HEALTH: “The Covid-19 mass vaccination program violated all principles of Science and the Hippocratic Oath….”

BOOM! Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche delivers one of his best here “The Covid-19 mass vaccination program violated all principles of Science and the Hippocratic Oath….”

  • Full disclosure he is a friend and someone I greatly admire; he has been sidelined by the Freedom Fighter media, interviewed & sidelined for he knows more, knew more & they know he is correct!

Dr. Paul Alexander

Jul 15, 2023

  • Mass vaccination has to be considered the largest and most dangerous gain-of-function experiment ever conducted in the history of biology; this mass vaccination into the teeth of an ongoing pandemic was a catastrophic failure and the worse is yet to come. We severely disregarded the evolutionary capacity of the virus to adapt and we failed to approach this within the complex virus-population immunity response puzzle that it is, a delicate dance. Each pressuring the other and forcing change with selective pressure our greatest enemy.

I would therefore like to express my concerns regarding the infection-prevention measures and mass vaccination program recommended by the WHO during this pandemic, which I believe lack scientific rationale and should be considered a significant blunder in the history of medicine, public health, and vaccine science.

In one fell swoop, the entire of society has been betrayed by the people most trusted  — doctors.

By Michael Goodwin 
July 8, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Stein’s Law holds that “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” 

*** and ***

Meanwhile, Dems could have an open primary, with Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sens. Amy Klobachur, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, and Pete Buttigieg and other dreamers free to pick up where they left off in 2020. 

Even Sen. Bernie Sanders would probably try again and why not Hillary, too? 

It all sounds far-fetched — until you imagine a Trump-Biden rematch, with Biden hobbled by a terrible first term and both candidates accused of crimes. 

If Democrats stick with Biden under those circumstances, they’ll be inviting the second coming of Trump.

*** end quote ***

Sounds like we need to put a mandatory retirement age along with term limits amount some of the other changes need to cut the Gooferment down in size and intrusiveness.

At the very least repealing the Seventeenth Amendment would put the State Legislatures back in charge of Senators and eliminate “carpet bagging” individuals from buying seats to the big graft bonanza.

A mandatory retirement age tied to the Social Security “full benefit” retirement age might be a nice touch.

Then kill many if not all of the TLAs (i.e., three letter agencies).   If we do need a small Department of Agriculture to help the States coordinate, then they should reside in the State they are coordinating for but I bet the States could figure out how to do it faster, cheaper, and easier.

The plan—and Disney hasn’t confirmed Crater was wiped for this, but why else would it be—works like this: media companies have learned that by removing TV shows and movies from their streaming platforms they can write down the value of their “content assets”, which in turn reduces their overall tax bill.

Last week, The San Francisco Chronicle reported on a number of attacks on moms and nannies in Noe Valley as they picked up children from school.

Women told the publication a person in a ski mask with a bat or their fist attacked them. They also said the people targeted those with smartphones.

One mom, identified as C.W., told The Chronicle a person in a gray ski mask ambushed her as she walked to get her daughter from daycare.

While I’m against the Gooferment “death penalty”, I am all for “self-defense”.  The little L libertarian NAP (i.e., non-aggression principle) demands that everyone defend themselves.  It’s everyone’s God given right.

ECONOMICS: Time for everyone to realize that they were defrauded by Social Security

The World’s Largest Ponzi Scheme
By David D. Schein 

*** begin quote ***

Americans are just beginning to see the tip of the iceberg of their own trillion-dollar Ponzi scheme, Social Security (“SSA”). Signed into law in 1935 by FDR during the heart of the Great Depression, workers were told that Social Security was intended to provide a safety net parallel to retirement systems that existed in Europe. The retirement age was set at 65. Americans were required to pay into the fund through payroll deductions their employers collected. Most Americans were “covered” by the system, and it was later expanded to cover household workers and others who were excluded initially. The system is structured to be a regressive income tax covering most workers’ wages up to $160,200 per year, with no limit on the parallel Medicare withholding.

When FDR was garnering praise for helping the working class, the average life expectancy in the United States was only 60.7 years. So, while most workers would pay into the system, few would live long enough to collect benefits.

In contrast, by 2020, the average American life expectancy had surged to 78.81 years. This is just one of the problems with the SSA’s structure that has brought America to the current financial cliff. Obviously, if most of the alleged beneficiaries would not live long enough to collect, it was a near-perfect scheme for its operator. The “baby boomer” generation, by expanding the system’s benefits and living longer, is tanking the system.

*** end quote ***

A private individual (Made-off) or a corporation (Enron) would be severely sanctioned but the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats can retire on their Gooferment pension with complete immunity.

When will “We, The Sheeple” realize that they have been robbed?

IMHO a LOT of all the illnesses and sudden delays is from the JAB. Unfortunately no one is doing studies or autopsies to confirm cause. Otherwise the sheeple might realize that the government has subjected humanity to a real pandemic equivalent to the Spanish Flu or the Black Death.

Sorry — RIP to my Pixel Fold: Dead after four days

  • The closed display halves almost touch, and that can smash debris into the screen.

Ron Amadeo – 6/26/2023, 1:00 PM

*** begin quote ***

Manufacturers keep wanting to brush off the significant durability issues of flexible OLED displays, thinking that if they just shove the devices onto the market, everything will work out. That hasn’t been the case, though, and any time you see a foldable phone for sale, you don’t have to look far to see reports of dead displays. I’m sure we’ll see several reports of broken Pixel Folds once the unit hits the general public. Corning may save us with an exterior foldable glass cover, but until then, buying any foldable feels like a gamble.

The scary part for Google customers is that a broken Pixel Fold means dealing with the company’s notoriously unhelpful support team. Horror stories are a regular occurrence on the /r/GooglePixel subreddit, where users have called Google Support “hilariously incompetent” and a “nightmare” to deal with, begging the company to improve. It’s one thing to ship normal glass smartphones, but these fragile foldables will put more stress on Google’s support network.

Carbon fiber is prone to delamination, the process whereby a material fractures into layers while put under pressure.

Gold-Bar Vending-Machines Rolled-Out At South-Korean Convenience-Stores
by Tyler Durden  — Friday, Jun 23, 2023 – 04:15 AM

*** begin quote ***

Buying physical precious metals is a time-proven method of securing generational wealth while reckless central bankers debase currencies and ignite the worst inflation storm in a generation. Gold and silver investing has long been seen as a hedge against inflation and a store of value against currencies. Access to physical precious metals is challenging and usually involves a bullion dealer. Sometimes online dealers take weeks to receive the delivery. 

South Korean convenience store GS Retail, with 10,000 locations, has understood the soaring demand for ‘sound money’ and wants to enhance accessibility. The company rolled out gold bar vending machines with offerings in five sizes, weighing 0.13 ounces to 1.3 ounces, according to UPI News Korea. 

“The most popular gold bar is the smallest, the 0.13-ounce one, which is currently priced at around $225,” a GS Retail representative told the media outlet.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Texas’ Challenge to Biden Border Policy
Tyler O’Neil / @Tyler2ONeil / June 23, 2023

*** begin quote ***

The Supreme Court struck down a challenge to President Joe Biden’s border policy Friday, ruling that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to challenge a policy the states claimed was illegal.

The Supreme Court Friday stuck down Texas and Louisiana’s legal challenge to new Biden administration border policies that violate federal statutes and harm citizens in Texas and Louisiana, the states argued. (Read the full ruling below.)

All justices besides Samuel Alito concurred in the opinion that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to challenge the new rules, which the Department of Homeland Security promulgated in 2021.

Texas and Louisiana argued that federal law requires law enforcement to arrest certain noncitizens upon their release from prison or entry of a final order of removal, but the new DHS rule only prioritizes the arrest and removal of noncitizens who are suspected terrorists or dangerous criminals who unlawfully entered the country recently. The states claimed that these rules harmed them by imposing extra costs by requiring them to continue to incarcerate or supply social services—such as health care and education—to noncitizens.

The Swamp Strikes Back
By Dennis Lund

*** begin quote ***

One example of the evidence contained was the deposition on page 28 of one Richard Salazar, who under penalty of perjury stated that he saw multiple boxes of ballots and cash delivered from a private residence in Tempe, to Runbeck Election Services, the company hired by Maricopa County to assist in the counting of absentee ballots.

The corruption revealed in the presentation needs to be taken seriously and indeed it is, according to Thaler, at least by some people in positions of authority to investigate issues well beyond the election fraud and other aspects stated above.

Certainly seems like EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is corrupt in Arizona.  

If the voters don’t care, all is lost.

So sad, “a republic if you can keep it”.

Sigh!
