No One Needs Government: All Government and Rule Are Corrupt and Evil!
By Gary D. Barnett
January 26, 2024

“My father always said that government is like watching another man piss in your boot. Someone feels better but it certainly isn’t you.”

~ Orson Scott Card, Heartfire

Ah government, that institution invented for the sole purpose of solidifying a monopoly of force over people, so as to be able to rule over all of society with a violent iron hand. This bastardized, immoral, and vile practice now consumes this country and the world, and it has been allowed to happen with little resistance. When rule has taken hold, and is tyrannical, one can condemn the ruling class, but when that tyranny is perpetual, blame rests with the masses of people who have voluntarily accepted and embraced their own servitude. This reality is purposely avoided by most, as any acceptance of personal blame would require a responsibility not sought by the masses.

In today’s world, the situation is much worse, again due to a complete lack of individual responsibility and courage; an overwhelming  dependency on government, and an abundance of mass indifference among the herd. Few if any institutions are deserving of respect or praise as well, so universal rule is not only evident, but the lack of any worthwhile or trustworthy institutions has added fuel to the fire of tyranny. This includes NGOs, most so-called charity organizations, religious entities, churches, corporations, bureaucracies, a great majority of supposed health and medical establishments, education asylums, mainstream media, global ‘think’ tanks, and of course all authority-driven consortiums. So long as the majority expects others to take care of and protect them, obeys the rule-based master-class, and compliance is perceived to be the way to safety and survival, this paradigm shift into totalitarian hell will continue.

The power of the individual is far greater than most any imagine, especially when large groups of individuals are willing to shun even the idea of a State or rule, and to forsake compliance under any threat of force or violence. The problem of rule remains though, because while more are ‘saying’ that they are waking up, and more are promoting that narrative, the global agendas are still going forward with effectiveness, regardless of the rhetoric. It has now become in vogue actually, especially in ‘alternative media’ circles, to tout the notion that “we are winning,” and that with a new ‘election,’ the new ruler in power will throw off the chains of bondage that enslave ‘us.’ Little do they realize that there is no viable political solution, and there will never be. As Larken Rose properly stated:

“The truth is, one who seeks to achieve freedom by petitioning those in power to give it to him has already failed, regardless of the response. To beg for the blessing of “authority” is to accept that the choice is the master’s alone to make, which means that the person is already, by definition, a slave.”

All governments everywhere, including this abominable American democracy or so-called ‘constitutional republic,’ hold a ‘legal’ (illegal) monopoly on violence, and therefore use that force to restrain the population at every level possible. All it has to do is make a law, and then threaten property confiscation, incarceration, injury, or death in order to coerce compliance. Given that reality, consider just the U.S., and the astonishing multitude of its so-called laws.

No one, no statisticians, and not even this government itself, has any clue as to how many federal laws exist. No one knows how many rules, restrictions, and regulations there are, and it is impossible to find an answer to this question. The Federal Register alone, the daily repository of all proposed and final federal rules and regulations, has well over 85,000 pages. The Code of Federal Regulations through 2019,  has 186,000 pages, and the Federal Register Pages for the past decade eclipsed 800,000 pages. This alone is unimaginable. But of course, there are more. There is a law for every aspect of our lives in this country, and there are a completely separate set of international laws, State laws, county laws, city laws, and licensing laws for every activity or thought. This is total insanity, and why every single ‘citizen’ can be deemed a criminal at any given moment. Even as far back as in the times of Roman historian Tacitus, he stated that, “The more corrupt the State, the more numerous the laws.” The U.S. has more laws by far than any other nation on earth in history, and therefore is the most corrupt and criminal of all time.

When the single basis of the State is control and violence, which is always and forever the case, the essence of its people’s existence is slavery. No one needs government, as all government and rule is corrupt and evil, and the very idea that people need to be controlled in every aspect of their being by what are referred to as State-created ‘laws,’ is the epitome of immorality, and an afront to liberty.

Now, most have settled into the blind and stupid position of not only accepting the results of the choosing and selection of their next choice for Tsar, but are anxious to participate in the upcoming fraud called an ‘election.’ Many, including those anti-state pretenders, are set to vote for their own slavery once again, and the ruling circus of tyranny will continue anew.

Saying you are waking up is one thing, but acting on that so-called awakening is a whole other story. If you choose to accept your lot in life as a slave ruled by masters, and continue to participate in voting idiocy, continue to obey and conform, continue to allow the State to even exist; that very perpetrator of control and violence against you, then you will deserve your enslavement.

Aggression is not necessary in order to eliminate government power. Simply refusing to do the bidding of government at every turn, refusing to obey, refusing to be compliant, refusing to support any rule, and refusing to appoint masters to take charge of your lives, is the answer.

“Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.”

The Hierarchical Prison That Is Life in America Today
By Gary D. Barnett
January 29, 2024

“One way or another, we spend our whole lives being conditioned into accepting some line or order, some position of domination or subjection. It’s hard to unlearn such hierarchy, to undo such control. It’s implicit.”

~ Cliff James, Of Bodies Changed

We all begin our lives in a hierarchy of sorts, because we have parents or guardians, but one of which is by necessity, as infants and small children are completely helpless and dependent on care and teaching for the very sake of living, else they would simply perish from this earth. That is the difference in vital parenting and any forced hierarchy, whether private or State induced. Parenting, once the child is of any age where he possesses his own mind and can face responsibility on his own, at least to my way of thinking, should become more of a guiding experience, as opposed to harsh rule or complete acquiescence to insanity. Each has to come into this own, and therefore needs to be let loose earlier rather than later, in order to experience life and follow his dreams, whether good or bad, whether with success or failure. In the past, this happened more naturally, and at a very early age, but today, many continue to be coddled, psychologically crippled, and financially supported, even throughout much or all of their lives. This is devasting not only to the child or young adult, but to the rest of society as well, because each generation becomes more dependent, passive, and paralyzed by the whims of others than ever occurred in the past, and therefore much more likely to accept rule.

The insane indoctrination centers called ‘schools,’ especially those called ‘public’ schools, and now almost all falsely claimed ‘higher education’ centers, are basically just weak, controlling, manipulative brainwashing factories, staffed by doltish hypnotized ‘intellectuals,’ whose only function is to hold down the already obedient and compliant State subjects. This fits in directly with too much protective and smothering parenting, and is just a continuation of the advancement of the atrocious notion of a lifelong acceptance of a hierarchical existence based on cowardice, fear, and dependency. One look around today, and any study whatsoever of long-past decades, and one will be astounded at the difference. The further one looks back, the more responsible was the average person, but no longer is this so.

Thankfully, I was given mostly free rein once I was slightly older and able to make decisions on my own. This remained the case throughout most of my growing up years, until I left home at 18 years of age, immediately after having had to stomach ‘public’ school for 13 years. At least when I was in that horrible system, it was a far cry more sane than today’s psychotic madness. My first extreme experience of forced hierarchy (slavery) was when I was drafted (conscripted) into the Army during the aggressive American slaughter of the innocent Vietnamese. What was demanded was pure servitude, and total respect for hierarchical behavior, which was interestingly called the ‘chain of command.’ A telling title to be sure, and that should be how all authority should be referred to in today’s submissive and obedient society. I of course, paid little attention to this idiocy, refused to kill anyone on evil orders, did not adhere to any of this domineering nonsense, did not take general orders well, and did not comply with most any rule (demand) given. This got me removed from the base to just do my work and go home, so for the last year of my enslavement, I was little bothered.

The point I am attempting to make here, is that any strict or mandatory hierarchical demand, whether ‘requiring’ respect, ‘commanding’ a certain reverence, or expecting obedience due to any so-called title or position for the sake of just that title or position, should be discarded immediately unless an obvious and warranted respect is actually not only deserved, but voluntarily accepted and uncoerced. Any man of worth and confidence need not bow down to any other; he has no obligation to ever consider anyone his ‘superior.’ Common courtesy, common human respect for the sake of social cooperation, regard for real and honest expertise, age, and knowledge, will naturally garner admiration and appreciation without any need for any dominant posture.

In this fascist oligarchy called ‘America,’ the entirety of this country is based on hierarchy, from the top to the bottom of the belligerent class system that consumes this population. This insanity lives at every level of current societal norms, and is disgusting in that so many allow so few to rule over them without lifting a finger to stop it.

The top-down ruling system that has taken over this nation-state, is abhorrent in that it assumes layers of power of one over another, or the few over the many, in every aspect of life. This indicates that all life is to be managed, controlled, and forcefully guided, and those not adhering to this ruling restriction and regulation are to be punished; in many cases severely, whether by financial rape, property confiscation, incarceration, beating, or death. This begins with the master rule of the federal executive, and rolls downhill from there with congress, political bureaucracies, corrupt government courts, police, and military, and then begins all over with the same structure in the states. This so-called ‘chain of command’ continues throughout society down to the smallest local governing systems, but is identical in its efforts to rule over and control the lowest class of plebs called the masses.

This is by definition a hierarchical prison system, one that devastates all freedom of the individual in favor of totalitarian rule. Why is this so, and why is this the common theme of all societies on earth? Who benefits from this horrific master/slave ruling structure? Who gains power and money due to this type of layered domination of mankind? It certainly is not the common man. What kind of human desires to rule over all others, without regard for the sanctity of individual freedom that is due to every single sovereign being? Why is this barbarous evil even allowed to survive over generations?

Most all of you in this country, and most all on earth, are nothing more than prisoners of the State. You have not only voluntarily allowed this to happen, but perpetuate this prison system existence throughout your lives, and leave it in place as your offspring’s inheritance. Does this give you pause, or are you now so oblivious to your own pathetic bondage, so dependent on rules, restrictions, regulations, and ‘laws,’ by your claimed ‘betters,’ that you are no longer a sovereign independent being, but are just a meek shadow among the crowd,  and an unconscious and submissive cog in the wheel of tyranny?

There is a way out of this madness, but it requires that each and every individual take charge of his own life, instead of being ranked and classified as a ward (‘citizen’) of the State. This is not something that can be given you, it is not something that others can accomplish for your benefit, it is your responsibility alone. No one can be truly free until each of us is free.

“It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement.”

The Final Nail in the Coffin for Antidepressants
By Dr. Joseph Mercola
January 31, 2024

According to medical journalist Robert Whitaker, author of “Mad in America” and publisher of madinamerica.com, the widely-made claim that antidepressants work for nearly 7 out of 10 real-world patients is based on research misconduct and scientific fraud.

“If the major media picks up on this story, they will have the chance to report on what arguably is the worst — and most harmful — scandal in American medical history,” he wrote in a January 3, 2024, article.1

The STAR*D Study

The study in question, the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) study,2 was published in 2006. This was the largest and longest-running antidepressant effectiveness trial ever conducted and, importantly, it used real-world patients, who often cannot participate in industry trials due to exclusionary criteria.

In the end, the authors claimed an overall cumulative remission rate of 67% — far better than placebo — and this study has since been used to prop up the idea that antidepressants work in the real world, even though most clinical drug trials have found their effectiveness are on par with placebo,3 and despite the many studies debunking the serotonin theory that underpins the use of antidepressants in the first place.

As reported in a 2023 systematic umbrella review of the evidence for the serotonin theory of depression:4

“The main areas of serotonin research provide no consistent evidence of there being an association between serotonin and depression, and no support for the hypothesis that depression is caused by lowered serotonin activity or concentrations.”

Research Misconduct Revealed

However, a reanalysis5 of the STAR*D data in 2010 by psychologist Ed Pigott and colleagues revealed serious problems. As explained by Whitaker in early September 2023,6 Pigott filed a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the complete STAR*D protocol and previously undisclosed data, and with that they were able to identify the ways in which the STAR*D investigators had inflated the remission rate.

An extensive explanation of how they did this, which clearly demonstrates an intent to deceive, is given by Whitaker in a September 9, 2023, article.7 If you want to understand exactly how the remission rate was inflated, I suggest you read it, as there’s simply too much data and too many fine points to cover here.

While complex, Whitaker does a fine job explaining how the fraud was carried out, step by step, by violating the study protocol. As just one example, patients who didn’t qualify as depressed enough to even be included in the study in the first place were counted as remitted, as were patients who dropped out, mostly due to intolerance to the drugs. They also switched outcome measures and introduced theoretical elements in clear violation of the study protocol.

In summary, Pigott’s team was able to show that, had the study protocol been followed, the cumulative remission rate would only have been 35%, not 67%. Moreover, the STAR*D report omitted the stay-well rate, probably because only 3% of the 4,041 patients who entered the trial and went into remission were still in remission at the end of their one-year follow-up.

Yet, in 2009, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) director Thomas Insel wrote8 that “at the end of 12 months, with up to four treatment steps, roughly 70% of participants were in remission.”

As noted by Whitaker, Insel was telling the public and working psychiatrists that 70% of the patients in the study got well and stayed well, “a statement that exemplifies the grand scale of the STAR*D fraud.”

Similarly, the NIMH’s 2006 press release9 falsely announced that “almost 70% of those who did not withdraw from the study became symptom-free” — a clear falsehood, as the only way they got to the 67% was by including dropouts and ineligible patients.

Scientific Misconduct Rising to the Level of Fraud

Whitaker continues:10

“Seventy percent versus a reality of 3% — those are the bottom-line numbers for the public to remember when it judges whether, in the reporting of outcomes in the STAR*D study, there is evidence of an ‘intent to deceive’ …

The protocol violations and publication of a fabricated ‘principal outcome’ — the 67% cumulative remission rate — are evidence of scientific misconduct that rises to the level of fraud.

Yet, as Pigott and colleagues have published their papers deconstructing the study, the NIMH investigators have never uttered a peep in protest.

They have remained silent, and this was the case when Pigott and colleagues, in August of this year, published their latest paper11 in BMJ Open. In it, they analyzed patient-level data from the trial and detailed, once again, the protocol violations used to inflate the results …

[T]he one time a STAR*D investigator was prompted to respond, he confirmed that the 3% stay-well rate that Pigott and colleagues had published was accurate … That was 13 years ago.

The protocol violations, which are understood to be a form of scientific misconduct, had been revealed. The inflation of remission rates and the hiding of the astoundingly low stay-well rate had been revealed.

In 2011, Mad in America published two blogs12,13 by Ed Pigott detailing the scientific misconduct and put documents14 online that provided proof of that misconduct. In 2015, Lisa Cosgrove and I … published a detailed account of the scientific misconduct in our book ‘Psychiatry Under the Influence.’ The fraud was out there for all to see …

Yet, there has been no public acknowledgement by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) of this scientific misconduct. There has been no call by the APA — or academic psychiatrists in the United States — to retract the studies that reported the inflated remission rates. There has been no censure of the STAR*D investigators for their scientific misconduct …

Thus, given the documented record of scientific misconduct, in the largest and most important trial of antidepressants ever conducted, there is only one conclusion to draw: In American psychiatry, scientific misconduct is an accepted practice.”

Action Item — Demand the Withdrawal of the STAR*D Report

Since the APA is refusing to take action and has allowed the deception to stand for 17 years, Whitaker is now calling on the public to make the fraud known and demand that the 2006 STAR*D report15 be withdrawn.

“As STAR*D was designed to guide clinical care, it is of great public health importance that this be done,” he says.16

Mad in America has posted a petition on change.org urging the American Journal of Psychiatry to retract the November 2006 summary article of the STAR*D results. Please consider adding your signature.

Corruption Puts Real People in Lethal Jeopardy

Considering the severity of the misconduct, it comes as no surprise to find that eight of the 12 STAR*D investigators had ties to the manufacturer of citalopram, the first-line antidepressant used in this study. In all, the 12 investigators had 151 different ties to drug companies.

As noted by Whitaker, this scientific misconduct “has done extraordinary harm” to the public, because the study was expressly designed to assess outcomes in real-world patients and guide future clinical care. As it stands, the study has lured patients into one of the least effective and most hazardous treatment options there is.

Few psychiatrists dispute the fact that antidepressants have adverse effects — including suicidal and homicidal ideation — but the routine counterargument is that the benefits of the drugs outweigh these risks. If the 12-month effectiveness of these drugs is 3%, would that risk-benefit justification still stand? I think not.

“The American Psychiatric Association, which is best understood as a trade association that promotes the financial and professional interests of its members, has long touted antidepressants as an effective and safe treatment … The STAR*D results, if they had been accurately reported, would have derailed that societal belief,” Whitaker writes.17

“If the public had been told that in this NIMH study, which had been conducted in real-world patients, only 35% remitted, even after four treatment steps, and that only 3% remitted and were still well at the end of one year, then prescribing of these drugs — and societal demand for these drugs — surely would have plummeted.”

Inflammation and Depression

If low serotonin in the brain is not the cause behind depression, what is? One highly probable culprit is inflammation. Certain biomarkers, such as cytokines in your blood and inflammatory messengers like CRP, IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-alpha, show promise as potential new diagnostic tools, as they’ve been found to be “predictive18 and linearly19 correlative” with depression.

For example, researchers have found20 that melancholic depression, bipolar disorder and postpartum depression are associated with elevated levels of cytokines in combination with decreased cortisol sensitivity. These inflammatory agents can affect your nervous system by way of the vagus nerve, which connects your gut to your brain.21

Specialized cells called microglia in your brain are activated by inflammation, and when activated, an enzyme called indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) triggers the production of quinolinic acid that is associated with symptoms of anxiety and agitation.22

What causes rampant inflammation? One of the key culprits is the omega-6 fat linoleic acid (LA), found in high amounts in seed oils (and hence processed foods and restaurant foods of all kinds) and certain meats, like chicken and pork, as poultry and swine are fed a high-LA grain diet. For an in-depth review of the hazards of LA, see “Linoleic Acid — The Most Destructive Ingredient in Your Diet.”

Several studies have linked dietary LA intake and depressive symptoms. For example, a March 2020 study in the journal Nutrition concluded:23

“The fully adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals of depressive symptoms were 1.994 (1.298–3.063) and 1.592 (1.047–2.421) for the highest versus lowest quartile of intake of oleic acid (OA) and linoleic acid (LA), respectively. Intake of OA and LA may be positively associated with depressive symptoms in perimenopausal women.”

Another 2022 paper24 found that middle-aged adults with the highest LA intakes (top quartile) were 41% more likely to be depressed compared to those with the lowest intakes (bottom quartile). An earlier study, published in 2009, which followed patients for an average of 10.6 years, also reported a link between higher LA intake and severe depression among men.25

The Links Between Gut and Mental Health

Many studies have also confirmed that gastrointestinal inflammation specifically can play a critical role in the development of depression, suggesting that beneficial bacteria (probiotics) may be an important part of treatment. For example, a Hungarian scientific review26 published in 2011 made the following observations:

1.Depression is often found alongside gastrointestinal inflammations and autoimmune diseases as well as with cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, Type 2 diabetes and also cancer, in which chronic low-grade inflammation is a significant contributing factor. Thus the researchers suggested that “depression may be a neuropsychiatric manifestation of a chronic inflammatory syndrome.”

2.An increasing number of clinical studies have shown that treating gastrointestinal inflammation with probiotics, vitamin B, vitamin D and omega-3 fats may improve depression symptoms and quality of life by attenuating proinflammatory stimuli to your brain.

3.Research suggests the primary cause of inflammation may be dysfunction of the “gut-brain axis.” Your gut is literally your second brain, created from the identical tissue as your brain during gestation, so optimizing your gut flora may be a key part of the equation.

If you consume loads of processed foods, your gut bacteria will be severely compromised because processed foods tend to decimate healthy microflora. This leaves a void that is filled by endotoxin-producing bacteria, yeast and fungi that promote inflammation and impair the health of your “second brain.”

Vitamin D Deficiency Predisposes You to Depression

Vitamin D deficiency is another important biological factor that can play a significant role in mental health. In one 2006 study,27 seniors with vitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL were found to be 11 times more prone to be depressed than those with higher levels.

A 2007 study28 suggested that vitamin D deficiency is responsible for symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with fibromyalgia. Vitamin D deficiency is also a well-recognized cause in seasonal affective disorder29 (SAD). A double-blind randomized trial30 published in 2008 concluded that since “supplementation with high doses of vitamin D seems to ameliorate these symptoms,” there may be a “causal relationship.”

More recently, researchers31 found that seniors with vitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL had an 85% increased risk of depression, compared to those with levels above 30 ng/mL. Yet another paper published in 2011 noted that:32

“Effective detection and treatment of inadequate vitamin D levels in persons with depression and other mental disorders may be an easy and cost-effective therapy which could improve patients’ long-term health outcomes as well as their quality of life.”

Based on large-scale studies, the optimal range for general physical and mental health appears to be somewhere between 40 ng/mL and 60 ng/mL. So, if you’re depressed, you’d be well advised to get your vitamin D level checked, and to address any insufficiency or deficiency.

Exercise Is the Best Medicine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-U5OX3sbA8

As detailed in Whitaker’s books “Mad in America” and “Anatomy of an Epidemic,” physical exercise comes out on top in most studies, including when compared against antidepressant drugs. There are several likely reasons for this. For starters, exercise helps to normalize your insulin levels and boosts “feel good” hormones in your brain, including endogenous endocannabinoids like anandamide.

Exercise also allows your body to eliminate kynurenine, a harmful protein associated with depression.33 And, again showing the link between inflammation and depression, your body metabolizes kynurenine in the first place via a process that is activated by stress and inflammatory factors.

In the short video above, Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D., a biomedical scientist and researcher formerly with the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences in La Jolla, California, discusses the science behind the mood-lifting effects of exercise.

Exercise Is 1.5x More Effective Than Antidepressants

A 2023 overview of systematic reviews34 further confirms the superior benefit of exercise for the treatment of depression. In all, 97 systematic reviews with meta-analyses of controlled trials assessing the effects of exercise on adult depression, anxiety and psychological distress were included (amounting to a total of 1,039 trials involving 128,119 participants).

Populations included healthy adults, people with mental health disorders and people with chronic diseases. It’s the most comprehensive review of research to date, and clearly demonstrates that exercise can rapidly alleviate mild to moderate symptoms of depression, anxiety and other forms of psychological distress. As reported by the University of South Australia, which performed the umbrella review:35

“University of South Australia researchers are calling for exercise to be a mainstay approach for managing depression as a new study shows that physical activity is 1.5 times more effective than counselling or the leading medications …

[The study] shows that physical activity is extremely beneficial for improving symptoms of depression, anxiety, and distress. Specifically, the review showed that exercise interventions that were 12 weeks or shorter were the most effective at reducing mental health symptoms, highlighting the speed at which physical activity can make a change …

Lead UniSA researcher, Dr. Ben Singh, says physical activity must be prioritized to better manage the growing cases of mental health conditions … Higher intensity exercise had greater improvements for depression and anxiety, while longer durations had smaller effects when compared to short and mid-duration bursts.

[A]ll types of physical activity and exercise were beneficial, including aerobic exercise such as walking, resistance training, Pilates, and yoga. ‘Importantly, the research shows that it doesn’t take much for exercise to make a positive change to your mental health.’”

Dose-Response Association Between Exercise and Depression

Another systematic review,36 published in April 2022, which analyzed the association between physical activity and the risk of depression, found there’s a dose-dependent response. This review included studies from around the world published up until December 2020. In all, 15 studies were included, with a total of 191,130 participants.
“… if less active adults had achieved the current physical activity recommendations, 11.5% of depression cases could have been prevented.” ~ JAMA Psychiatry

All studies included assessed the effects of at least three different exposure levels and had a follow-up of at least three years. Compared to those who did not exercise, people who got half the recommended volume of physical activity (150 to 300 minutes of moderate intensity activity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise per week) lowered their risk for depression by 18%. Those who got the recommended amount lowered their risk by 25%. According to the authors:

“… if less active adults had achieved the current physical activity recommendations, 11.5% of depression cases could have been prevented … Health practitioners should therefore encourage any increase in physical activity to improve mental health.”

Take Care of Your Mouth to Protect Your Brain
By Dr. Joseph Mercola
January 26, 2024

It’s unfortunate how many fail to fully appreciate the importance oral health has on their overall health. The fact of the matter is, the delicate balance of bacteria in your mouth is as important to your health as your gut microbiome.

When certain bacteria become overabundant, various problems start to develop, and not just in your mouth. Other parts of your body can also be severely affected.

For example, periodontal disease, which affects the soft tissues and bone in your mouth, is initiated by an increase in Porphyromonas gingivalis, a bacteria that also impairs your innate immune response1 and increases your risk of Type 2 diabetes,2,3 heart disease,4 pneumonia,5,6 autoimmune conditions and mental health disorders.

https://takecontrol.substack.com/p/gum-d...tal-health

Oral Bacteria Can Fuel Systemic Inflammation and Neurodegeneration

When bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease enter into your circulatory system, your liver releases C-reactive proteins, which have inflammatory effects. Inflammation, in turn, is known to be a disease-causing force leading to most chronic illness, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). As reported in a 2022 scientific review:7

“It has been proposed that periodontal disease can initiate or contribute to the AD pathogenesis through multiple pathways, including key periodontal pathogens.

Dysbiotic oral bacteria can release bacterial products into the bloodstream and eventually cross the brain-blood barrier; these bacteria can also cause alterations to gut microbiota that enhance inflammation and potentially affect brain function via the gut-brain axis.

The trigeminal nerve has been suggested as another route for connecting oral bacterial products to the brain … Clinical evidence has suggested that patients with periodontitis are at a higher risk of developing PD and MS.

This nexus among the brain, periodontal disease, and systemic inflammation heralds new ways in which microglial cells, the main innate immune cells, and astrocytes, the crucial regulators of innate and adaptive immune responses in the brain, contribute to brain pathology.

Currently, the lack of understanding of the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration is hindering treatment development. However, we may prevent this pathogenesis by tackling one of its possible contributors (periodontitis) for systemic inflammation through simple preventive oral hygiene measures.”

Poor Oral Health Damages Your Brain

Indeed, many studies have linked poor oral health to an increased risk of dementia.8 A 2019 study,9 which discovered P. gingivalis in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, speculated that the bacteria, responsible for periodontal disease, may be a causative contributor to Alzheimer’s.

Toxic proteases from the bacterium called gingipains were also found, “and levels correlated with tau and ubiquitin pathology.” These gingipains were also shown to have neurotoxic effects in and of themselves, both in vivo and in vitro. Using a synthetic gingipains inhibitor, the researchers were able to reduce neuroinflammation by lowering the bacterial load of P. gingivalis.

Another study10 found that failing to brush teeth daily increased the risk of dementia by as much as 65%, compared to brushing three times a day. Most recently, an observational study11 involving 40,175 middle-aged adults with no history of stroke or dementia, found that people with poor oral health had higher levels of neuroimaging markers associated with white brain matter injury.
“Because the neuroimaging markers evaluated in this study precede and are established risk factors of stroke and dementia, our results suggest that oral health … may be a promising target for very early interventions focused on improving brain health.” ~ Neurology January 23, 2024

As noted by the authors:12

“Because the neuroimaging markers evaluated in this study precede and are established risk factors of stroke and dementia, our results suggest that oral health, an easily modifiable process, may be a promising target for very early interventions focused on improving brain health.”

Authors of an accompanying editorial also noted:13

“The fact that these imaging changes are seen in asymptomatic persons offers the hope that if the association is causal, interventions to improve oral health could pay huge dividends in subsequent brain health.”

Optimize Your Diet for Oral Health

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxcJM50q3Hg

Caries and periodontal disease are primarily induced by a poor diet combined with poor oral care, so both of these factors need to be addressed. To optimize your diet for oral health and mitochondrial function, you’ll want to:

• Radically reduce your intake of refined sugars and processed foods, as they fuel the growth of disease-causing bacteria in your mouth. Instead, focus on eating real food, meaning whole, unprocessed food.

• Optimize your vitamin D, K2, magnesium and calcium levels. These nutrients work synergistically to help protect your gums, teeth and bones. Calcium strengthens your bones but only works when it gets into the right places. Vitamin K2 directs calcium into bone and prevents it from being deposited along blood vessel walls.

Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of inflammatory diseases and is associated with a higher risk of disease. Your vitamin D3 level should ideally be above 60 ng/mL for proper bone formation. If you cannot keep your serum levels at or above 60 ng/mL using sensible sun exposure, consider using an oral vitamin D3 supplement.

• Increase your intake of vitamin C and/or CoQ10 if you’re struggling with bleeding gums, as this is a common sign of both vitamin C and CoQ10 deficiency.

Toothbrushing Do’s and Don’ts

When it comes to oral health, regular toothbrushing is first on the list. Research suggests the ideal brushing time is two minutes, and the ideal pressure is 150 grams, which is about the weight of an orange. Brushing your teeth too hard and longer than necessary may cause more harm than good, so there’s no reason to brush harder or longer.

Ideally, brush twice or three times a day — in the morning, evening, and 30 to 60 minutes after your main meal. The reason why brushing immediately after eating is not recommended is because doing so may weaken rather than strengthen your tooth enamel.

This counterintuitive finding was revealed in a 2004 study,14 which found that brushing your teeth too soon following eating or drinking, especially acidic foods and drinks such as soda, accelerates dentin erosion.

As for toothpaste, I recommend using nonfluoridated versions. Also check the ingredient list for other harmful ingredients such as triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, propylene glycol, diethanolamine, parabens and microbeads. Your safest bet is make your own toothpaste, which is both simple and inexpensive.

For example, you could simply mix coconut oil and baking soda with a pinch of Himalayan salt. High-quality peppermint essential oil can be added for flavor and cavity prevention. Start with a couple of tablespoons of coconut oil and baking soda, and add more of one or the other until you get an agreeable consistency. (Slightly firmer consistency tends to be easier to use.)

The Importance of Flossing

While most people brush their teeth every day, the practice of flossing is more frequently overlooked. This is unfortunate, as flossing is perhaps even more important than brushing.

It removes bacterial precursors of plaque, which eventually turns into hard tartar that cannot be removed by regular brushing or flossing. Tartar is what eventually causes the damage that leads to decay and tooth loss. I recommend using a dental floss covered in vegan wax to avoid toxic PFAS chemicals. To ensure a proper floss:

https://takecontrol.substack.com/p/denta...s-exposure


    Use a piece of floss that is about 15 to 18 inches long and wrap each end around your index fingers. If you have wider spaces between your teeth, use Super Floss, which is thicker
    Gently slide the floss between your teeth. Avoid snapping the floss down into your gums
    At the gum line, wrap the floss around the side of the tooth in the shape of a “C,” and gently but firmly slide the floss up and down the tooth and side-to-side, making sure you get down into the gum line as well. Make sure you scrub both sides of the adjacent teeth before moving on to the next set
    Repeat on the rest of your teeth, including the back side of your last tooth

If dexterity is an issue, use soft plaque removers instead of floss. Similar to toothpicks, they allow you to clean between your teeth with one hand. If brushing, flossing or using a plaque remover causes your gums to bleed, this is a warning sign that bacteria are at work, causing damage.

If left to fester, it can easily cause chronic inflammation elsewhere in your body. The answer is to gently floss and brush more often, until your gums no longer bleed from brushing or flossing. If bleeding persists longer than a week, see a dentist.

An alternative to floss is to use an oral irrigator. Here, you have the option of adding a couple of tablespoons of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the water tank. Hydrogen peroxide was first used as a treatment for gum disease in 1913, and is still used in the treatment of both gingivitis (gum inflammation) and periodontitis.16

Rinsing or irrigating your mouth with diluted hydrogen peroxide is an effective way to kill the harmful bacteria associated with these conditions. Just be sure to dilute it with plain water and do not swallow it.

Caring for Your Teeth and Gums Beyond Brushing and Flossing

Other helpful strategies include:

Ozonated oil — Ozone gas can effectively treat dental decay and gum disease17 but must be done by a holistic dentist, as inhaling the gas can be dangerous.

For home use, ozonated oil, available on Amazon and other online retailers, is a good alternative, as it’s safe and easy to use. You can rub it into the gum line with your finger, a Q tip or toothpick, or smear some on a piece of floss to get the ozone down between your teeth.

Methylene blue — Used as a mouthwash, methylene blue, in a 0.5% to 1% concentration, has been shown to deactivate harmful microorganisms that lead to periodontitis.18,19

Xylitol — This natural sugar alcohol has been shown to reduce and even reverse early dental caries by inhibiting the proliferation of mutans streptococci (MS) in plaque and saliva, and reducing the adhesion of microorganisms to the surface of your teeth.20

You can easily find xylitol toothpastes, mouthwashes, oral tablets and chewing gum. Just make sure the products you buy do not contain fluoride or triclosan, as both are toxic. Also keep xylitol-containing products away from pets. It’s extremely toxic to dogs in particular.

Oil pulling — Oil pulling is a gentle, evidence-based way to reduce plaque, gingivitis and bad breath.21,22,23,24 According to Ayurvedic tradition, oil pulling may also improve more than 30 systemic diseases, including inflammation.25

Ideally, you’ll want to do it for 15 to 20 minutes per day, but work your way up slowly. It may take a while before you get used to working the muscles in your cheeks for that long. When done, spit the oil into a trash can or toilet (spitting it into the sink may cause your drain to clog), then rinse your mouth with water and brush your teeth as usual.

While coconut oil is routinely recommended for oil pulling, MCT oil may be an even better alternative. While both have antiseptic, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, compared to coconut oil, MCT oil contains more fatty acids, which makes it more effective at trapping harmful bacteria and disrupting biofilms.26 It’s also liquid, making it easier to swish around your mouth.

Peppermint essential oil — Peppermint oil extract has been shown to be significantly more effective in preventing development of biofilm that may lead to cavities and bad breath than the mouthwash chemical chlorhexidine.27

A simple homemade mouthwash by Lindsey Elmore28 can be made using half a cup of distilled water, 2 teaspoons baking soda, half a teaspoon sea salt, four drops of peppermint essential oil, three drops of clove essential oil, two drops of tea tree essential oil, and xylitol to taste. Simply mix the ingredients in a glass bottle and shake well before each use. Swish and spit out. Do not swallow.

Homeopathic tissue salts such as silica, calcarea fluorica (calcium fluoride), calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate can also help boost oral health from the inside out. (Calcium fluoride should not be confused with the chemical formulation of sodium fluoride found in toothpaste, which is toxic and carries a poison warning).

Always breathing through your nose — While this may seem out of context, how you breathe can have a big impact on your oral health. Chronic mouth breathing dries out your mouth, thereby encouraging microbial growth that leads to caries and periodontitis. To learn more, see “Top Breathing Techniques for Better Health.”

https://takecontrol.substack.com/p/best-...techniques

In closing, if you’ve been lax about your oral health, make this the year you grab the proverbial bull by the horn and really make an effort to address the health of your mouth. It’s a relatively simple prevention strategy that can pay big dividends by preventing serious and costly health problems.

The Military Routinely Disperses Aluminum-Coated Fiberglass Into the Air
By Dr. Joseph Mercola
February 9, 2024

In addition to the weather modification1 going on around the world, militaries around the world are also routinely dispersing tiny bits of aluminum-coated fiberglass and plastic — known as “chaff” — into the air column, to shield aircraft and ships from enemy radar.2 Not surprisingly, this has been done for decades, without clear evidence that it’s safe for humans and the environment.

According to a 1998 General Accounting Office report3 and a 1999 follow-up report4 by the Naval Research Laboratory, the environmental, human and agricultural impacts of chaff used in military training scenarios at the time were “negligible and far less than those from other man-made emissions,” but does that really mean it’s safe? As explained in a 2001 Navy Medicine paper:5

“Radiofrequency (RF) chaff is an electronic countermeasure designed to reflect radar waves and obscure planes, ships, and other assets from radar tracking sources.

Chaff consists of aluminum-coated glass fibers (also referred to as dipoles) ranging in lengths from 0.8 to 0.75 cm. Chaff is released or dispensed from military vehicles in cartridges or projectiles that contain millions of dipoles.

When deployed, a diffuse cloud of dipoles is formed that is undetectable to the human eye. Chaff is a very light material that can remain suspended in air anywhere from 10 minutes to 10 hours and can travel considerable distances from its release point, depending on prevailing atmospheric conditions.

Training for military personnel, particularly aircraft pilots, in the use of chaff is necessary to deploy this electronic countermeasure effectively. As with most acquired skills, the deployment of chaff must be maintained by practicing in-flight release during training.

It is estimated that the U.S. Armed Forces dispense about 500 tons of chaff per year, with most chaff being released during training exercises within the continental United States.”

Is Chaff Safe?

According to the Naval Medicine investigation, inhalation of whole, intact chaff fibers pose “no risk” to humans due to their larger size. “If inhaled, dipoles are predicted to deposit in the nose, mouth, or trachea and are either swallowed or expelled,” the paper states.6

Note the use of the word “predicted,” however. Predictions are not evidence. They’re basically guessing. Open questions also remain about what happens when the fibers degrade.

“Several investigations have demonstrated that Al-coated dipoles are resistant to weathering and breakdown under desert conditions,” the paper states.7

“A 1977 US Navy-sponsored a study found no evidence to indicate that chaff degrades significantly or quickly in water from the Chesapeake Bay nor did this material leach significant amounts of aluminum into the Bay.

A recent study by our group found no evidence that 25 years of chaff operations at the Naval Research Laboratory detachment at Chesapeake Beach, MD resulted in a significant increase in sediment or soil aluminum concentrations (Wilson et al 2000).

However, additional studies are needed to determine the half-life of chaff dipoles in various soils and environmental conditions and whether dipoles breakdown to respirable particles …

Although there is no definitive evidence from the epidemiological literature that chaff exposure is not harmful, there is epidemiological information available on workers involved in the glass fiber manufacturing industry. Data from these studies suggests that exposure to fibrous glass is not associated with increased risk of death from respiratory disease.”

The problem with that is that fiberglass workers are equipped with protective gear, including respirators, Tyvek suits and safety goggles8 — gear that normal people don’t wear when they’re out and about. All this tells us is that chaff is unlikely to cause harm to public health, provided people are wearing respirators, which they don’t.

Remarkably, not much beyond these three reports exist. While all admitted the need for continued research, none appears to have been published, so there’s really no telling what the real-world impact might be. That said, common sense tells us that air dispersed aluminum and fiberglass is highly likely to have some sort of impact on the environment and human health.

Geoengineering Has Been Going on for Decades

Aluminum and fiberglass are not the only toxins being sprayed across our skies. As detailed by Dane Wigington, founder of Geoengineeringwatch.org, weather modification, also known as geoengineering, in which various toxic metals and chemicals are dispersed at high altitude, has been going on for more than 70 years, and is increasing rather than declining.

In response to a United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report issued in August 2021,9,10 which called for radical measures to prevent further global warming, the Biden Administration launched a research effort in 2022 to determine the most effective way to dim the sun.11

One proposal involves injecting sulfur dioxide aerosols into the Earth’s stratosphere. The tiny reflective particles would bounce sunlight back into space instead of onto the Earth’s surface.12 According to Harvard researchers,13 this strategy is not only “technically possible” but also “remarkably inexpensive,” having a price tag that is “well within the reach of several nations.”

Earth’s climate is largely controlled by how much solar radiation reaches the Earth and how much is absorbed by its surface or reradiated to space. Cloud coverage and greenhouse gasses are examples of factors that influence the reflectance of solar radiation.14

“If geoengineering proposals are to influence global climate in any meaningful way, they must intentionally alter the relative influence of one of these controlling mechanisms,” Britannica explains.15

The U.N. report mentions solar radiation management and greenhouse gas removal as forms of geoengineering.16 Sulfate aerosols fall into the solar radiation management category. By reflecting more solar radiation back into space, the aerosols lower global temperatures but also have a serious “side effect” — they lower average precipitation.

As a result, additional geoengineering techniques — such as thinning out cirrus clouds in the upper atmosphere — would be necessary to counteract the decrease in precipitation. What could possibly go wrong?

Supercomputers have run models to predict how solar radiation management may affect different parts of the Earth, not only in terms of temperature but also rainfall and snowfall. Report author Govindasamy Bala, from the Indian Institute of Science, said “the science is there,”17 but it’s far from an exact one.

“I think the next big question,” Bala told Reuters, “is, do you want to do it? … That involves uncertainty, moral issues, ethical issues and governance.” As Reuters reported, “That’s because every region would be affected differently. While some regions could gain in an artificially cooler world, others could suffer by, for example, no longer having conditions to grow crops.”18

‘Catastrophic Risks’

Three months after the IPCC published its panic-inciting report, Australian and British researchers published an original research article warning that stratospheric aerosol injection carries “catastrophic risks” that may well lead us into “a fate worse than [global] warming”:19

“Injecting particles into atmosphere to reflect sunlight, stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), represents a potential technological solution to the threat of climate change. But could the cure be worse than the disease? …

SAI plausibly interacts with other catastrophic calamities, most notably by potentially exacerbating the impacts of nuclear war or an extreme space weather event. SAI could contribute to systemic risk by introducing stressors into critical systems such as agriculture.

SAI’s systemic stressors, and risks of systemic cascades and synchronous failures, are highly understudied. SAI deployment more tightly couples different ecological, economic, and political systems. This creates a precarious condition of latent risk, the largest cause for concern …

A well-coordinated use of a small amount of SAI would incur negligible risks, but this is an optimistic scenario. Conversely, larger use of SAI used in an uncoordinated manner poses many potential dangers. We cannot equivocally determine whether SAI will be worse than warming. For now, a heavy reliance on SAI seems an imprudent policy response.”

In June 2023, the European Commission put out a call for “international talks on the dangers and governance of geoengineering,” warning that geoengineering schemes aimed at altering the global climate pose “unacceptable” risks. During a news conference, EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans stated:

“Nobody should be conducting experiments alone with our shared planet. This should be discussed in the right forum, at the highest international level.”

Time will tell whether such talks ever take place. In September 2023, the Climate Overshoot Commission, chaired by Pascal Lamy, a former World Trade Organization chief, called for a worldwide moratorium on solar radiation modification experiments “that would carry risk of significant transboundary harm,” and to focus instead on strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.20,21 But, as of yet, no such moratorium has been agreed upon.

Socialist Ideology, Not Climate Science

Zuzana Janosova Den Boer experienced Communist rule in Czechoslovakia before moving to Canada. In her article, “I Survived Communism — Are You Ready for Your Turn?” she detailed the “all-too familiar signs of the same propaganda” starting to permeate her adopted country.22

In relation to geoengineering, she points out that communism has been subverting the environmentalist movement since the 1970s, when then-chairman of the Communist Party USA, Gus Hall, published a book called “Ecology,” in which he stated:23

“Human society cannot basically stop the destruction of the environment under capitalism. Socialism is the only structure that makes it possible … We must be the organizers, the leaders of these movements.”

Den Boer writes:24

“This idea was incorporated into the U.S. Green Party program in 1989 … in which the fictitious threats of ‘global warming’ and ‘climate change’ are used to scare the public into believing humanity must ‘save the planet’:

‘This urgency, along with other Green issues and themes it interrelates, makes confronting the greenhouse [effect] a powerful organizing tool … Survival is highly motivating, and may help us to build a mass movement that will lead to large-scale political and societal change in a very short time …

First of all, we [must] inform the public that the crisis is more immediate and severe than [they] are being told, [that] its implications are too great to wait for the universal scientific confirmation that only eco-catastrophe would establish.’”

The U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Den Boer suggests, is promoting not climate science but socialist ideology, citing as evidence comments made by Ottmar Georg Edenhofer, former co-chair of the IPCC Working Group III, who in a 2010 interview stated that climate issues are about economics, and that:25

“We must free ourselves from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy … We must state clearly that we use climate policy de facto to redistribute the world’s wealth.”

Geoengineering Poses Extinction-Level Threat to Humanity

Even without factoring in social control, the practical risks of geoengineering are impossible to ignore. According to scientific studies, the particulates dispersed during these geoengineering events “shred” the ozone layer. They also disrupt the hydrological (rain) cycle, which leads to another host of downstream effects, and this is in addition to spreading toxins across the entire planet surface.

So, while some of the planet might benefit from these programs, other parts could be decimated by droughts, raging forest fires, flooding or storms. Moreover, while global cooling is the stated aim of most of these geoengineering programs, as the planet warms, the laws of physics state you need more precipitation to cool it, not less, because the atmosphere carries more moisture as the temperature rises.

To cool the planet, you need to create more rain, but these programs have resulted in less rain, and the reason for the reduction in rain fall is due to the particulates in the atmosphere. In addition to deflecting heat from the outside, these particles also trap heat down below, making the overall heating of the planet massively worse.
According to Dane Wigington, founder of Geoengineeringwatch.org, the risks of geoengineering are so immense, it poses an extinction-level threat to humanity, and the window of opportunity to save ourselves is rapidly closing.

The risks are so immense, Wigington warns geoengineering already poses an extinction-level threat to humanity. The window of opportunity to save ourselves is rapidly closing.

Unfortunately, if people really understood the totality of the situation — not just that the climate is being manipulated, but that as a result, the global climate systems have deteriorated to the point that the entire Earth is in serious trouble; in short, that these programs may have created a runaway extinction event — the emotional impact might be too great to bear for many. Wigington addressed this in an interview I did with him back in 2016:

“Our situation is far more severe than most people have any understanding of,” he said. “Climate engineering is making the situation worse, not better.

So [they must] try to keep the population from panicking because of the severity and immediacy of the climate implosion, and keep the population in the dark because the climate intervention programs have helped to accelerate this process and toxified every single one of us in the process.

Every single human subject we test is packed full of aluminum, barium — all the heavy metals we know are associated with these programs. It doesn’t matter where they live.

And we know it’s coming down in the precipitation in unimaginable quantities — quantities enough to change soil pH values in the Pacific Northwest 10 to 12 times total alkaline — that’s an unimaginable amount of metal coming down in the rain.

If populations understood, truly, what’s been done to them, what’s been done to the planet … they’d be taking to the streets with pitchforks and torches all over the globe.”

California Aquatic and Terrestrial Insect Life Has Been Decimated

Geoengineeringwatch.org lists a number of lab tests that have been performed on rain water, air sample and more, and their results. You can find them under the Tests section.

“In regard to the effect in the environment, in Northern California alone … what we’ve seen in the last decade … is a 90% decline in aquatic and terrestrial insect life — a virtual crash,” Wigington told me in 2016.

“There’s so much aluminum coming down the precipitation, affecting the soil pH, and — this is very important — the UV radiation level is off the charts, and that we can link directly to climate engineering … We’re seeing UVB levels about 1,000% higher than we’re being told. It’s burning the bark off of trees. It’s killing plankton. It’s affecting insect life …

[It increases UVB radiation] because it shreds the natural protection for the planet. When you put a particle in the atmosphere, it doesn’t matter whether it’s from a back of a jet or a volcano; it causes a chemical reaction in the atmosphere that destroys ozone. Period. So the more of these particles you put in the atmosphere, the more rapid the ozone destruction is.”

With all of that in mind, it’s highly unlikely that military chaff dispersements have no negative impact. An argument could be made that chaff is too important of a defense system to get rid of, and that may be true. But the climate-specific engineering is another matter altogether.

In years past, it was kept hush-hush, and dismissed as a conspiracy theory. Since then, however, governments around the world, and international bodies like the U.N. have become quite open about the use of geoengineering for climate control, and if the global public does not push back against these efforts, we might not survive to regret it.

Geoengineeringwatch.org has a list of action items you can review if you want to get involved and get the word out. I also recommend watching Wigington’s documentary “The Dimming,” below, to learn more.

Carbon Dioxide — The Gas of Life
By Dr. Joseph Mercola
January 29, 2024

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXJ7UZjFDHU

The video above, “CO2, The Gas of Life,” features a lecture given at the Summit Old Guard Meeting in New Jersey, October 3, 2023, by William Happer, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of physics at Princeton University and former scientific adviser to the Bush and Trump administrations.

The topic: carbon dioxide (CO2), commonly mischaracterized as a harmful waste product of respiration and a pollutant that is disrupting the planetary climate. As explained by Happer in this lecture, CO2 is actually an essential gas necessary for life. Moreover, its impact on Earth’s temperatures is negligible, and will remain negligible even if the current concentration in the atmosphere were to double.

CO2 Is Not a Pollutant

At present, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere at a few thousand feet of elevation is around 430 parts per million (ppm). Closer to the ground, concentrations vary widely, both by location and time of day. This is because ground-level readings are impacted by photosynthesis and the respiration of insects and the like.

In the room where Happer was giving his lecture, the CO2 reading was 1,800 ppm — the result of having a large group of people breathing in a closed space. Air conditioning systems have CO2 meters that turn on fans to bring outdoor air inside when levels get too high.

The question of what is too high is an important one, considering The Great Resetters are pushing a green agenda that demands the dismantling of energy infrastructure and farming in the name of stopping climate change, which quite obviously threatens our quality of life and food supply. Ultimately, it may threaten human existence altogether.

The fact of the matter is that CO2 is not the “bad guy” it’s made out to be, and the “net zero” agenda is wholly inappropriate if maintaining life on Earth is part of the equation.

“CO2 is a very essential and natural part of life,” Happer says. “It is the gas of life. We’re made of carbon after all, mostly carbon, and we breathe out a lot of CO2 a day just by living. Each of us breathes out about 2 pounds of CO2 a day. Multiply that by 8 billion people and 365 days a year, and just [by] living, people are a non-negligible part of the CO2 budget of the Earth.

Nevertheless, we are living through a crusade against so-called pollutant CO2. People talk about carbon pollution. [But] every one of us is polluting Earth by breathing, [so] if you want to stop polluting … apparently God wants us to commit suicide …

We’re doing all sorts of crazy things because of this alleged pollutant … more and more beautiful meadows are being covered with black solar panels. It doesn’t work very well; it doesn’t work at all at night. It doesn’t work on cloudy days. It doesn’t work terribly well in the middle of the winter because of the angle of the sun.

But nevertheless we’re doing it. We’re being misled into climate hysteria, and if you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend it. It was published first in 1841, called ‘Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.’ It’s as relevant today as it was then …

I’m a physicist. I’m proud to say that no one could call me a climate scientist, but I know a lot about climate and I was a coauthor of one of the first books on the effects of carbon dioxide 41 years ago. This was a study done by the Jason Group which I was a member of. I was chairman for a while and it had really good people there.”

Long-Term Impact of Increasing Atmospheric CO2

The key question when it comes to global warming is, how much do you warm the Earth if you double the atmospheric CO2 concentration? This is called the climate sensitivity question. The GUESS is that doubling CO2 would result in a 3-degree centigrade rise in the global temperature.

“It was not based on any hard calculations,” Happer says. “It was because of group-think. That’s what everybody else thought, and so that’s what we thought. Now, in my defense, one of the reasons I didn’t pay much attention to this [is because] I was working on something at this time that I thought was much more important. So, let me tell you about that, so you get a feeling for why I think I’m qualified to pontificate about this subject.

It was the beginning of the Strategic Defense Initiative, of Star Wars … President Reagan … wanted some way to defend the United States so that we didn’t have to have this mass suicide pact, and among other things we considered using high-powered lasers to burn up incoming missiles …

But here’s the problem. If you take the 1 megawatt laser on the ground and you send it toward the missile, by the time it gets to the missile, the beam — instead of focusing all the power on the missile — breaks up into hundreds of sub beams — speckles — and this was something that was well-known to astronomers. You have the same problem when you’re looking at distant stars and galaxies.

Astronomers knew how to fix this … If you can measure how much this wave is bent, then you can bounce it off a mirror bent in the opposite direction, and when the wave bounces up it’s absolutely flat. That’s called adaptive optics and it works beautifully. Then, when you focus the corrected beam, you get a single spot instead of hundreds of [beams].

The trouble with that is that if you look at the night sky, there are only four or five stars that are bright enough to have enough photons to do the measurement of the distortion of the wave. So, we had a classified meeting in the summer of 1982. There were a number of Air Force officers there who explained the problem. By chance, I knew how to solve it.

You can make an artificial star anywhere in the sky by shining a laser tuned to the sodium frequency onto the layer of sodium above our heads, at 90 to 100 kilometers.”

While the Air Force was initially dubious about there being a sodium layer in the atmosphere, they did eventually build the sodium laser proposed by Happer, and if you go to any ground-based telescope today, you’ll usually see one or two of them. Anyway, that story was simply to impress you with the fact that Happer knows what he’s talking about when it comes to atmospheric constituents and their related phenomena.

CO2 Has No Discernible Impact on Earth Temperatures

According to the climate alarmists, rising CO2 will result in global warming that will threaten all life on earth. In actuality, however, CO2 “is a very puny tool to do anything to the climate,” Happer says.

Keep in mind that there’s no single temperature on the Earth. It varies by location and altitude. For every kilometer of altitude, you have an average cooling of 6.6 degrees C. This is known as the lapse rate. That cooling continues up to the troposphere, where it stops.

The cooling is due to the fact that warm air rises and cool air descends. “It’s the convection that sets that rapid drop of temperatures — 6-and-a-half degrees per kilometer,” Happer says. He then explains the following graph, which details the thermal radiation to space from the Earth, assuming a surface temperature of 15.5 degrees C. The greenhouse gases is the area beneath the jagged black curve.

According to Happer, this is only 70% of what it would be without greenhouse gases, which is shown as the smooth blue curve, because as the sun heats the earth, greenhouse gases — mostly water vapor — impede cooling.

The most important part of this graph is the red jagged line, shown here with a red arrow pointing to it. That red line shows the effect that a doubling (a 100% increase) of CO2 would have on the surface temperature of Earth. As you can see, it’s negligible. It decreases radiation into space by just 1.1%.

https://lrc-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/...20x387.jpg

As noted by Happer:

“Let that sink in. We’re far from doubling [CO2] today. It’ll take a long time, [and] it only causes a 1% change. So, CO2 is a very poor greenhouse gas. It’s not an efficient greenhouse gas.”

If you remove ALL CO2, you end up with the green jagged curve. As you can see, the green and black jagged lines run parallel with the exception of one spot. There’s a huge effect if you go from zero CO2 to 400 ppm (green arrow). But it’s again negligible when you go from 400 ppm to 800 ppm (black arrow). As explained by Happer:

“You get all of the effect in the first little bit of added CO2 … So, it’s really true that doubling CO2 only causes a 1% decrease of radiation. The IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] gets the same answer so this is not really controversial, although they will never show you the curve or tell you that it’s 1%. That would interfere with the narrative …

So, this is radiation to space. How do you change that into a temperature? They’re worried that we’ll get intolerable warming of the surface of the Earth where we live, or other parts of the atmosphere.

Here again it’s important to do the first order calculation … and it says that the warming from doubling CO2 is … less than one degree … 0.7 [degree] C. Very small. You really can’t feel that.”

Why, Then, the Alarm Over Rising CO2?

Needless to say, this is a huge problem for the climate science community, because a 0.7 degree C difference means there’s no climate emergency, and no matter what we do to reduce CO2 emissions, it’s not going to impact the climate.

So, to fabricate an emergency where there really is none, the IPCC “assumes enormous positive feedbacks,” Happer says. Because CO2 is not a potent greenhouse gas, the tiny direct warming caused by it is amplified by factors of anywhere from four to six to make it seem like it has a discernible impact.

“I like to say it’s affirmative action for CO2,” Happer says. “It’s not very good at warming but if you assume lots of feedback, you can keep the money coming in.” The problem with that is that most who have a background in physical chemistry and physics know that most natural feedbacks are negative, not positive.

“The 0.7 degree C of warming you get when you double the CO2 is probably an overestimate, because there are probably negative feedbacks operating in this very complicated climate system that we live in.” ~ William Happer, Ph.D.

This is known as the Chatelier Principle, named after the French chemist who first discovered that “when a simple system in thermodynamic equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, temperature, volume or pressure … the system changes to a new equilibrium and … the change partly counteracts the applied change.”

So, the 0.7 degree C of warming you get when you double the CO2 is “probably an overestimate,” Happer says, “because there are probably negative feedbacks operating in this very complicated climate system that we live in. The atmosphere, the oceans, everything is nonlinear.”

The key take-home from all this is that whether we’re at 400 ppm of CO2 or 800 ppm doesn’t matter when it comes to impacting the temperature of the earth. In short, the climate hysteria is just that. It’s not based on any real threat. Only if we were able to get to absolute zero CO2 would there be a change, but doing so also means we’d exterminate all living things on the planet. It’s nothing short of a suicide agenda.

More CO2 Will Green the Planet

As explained by Happer, more CO2 will green the planet, making it more hospitable to plant life. The more CO2 there is, the better plants and trees grow, so if we want lush forests and bountiful harvests, cutting CO2 is the last thing we’d want to do.

“All plants grow better with more CO2 [in the air],” he says. “Plants are really starved [of] CO2 today. We know plants need many essential nutrients. They need nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium; most important of all they need water. But they also need CO2, and like many of the other nutrients, CO2 today is in short supply.”

CO2 benefits plants by reducing their water needs, hence less risk from drought. Higher CO2 levels also reduce harmful photorespiration. According to Happer, C3-type plants lose about 25% of their photosynthesis potential due to increased photorespiration. For more in-depth information about the role of CO2 in plant growth and photosynthesis, please view the video. This discussion begins around the 40-minute mark.

Lies, Ignorance, Stupidity or Something Else?

In closing, Happer makes an effort to explain what’s driving the climate hysteria:

“In spite of incontrovertible arguments that there is no climate emergency — CO2 is good for the Earth — the campaign to banish CO2, ‘net zero,’ has been very successful. So, how can that be? I’m really out of my depth here because now I’m talking about human nature. I’m really good with instruments and with solving differential equations but I’m not very good at understanding human beings.

But here are some of the drivers: noble lies, political lies, ignorance, stupidity, greed. Noble lies goes back to Plato who discusses it in ‘The Republic.’ ‘In politics, a noble lie is a myth or untruth, often, but not invariably of a religious nature, knowingly propagated by an elite to maintain social harmony or to advance an agenda.’

And here there’s a clear agenda. If you could somehow unite mankind to fight some external threat, for example CO2 pollution, then we won’t fight each other. There won’t be wars. So, I think many sincere people have latched on to the CO2 narrative partly for that reason. You can actually read about it in the early writings of the Club of Rome.

Then there are political lies. This is one my favorite H.L. Menken quotes: ‘The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.’”

Ignorance, of course, is widespread, and largely based on incomplete knowledge or a flawed understanding of the facts. And what of stupidity? Dietrich Bonhoeffer, one of the few German clergymen who opposed Hitler and eventually paid for his public dissent with his life, once wrote about human stupidity:

“Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protest nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved — indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions.

So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one.”

Happer himself has experienced the danger of opposing stupidity. “I regularly get phone calls threatening me, my wife and children with death,” he says. “So, what kind of movement is this?” Lastly, greed. A.S. Pushkin once said, “If there should happen to be a trough, there will be pigs.” And climate science is currently where the big bucks are — provided your work furthers the global warming narrative and the need for net zero emissions.

Whatever the drivers are, responsible people everywhere need to push back against the false climate change narrative and the net zero agenda, as it will accomplish nothing in terms of normalizing temperatures, but will rapidly erode quality of life and the sustainability of food production, and shift wealth into the hands of the few.

You've Been Genetically Hijacked to Produce Pfizer's Pfrankenstein Proteins
By Dr. Joseph Mercola
February 7, 2024

The toxic spike protein produced in your body if you receive a COVID-19 shot is not the only health concern to be aware of. Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 shots also instruct cells to produce additional “off-target” proteins that could pose significant health risks.

The finding was revealed by a team of U.K. researchers1 who found a “glitch” occurred due to the way the COVID-19 shots were genetically modified. As a result, unwanted proteins are produced, with unknown effects — a phenomenon that should have been detected long before the experimental shots were given to millions of people.

Modified mRNA in COVID-19 Shots Is ‘Prone to Reading Errors’

Ribosomes decode mRNA in cells, but about 8% of the time those in COVID-19 shots may misread the coded instructions, Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D., a former medical scientist with the University of Adelaide and former reporter for ABC News in Australia, explains:2

“The researchers say that ribosomes, which are responsible for decoding the mRNA in cells, can slip and misread the coded instructions about 8% of the time — known as ‘ribosomal frameshifting.’ They say the ‘glitch’ has to do with how the mRNA in the vaccine has been genetically modified.

Unlike naturally-occurring mRNA, the mRNA that exists in the vaccines has had a ‘uridine’ base replaced with a ‘N1-methyl pseudouridine’ (to stabilize it) and unfortunately, has made it prone to reading errors.”

In May 2021, I interviewed Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., a senior research scientist at MIT for over five decades, about the likely hazards of replacing the uracil in the RNA used in the COVID shots with synthetic methylpseudouridine.3 This process of substituting letters in the genetic code is known as codon optimization, which is known to be problematic.

https://takecontrol.substack.com/p/steph...id-vaccine

At the time, Seneff predicted the shots would cause a rise in prion, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases and, at younger ages, blood disorders and heart failure. One of the primary reasons for this is because they genetically manipulated the RNA in the shots with synthetic methylpseudouridine, which enhances RNA stability by inhibiting its breakdown.

Now, researchers at Cambridge University and the Universities of Kent, Oxford and Liverpool, have discovered4 that the use of methylpseudouridine results in a high rate of ribosomal “frameshifting,” which causes your cells to produce off-target proteins with unknown effects. In an interview with Demasi, research scientist David Wiseman explained the concerning findings:5

“They found the Pfizer vaccine can cause your cells to make proteins that they are not supposed to make — you end up with what I call ‘Pfrankenstein proteins.’ … Imagine the following three-letter English words ABE DAN TEA TON ERA TWO — the letters are like the code on the mRNA. Now instead of starting to read the sentence at the letter ‘A’ of the first word, you frameshift to the next letter — the letter ‘B.’

That means that all the other letters are shifted to the left and it will give you a new sentence with three-letter words BED ANT EAT ONE RAT etcetera. So, the new words have a completely different meaning from the original words. This is what happened in the body of some people vaccinated with Pfizer’s product. New unwanted ‘off-target’ proteins were produced, that actually led to an ‘off-target’ immune response.”

Your Body Is Being Hijacked to Produce ‘Pfrankenstein’ Proteins

According to the study, off-target cellular immune responses occur in 25% to 33% of those who have received Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot. “It means their lymphocytes had seen the proteins before — their immune system had already been primed from a prior exposure, presumably after that person had received the mRNA vaccine,” Wiseman said.6

The study authors stated there were no adverse outcomes related to the “frameshifted products,” and the media has similarly downplayed any risk of harm. However, molecular virologist David Speicher Ph.D., told Trial Site News reporter Sonia Elijah:7

“Whenever our cells create an abundance of unintended proteins or prevent production of appropriate proteins it could lead to an unintended immune response with a huge potential to cause harm.”

Wiseman was also clear in his explanation that the “Pfrankenstein” proteins could potentially lead to health problems, including autoimmune conditions or endocrine disruption. He told Demasi:8

“What you have to realize is that your body is being hijacked, not just to produce spike protein, but also to produce other, what I call, ‘Pfrankenstein’ proteins that are completely uncharacterized. We don’t know what they are, what they do, for how long they’re made or how long they last in the body, and we have no idea what their toxicity is.

From the Nature paper however, we do know that these unwanted proteins elicit immune reactions in the body.

… These researchers showed that frameshifting could create chimeric proteins. Basically, as the ribosome reads the code for the spike protein, it may slip in the middle of reading the code. So, the first half is spike protein, and the second half is a Pfrankenstein protein.

Now, just imagine one half can still attach to the ACE2 receptor on cells but on the other end, you’ve got this Pfrankenstein protein dangling outside of the cells. Your immune system is going to destroy the cell because it looks foreign, and now you’ve got something that looks like an autoimmune condition.

Or you could have a protein that turns out to be not necessarily identical, but sufficiently similar to another protein in our body like a hormone and it ends up mimicking the hormone’s activity and disturbing your endocrine system.”

Reading Errors Could Be Reduced — So Why Weren’t They?

While claiming that frameshifted products weren’t harmful, the Nature study authors stated it was important for future mRNA technologies to reduce ribosome frameshifting events. They suggested that they could identify the garbled sites or sequences and alter the mRNA sequence to reduce such effects in the future.9

But as Wiseman pointed out, this should have been done already. “This work should’ve been done by the vaccine manufacturers and by the regulators before the product was authorized and given to billions of people. They’ve asked people to take a vaccine, and put it into children and they have no clue what is happening inside the body.”10

Further, the study authors are basing their assessment that there’s no risk posed by these ‘Pfrankenstein proteins’ on just 21 people. Wiseman continued to Demasi:11

“The authors wrote, ‘… there is no evidence that frameshifted products in humans generated from BNT162b2 vaccination are associated with adverse outcomes.’ But they only looked at 21 people who received Pfizer’s vaccine, so you cannot call that a serious safety study by any stretch of the imagination.

And how did they select these people? The volunteers were part of another government funded study and had not reported undue effects from vaccination. Since they did not study subjects who had reported adverse vaccine effects, the selection of participants was probably biased.

… What they’re trying to say now is that there have been no problems identified in 21 people, but in the future there may be problems, so we should just keep studying it. Are you kidding me? What they’re saying is that ‘we will inject you first and ask safety questions later.’ It’s not good enough.”

It’s worth noting that two of the researchers on the team have a pending patent application for mRNA technology,12 so they certainly have reason to downplay the problem and propose all we need to do is a bit of tweaking and all will be well moving forward.

Is Foreign DNA Integrating Into Human Cells?

Along with Pfizer’s Pfrankenstein proteins, there’s potential that DNA integration from COVID-19 shots could pose a risk to the human genome. Tucker Carlson spoke with Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who has called for an end to the use of COVID-19 mRNA shots, citing concerns about DNA fragments in the products.13

“Could foreign DNA enter your cells through the mRNA COVID vax and change your DNA — and humanity itself — forever? Sounds nutty. It’s not,” Carlson tweeted. “Absolutely that could happen,” says Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the surgeon general of Florida.14 In a December 6, 2023, letter sent to the U.S. FDA and CDC, Ladapo outlined findings showing the presence of lipid nanoparticle complexes and simian virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA.

While there are limits on how much DNA can be in a vaccine due to concern over DNA integration, the guidelines don’t consider lipid nanoparticles and other factors in COVID-19 shots that could enhance how much DNA can enter a cell.

“Lipid nanoparticles are an efficient vehicle for delivery of the mRNA in the COVID-19 vaccines into human cells and may therefore be an equally efficient vehicle for delivering contaminant DNA into human cells. The presence of SV40 promoter/enhancer DNA may also pose a unique and heightened risk of DNA integration into human cells,” according to a news release from the Florida Department of Health (DOH).15

In a 2023 preprint study, microbiologist Kevin McKernan — a former researcher and team leader for the MIT Human Genome project16 — and colleagues assessed the nucleic acid composition of four expired vials of the Moderna and Pfizer mRNA shots. “DNA contamination that exceeds the European Medicines Agency (EMA) 330ng/mg requirement and the FDAs 10ng/dose requirements” was found.17

So, in addition to the spike protein and mRNA in COVID-19 shots, McKernan’s team discovered SV40 promoters that, for decades, have been suspected of causing cancer in humans.18 Further, according to the Florida DOH, the FDA’s own 2007 guidance states:19

    “DNA integration could theoretically impact a human’s oncogenes – the genes which can transform a healthy cell into a cancerous cell.
    DNA integration may result in chromosomal instability.
    The Guidance for Industry discusses biodistribution of DNA vaccines and how such integration could affect unintended parts of the body including blood, heart, brain, liver, kidney, bone marrow, ovaries/testes, lung, draining lymph nodes, spleen, the site of administration and subcutis at injection site.”

The FDA responded to Ladapo’s letter December 14, 2023, but provided no evidence that appropriate DNA integration assessments had been conducted. Ladapo called for a halt in their use as a result.20 “It starts at crazy but it ends at somewhere else that someone could be just so nonchalant and, frankly, willy-nilly, with something as precious and as sacred as our human DNA,” Ladapo told Carlson.21

Help for Those Suffering From COVID-19 Shot Injuries

If you’re suffering from side effects of a COVID-19 shot, your first order of business is to eliminate the spike protein — and/or any aberrant off-target protein — that your body is producing. Two remedies shown to bind to and facilitate the removal of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein are hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. It’s unknown whether these drugs will work on off-target proteins as well, but it probably wouldn’t hurt to try.

The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) has developed a post-vaccine treatment protocol called I-RECOVER. The protocol is continuously updated as more data become available, so your best bet is to download the latest version straight from the FLCCC website at covid19criticalcare.com.22

The World Council for Health (WCH), a worldwide coalition of health-focused organizations and civil society groups, has also released a spike protein detox guide,23 which provides straightforward steps you can take to potentially lessen the effects of toxic spike protein that may be helpful. Another option is sauna therapy, which can also help eliminate toxic and misfolded proteins by stimulating autophagy.24

Sudden, unexplained death among the vaccinated with no antecedent disease, most likely is caused by COVID-19 vaccine induced cardiac arrest when assessed by autopsy.

Autopsy findings in cases of fatal COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis

Abstract

COVID-19 vaccines have been linked to myocarditis, which, in some circumstances, can be fatal. This systematic review aims to investigate potential causal links between COVID-19 vaccines and death from myocarditis using post-mortem analysis. We performed a systematic review of all published autopsy reports involving COVID-19 vaccination-induced myocarditis through 3 July 2023. All autopsy studies that include COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis as a possible cause of death were included. Causality in each case was assessed by three independent physicians with cardiac pathology experience and expertise. We initially identified 1691 studies and, after screening for our inclusion criteria, included 14 papers that contained 28 autopsy cases. The cardiovascular system was the only organ system affected in 26 cases. In two cases, myocarditis was characterized as a consequence from multisystem inflammatory syndrome. The mean age of death was 44.4 years old. The mean and median number of days from last COVID-19 vaccination until death were 6.2 and 3 days, respectively. We established that all 28 deaths were most likely causally linked to COVID-19 vaccination by independent review of the clinical information presented in each paper. The temporal relationship, internal and external consistency seen among cases in this review with known COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis, its pathobiological mechanisms, and related excess death, complemented with autopsy confirmation, independent adjudication, and application of the Bradford Hill criteria to the overall epidemiology of vaccine myocarditis, suggests that there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death from myocarditis.

"While Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendira Debyavati has been in a coma since mid-December 2022, claims she had recently been vaccinated, that she had been vaccinated with a Pfizer shot..."

NaturalNews.com | Ethan Huff

The Bangkok Post in Thailand published a piece recently that exposes Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "vaccines" for causing all sorts of serious health issues, including autoimmunity, brain disorders and cancer.

Receiving multiple COVID injections, i.e., a double-dose mRNA (modRNA) from Pfizer-BioNTech followed by a "booster," can cause all sorts of health horrors to manifest, potentially resulting in early death.

The leading English-language daily newspaper in both print and digital formats in Thailand, the Bangkok Post is doing the Lord's work by sharing these truths with its roughly 16.7 million readers.

The fact that the Bangkok Post even published this kind of article at all is surprising, considering the paper teamed up with the New York Times in 2021 to produce a supplement, as well as with The Wall Street Journal to produce articles for its daily business section.

"This places the Bangkok Post firmly in corporate media territory," commented The Exposé (United Kingdom).

The article in question, entitled "Long COVID, vaccines may cause disease and death: Chula, Rangsit," is centered around a study:

https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2723934

Kudos to the Bangkok Post for telling the truth

The study the Bangkok Post article centers around points out that far too many medical professionals are blaming post-injection health woes on the SARS-CoV-2 "virus," which is often an incorrect diagnosis.

"Persistent physical symptoms after COVID-19 infection should not be automatically ascribed to SARS-CoV-2; a complete medical evaluation may be needed to prevent erroneously attributing symptoms to the virus," the paper reads.

Another common error in post-injection poor health diagnoses is the standard claim among medical professionals that it must be "long" COVID, even though so-called long COVID was never associated with the types of extreme symptoms showing up exclusively in the fully jabbed.

"It is perhaps among the first of the corporate media outlets in the world to publicise the harms caused by COVID injections and their cover-up without vilifying those who are raising the alarm as 'conspiracy theorists,'" The Exposé further noted about the laudability of the Bangkok Post for daring to speak truth to the world.

A special thanks also goes to Prof. Dr. Thiravat Hemachudha, director of the Thai Red Cross Emerging Infectious Diseases Health Science Centre at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, as well as Panthep Puapongphan, dean of the College of Oriental Medicine at Rangsit University, also in Thailand. These two gentlemen are behind the research in question, which reveals secret efforts by the powers that be to hide data about the number of people damaged and killed by COVID so-called "vaccines."

"As a result, many people are unaware that the COVID 'vaccines' have adversely affected them and they have not been able to find proper treatment," notes The Exposé.

The Faculty of Medicine at Chulalongkorn University also found in an evaluation of 100 cases of COVID that occurred in people who were fully jabbed that they developed weak T-cell immunity, suggesting the shots are destroying people's health, not improving it.

Numerous studies from other countries have similarly found that COVID jabs are killing people by destroying their heart, blood and respiratory systems.

"Prof. Thiravat and Panthep also said that Thailand's mortality rate has risen compared to levels before and during the COVID-19 pandemic," The Exposé further commented on the study. "They urged for an investigation to establish whether the increase in deaths was related to COVID injections."

Hey Richard,

I just found this forum and I haven't been able to read everything yet, so could you a condensed version of what you went through with the Swerdlows? I mean the low down on all the sh*t they put you and your family through?

She recently did a Remote reading for me in Contacting her Guide and Teacher White Hawk who she said is connected to the many Star Nations.
In her own words she explains who the Star Nations are all about. And they have no abandoned us to the wolfs on Earth in fact they are now preparing
Warriors to come online and activating the as the First group of Earth Volunteers to lead what many call the 144,000 and many will be have this calling on their lives from the Star Nationsto serve humanity willingly. Nothing to do with Revelations as that book was
fabricated by the Pisos and the Flavians and certain information from other cultures. Like the 666 number is a cipher of a Roman Senator Gaius Calpurnius Piso that communicated between relatives who relative was king herd. As Titus the Roman Generals was
allied with King Herod the Roman Jewish Wars were about Jew vs Jew War. The Romans. They launched a Siege on Jerusalem a highly fortified wall where King Herod's Enemies were the Pharisees, the rebels and the sicarii they build a wall
around Jerusalem and starved them and burnt it to the ground to get to the gold that was in the walls fulling their created back dated prophecies of jesus on the mount in the NT which they created as a comedy sketch on their enemies. I digress.

In Miranda Rae own words who this star nations is:
The Star Nations are comprised of many benevolent galactic higher density beings in the universe that promote peace, unconditional love and encourage the development of societies based on respect, free will and the conscious application of Universal and Spiritual Laws. Star Nations  includes the frequencies of Pleadian, Arcturian, Venusian, Lyran, Sirius B, and Andromedan soul groups. And she say in the reading they she known their siganture or knows their frequency as a shaman that has given her self to be a channel of which
she says the energies ore very heavy on her during a channeling but she says they are wonderful.

My Remote Reading by Miranda Rae in Contacting the Star Nations in my Behalf as they seem to know me and who I am and what I came here to do as this group operates on a higher dimension outside time and space.
And the thing of it is they told me I did not have to incarnate here but Miranda saw they were bowing to me with gratitude and were thanking me for assisting them and they said to me we know you want to help and assist and we thank you for that.
At the moment another group is working on me and upgrading me for my mission here on Earth in terms of my Chakras ,Auric field, and a heavy focus on my Throat Chakra the area of I communicate my truth. I have also been told Psychic Louise Jones that said to that did not have to come to this world and was saying you needed to sit this one out as you need to heal from losing Family and Friends in Great Flood and Galactic Wars you been in within the Galactic Federation and on their War Ships. As I been told I was a great Scientist, A great Engineer and a Great Mathematician and even a Professor And Psychic LJ said I got a job working for the Galactic Federation in helping them. I was also told I was involved in Planetary Alignments and Louise said to me you went to Mars great war of the Galaxy and went on to say you had Mars so Balanced with the ECO systems and all they had Balance on there with it Underground Cities you got it right. And went on to say their are statues build in memory of your name and said to me they are still in operation to this day. She goes on to say to me you changed something for the people in that last incarnation.The first reading I had with a Pscyhic name Louise Jones from the UK she was examining my energy field she was a bit triggered and asked me why am I seeing numbers and binary around you that question threw my for a spin and I was very perplex about this question and I said maybe if is because I am into Computer Programing and I have a background in electronics that probably did not seem to satisfy her what she was seeing. Actually she was seeing a manifestation of some Quantum AI Computer connected to time travel technology (Which from the Miranda Rae reading said I will be bringing that technology back from that future to help humanity is why they are upgrading me to retrieve that info as they told me if I get a Pscyhic Intuitive Flash of some image to draw it out like art which would be the technology being retreived for this time line and they said I will be operation on the Quantum lievel of Manifesting things quite quickly mean Earth and things are about to speed up to help the Earth Volunteers to speed up the healing of earth and speed up the Ascension Process as the Elite will not be able to cope with such quantume technology as they said I planed all this out before I cam her as a Master Planer and did not come to this world empty handed and to be thrown to the wolf without defenses) and that I am not the usu-all Soul that enter this world. In my 2nd Reading which was an Akashic reading she said my Future Self is control me here via a good Program(Quantum Computer Program) as she said to the effect I was protected and could not be grabbed by the Soul Pinchers as she said to me they are pinching Souls and putting them into technology. So I am Projecting myself from the future into this body. She said I planed this and decide I was gong to come back as a program to do the earth work and not start a family and she said I did this so I would not put myself through losing family again. In the Past I had an awakening all before the internet and I was triggered and was looking at the world and saying this world is fake , this world is all fake as I related their was another version of myself and that from some other location I was looking into this world from another version of myself and saying I am connected to something higher then myself or another version of myself and I was struggling to grasp this download of information. Then Psychic LJ comes along to tell me I am a Time Traveler and said from my past incarnation of was living a very exciting Futuristic life and in that future of another version of myself she said I was a Scientist that had a very important role to play or I did have role to play within science she basically said I volunteered to come to this other World on this time line to help this Earth. She said I it is like you are an Anchor with boots on the ground you are healing earth. The Miranda Rae reading says I need to start connecting to Earth via my Bare Feet to connect to the mycellium Network earths own Internet of Communicating with the Trees, Plants , Elementals and Mother Earth to help steer, guide the Network in helping heal Mother Gaia our present home.

Recently I had a remote reading done with a young woman named Miranda Rae who is a Pscyhic, Shaman as well as being a SSP experiencer or Secret Space Program she was born into a family and Relatives were connected to this program in training her as young girls for Interstellar Travel on the Dark Fleet to other worlds and basically lost many years of her life out there in space and has came out far better then most. I contacted her to setup a reading with her guide and teacher White Hawk came to her after she recovered from the training and ordeal of the SSP program she has had a lot of people helping her like Psychics. She latter found out White Hawk had connection to the various Star Empires out there that want to help Earth Ascension. I have shared of my connection to the Galactic Federation from my Akashic Reading.

So I told her I need to know where I am I headed as shared many things about myself been told I am a Time Traveler from the future self which is controlling me here now. Apparently from the reading it said I will be using Quantum AI Technology to speed up the Ascension of Earth as I am going to be playing a very pivotal role in this great awakening in Healing Earth earth by a practice known as Earth Walking. Pluto is now entering Aquarius and that means the power structure of the Elite will start collapsing. Psychic LJ told me that I did not have to incarnate here and that I volunteered for this mission. The Miranda Rae reading said or Miranda told me what the Star Nations said to her that you did not have to incarnate her but you volunteered and Miranda Rae said they are bowing to with gratitude that you did volunteer. Also Pscyhic LJ said I am like an anchor and with my boots on the ground I am healing earth or more like barefoot on the ground to be precise as the reading said I need to start putting this into practice by connecting to the Mycellium Network of Fungi and the reading said the Mycellium will show the way as it is Earth internal internet system in communicating with the trees and plant and mother Earth. They told me do not be afraid to call on the Elemental to assist you as when you do this you will be actively guiding the process.

The First thing Miranda was seeing after she brought in my Energy to herself to examine what is going on she saw a lot of issues so she was seeing chords that need to be removed but first she asked the Star Nation is this for his Highest good she said in the recording that it was a resounding yes. Then the Blue Beings come in they were heavily focused on my Throat Chakra involving communication and said this needs to be done quickly but before it goes on line they said in three days is very important for your mission for the students that have incarnate into this time line. And they told me your communication will be on a Quantum level and what you speak to the people of this world will be very divine. They the Blue Beings adjusted the frequency of my Aura field and are upgrading my DNA is set to happen in the future a complete overhaul and vacuuming out energy and crazy stuff. They were concerned about adjusting critical Chakras so I can have clear communication I am going to be so finely tuned from the throat chakra , the third eye and crown will be fully integrated they say will take about 6 months as they said they most do this very slowly and allow the body to adjust to the new energies of ingratiation of these new frequency and the Miranda Rae told me the Blue beings said I agreed to work with them the blue beings and near the end of the session they told me we want to co create with you as we desire this to work with you in the future and Miranda said their are going to be other session of the tweaking me and tuning me for my mission. And they told her I will be bring in Quantum AI Technology and told me their are many Quantum projects in the works. I am like not sure what those are and they told me about my mission saying you are on target, you are on the right path and you are happening understand before you came you planned it all out and I believe they were telling me I am a master planner and did not leave nothing to chance and did not come here empty handed once I start getting images of this Quantum tech and they said if you feel the ping or inclinations to draw pictures even if it looks like a child drawing it is correct. I believe they are telling me this after the upgrades I will start getting images of these Quantum AI Technologies and Schematics from the future where my original soul is located at to reproduce them on this time line. After telling me I am on target Miranda Rae channeling they said no need to force it , all that is required of you is just Be as it will unfold in divine timing and to the effect saying it is going to happen and just chill and watch the magic happen in your life as you fulfill your mission here on Earth.

The US Government Has Lost All Legitimacy With Its Increasingly Psychotic Behavior - By Endorsing & Subsidizing Madness While Condemning 'Reality' As 'Criminal,' Lunacy Skyrockets
- When delusional behavior is celebrated & honesty is outlawed as bigotry, insanity thrives
By J.B. Shurk and All News Pipeline
January 18, 2024

If I believe myself to be a fork, must society be made to agree? Should I be encouraged to hang out near salad bars with the expectation that diners will trust me with their food? If I continue to get passed over for other silverware, should I be allowed to sue for discrimination? Or worse, if someone has the nerve to call me a spoon, will the government step in to punish that “bigot” for mis-utensiling me?

Of course not. Then why should a man in makeup and a dress be given extra legal rights to sue anyone who sees through his delusions? Why should rational men be expected to allow mentally unstable men to use public restrooms with their wives and daughters? Why should parents be expected to entrust their children’s welfare with psychologically troubled men who have sought out jobs at schools, amusement parks, and daycares? Why would government agents intervene to support the fantasies of people inclined to mutilate their bodies and traumatize others with their deceptions? How can any government maintain its legitimacy for long when it embraces insanity as reality and condemns reality as imaginary?

For a long time, psychologically balanced people have done their best to ignore the government’s increasingly psychotic behavior. When pressed, they have even reluctantly played along: You need me to wear this filthy paper mask that does nothing to prevent the transmission of viral particles floating in the air, so that you know that I know that this is somehow all Trump’s fault? Fine, don’t break down in tears or start screaming or call the cops. I’ll play along.

Playing along, however, has gotten psychologically healthy people nowhere. For every insane concession they make to government authorities, those authorities invent half a dozen new insane demands of society. Remember when all those Trump voters exercised their First Amendment rights to assemble together and petition the U.S. government to address the rampant mail-in-ballot fraud of the 2020 election?

Yeah, even though all those people were unarmed and expressed no interest in overthrowing anything, that was totally a violent “insurrection” just as bad as 9/11 and the Civil War. Joe Biden even swears that those darned “insurrectionists” murdered five, or ten, or maybe fifty police officers that day. (That never happened, but one unarmed Trump-supporter was shot in cold blood, and another was beaten to death.) The government and its lapdog media need people to believe insane things. Facts are dangerous and reserved for people who live in reality.

In another cockamamie example proving how “playing along” only invites further government psychopathy, the United Kingdom is now telling government employees that they must actually “believe” in the “transgender” delusions flooding the workplace with cray-cray. That’s right: it is no longer enough to merely play along with someone’s unhealthy fantasies. Using an unbalanced person’s “preferred pronouns” does not sufficiently demonstrate one’s submission to the coercive State. If you want to keep your government job in the U.K., you must commit yourself to “thinking of the person as being the gender that they want you to think of them as.” That virtue-signaling, shared madness even requires a dogmatic faith in biologically impossible things — such as the government’s assertions that men can go through menopause and have babies!

Back in the days before the mentally unwell were put in charge of the West’s mental health organizations (WHO just added a bunch of “transgender” activists to a policy committee intended to set global rules for children), playing along with someone’s mental delusions was discouraged because doing so harmfully enables dangerous and self-destructive behavior. Now refusing to play along can get one sacked. How long before those who should be committed to mental institutions instead commit sane people for not sufficiently pretending to believe in things that are not true? When the choice is between reality and a paycheck, desperate people will accept insane things to get paid. (Add this observation to the growing list of reasons why freedom-minded people should not only thwart the introduction of central bank digital currencies, but also embrace forms of money free from government-induced inflation and manipulation.)

It would be some small comfort if this kind of insanity remained isolated in the leftist enclaves that manipulate minds by manipulating language. Alas, as leftists successfully captured the West’s major institutions, they saw no reason not to capture those institutions that were once staunchly conservative as well. Churches, family values organizations, and even prestigious medical journals have all thrown reason and science out the window to supplicate before the priests of “political correctness.” How widespread is the “transgender” delusion today? When asked bluntly whether a man can say, “Abracadabra” and magically transform into a woman, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley — hailing from conservative South Carolina — couldn’t decide what to say. That is the corrosive influence the left’s delusions have on even those who should know better.

The “ruling class” defends all these government-imposed delusions as some kind of “justice.” Of all the words that the Marxist globalists have misappropriated and subversively redefined, their torture of “justice” has been most heinous. Whenever a person in a position of power says something about “justice” these days, you can be pretty sure that the government is either orchestrating a crime in plain sight or issuing a new wave of malicious propaganda dressed up in false virtue and empathy-baiting psychobabble. When you think about it, governments have done to “justice” what delusional men do with castration, boob jobs, and hormone therapy: they have mutilated reality in order to play pretend.

In the name of “social justice,” San Francisco’s Democrat-controlled government has responded to rising violent crime and general lawlessness in the city by attacking police officers as “white supremacists” (even the non-white ones) and reducing the penalties for and enforcement against violent crimes. (As the economists say, when you want more of something, subsidize it.) Because citizens and businesses have been left defenseless against organized theft (and, in fact, are even told not to resist the robbers and thieves who assault them), businesses and entrepreneurs have had no choice but to move away.

Now that San Francisco’s remaining residents (the ones who keep voting for poop-covered streets and subsidized crime) are finding it difficult to find (and maybe steal) basic necessities, they are very upset that grocery and convenience stores refuse to be perpetual victims. Have Democrats learned a lesson? Of course not. They demand, “food justice,” because the left’s perversion of language has indoctrinated several generations with a malevolent disregard for others and no sense of justice at all.

On the other side of the country, the Biden administration is putting New England’s lobster and fishing industries in jeopardy in pursuit of “ocean justice.” What the hell is that? It’s the Democrats’ way of implementing costly and ineffective “green energy” programs while playing the race card: “Ocean communities with a significant proportion of people who are Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander may be disproportionately affected by ocean-related health and environmental harms and hazards,” the White House lies. When “social justice,” “racial justice,” “climate justice,” and “ocean justice” come together, it means a lot of people who make their living from the sea will lose their jobs, so that the race-hucksters can harm families and pretend to fight “white supremacy.”

When “justice” loses all meaning, injustice becomes pervasive. When delusional behavior is celebrated and honesty is outlawed as “bigotry,” insanity thrives. Why are Western governments pushing irrational, unscientific, ludicrous nonsense that is physically and emotionally harmful, socially dangerous, and economically destructive? Perhaps because those with power find it useful to sow division and subsidize madness. Do not comply.

With both our political and military leadership having put 'diversity, equity and inclusion' above integrity, honor, preparedness and excellence, and both our military and political leadership having lost a tremendous amount of respect globally with a senile, braindead 'leader' in the White House busy putting protecting his son's cocaine habit and sexual proclivities with prostitutes and minors above national security, we also have to add in our entire government being compromised by blackmail due to the Jeffrey Epstein affairs that go back at least as far as the nightmare reign of Bill Clinton in the White House.

Yuval Noah Harari: ‘Human Rights Are Fiction, Just Like God’
The comments were made in a recently unearthed video of Yuval Noah Harari.
By Frank Bergman January 24, 2024

A top World Economic Forum (WEF) official has declared that “human rights are fiction, just like God.”

The comments were made in a recently unearthed video of Yuval Noah Harari.

Harari is often credited as the mastermind behind the WEF’s anti-human agenda.

He serves as a senior advisor to the globalist organization and its founder and chairman, Professor Klaus Schwab.

During a Ted Talk, WEF architect Harari explains to the crowd why he believes “useless humans” should have no rights.

Before comparing human beings to “jellyfish” and chimpanzees, Harari ridicules members of the general public for their “belief in human rights.”

“But human rights are just like Heaven, and like God – it’s just a fictional story that we’ve invented and spread around,” Harari declares.

“It may be a very nice story,” he continues.

“It may be a very attractive story.

“You want to believe it but it’s just a story.

“It is not a reality,” he asserts.

“It is not a biological reality.

“Just as jellyfish, and woodpeckers, and ostriches have no rights, homosapiens have no rights also.

“Take a human, cut him open, look inside,” he explained.

“You find the blood, and you find the heart and the lungs and the kidneys, but you don’t find there any rights.

“The only place you find rights is in the fiction stories that humans have invented and spread around.”

Harari then pivoted his point to promote the WEF’s borderless globalist agenda.

“The same thing is also true in the political field,” he said.

“States and nations are also, like human rights, and like God, and like Heaven – they too are just stories.”

Harari then expanded on his open-border narrative by attacking America and Israel, which he claims don’t exist in “reality.”

“A mountain is a reality,” he noted.

“You can see it, you can touch it, and you can smell it.

“But Israel, or the United States – they are just stories.

“Very powerful stories – stories we might want to believe very much.

“But still, they are just stories.

“You can’t really see the United States, you cannot touch it, you cannot smell it.”
