Vaccine propagandists and the big lie

Posted on by

After I read this article – Don’t Combat Covid Hysteria with Vaccine Hysteria – what occurred to me was this. That it is as if I was told that to protect myself from Covid I had to take a parachute jump from an aeroplane at 2000 feet. Once I had landed safely, then everything after that would be fine. The question then would be whether I would survive the parachute jump, which was very likely, but not certain, or whether this leap of faith would actually protect me from the virus long-term, which increasingly seems unlikely.

This is the core argument in the article.

No More Myths:

  1. No, the vaccines don’t “change your RNA.”  This presentation offers a solid explanation of how the mRNA vaccine works.
  2. No, the spike protein doesn’t make you ill. See above.
  3. No, the vaccines are not some sinister plot by Bill Gates to reduce population.
  4. No, Big Pharma is not in league with the government to put poison in your body. The only way to encourage private enterprise to develop vaccines was to remove liability.
  5. No, the CCCP did not intentionally release the virus. It would make for a really lousy bioweapon that only kills old and/or sick people. China depends on the global economy, especially that of the U.S., for its own economic health (for now). Had this been intentional, multiple people would have been deliberately infected and flown around the world to spread it. That didn’t happen.

Here are my thoughts:

  1. The vaccines must do something to the way your body operates or they are doing nothing at all. What are the physiological changes that will occur and what are the long-term effects?
  2. Lots of people have been made ill who have taken the vaccine. What has caused these illnesses, and what can we expect in the future that we are unable to know of so far?
  3. I doubt any of this has been initiated by Bill Gates but there are many others who see some kind of political advantage that will accrue to them based on the covid panic. Everything about the way this has unfolded – eg “two weeks to flatten the curve”* – has appeared to be political and very little seems to have been purely medical
  4. Removing liability will hardly make me believe that the pharmaceutical companies are completely confident that there are no dangers. The pharmaceutical companies do understand that as much as they may wish to limit physical harm to those who take the vaccines, nothing can be certain without the normal period of testing that typically takes place prior to the release of such vaccines. In any case, they are in it for the money – which is perfectly all right with me as a motivation – but hardly makes me trust the vaccines any more than if they had produced them out of the kindness of their hearts.
  5. The notion that the CCCP are innocent and blameless is absurd and even to say so is disgusting. The Chinese were developing this bio-weapon. possibly even in cahoots with the US and Dr Fauci. There can have been no purpose in developing a bio-weapon other than to undermine one’s political enemies. Even if everything related the release of covid was accidental, and happened most by chance, to absolve the CCCP of a large share of the responsibility is morally and politically repulsive.

Taking such a personally-risky step as taking any of these vaccines should be left to each individual to decide for themselves. There are also risks in not taking the vaccine which, if the vaccines actually do what they say they do, mostly fall on those who do not wish to do so. And there are still Ivermectin and HCQ for anyone who wishes to protect themselves without taking these potentially risky injections.

* As an added footnote to all this, I put this into google, “two weeks to”, and guess what did not come up. And then there was this comment from here which begins with a quote:

“No coronavirus vaccine has been developed until now, and one suspects if it wasn’t for the Covid panic, these current Covid “vaccines” would be called failed vaccines and have never left the laboratory because they clearly don’t protect against catching Covid”

Unfortunately, it’s worse than that – the reason for failure of all previous coronavirus vax projects is ‘Antibody Dependent Enhancement’ (ADE) – which means the vaccines DO succeed in generating antibodies in the host, but that subsequent exposure to the wild virus results in WORSE infection because the antibodies potentiate the disease. We are already seeing INCREASED hospitalisation in vax vs unvaxxed people (the Israeli data I saw says vaccination increases the risk of Delta hospitalising you by 5x!!) , which is EXACTLY what you would expect with ADE.

Something deeply deeply sinister is currently going on, worldwide, in this co-ordinated campaign to force everybody to get the vaccine.

Covid19 – the final nail in coffin of medical research by Dr Malcolm Kendrick is an astonishing read. You would think that medical research and pharmaceutical manufacturing would have at least some integrity, but not so if you read the article, which has 771 comments so there are a lot of people who take him seriously. What’s his point?

Do I really believe that we are heading for some form of totalitarian state, where dissent against the medical ‘experts’ will be punishable by imprisonment? Well, yes, I do. We are already in a situation where doctors who fail to follow the dreaded ‘guidelines’ can be sued, or dragged in front the General Medical Council, and struck of. Thus losing their job and income…

The title is a reprint of Dr Kendrick’s own last line. I would say everything is happening “right before our eyes” except that nothing at all is visible to those who are not involved.

Craig Kelly discusses the case for Ivermectin

https://youtu.be/1WLYBmq9-tU

Of all things, I found the video of Craig Kelly discussing Ivermectin in Parliament on Small Dead Animals, which is a Canadian blog site. As much chance of seeing any of this on our local media as seeing Katie Hopkins. This is not only a matter of life and death, but a matter of our personal freedoms which are being robbed from us. I have tried to start the vid at the same point found at SDA at the 9:00 minute mark, but all twelve minutes of the presentation deal with Ivermectin. You will have to move the dial to the nine minute point to see what they are showing at SDA which is quite a story.

AND I’LL JUST ADD THIS: This is a discussion of the trials they did on Ivermectin in Argentina.

Based in the southern end of Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina, Eurnekian Public Hospital recently sponsored a clinical trial targeting COVID-19 called the IVERCAR study. The sponsor was joined by other local hospitals acting as trial site organizations. With study results in, the Argentinian group has discovered that while in the control group, 58% of the participants were infected with COVID-19 during the trial, but the intervention arm (carrageenan plus ivermectin) revealed that the compound’s virucidal effects can actually protect patients against SARS-CoV-2 and serve as a sort of prophylaxis. These study results follow up on other positive results out of another randomized controlled study out of Egypt published by TrialSite last week.

Watch him age right before your eyes

From the notes to the vid.

7777 Days [= 21 years]

The images for this video were prepared and transformed by Michael Notter (https://twitter.com/miyka_el). In a first step, Michael used the machine learning library dlib (http://dlib.net/) and some custom Python code to detected in each of Noah’s photos 5 face landmarks (i.e. both eyes, the nose and the two corners of the mouth). These landmarks were then used to align the faces in all photos, so that the eyes and corner of the mouth were horizontally oriented and always an equal distance apart.

After that, some small image intensity correction were applied to make very dark images a bit brighter and very bright ones a bit darker. This was followed by an upscaling of all images (where needed) to a 4K resolution. In a second step, once the faces were upscaled and aligned, Michael looped through all of the images and averaged them with a sliding window approach: Each frame in the video shows the average face of the last 60 faces. Or in other words, each frame shows the ‘average Noah’ over the last 2 months. With a video frame rate at 60Hz, this means Noah ages in this video 2 month every second, or 10 years every minute.

No longer a free country

He’s a Scotsman along the lines of Adam Smith.

Neil Oliver: “So here we are again, on the threshold of another day called Freedom…I don’t know about you, but I’m more inclined to call it Groundhog Day.”

Plus this: The Panic Pandemic: Fearmongering from journalists, scientists, and politicians did more harm than the virus.

Instead of keeping calm and carrying on, the American elite flouted the norms of governance, journalism, academic freedom—and, worst of all, science. They misled the public about the origins of the virus and the true risk that it posed. Ignoring their own carefully prepared plans for a pandemic, they claimed unprecedented powers to impose untested strategies, with terrible collateral damage. As evidence of their mistakes mounted, they stifled debate by vilifying dissenters, censoring criticism, and suppressing scientific research. If, as seems increasingly plausible, the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 leaked out of a laboratory in Wuhan, it is the costliest blunder ever committed by scientists. Whatever the pandemic’s origin, the response to it is the worst mistake in the history of the public-health profession. We still have no convincing evidence that the lockdowns saved lives, but lots of evidence that they have already cost lives and will prove deadlier in the long run than the virus itself.

And if you think you are hearing everything on all sides of this covid issue, try this on for size:

Stefan Baral, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins with 350 publications to his name, submitted a critique of lockdowns to more than ten journals and finally gave up—the “first time in my career that I could not get a piece placed anywhere,” he said. Martin Kulldorff, an epidemiologist at Harvard, had a similar experience with his article, early in the pandemic, arguing that resources should be focused on protecting the elderly. “Just as in war,” Kulldorff wrote, “we must exploit the characteristics of the enemy in order to defeat it with the minimum number of casualties. Since Covid-19 operates in a highly age specific manner, mandated counter measures must also be age specific. If not, lives will be unnecessarily lost.” It was a tragically accurate prophecy from one of the leading experts on infectious disease, but Kulldorff couldn’t find a scientific journal or media outlet to accept the article, so he ended up posting it on his own LinkedIn page. “There’s always a certain amount of herd thinking in science,” Kulldorff says, “but I’ve never seen it reach this level. Most of the epidemiologists and other scientists I’ve spoken to in private are against lockdowns, but they’re afraid to speak up.”

We are living in a totalitarian state, partly be choice and partly through enforced ignorance.

The most successful scientific model ever

This text accompanies the video.

The Standard Model of particle physics is the most successful scientific theory of all time. It describes how everything in the universe is made of 12 different types of matter particles, interacting with three forces, all bound together by a rather special particle called the Higgs boson. It’s the pinnacle of 400 years of science and gives the correct answer to hundreds of thousands of experiments. In this explainer, Cambridge University physicist David Tong recreates the model, piece by piece, to provide some intuition for how the fundamental building blocks of our universe fit together. At the end of the video, he also points out what’s missing from the model and what work is left to do in order to complete the Theory of Everything.

And then when you have looked at that, you can look at this.

By which time you will find you actually know nothing at all about anything that makes up the universe in which we live, at least nothing that makes any practical difference in what you do.

Seems relevant to our present times. Frequently quoted during the presentation is someone I had never heard of, Joost Meeroo. This is his background.

In 1933 Joost Meerloo began to study the methods by which systematic mental pressure brings people to abject submission, and by which totalitarians imprint their subjective “truth” on their victims’ minds. In “The Rape of the Mind” he goes far beyond the direct military implications of mental torture to describing how our own culture unobtrusively shows symptoms of pressurizing people’s minds. He presents a systematic analysis of the methods of brainwashing and mental torture and coercion, and shows how totalitarian strategy, with its use of mass psychology, leads to systematized “rape of the mind.” He describes the new age of cold war with its mental terror, verbocracy, and semantic fog, the use of fear as a tool of mass submission and the problem of treason and loyalty, so loaded with dangerous confusion. The “Rape of the Mind” is written for the interested layman, not only for experts and scientists. Contents: Part One: The Techniques of Individual Submission. 1. You Too Would Confess. 2. Pavlov’s Students as Circus Tamers. 3. Medication into Submission. 4. Why Do They Yield? The Psychodynamics of False Confession. Part Two: The Techniques of Mass Submission. 5. The Cold War against the Mind. 6. Totalitaria and its Dictatorship. 7. The Intrusion by Totalitarian Thinking. 8. Trial by Trial. 9. Fear as a Tool of Terror. Part Three: Unobtrusive Coercion. 10.

Peter Hitchens on the slow death of freedom

Posted on by

The words that come with the video:

In a hard-hitting interview, Peter Hitchens argues that through Covid we have surrendered our liberty to the state, perhaps irretrievably. As we approach the promised full unlocking of the UK on June 21st, he asks is it too late to reclaim our fundamental freedoms?

We have taken so much for granted for so long that many of us no longer even know what freedom is, and it seems all too few even think it matters. There are some who seem to believe we can give up a bit of our freedom to add a bit to our safety, but the reality is that if we keep going the way we have been going, we will lose both.

As he says: “There is no more impregnable fortress on the planet than a closed mind.”

“They are suppressing the truth about everything”

From the comments thread at Post Covid vaccine deaths from Flying Duck (@ 8:39 pm), about which DOT has added her own comment:

SITE GODS: PROMOTE THIS MAN’S POST TO A BLOG ENTRY!

And so it has been done. This is what Dr Flying Duck wrote as a comment.

They are suppressing the truth about everything. As a doctor, let me list some examples:

– about who is truly vulnerable (only the elderly co-morbid – we are NOT ‘all in this together’)

– about cheap, existing, effective, prevention and treatment strategies (Vitamin D, Ivermectin)

– about the ineffectiveness of masks and lockdowns (find Ted Noels youtube vid blowing vape smoke through masks) – the chicanery of using positive PCRs in well people to define ‘cases’ (and, more lately, the use of higher cycle thresholds in unvax vs vax, which is guaranteed to overestimate true positives in the unvaxed, and underestimate it in the vaxd.)

– about the TRUE places and means of transmission (indoors in still air – think of it like cigarette smoke, you get a big dose inside a poorly ventilated pub, you get bugger all outside in the beer garden) – about the normal tendency for severity of illness to DECLINE with each new strain because the most successful virus is the one that is most infectious but least serious – all they are telling us is how much more infective each one is – at the end of the day, I don’t care if I am instantly ‘infected’ with a variant which doesn’t cause any illness. BTW , I’m calling bullshit on the ‘new Delta is sooo infectious you can catch it just walking past someone in the street’ – this is an flat out lie – you need to inhale a certain ‘quantum’ of viral particles to get infected – that is why you need prolonged close contact in still air – if you could really get it in passing, it would have ripped throughout the country in days.

– about the real infectivity of asymptomatic ‘cases’ (respiratory viruses make people symptomatically sick because they have to to maximise spread–if they didn’t, evolution would eliminate symptomatology because sick people are easy to spot and avoid)

– their prior knowledge of the risks of mRNA vax (worse illness if you contract the live virus after immunisation due to ADE, the risk of ‘nonsterilising immunity’ producing more severe mutant strains), and the increasing evidence of new side effects due to the unexpected toxicity of the vaccine produced spike proteins themselves (myocarditis, vasculitis, accumulation in endometrium and ovary).

– the POOR risk/reward ratio of vaccination (the young get little benefit and maximum risk)

– The poor risk/reward ratio of the economic lockdown measures (the main ‘beneficiaries’, if any, are old people who will soon be dead and not stuck with the bill – the main people getting the bill are the young, who will be paying off their long departed grandparents death bills for decades) etc etc etc

It’s almost like they are are up to something, not just ‘keeping us all safe’.

The video is from a hearing in the US Senate, which is really also a terrifying story. From Sen. Ron Johnson Hearing: Mother with Disabled Daughter Breaks Down Crying While Sharing How COVID Vaccine Shattered Her Daughter’s Life.
