The CDC itself is now reporting that upwards of 83% of the U.S. population (16 and up) has some form of “protection” (immunity) against COVID either through vaccination or past infection. By any epidemiological standard, that is HERD IMMUNITY, folks.
*Yet, the fight against the government-lead war on Liberty remains full throttle.
The important thing here is this: governments are scaring and threatening Americans into capitulation and submission. Graham Ledger speaks with Dr. Christine Northrup about the dangerous of the so-called vax for COVID and why the vaxxed and unvaxxed must “just say no” all government COVID mandates.

By Jack Phillips, The Epoch Times, September 2, 2021:
The European Union’s counterpart to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said there’s no urgent need to deploy COVID-19 vaccine boosters, coming a week after federal health officials recommended them and set a Sept. 20 deadline.
On Sept. 2, the European CDC stated that booster doses for individuals who are fully vaccinated aren’t needed for the time being.
“Based on current evidence, there is no urgent need for the administration of booster doses of vaccines to fully vaccinated individuals in the general population,” the EU agency stated, adding that its “report also notes that additional doses should already be considered for people with severely weakened immune systems as part of their primary vaccination.”
The agency stated that the priority now is to “vaccinate all those eligible individuals who have not yet completed their recommended vaccination course” and stressed that there’s a difference between booster shots and additional doses provided for individuals with weakened or compromised immune systems.
The European Medicines Agency last month concluded that more data is needed on the duration of the protection conferred by COVID-19 vaccines before it could recommend booster shots for non-immunocompromised people.
Besides the United States, Germany and France have announced that they would provide boosters to immunocompromised individuals and vulnerable people starting in September. They cited the spread of the Delta COVID-19 variant as a reason to push the third doses out.
After top officials with the CDC and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last week announced they would try to start rolling out booster shots by Sept. 20, the World Health Organization issued a sharp rebuke against wealthier nations and accused them of pushing for booster shots rather than providing vaccines to poor countries. U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, however, said that the United States can provide both booster shots for its own residents and distribute the vaccine to poorer nations.
As booster shots are being rolled out, meanwhile, concerns have been raised that the extra doses would shift the definition of what it means to be “fully vaccinated.”
For example, in Israel, which is one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, health officials recently began declaring that individuals who have received three—not two—COVID-19 vaccine doses are “fully vaccinated.” Holders of Israel’s vaccine passports have to get a third dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine within six months of their second shot or they could lose the pass.
“We are updating what it means to be vaccinated,” said Israel’s COVID-19 response coordinator, Salman Zarka, during a recent news conference, reported The Wall Street Journal.
Stocks for AstraZeneca, which administers the majority of vaccines in EU countries, were up by about 1.19 percent as of mid-day trading on Sept. 2.

Michael Kane, one of many founders of the group said, “Our official position is that people should be able to make their own choices regarding masks and vaccines. We have teachers who don’t want to be vaccinated and the UFT is trying to force them.” He announced that he too is leaving the New York City Teachers Union (UFT)
“As many of you know I publicly announced I am leaving my union, the UFT … Leaving the union does not mean I am leaving my NYC DOE job … It just means I will no longer be paying union dues to the UFT while I teach in NYC.
The United States Supreme Court has ruled I cannot be compelled to pay any union dues or fees as a condition of my employment. As of this date, I revoke any dues deduction authorization that I may have signed and no longer authorize the deduction of any union dues or fees from my paycheck.
The President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Randi Weingarten was on the record that she supported forcing teachers to get the COVID vaccine to keep our jobs. Thankfully due to pressure fron TEACHERS FOR CHOICE she reversed those comments. We cannot stop fighting!”

Dancer Heather Berman spoke passionately about what forced vaccines has meant for her and other performers – the entertainment unions and producer mandates:
“Throughout the pandemic, American political and public-health leaders have been following Rahm Emanuel’s classic dictum for power-seeking officials: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Now they’ve adopted a corollary: You never want a crisis to end.
For some leaving the union becomes a necessary CHOICE. (Updates on leaving the union)
“Leaving the union is actually simple and is merely a letter you will write and send to the NYC DOE and the UFT. We will have a template of a letter for you with all info on where to send it. You lose absolutely none of your benefits if you leave the union. You do not lose any medical benefits nor any of your welfare fund benefits (glasses, prescription drugs, etc…) You do lose representation from your union, you cannot attend union meetings and you will likely get a stank eye from your chapter leader in your school building. I know of at least 2 chapter leaders who are ready to leave the UFT.”

The RINOs in Senate and House especially the leadership twice killed this heartbeat bill in the past – maybe they’ve finally woken up that this is an important issue for true constitutional conservatives and pro-life voters.
The Republican-controlled Florida legislature plans to consider a pro-life bill similar to Texas’ heartbeat legislation after “killing” the initiative twice before, according to members of the state legislature.
“There is no question” the Florida legislature will take up the heartbeat bill, Florida Senate President Wilton Simpson (R) told WFLA NBC. “It’s something we’re already working on.”
Florida House Speaker Chris Sprowls (R), however, has not committed to the plan, issuing a statement Thursday that only suggested “killing an innocent human being with a beating heart is wrong.”
“The Florida House will continue the fight,” he simply said.

Politicians became drunk with power and now use an experimental injection as a tool to ruin people’s lives.
A Cook County judge committed one of the most heinous acts I’ve seen during the past 20 months.
He stole a child from their mother.
Because a Chicago mother hasn’t received an experimental COVID-19 jab, he took her parental rights.
Watch below:
This judge has lost his mind and set a horrifying precedent.
What if other wicked judges attempt these same shenanigans?
Unvaccinated parents now have the fear of the state stealing their children if they choose medical freedom.
It’s also insanity that the father and his attorney agree with the judge’s decision.
Follow on Telegram @WeLoveTrumpNoah
I know the father is fighting for custody and parental rights like the mother, but requiring any parent to participate in a medical experiment to see their child is disgusting.
The father and his attorney should be ashamed for not condemning this monster.
In what all parties agree is a very unusual and perhaps unprecedented step, a judge at Chicago’s Daley Center has stripped Rebecca Firlit of custody because she refuses to get a vaccination shot.
“I miss my son more than anything. It’s been very difficult. I haven’t seen him since August 10th,” Firlit told FOX 32 News in an exclusive interview.
That’s the day Firlit appeared in court via Zoom along with her ex-husband for a child support hearing involving their 11-year-old son. The two have been divorced for seven years and share custody and parenting time.
She says out of the blue, Cook County Judge James Shapiro asked her whether she had been vaccinated. Firlit told Shapiro she had not because she has had bad reactions to vaccines in the past.
Shapiro then ordered that Firlit be stripped of all parenting time with her son until she gets vaccinated.
Oiver the past two weeks, Firlit has been able to talk to her son on the phone and through video calls, but has not seen him in person.
“I think that it’s wrong. I think that it’s dividing families. And I think it’s not in my son’s best interest to be away from his mother,” Firlit said.
Firlit is now appealing the court order, saying the judge has no business taking away her parenting rights simply because she’s not vaccinated.
“It had nothing to do with what we were talking about. He was placing his views on me. And taking my son away from me,” Firlit said.
Annette Fernholz, Firlit’s attorney, says the judge has overstepped his authority.
“In this case you have a judge, without any matter before him regarding the parenting time with the child deciding ‘Oh, you’re not vaccinated. You don’t get to see your child until you are vaccinated.’ That kind of exceeds his jurisdiction,” Fernholz said.
“You have to understand the father did not even bring this issue before the court. So it’s the judge on his own and making this decision that you can’t see your child until you’re vaccinated,” Fernholz added.
The attorney representing the father, Jeffrey Leving, says they were also surprised by the judge’s decision, but they support the ruling saying that given the pandemic, the child should be protected from an unvaccinated mother.
Judge James Shapiro is a devil who’s on a power trip.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if other judges attempt similar actions.

New research found that natural immunity offers exponentially more protection than COVID-19 vaccines.
Anewly published medical study found that infection from COVID-19 confers considerably longer-lasting and stronger protection against the Delta variant of the virus than vaccines.
“The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study that some scientists wish came with a ‘Don’t try this at home’ label,” the Scientific Americanreported Thursday. “The newly released data show people who once had a SARS-CoV-2 infection were much less likely than vaccinated people to get Delta, develop symptoms from it, or become hospitalized with serious COVID-19.”
Put another way, vaccinated individuals were 27 times more likely to get a symptomatic COVID infection than those with natural immunity from COVID.
In Israel, vaccinated individuals had 27 times higher risk of symptomatic COVID infection compared to those with natural immunity from prior COVID disease [95%CI:13-57, adjusted for time of vaccine/disease]. No COVID deaths in either group.https://t.co/hopImCD1D0
The findings come as many governments around the world are demanding citizens acquire “vaccine passports” to travel. New York City, France, and the Canadian provinces of Quebec and British Columbia are among those who have recently embraced vaccine passports.
Vaccine passports are morally dubious for many reasons, not the least of which is that freedom of movement is a basic human right. However, vaccine passports become even more senseless in light of the new findings out of Israel and revelations from the CDC, some say.
Harvard Medical School professor Martin Kulldorff said research showing that natural immunity offers exponentially more protection than vaccines means vaccine passports are both unscientific and discriminatory, since they disproportionately affect working class individuals.
“Prior COVID disease (many working class) provides better immunity than vaccines (many professionals), so vaccine mandates are not only scientific nonsense, they are also discriminatory and unethical,” Kulldorff, a biostatistician and epidemiologist, observed on Twitter.
Prior COVID disease (many working class) provides better immunity than vaccines (many professionals), so vaccine mandates are not only scientific nonsense, they are also discriminatory and unethical. https://t.co/d14kTPnCWk
Nor is the study out of Israel a one-off. Media reports show that no fewer than 15 academic studies have found that natural immunity offers immense protection from COVID-19.
“Among the most fraudulent messages of the CDC's campaign of deceit is to force the vaccine on those with prior infection, who have a greater degree of protection against all versions of the virus than those with any of the vaccines.”
Moreover, CDC research shows that vaccinated individuals still get infected with COVID-19 and carry just as much of the virus in their throat and nasal passage as unvaccinated individuals
“High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus,” CDC Rochelle Director Walensky noted following a Cape Cod outbreak that included mostly vaccinated individuals.
These data suggest that vaccinated individuals are still spreading the virus much like unvaccinated individuals.
The Bottom Line
Vaccine passports would be immoral and a massive government overreach even in the absence of these findings. There is simply no historical parallel for governments attempting to restrict the movements of healthy people over a respiratory virus in this manner.
Yet the justification for vaccine passports becomes not just wrong but absurd in light of these new revelations.
People who have had COVID already have significantly more protection from the virus than people who’ve been vaccinated. Meanwhile, people who’ve not had COVID and choose to not get vaccinated may or may not be making an unwise decision. But if they are, they are principally putting only themselves at risk.

Sunday on Twitter, former President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Education Arne Duncan posted a sick, hateful tweet which equated COVID vaccine skeptics and anti-mask-mandate lovers of freedom to the Islamic terrorists who slaughtered more than 100 people in a suicide bombing last Thursday, including 13 U.S. servicemembers.
“Have you noticed how strikingly similar both the mindsets and actions are between the suicide bombers at Kabul’s airport, and the anti-mask and anti-vax people here?” Duncan wrote. “They both blow themselves up, inflict harm on those around them, and are convinced they are fighting for freedom.”
Duncan’s ugly comparison rightly drew outrage on social media. “It takes a radically out of touch and vile person to compare American Parents who don’t want our kids in masks to Muslim Terrorists who blow up our kids,” tweeted former Treasurer of Ohio Josh Mandel.
“Knowing this guy ran Dept of Ed for eight years under Obama explains all the insanity in our public schools happening right now, doesn’t it?” radio host Larry O’Connor chimed in.
Duncan’s vicious message only makes sense when you realize that, as a radical leftist, he perceives freedom-loving American patriots to be his real enemy.
Noting that black students were significantly more likely to be suspended or expelled from school for disciplinary reasons than their white peers, DOE’s Office for Civil Rights announced in 2014 that such “a disparate impact” could indicate “unlawful discrimination … [even] if a policy is neutral on its face” and “is administered in an evenhanded manner.”[2] With Duncan asserting that racial discrimination in discipline was “a real problem today,” the DOE pressured schools to adopt veritable racial quotas for suspensions and expulsions.
Scholar Mary Grabar writes that under Duncan’s watch, the DOE became “a propaganda arm used to influence the next generation to accept the idea of catastrophic man-made climate change.” Toward that end, she explains, students were often required to watch Al Gore’s propagandistic documentary, An Inconvenient Truth; were instructed to make videos “express[ing] why they care about climate change and what they are doing to reduce emissions or to prepare for its impacts”; and were enrolled in a National Wildlife Federation program wherein they could “propose solutions” to global warming.

Foreword by Fred Brownbill. Today’s blog comes from a great and informative website and source of good, honest information. The info was released August 24th. Their link is at the bottom of the blog. After reading and sharing this blog hit the link and read the other information on there.
VAERS data released Friday by the CDC showed a total of 595,622 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 13,068 deaths and 81,050 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 13, 2021.
Data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 13, 2021, a total of 595,622 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 13,068 deaths — an increase of 702 over the previous week.
There were 81,050 reports of serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 10,945 compared with the previous week.
In the U.S., 354.5 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of Aug. 13. This includes: 141 million doses of Moderna’s vaccine, 199 million doses of Pfizer and 14 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID vaccine.
The data come directly from reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.
Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date, usually about a week prior to the release date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
This week’s U.S. data for 12- to 17-year-olds show:
The most recent reported deaths include a 15-year-old boy (VAERS I.D. 1498080) who previously had COVID, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in May 2021 and died four days after receiving his second dose of Pfizer’s vaccine on June 18, when he collapsed on the soccer field and went into ventricular tachycardia; and a 13-year-old girl (VAERS I.D. 1505250) who died after suffering a heart condition after receiving her first dose of Pfizer.

The images from Australia’s lockdown are terrifying, and many people are awakening to the moral horror that is engulfing the Land Down Under.
On Monday New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the government would be extending its lockdown following an outbreak of the Delta variant.
“We don’t yet believe that we have reached the peak of this outbreak, or necessarily the edge of it,” Ardern said at a news conference in the capital Wellington.
Meanwhile, in nearby Australia, residents are entering the ninth week of a lockdown that had initially been scheduled for two weeks. In many of the hardest-hit parts of the city, NBC reports, military personnel roam the streets and authorities issue fines of up to $3,700 to individuals breaking lockdown orders.
The policy has resulted in violent clashes between police and lockdown protesters, but public health officials have defended the policy, which is expected to last at least through September.
“What this is about is buying us time,” said Kerry Chant, the chief health officer in New South Wales state.
Lockdown Deja Vu
The decision by New Zealand and Australia to lockdown—and stay in lockdown as the virus spreads—fits a familiar pattern.
In 2020, numerous governments around the world went into lockdown to attempt to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. In the United States, public health officials created a “15 days to slow the spread” campaign—which quickly devolved, in many places, into indefinite closures of all economic sectors deemed “non-essential.”
The results of lockdowns were catastrophic—millions of job losses, millions of businesses destroyed, surging drug overdoses, increased youth suicide and depression, and a massive decrease in cancer screenings, among them. Globally, as many as 150 million people are expected to slip into extreme poverty, according to the World Bank.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor at Stanford University Medical School, recently called lockdowns the “biggest public health mistake we’ve ever made.”
“The harm to people is catastrophic,” said Bhattacharya.
The harms would be bad enough, but an abundance of evidence also suggests the lockdowns were ineffective at containing the virus. Nearly three dozen academic studies have been published suggesting that lockdowns do little to slow the spread of the virus.
Following the outbreak last year, modelers warned that Sweden would incur “at least 96,000 deaths … by 1 July without mitigation.” To date, fewer than 15,000 Swedes have died with coronavirus, and Sweden saw a lower death spike than most of Europe. Moreover, neighbors such as Norway and Finland, who had policies similar to Sweden, had among the lowest COVID mortality rates in Europe.
“[Lockdowns] have not served to control the epidemic in the places where they have been most vigorously imposed,” Bhattacharya told Newsweekearlier this year.
Critics of Sweden's "lighter touch" policy always return to the fact that Sweden's Covid fatality rate is higher than its Nordic neighbors, Finland and Norway.
What critics fail to realize is Finland and Norway adopted a policies *less* restrictive than Sweden's. in June. pic.twitter.com/7T6FGcEsn7
Unfortunately, the current lockdowns in Australia and New Zealand are proving no more effective at slowing the virus than the lockdowns of 2020—despite the hardline approach of their governments.
The 3-day moving average for cases is nearly 1,000 in Australia—nearly double its peak in 2020. In New Zealand, meanwhile, cases have quickly surged to more than 60 per day—despite the fact that New Zealand went into lockdown after learning of a single case of COVID.
New Zealand's aggressive effort to eradicate COVID—going into lockdown after a single case was found—isn't working.
One reason lockdowns struggle to contain the virus is that research shows that stay-at-home orders may actually be counterproductive.
“Micro evidence contradicts the public-health ideal in which households would be places of solitary confinement and zero transmission,” University of Chicago economist Casey B. Mulligan noted in a National Bureau of Economic Research Paper published in April. “Instead, the evidence suggests that ‘households show the highest transmission rates’ and that ‘households are high-risk settings for the transmission of [COVID-19].’”
Economists at the RAND Corporation and the University Southern California reached a similar conclusion regarding the ineffectiveness of “shelter-in-place” orders months later.
“We fail to find that shelter-in-place policies saved lives,” the authors reported. “We failed to find that countries or U.S. states that implemented SIP policies earlier, and in which SIP policies had longer to operate, had lower excess deaths than countries/U.S. states that were slower to implement SIP policies,” the authors explain.
A Police State By Any Other Name
Sadly, governments are compounding the tragedy of the pandemic with lockdown policies. Citizens are not just forced to deal with just a deadly pandemic; they are also forced to contend with police states that are growing increasingly aggressive and brutal.
In Australia, rescue dogs recently were shot dead to prevent charity workers from picking them up—because it would require travel. The state is also using “health hotels” to involuntarily confine COVID-positve citizens, while multiple quarantine facilities are being constructed, including a facility in Queensland that will house up to 1,000 people.
Australians who have declined to submit themselves to state confinement have found themselves on the run. Police also are allegedly monitoring fitness trackers to make sure individuals are not traveling beyond the boundaries established by the state.
“It’s getting harder and harder to hide if you’re doing the wrong thing,” Channel 9 News Sydney recently reported.

From Melbourne, the police are reviewing people’s fitness trackers on the street to make sure they haven’t been outside or traveled farther than allowed.

Australians who’ve gathered to resist these measures have been violently suppressed by police, who have shown no hesitation to use rubber bullets and pepper spray against them. This week video emerged of a child crying in agony after being hit in the face with pepper spray by police during a freedom rally.
“I can’t see,” the boy cries as rally attendees try to wash the chemicals from his eyes with water.
The images are terrifying, and many people are beginning to awaken to the moral horror that is engulfing the Land Down Under.
“Australians (and perhaps all in the west): are you being asked to choose between the dangers of a police state vs the dangers of Covid?” author Jordan B. Peterson tweeted Thursday. “I would certainly prefer the relatively low risk of the latter to the increasingly unpleasant certainty of the former.”
Australians (and perhaps all in the west): are you being asked to choose between the dangers of a police state vs the dangers of Covid? I would certainly prefer the relatively low risk of the latter to the increasingly unpleasant certainty of the former) opinion, @JohnAndersonAO
Needless to say, these results are not what Australian lawmakers intended when they went into lockdown. They no doubt had hoped to contain or at least slow the spread of the virus; that’s not happening. Their police state, they would contend, was designed to keep people safe, not create tyranny. But that’s exactly what it is doing.
And this potential for tyranny is pregnant in lockdowns everywhere.
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go,” US President Harry S. Truman once observed, “and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”
Terror is what Australia’s government has become. Let’s pray that New Zealand and indeed the rest of the world finally recognize the true face of lockdowns.

PART ONE.
Now that other eyes have taken a close look at the so-called FDA ‘full approval’ for the vax, it is turning out to be like everything else surrounding the ‘Great Hoax.’ This article describes the ‘approval’ documents as a classic bait and switcheroo. It really is a steamy pile of BS and doublespeak. It’s no wonder now that few can any longer believe anything regarding the greatest hoax of all time.
Update: See further legal analysis from an attorney at the bottom of the story.
The Food and Drug Administration’s “full authorization” for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for Covid-19 was announced with a fair amount of hooplah and fanfare. The President of the United States announced the monumental development and touted it as rationale for the vaccine mandates to commence in the private sector, throughout the government, and in the U.S. military.
President Joe Biden was on the spot Monday morning with a quick reaction to the FDA’s “full authorization” of the Covid-19 vaccines. “The FDA has officially approved the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine,” Biden said. “While all three COVID vaccines have met FDA’s strict standards for emergency use, this FDA approval should give added confidence that this vaccine is safe and effective. If you’re not vaccinated yet, now is the time.”
Biden’s announcement followed upon the widespread media coverage that the Pfizer-BioNTech had full approval for the use of the vaccine in the United States.
“The Food and Drug Administration granted Pfizer and BioNTech full U.S. approval of their Covid-19 vaccine – becoming the first in the U.S. to win the coveted designation and giving even more businesses, schools and universities greater confidence to adopt vaccine mandates,” CNBC reported.
“Up until now, the mRNA vaccine was on the U.S. market under an Emergency Use Authorization, which was granted by the FDA in December. Since then, more than 204 million of the Pfizer shots have been administered, according to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” the report added.
The Pentagon on Wednesday finally issued its order that U.S. troops get the vaccine — or else. “To defend this Nation, we need a healthy and ready force,” the Defense Department memo said. “After careful consultation with military experts and military leadership, and with the support of the President, I have determined that mandatory vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is necessary to protect the force and defend the American people.”
But a closer examination of the “full authorization” documents has some Americans feeling deceived. There is the matter that Pfizer-BioNTech still appears to be afforded the legal protections that accompany Emergency Use Authorization, all while it purportedly has “full” FDA approval. How did the pharmaceutical company manage such a commercial ‘coup’?
Upon a more critical look at the documents, it now very much seems to be the case that the company, along with the indispensable aid of a complicit media and the Biden administration, has engaged in a classic bait-and-switch.
Before proceeding, examine the technical language used in the awkwardly phrased release. The new label for the ‘fully authorized’ vaccine is called ‘Comirnarty.’
“On December 11, 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for emergency use of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 for individuals 16 years of age and older pursuant to Section 564 of the Act,” the FDA stated in a lettet to the Global Senior Director of Pfizer Ms. Elaine Harkins. “FDA reissued the letter of authorization on: December 23, 2020, February 25, 2021, May 10, 2021, June 25, 2021, and August 12, 2021.”
“On August 23, 2021, FDA approved the biologics license application (BLA) submitted by BioNTech Manufacturing GmbH for COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 16 years of age and older.”
PhD. biochemistry and molecular biology student Kathleen Lee picked up on the change in language and decided to press further…………
Here is an article entitled, “Could It Be a Population Reduction Plot After All?” It appears others are now starting to ask the unthinkable question that few minds can fathom, yet it seems to be the only one that truly explains what’s really going on behind the curtain. Oh, you can say it’s all for the money, but stop and ask yourself would all this insanity be necessary to peddle stink’n injections unless the injections are part of an unspeakable hidden agenda.
The Arkansas rat knew just where to take his hit piece.
Right out of the chute, the Washington Compost begins by condemning the Arkansas doctor’s use of Ivermectin for jail inmates as dangerous ‘experimental use.’ This is beyond rich. What the hell has been going on for over a year and a half with regard to the Covid vax if it’s not been experimental? Yet, nary a cricket is audible from the Compost over the dangers of the vax, which appear to be numerous, but they will do their level best to create an uproar over Ivermectin use by jail inmates. Especially note how they get all torqued out of shape and ridicule the doctor’s prophylactic dispensing of the drug by insinuating that one has to become ill with Covid before you can take it. You can bet if anyone died or was injured as a result of the doctor’s practice it would be shouted to the rooftops, which again is not true at all with regard to vax injuries and deaths. It all points out how the media are foot soldiers, carrying the water for Big Pharma. Three hundred fifty inmates is not a particularly large population sample in which to test the efficacy of the dewormer, but it’s worth watching how this one unfolds.
In this video we are going to explore the most dangerous of all psychic epidemics, the mass psychosis. A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Two examples of mass psychoses are the American and European witch hunts 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century.
This video will aim to answer questions surrounding mass psychosis: What is it? How does is start? Has it happened before? Are we experiencing one right now? And if so, how can the stages of a mass psychosis be reversed?

There are a growing number of scientific studies showing that the bodies ability to deal with the SARS-COV2 virus is more effective than taking any vaccine.
This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity.
A new pre-print Israeli study has found that people with natural immunity to COVID-19 could be 13 times less likely to contract the respiratory virus than those who were solely vaccinated against the disease.
Conducted by researchers at Maccabi Healthcare and Tel Aviv University, the yet-to-be peer-reviewed study found that when comparing individuals previously infected with the virus and those that received two jabs of the Pfizer-BioNTech shot, those with natural infection saw greater protection against the delta variant and breakthrough infection.
“SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021,” the study read. “The increased risk was significant for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold increased risk for symptomatic disease.”
No one has the right to mandate an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approved vaccine, which all current Covid vaccines are, according to a website offering legal advice for those facing mandated vaccination.
“Your Right to Informed Consent is separate from the Option to Refuse, and is also based on Federal law over EUAs,” the Defending the Republic website notes.
Currently, there are no licensed Covid-19 vaccines in the U.S. All Covid-19 vaccines are currently approved only as Emergency Use Authorized (EUAs). “Approval” does not mean “licensed,” the website notes.
“It is a violation of your privacy rights to be forced to declare whether you have been vaccinated or not,” the website notes. “When a Virtue Hunter seeks this information, remind them of privacy rights of your own medical information, also known as PHI and PII.”
The website notes that the most recent relevant court decision in relation to an injunction application on an EUA vaccine was the 2005 case Doe v. Rumsfeld, where the United States District Court for the District of Columbia required that the EUA anthrax vaccine be only administered in the military on a voluntary basis “pursuant to the terms of a lawful emergency use authorization (“EUA”) pursuant to section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.” This decision found the EUA could not be mandated; recognizing the option to refuse under federal law governing EUAs.
“To be clear,” the website adds, “the EEOC’s guidance updated on May 28, 2021, related to language suggesting that vaccines may be ‘required’ by employers, only states that ‘federal EEO laws do not prevent an employer from requiring all employees physically entering the workplace to be vaccinated…’ This is called a word game or word salad. This is a limited statement which does not include other federal law, specifically 21 USCS § 360bbb-3 under the Food Drug and Safety Act, discussed above, which requires that EUAs are administered with the option to refuse and the right to informed consent, which requires both the benefits and the negatives of an EUA vaccine.”
EEOC guidance, the website continues, also recognizes religious or medical exemptions.
A religious exemption, for example, “can apply to those who oppose abortion based on their faith because the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, (the Jansen vaccine), uses retinal cells from a fetus that was aborted in 1985 and treated in a lab since; the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines test the mRNAs on fetal cell lines from an aborted fetus from 1973.”
Every individual has a right to refuse medical treatment. The ideal is my body, my choice when it comes to getting vaxxed.
We’ve had vaccinations for close to 9 months and the majority of the country is vaccinated, yet we’re about to reach the same levels of infection that we had in February when we hit our highest totals.
They’re already saying that there is going to need to be a booster shot administered. But honestly, where will it end? Is it going to be booster shots ad infinitum? Endless boosters for the rest of our lives that just pump garbage into our bodies?
Well, it’s even worse if you were vaccinated early according to the CDC director Rochelle Walensky.
“We are seeing concerning evidence of waning vaccine effectiveness over time and against the Delta variant,” Walensky said.
The FDA has “approved” the Pfizer SARS-COV2 vaccine. So what does it mean that they’re FDA approved? Honestly, it doesn’t mean a whole lot.
Pfizer is also the producer of Chantix which is now known to cause cancer. Yet the drug is FDA approved.
There have still been no long term studies on the SARS-COV2 vaccines and we have absolutely no idea what may be the result of this experiment.
We do know:
Getting vaxxed has serious side effects.
Getting vaxxed can cause shedding, the transmission of the virus to family, friend and coworkers.
Getting vaxxed does not mean you are immune to Covid.
Getting vaxxed should be a person choice, but it is not.
Getting vaxxed can kill you.
We are years if not a decade away from knowing the full impact of the Covid virus and the negative/positive effects of getting vaxxed.
Getting vaxxed must be a decision made by the patient and their primary care doctor. You and your doctor know best how to deal with this virus. Not the government.
TRANSCRIPT
A couple of hundred years ago, an American Protestant clergyman said, “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still, I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”
That’s an apt thought as faithful Catholics lament the state of the Church. Things are so bad and so overwhelming that a kind of paralysis sets in, which can easily lead to a quiet despair that “nothing can be done.” But that’s not true, not even close. There is much that can be done, but all of this mess and our actions in response to the mess must be viewed realistically.
First, the crisis in the culture, which is little else than communism rising, is a direct result of the unfaithfulness of the Catholic Church, particularly Her leadership — but with plenty of blame to pass around to us laity as well.
The corruption within the hierarchy became the launching pad for the greater societal evils because the Church was established by Our Blessed Lord to be the sole path to Heaven and, being so constituted, is the only force on earth that can actually push back against and defeat evil. So when you look around the world and see it collapsing, know that the Church collapsed first. Her guardians exchanged the good of Heaven for the pleasures of earth.
Second, the crisis in the Church far precedes the fallout from Vatican II. The Second Vatican Council has become a kind of scapegoat in the minds of many Catholics who unthinkingly look at all the confusion following Vatican II and attribute it to Vatican II.
That is a very simplistic and wrong notion. The fallout from the council was able to be generated in the first place because, behind the scenes, the seeds had already been planted for decades by modernists who cleverly hid within the cracks and crevices of the Church like termites gnawing away. All that happened after Vatican II is that they came out into the light.
Third, if you go into this battle to help restore the Faith without realizing what you are up against, you will become despondent. Simply accept the fact that the corruption and cowardice across the board within the hierarchy has transformed it into an international gay-crime syndicate. As Church Militant has been told repeatedly by officials and victims who come into close contact with this syndicate, it’s worse than a mafia. That is your starting point. You cannot go into battle unaware of your enemy.
And within the hierarchy itself, do not talk about “good” bishops. A cowardly bishop who still privately believes the Faith but remains largely silent about the evil within the episcopate does not qualify as a “good” bishop. He qualifies as a “not active promoter” of the evil. Good bishops die for the flock and announce the truth because anything short of the fullness of the truth damns souls, including their own.
So in approaching bishops in your mind, you must first think in terms of wicked, evil men, such as McCarrick, raised to the episcopate through his influence and trained to lie, cheat, deceive, in some cases, rape and, in all cases, cover it up. Then, when finally caught, they deflect and cut secret financial deals with your money.
The other bishops are the cowards, those who, through their own lack of courage, will be the first damned, as St. Paul and St. John tell us. They are the ones who have permitted the wicked bishops to ascend to these great heights by going along with whatever asinine “brother bishop code” or secret handshake they have.
Many of these men, nearly all of them products of deficient seminary training back in the 1960s and 1970s, are malformed in theology. It doesn’t matter if they are polite or soft-spoken or great to have over to your cocktail party, men like this will abandon the faithful at the first sign of trouble — just look at their ongoing, terrified response to the COVID craziness.
To whatever degree they may personally believe the Faith, they don’t believe enough, and that’s the point. To follow Our Blessed Lord, even as a lowly, insignificant layman, means total abandonment of self. Of course, that plays out over time, but the point is that we must be at least heading that way. Point to any bishop in the United States who is doing just that (and by “just that,” we don’t mean giving an occasional sound bite or making a social media posting, but one who is standing up out loud and denouncing the evil within the ranks of his own brother bishops).
Wicked men enabled by cowards run the Church; accept that reality and come to terms with it. And, please, no comments about Pope Francis down below. The pope did not fall out of the sky. It was this same ecclesiastical swamp that he emerged from as well. For years, Church Militant has been saying that the constant pounding on Pope Francis is just low-hanging fruit by a bevy of social media-type Catholics to generate clicks.
But when it comes to the real nitty-gritty of attacking the beast itself, the episcopate from which Jorge Bergoglio emerged, these “YouTube Catholics” are nowhere to be found. They don’t organize on-the-ground efforts to help facilitate awareness. They don’t put in the time and excruciating effort to investigate individual cases of episcopal corruption. That work is too hard and doesn’t gin up anywhere near the number of likes and clicks and payments and emails as other content does. It’s much easier to just strike for the high-visibility, low-hanging fruit of Pope Francis.
All of that is part of why Church Militant began its grassroots movement that we call Resistance. It was very clear to us that all this constant bellyaching about Pope Francis was accomplishing absolutely nothing, at least for the Faith. All it does is accomplish free publicity for the clickbaiters. But we aren’t interested in clicks. We are interested in souls being preserved from this evil swamp in the diocesan and parish levels where the real work of the evil is happening with gay priests, malformed RCIA directors, chanceries full of woke idiots pretending to be Catholic and so forth.
Even as we speak, bishops all over the United States are denying people their freedom of conscience regarding the so-called COVID vaccination, sometimes forcing Church workers to submit or get fired. So much for compassion, tolerance and dialogue, right?
And that’s just one obvious example. The vax hysteria was preceded by a near-total abandonment of the Faith — in liturgy, morals, finances, doctrine — you name it, so that is where whatever effort that can be expended needs to be expended.
Here’s a short list of successes that Church Militant Resistance has recently had:
A predator priest for the Lafayette diocese was denied parole, thanks to the letter-writing campaign held by the Lafayette Resistance
A vaccine drive in the diocese of Orange, California was canceled thanks to pressure applied by the Orange County Resistance
Thousands of people in San Antonio pledged not to give their money to their archdiocese, thanks to efforts by San Antonio Resistance
Hundreds of affidavits were signed calling for a forensic audit of the Michigan election, thanks to support from Detroit Resistance, with sponsorship from the successful “Stand Up Michigan”
It’s true that no one person can do everything. But you must do whatever you can. Spiritual battles very frequently play out in the material world.
This is why the Church Herself encourages both the spiritual works of mercy as well as the temporal works of mercy. If you are able to do more than pray, then you are obligated to do so. Late next month, Church Militant Resistance is sponsoring a “Boot Camp” in Southern California and is inviting you to attend it. Please click here for details, and please consider attending.
The main point is to go into all of this much more in-depth with knowledge and training on what and how to do what needs to be done in your parish or diocese. This kind of grassroots organizing is something the forces of darkness in the culture have been absolute masters at over the decades in ginning up discontent. They have taken serious advantage of the natural disposition of good Catholics and conservatives to do nothing.
Like the cowardly bishops, the laissez-faire Catholic has quietly sat by and enabled the wicked in the culture to overrun it. It’s time to resist. Resist it all and push back hard.

Maybe I don’t frequent the right journals, internet sites, TV shows, or radio stations, because all I’ve seen and read and heard since the 1960s is that the Arabs who call themselves “Palestinians” — you know, those perpetual “victims” who have received literally billions — maybe trillions — in “aid” from America — have become famous for a few things only:
What I’ve never seen or read or heard is that the Arabs who call themselves “Palestinians” have done one single solitary thing to benefit mankind. Their singular obsession has been to annihilate the Big Satan, America, and the Little Satan, Israel.
Let’s Talk Numbers
Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions in the world, with 2.4 billion and 1.9 billion adherents, respectively — literally half the people on our Earth of about 7.8 billion.
In stark contrast, Judaism comprises 15 million people, about eight million in Israel, about six million in the United States, and about one million scattered throughout the world.
To see the most vilified state in the entire world, look here at the infinitesimal red strip, surrounded by 300 million Arabs, once enemies until President Donald J. Trump succeeded for the first time in history in establishing the Abraham Accords, which now find Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, et al. at peace and doing business with Israel.
Israel is home to more than a million and a half Arabs, a number of whom have been elected to the Knesset, Israel’s legislature, and now an Arab Party has been elected to Israeli leadership. Nevertheless, those scary Jews are such a menace that here is how Israel’s surrounding states have practiced ethnic cleansing for decades.
But nothing compares to the long and besieged history of the Jews. And neither time nor education has dented the scourge of Jew-hatred. The human species seems to have a need to hate, and the Jews are always the perfect targets for bullies who prey upon small targets, as well as the green-eyed fanatics who think Jews are smarter and therefore more successful than they are and cannot help caving to their pathological jealousy.
Emotion Is Stronger than Intellect
Most people thought anti-Semitism had been relegated to the trash bin of history after Hitler and millions of his willing executioners from Germany, Poland, Austria, France, Belgium, Switzerland, et al. — with savage premeditation — gassed to death six million Jews in the 1930s and ’40s.
But the sad truth is that the world’s hatred of God’s “Chosen People” simply went underground after the Holocaust, while racist parents continued to imbue their children with “the oldest hatred.” Sure enough, it has burst forth in all its hysterical ugliness in — of all places — the Democrat Congress of 2021.
Yet despite the actual pandemic of anti-Semitism, the Jews of the world have stayed laser-focused on their mission to improve the world, which goes back to the Bible up until this very day.
If the Shoe Fits…
If Jew-haters weren’t such raving hypocrites, if they had a shred of integrity, of character, of true fidelity to their beliefs, they would never avail themselves of the following Jewish innovations:
Israeli inventions and discoveries, including astounding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, optics, medicine, economics, computing, defense, agriculture, et al.
Here is Michael Ordman’s comprehensive weekly update of Israel’s jaw-dropping innovations, breakthroughs, medical miracles.
Here is a list of Israel’s top 45 greatest inventions of all time, including:
Given Imaging (best known for PillCam), the gold standard for intestinal visualization
And let’s not forget IsraAID, a humanitarian aid organization founded in 2001, which has rushed to emergencies — hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, mudslides, building collapses — in more than 50 countries and is in Haiti right now!
And not to omit this very short list of Jewish trailblazers, which pharmacist Meyer M. Treinkman compiled:
Dr. Jonas Salk led the team that created a vaccine for polio.
Dr. Albert Bruce Sabin developed an oral polio vaccine.
Dr. Paul Ehrlich discovered arsphenamine (Salvarsan), which cured syphilis.
Dr. Albert Ludwig Sigesmund Neisser discovered the causative agent (pathogen) of gonorrhea, as well as the bacterium that causes leprosy.
Dr. Ludwig Traube developed Digitalis therapy for heart disease.
Chemist Alfred Einhorn first synthesized Novocaine (Procaine) in 1905.
Dr. Oskar Minkowsky identified the pancreas as the source of the control of blood sugar, which led to the discovery of insulin.
Spiro and Ellege discovered Pyramidon and Antypyrin for the treatment of headaches.
Professor Oscar Leibreich proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate for the treatment of convulsions.
Dr. Bela Schick invented the “Schick Test” for diphtheria, which eventually led to its eradication.
Nobel Prize–winner Robert Baram innovated treatment for ear and brain damage.
Dr. Selman Abraham Waxman invented the wonder drug Streptomycin, against tuberculosis.
Dr. August Wasserman invented the Wasserman Test to test for syphilis.
Dr. Casimir Funk discovered vitamins.
Heads Up, Jew-Haters!
In 1995, Dear Abby reran a column in which the late comedian Sam Levenson said that “anti-Semitism could be hazardous to your health.” Levenson challenged Jew-haters to boycott all the medicines and treatments Jews had discovered.
“Go on, boycott!” Levenson advised. “Humanitarian consistency requires my people offer all these gifts to all people of the world. Fanatic consistency requires that all bigots accept syphilis, diabetes, convulsions, malnutrition, as a matter of principle.
“You want to be mad?” he continued. “Be mad! But I’m telling you, you ain’t going to feel so good!”
