without checking their financial sponsors etc. Malone pissed off a lot of people off when he wrote that hissy fit subs that complained about essentially uneducated people, speculating, and asking questions he found to be offensive. When a glaring issue that Covid has brought up to many people is a certain class or group of people having total dominion over facts and narrative. The irony of him essentially saying trust the expert after what we’ve all just gone through it’s pretty funny..

Children’s health defence hosted the filmmakers and they got to say there piece and I think they were genuinely upset and they certainly believe and what they are doing even if the clot is a hoax, let’s say. Ultimately they were appealing to emotion and as captivating a manner as they could, and maybe that’s the way to go because facts sure as hell are they wrong armaments for far too many people. Hahaha.

I do truly do adore your work by the way I am sorry for the rumbling rant I guess my jimmies are rustled from seeing all of the criticism and infighting amongst my Covid heroes

That being said, I’m very curious to find out what will ultimately come of the seemingly our dynamics between doctor Ardis , Hirschman , Mike adams and SPN. And to see if Malone will have the humility to just drop his awful lawsuit. It reeks of “ the Alex Jones ‘precedent’ ”.

I tried to get my "locked for hate speech" account unlocked yesterday. Within 1 hour I was denied in a reply that didn't address the core -- or any -- of my argument. Just a generic auto-refusal that could apply to any "fill in the blank" wrong-speech.

So to twitterers who still tweet, be aware that if you call a tyrant who has incarcerated an entire population of millions, forced them to take toxic experimental jabs, brutally policed by what appears to be foreigners, a "nazi bitch", you will be cancelled until you "take it back". 🙄

Mis-association works the other way, too. It can make false theories seem true by linking true facts with them. Let's take the example of evolution. We can all see with our eyes that living things adapt to their environment, as in viruses mutating to take advantage of vaccine-induced immunity, or Arctic animals having white fur, or people whose racial origin is in the tropics having darker skin. By mis-association, these facts are used to make people swallow the truly ridiculous idea that beneficial mutations could have evolved proto-mammals into elephants, voles, humans, etc etc, when the timeframe for that to have occurred is limited (about 200 million years, they say) and the number of possible mutations to mammalian DNA is to all intents and purposes limitless. They also sneak the unproven theory of abiogenesis in there as a "fact."

I suspect creationism isn't awfully popular around here, but my point is that it's worth examining the things you "know" to be true, and asking yourself if they could be reptiles-in-the-White-House level absurdities, dressed up as fact by their mis-association with observable realities.

Read "The Psychology of Totalitarianism" by Mattias Desmet and you will understand why 30% of the population is simply unable to accept truth, because they have so fully bought into the lies that they cannot look at anything that might burst their "bubble". (Unfortunately, I have a son and DIL who fall into this category - the book was both eye-opening and heartbreaking to me!)

But the point is, there IS a large group out there (more than 50% of the population) who KNOW that something is "off" but they are either too busy, too lazy, or too timid to search out the information for themselves. Our job, as the 10-20% who are doing the hard work of actually sifting through all of the information, is to reach them! That is why we have to do the research, weed out the craziest of ideas, and just keep presenting FACTS, no matter how "conspiratorial" they may seem, because there are people who are looking for answers! And little by little, the numbers are shifting, as more and more people seek to be informed!

This is why, when I discuss getting or not getting the vaccine, I stick to what I DO know about, which is I spent nearly four decades as a data technician in preclinical pharmaceutical research, so I know what kind of testing is supposed to be done and how long it is supposed to take these things to get approved. The fact that these "vaccines" were rushed to market, that they are a new technology (mRNA), that the preclinical testing seems to be spotty at best and nonexistent at worse, that was enough for me to say no, I don't want anything to do with this. Because of confidentiality issues I cannot go into details but just let me say that if these so-called vaccines had been developed using normal timelines, MPI Research as one of the top independent preclinical contract research facilities would have been right in there working on them for their clients. LONG before "Operation Warp Speed"! Yet I do not recall ever hearing about or seeing anything related to mRNA and mRNA vaccines before I left in 2017 and I believe I was in a position to know.

Bottom line, I do not know about or care about graphene particles, people dropping dead all of a sudden due to unknown causes, fertility issues, and the like. What I do know is that I know several people who have been vaccinated, and the worst that seems to have happened to them is that they ended up getting Covid after all, some several times. Are these "vaccines" dangerous? I do not know. I do know that they don't seem to be doing the job that they were advertised as doing, which in my book is a waste of time and money, and seeing I have a pretty robust immune system I'd like to keep it that way. As far as anything else goes, my father used to have a saying, "Don't talk loose"; and being a science teacher himself was very big on all of us children being able to distinguish real science from nonsense AND to be able to back up what we said with solid evidence.

We went to dinner in April 2021 and they were already pressuring me on why I was waiting to get vaccinated. I just said that I wanted to wait since it was experimental. My brother said, "don't believe what you hear about microchips being in the vaccine." He then told me, "I took it and I'm fine." Thankfully they all seem to be ok, but the propaganda was already in full force early on. They all assumed I was believing crazy conspiracy theories. I was just being cautious.

I was also being cautious in the beginning. And then something about the push for absolutely everyone to get this shot, including offering lotteries and free donuts and free burgers and who knows what else as incentives , and then also the shaming of people being “selfish” and “uncaring” if they took a wait and see approach, were all red flags for me.

I’ve been following Soros’ global interference now since January 2019. And his OS, and so called ‘demo(n)cracy NGOs STILL surprise me.

Good luck. Once you start following the money you eventually conclude that those in the public sphere are all grifters.
