Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 147

[ecosophia]

We are now in the third year of these open posts. As the phrase "died suddenly" repeats in the mass media like a mantra, statistics for work days lost to illness and all-cause mortality mount up in heavily vaccinated nations, and more and more ugly facts about the official response to Covid spill out into public, we are entering what may well turn out to be the most difficult period of the Covid disaster -- the phase in which denial rises in lockstep with the death rate, and a great many people try not to admit what has been done to them by the people and institutions they trusted. It could get ugly, folks.

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Yes, this is the zoom call of Canada's Chief Medical Maniac, Theresa Tam, and her malevolent minions.

There's also a short clip out there of Theresa and somebody else gleefully talking about what messaging to use regarding the culling of barn cats. No doubt she is making Cruella DeVil jealous!

Here We Go: Michigan Confirms First Human Case of High-Risk Bird Flu, Marking Second U.S. Case This Year

He got pink-eye, which may or may not have anything to do with his being around chickens. This is pretty much like previous bird-flu "outbreaks", which resulted in no deaths, no severe illness, not even flu-like illness in humans, and no human-to-human transmission.

For all we've been hearing about bird-flu for decades now, it is a great big nothing-burger. It's just the media running around like Chicken Little screaming that the sky is falling because an acorn fell on somebody's head. Of course, we've seen that they can fabricate a pandemic out of nothing but fake tests and media hype. Don't fall for it again.

Here is another story from "Ye Olde Times"... ;)

as related by Annie Riley Hale, in "The Medical Voodoo", 1935, pp 54-55 (book), pp.61-62 (pdf).
This book is available on archive.org, but as I have downloaded it, I no longer have the link to hand.

QUOTE:
For several years Mr. [Charles] Higgins [American author of "The Horrors of Vaccination Exposed", 1919] carried a paid advertisement in one of the big New York dailies calling on the N. Y. State and City Health Departments to open their books, and he would undertake to prove from their own records—juggled as many of their reports were—that "there had been more deaths from vaccination than from smallpox in New York every year for the past 15 years." His challenge was never accepted.

A striking confirmation of Mr. Higgins' contention on this point was furnished by a survey made of vaccination casualties in the public schools of the rural districts and smaller cities of New York in 1914. This survey was undertaken by Mr. Jas. A. Loyster, editor of a newspaper at Cazenovia, N. Y., who purposely left out of his field of investigation the larger cities, such as Greater New York, Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse, etc., because of the difficulty of obtaining reliable data from these metropolitan centers. Mr. Loyster's interest in the matter grew out of the death of his only son, a sturdy, healthy lad of 11, which occurred as a sequence of vaccination in 23 days from the time of the operation.

Despite this tragic happening, the father says—in the preamble to his report—that he purposely refrained from reading any anti-vaccination literature before beginning his survey of the schools, in order that he might keep a free open mind for facts—and facts only. He had consented to the boy's vaccination, having been vaccinated himself in childhood and survived, and not even the boy's fate had wholly convinced him of the folly of vaccination. But he found as the result of his "painstaking inquiry"—and incorporated in his published Report—that there had been 27 deaths from vaccination, and twice as many cases of serious illness—followed in some instances by permanent disability—in this partial list of N. Y. school children in 1914, while in the whole State of New York for that year there had been but three deaths from smallpox! Not that the death certificates for these 27 victims of vaccination in the Loyster report named vaccination as the immediate cause of death. The guardians of the calf-pus ritual are much too wary for that. The assignable causes of death in these instances were variously distributed among the following diagnoses: infantile paralysis, spinal-meningitis, tetanus and diphtheria—although some of them read "following vaccination."
UNQUOTE

There are many elements to this story - a refusal of authorities to release data, the parent of a child injured by vaccine carefully studying the matter and becoming more knowledgeable about vaccination than the authorities, evidence that vaccination caused many other sicknesses to appear in the vaccinated, among others - are achingly familiar, but it looks like none of them are new.

[thinking_turtle]

Wow, "there had been more deaths from vaccination than from smallpox in New York every year for the past 15 years." The irrationality continues to amaze. Thanks for sharing!

On the other hand, there were legal wins against mandates, such as the 1926 City Council of Chicago Ordinance:


The Board of Health shall pass no rule or regulation which will compel any person to submit to vaccination, or injection of any virus, or medication, against his will or without his consent; or in case of a minor or other person under disability the consent of his parent, guardian or conservator. And nothing in this ordinance contained, or in any other ordinance heretofore passed in force in this city—shall be construed to authorize or empower any person or officer to so vaccinate, inject, or medicate, without such consent; or to authorize or empower the said board of health to adopt any rule or regulation requiring or authorizing any such vaccination, injection, or medication.

NCI Round 2 Set to Begin!

[(Anonymous)]

A couple of months ago, the National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) announced that this year it would be conducting several 3-day hearings involving various expert witnesses as well as non-expert witnesses regarding the web of issues and egregious wrongs perpetrated under the theme of cooties and foxes (i.e., ‘medicine time’). I’m delighted to announce that the first hearing will be held from Thursday to Saturday this week (May 30 – June 1) in Regina, Saskatchewan. The formal announcement, with details, is here: https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/hearings-2024. The event will be broadcast live on the NCI’s website as well as popular social media platforms (youtube, rumble, facebook, etc.).

The list of witnesses has also been made public (on the link above). And what a list it is! Dr. Pierre Korie, Dr. Tess Lawrie, Dr. Jessica Rose, and Dr. Roger Hodkinson – just to name a few! And among the non-medical folks I am happy to see that several names that I had put forward will be providing testimony, including Kayla Pollock (who has been made a quadriplegic due to the fox and was offered by the State to be executed – quaintly called ‘MAID’ in Canada) and Donald Best (former inspector of the Toronto Police who had busted a clique of corrupt cops, lawyers and judges in Toronto and who is now laser-focused on the ongoing hearing of Ottawa Police Detective Helen Gruz who is being thrown under the bus for doing her job of investigating the unexpected deaths of infants during the ‘medicine time’).

As usual, the ruling politicians and the Ministry of Truth (i.e., the State-bought-off mainstream media) will ignore the NCI hearings, but it is on the record that they have been fully informed, and they will be judged accordingly in the future.

The slaying of the dragon continues!

Dr. McCulloch on Bird Flu (and the usual)

[(Anonymous)]

I just chanced upon a recent interview of Dr. Peter McCulloch by Canadian independent journalist Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson in which he talks about the current knowledge about H5N1, including specifics about it being a gain of function frankenvirus that is using mallard ducks as the primary delivery mechanism. Further, that so far there have been no reported cases of human-to-human spread but loads of 'foxes' have already been purchased by governments in eager anticipation of another deep dive into tyranny. There's lots more discussed over the course of a half-hour including latest revelations regarding the 'cooties and fox show', etc.

It's notable that most govts - sorry, trusted medical professionals - have generally eased back on invitations to get injected this Spring, whereas in Fall 2023 they were signalling concerns about 'worrying variant Eris' and still trying to jab a broad base - everyone in the US, and about 1/3 of the population in the UK.

Why? Partly because they had far fewer takers than they hoped, but I submit mostly because production facilities have already switched to Bird/Cow/Cat Vaxx. The vials must be filling up as we type.

They have boasted, repeatedly, that they will be able to get injections in everyone 'in 100 days' once the next frightening pandemic has been announced, and that is the only way it can be done - way in advance.

So, we know what's coming. Get prepared. The only question, now, is just when precisely they will pull the switch on normality once more. During the summer vacations or just after. They will want us to suffer this winter, making us desperate to get injected and 'free' again in time for Spring/Summer 2025.

And, in preparing, maybe tell the vet clinic that kitty got run over and therefore won't be needing the new injection.....

COVID-19 Vaccine Litigation Against Mayo Clinic Revived By Federal Court

[(Anonymous)]

I just read the article posted above from Hawaiian Druid. I appreciate that article. Well-written, humorous and spot on.

I have always avoided large groups. The volume of energy in a crowd makes me feel like hiding. The craziness out there currently seems to go to 11. Masks inside. Driving like maniacs. So.Many. Flags.

In my corner of the world (north of Atlanta) people seem oblivious to collapsing systems. Vacations are taken regularly. New cars and properties and shiny things are all the rage. I retreat to my garden and take solace in the magic of a seed growing into a plant growing and producing fruit and vegetables.

During a recent social situation someone started on one of the issues du jour. My skin got prickly and I focused on talking about the potatoes I was cooking. Can't say too much about smashed red potatoes roasted in the oven now can you?

I have encountered many people with new medical problems like turbo cancer, exploding intestines, mystery illnesses that required time in the ER that were all blamed on bug bites (three of these).

Today, for no reason, I started to panic. Sometimes it hits me hard and general panic and agitation set in. I cannot pinpoint the reason. This is a new experience since the Covid shenanigans started. I feel like I am being hunted and my hiding places are diminishing by the minute.

Daily prayer and meditation help. Asking for protection and setting the intention to be love and light are also helpful. Sometimes my light is not as shiny as I would like it to be.

Thank ya'll for being here.

Sudden death

[boccaccio]

I happened upon this article in a regional newspaper about gymnastic athlete Mia Sophie Lietke who died suddenly last November at the age of 16 https://www.schwaebische.de/regional/ulm-alb-donau/ulm/tote-16-jaehrige-turn-talent-mia-sophie-lietke-starb-an-herzversagen-2524811

What makes the article special is that a forensic autopsy was performed and that it goes into the possible role of the vax.

According to the forensics, the cause of death was a bilateral pulmonary artery embolism, which led to acute right heart failure due to the heart having to pump against increased resistance. The article doesn't say if the bloodclot was a usual one or the white variety.

Another interesting thing is that the the article states that the vax can lead to bloodclotting. Quote:
"Was Mia Sophie Lietke vaccinated against Corona? - The Corona vaccination can also result in a pulmonary embolism. Helios, one of the largest healthcare companies and clinic operators in Germany, says on the subject of side effects of the Corona vaccination: "The most common complications so far include breathing difficulties and disorders, cardiac arrhythmias (arrhythmia), myocarditis or pulmonary embolism.""

Of course there is the usual diversion of talk that Covid can also be the cause and that the side effects are rare etc etc, but the admission of side effects is quite rare (at least in my country).

Furman University had a horrible Covid 19 vaccination policy and this young man was just the right age to be tangled up in the mandates. I don't know his vaccination status, but I do know it is a terrible loss. The entire campus was devastated by his passing. The visitation with his parents was scheduled for an hour and it lasted for five hours. The entire school showed up to pay their respects to his parents and share stories.

Fortunately, this school also has a good exemption policy. I struggle with the ethics of my son being at this school, but he is well versed at avoiding western medical interventions.

I was a bit shocked to hear today, while doing Library inventory, that one of the volunteers at the Seattle Theosophical Library died suddenly after a relatively long flight, from a blood clot in the legs, while in the bathroom.

To my understanding, this is well described in the literature. I am not aware if this is on the rise, probably yes, but it seems to be also one of the easiest to prevent by avoiding sitting for very prolonged periods of time by walking, stretching every once in a while or the likes.

...so check it out. all this that i'm going through was a long-time plan instigated by my landlord, Lincoln Shaw, and Citywide Property. I took all day yesterday to get used to the idea because it's blowing my MIND.

i'm up late going through old emails and looking at the timeline and Lincoln was a businessman who i think manufactured things, and this is CLASSIC divide-and-crush tactics used to keep slaves fighting each other... and we all fell for it.

we'd been getting along even if we didn't all necessary "like" each other. we were even beginning to organize over how we were being neglected... and then we had scary workmen who drank, were lecherous, dangerous, and leaving nails and tossing windows below in the backyard even though there were puppies.

we got cameras installed and then...

apparently Lincoln Shaw had some takers when he asked if anyone wanted favor for turning in another tenant.

i see the turn happen via email, even with simone bailey, because few talk in person anymore. it's all here like a diabolical Griffin and Sabine story told in their letters, and it's tragic because we fell for it and killed our own community. we didn't all necessary LIKE each other but we were working together.

and some wanted to sublet and there it went. now i see why some were allowed and the Indian cat was evicted for doing the same. i never understood that. but they knew he wouldn't play along.

so it wasn't just simone bailey... she bit and fell for it in her hatred of me (i found the hatred email, too. it read like the evil villain confessing before throwing you to the sharks..but i will crawl out alive!).

we were all PLAYED.

and the neighbor Rudy i stopped being chatty friends with because he wouldn't have my back won't have my back now because he knew about Sandra upstairs taking the bait. in fact, she herself would TELL ME the plan but i couldn't comprehend such a way of being so i thought she was just yelling and crazy.

i have circumstantial evidence and i hope it's enough because Rudy won't step up. doesn't wanna get involved. i said to him "that's why i broke off our friendship! what's the point of being friends with someone who won't have your back in a pinch? there's nothing i wanna hear about."

well, now i need him and he's pissed and won't sign a declaration that could save me with his outside perspective.

and my sister who used to bite her own arm and blame me until my mom realized i had a gap in my teeth that didn't transfer to my sister's arm, my sister is telling me how everyone is gaming the restraining order system. even russian women and she said Mel Brooks likely didn't beat his wife because russian hookers can't get in so they claim they're victims of domestic abuse and forego the background checks because they're protected.

everyone's working the system. man....

i feel like a child and i never grow up.

so this is the update. my landlord had a bounty on my head and it was perfectly done because the restraining order makes me GUILTY no matter what. that's what my sister said. and she said the courts aren't hip to these (DEVOURING MOTHER) tactics and games.

it's a creepy way to be and think so you don't really wanna inhabit it unless you're a total and utter shmuck.

so that's the supreme web that i am in. and it's perfect because no lawyer wants to touch me because it's waaay too complicated and they cannot win and they're helping simone at the same time.

HOWEVER... simone didn't expect to get a counter restraining order and it's freaking her out because she's apparently not used to the raspberry jam principle. i wanted to call a truce but in her reply she's shamelessly admitting she films me while hiding behind trees, so i'm gonna ask for MORE protective time.

because i'm gonna be writing about all this. it's most definitely my own John Wick story.

that said, i feel better that i didn't offer up James to their evil so casually; this was a PLAN. no wonder i felt wrapped up like a present.

whoever offered me up with a police arrest won first!

i found 2 pieces of circumstantial evidence in case Rudy won't budge on signing a declaration that he knows Sandra was offered to turn me in as i also was. that's how Rudy told me. he said, "man, your landlord's playing BOTH of you." and i knew Sandra was hit up too.

but i didn't realize she went for it. i forgot.

but looking back i even titled the first change email, "no more peace in our little valley." i wrote it as if reporting my treatment to my landlord but it turned out to be a progress report!

silly me.

so there it is.

i've got a TON of work putting this all in some sort of order. it's nasty depressing but also empowering because when i didn't understand what was happening i couldn't defend myself to my own satisfaction. i always felt like i was hitting a mirage.

now i know WHY.

so there it is.

Another one from the pen of Annie Riley Hale, "The Medical Voodoo", 1935, p 93 (book), p 100 (pdf). This one speaks to the issue of US military being ground zero for vaccination experimentation. Note that in 1935, when this was published, there had only been one "World War"...

(The book can be found on archive.org, but this is from my downloaded copy)

QUOTE
Take for example, the case of the anti-typhoid vaccination in the World War, which was tried out so thoroughly on the troops of all the countries with what dire results will never be generally known because of the systematic distortion and concealment of the real facts by those with a professional and pecuniary interest in making out a case for the vaccine practice. For of all the misleading and mendacious propaganda put out by ignorant or venal health authorities to serve the vaccinator's need, none appears to have gained such wide acceptance and so little contradiction as this war typhoid fiction. Even some who have learned to discount the claims for smallpox and diphtheria immunization, will still insist: "But you have to hand it to them on typhoid vaccination. That did wipe out typhoid in the World War, as compared with the frightful epidemic in the Spanish American War."

Yet the official figures furnished by the Army Reports — which any layman may verify simply by turning to the records — prove the absolute falsity of any such claim. It is true, as every one knows, that there was much typhoid among the troops, both in the Volunteer and Regular forces, of the Spanish-American imbroglio. Most people know also that the pestilence was caused by the scandalous, unsanitary conditions: Cuban mud knee-deep, insects, intolerable heat and "embalmed beef" in the home camps. What the general public doesn't know, and what the Army typhoid statistics for 1898-1900 clearly establish, is that there was a marked decline both in the incidence and mortality of the disease, beginning in 1899 with the adoption of a rigorous regimen of sanitation and hygiene; that this decline steadily continued until in 1908 the typhoid incidence dropped to less than 3 cases per 1000 men, and the death-rate to .31 of a man per 1000. And not a single man was inoculated with the typhoid serum prior to 1909, and it was not made compulsory before 1911. Thus it is seen that typhoid in the American Army had dwindled to the vanishing point before the vaccinators got in on the job, and they had to hurry in order to claim the credit for something with which they had nothing whatever to do.

Likewise the claim that "there was no typhoid among American troops in the World War," is discredited, both by the shifting, unreliable character of medical diagnoses and by the official returns of the U. S. Public Health Reports for 1918-19. In one of these, Walter D.
