Mulholland DriveJe vais vous dire ce qui est vraiment drôle : le nouveau podcast « Making Sense » de Sam Harris avec le Dr Eric Topol, VIP de Scripps Research. Ces deux-là n’arrivent pas à comprendre pourquoi les gens en dehors de leur bulle de suffisance du sud de la Californie ont des réticences à se faire vacciner contre la Covid-19. C’est comme une maladie mentale pour eux – tous ces ignorants égoïstes, poussés par Trump, lécheurs de drapeaux au-delà de la Wokery, qui mettent en danger leurs homologues amoureux de la science dans les ruches de doctorants de la Nouvelle Normalité, tandis que ce King Kong des variants Covid (nom de code Delta) fait rage à travers les collines et les canyons sous Mulholland Drive. Quelle insolence ! Ces crétins ne peuvent-ils pas suivre des instructions simples (disponibles 24 heures sur 24 et 7 jours sur 7 sur CNN) ? Ok, voici pourquoi, Sam et Eric : parce que chaque institution de la vie américaine a gaspillé sa crédibilité au service d’un programme politique qui cherche à détruire tout ce qui était digne d’intérêt dans la société occidentale, y compris la libre pensée, la liberté d’expression, la libre recherche, la libre circulation, la vérité, la beauté et le droit de résister à la coercition officielle. La moitié du pays n’a pas confiance dans l’appareil de santé publique du gouvernement, dirigé par le – disons – glissant Dr Anthony Fauci. Doivent-ils croire NPR ? Le New York Times ? CBS-News ? Doivent-ils suivre chaque mouvement de la pomme d’Adam de Rachel Maddow ? Doivent-ils avaler chaque globule de merde de cheval évidente servie par Jen Psaki ?Hé Sam et Eric, avez-vous suivi ce qui s’est passé au Département de la Justice et au FBI ces cinq dernières années, ces supposés redoutes de la rectitude ? Le canular de la « collusion russe » ? Les mensonges officiels aux tribunaux FISA ? Les poursuites judiciaires malveillantes ? Les activités séditieuses transparentes de l’agent de la CIA Eric Ciaramella et consorts ? La dissimulation de l’ordinateur portable de Hunter Biden, bourré de preuves ? L’engagement de Facebook, Twitter et Google dans la suppression des informations et la censure de l’opinion ? Pensez-vous que les gens vont croire que le « Joe Biden », qui hante les sous-sols, a gagné une élection grâce à ces minces victoires dans les circonscriptions de Philadelphie, d’Atlanta, de Milwaukee et de Detroit, contrôlées par les Wokistes et truffées de fraudes ? Ou que Merrick Garland et Christopher Wray ne mentiraient pas à ce sujet ?Pouvez-vous détecter quelque chose d’anormal dans le fait que ces agences fédérales d’application de la loi permettent à BLM et Antifa de détruire plus d’un milliard de dollars de petites entreprises et un tas d’infrastructures civiques à volonté, pendant des mois, tout en écrasant les intrus du Capitole que vous qualifiez d’« insurrectionnels » ? Pouvez-vous indiquer « la science » dans l’idée d’une heure de lecture par des Drag Queen dans les écoles ? Est-ce une bonne idée de promouvoir le racisme dans les écoles publiques ? Et d’apprendre aux recrues de l’armée américaine que leur nation ne vaut peut-être pas la peine d’être défendue ?Et maintenant, vous voulez convaincre la moitié du pays soumis à cette manipulation mentale tyrannique de recevoir un vaccin ARNm mal testé qui pourrait provoquer des caillots sanguins et des lésions organiques ? Contre une maladie apparemment fabriquée sous le parrainage de notre propre gouvernement ? Je dois vous dire, Sam et Eric, que vos attentes sont un peu décalées par rapport à la marche des événements. Cette moitié du pays qui n’est pas sous l’emprise de vos récits ne se soumettra pas à vos pouvoirs de raisonnement soi-disant supérieurs et à votre souci empathique et réconfortant de leur bien-être. Ils sont tout à fait convaincus, sur la base d’un tas de preuves et d’expériences vécues, qu’ils sont manipulés par un régime dégénéré qui ne sert pas du tout leurs intérêts… et qui leur ment de manière réflexe et incessante.De plus, ils veulent retrouver leur pays – un pays de liberté d’expression, de fair-play et de principes établis, comme le droit à un procès rapide. Et voici autre chose à considérer, Sam et Eric : si le régime que vous soutenez va plus loin, comme cela semble de plus en plus probable, et s’il s’apprête à rendre ces vaccins ARNm obligatoires, il va tirer la goupille qui déclenche une grenade nationale. Et lorsque cela se produira, vous et vos confédérés de Woke-Jacobin serez en fuite pour une fois, en vous inquiétant de votre propre annulation et de savoir si, peut-être, elle sera entendue équitablement. Vous avez le droit de l’espérer.Nous glissons vers ce terrible moment. Et vous feriez mieux de vous rappeler que cette querelle sur la Covid-19 n’est qu’une partie d’une image beaucoup plus grande de l’évolution du malheur national. Au-delà de cette simple escarmouche sur la santé publique, il y a une économie qui a sombré dans le racket uniforme, la mauvaise gestion honteuse des dépenses du gouvernement, le spectre d’une monnaie mourante, les dilemmes qui se développent pour notre approvisionnement alimentaire, la probabilité d’une explosion du marché qui fera tomber le système de retraite et détruira la richesse théorique de millions de personnes, et l’antagonisme croissant des politiques étrangères qui s’indignent de notre pouvoir mal utilisé contre le monde et sentent notre faiblesse croissante. Peut-être devriez-vous vous réveiller à ce sujet ?James Howard KunstlerPour lui, les choses sont claires, le monde actuel se termine et un nouveau arrive. Il ne dépend que de nous de le construire ou de le subir mais il faut d’abord faire notre deuil de ces pensées magiques qui font monter les statistiques jusqu’au ciel.

Le Rainbow Warrior III, le plus récent navire de l’organisation de protection de l’environnement Greenpeace, est accompagné de militants de Greenpeace dans des canots pneumatiques lors de son arrivée au port le 20 octobre 2011 à Hambourg, en Allemagne. Le Rainbow Warrior III, long de 53 mètres, conçu par Greenpeace et construit en Pologne et en Allemagne, est un projet de 23 millions d’euros achevé la semaine dernière.

Les membres du G7 tentent régulièrement d’imposer leurs règles et normes aux autres pays, règles et normes qui limitent la souveraineté et empiètent sur les intérêts nationaux. Les sociétés transnationales sont également impliquées dans ce jeu géopolitique. Les milliardaires, de Bill Gates à George Soros, utilisent l’environnement à leur profit, en développant des stratégies à long terme aux niveaux national, régional et mondial.

Un certain nombre d’organisations internationales qui prétendent avoir de hautes aspirations morales sont en réalité mêlées à des scandales sordides liés aux milieux politiques et économiques occidentaux.

Le 19 septembre 2013, par exemple, Greenpeace a mis en scène un incident contre la Russie lorsque des militants ont tenté d’attaquer délibérément la plateforme pétrolière russe Prirazlomnaya, propriété de Gazprom, à l’aide du navire Arctic Sunrise. Plusieurs personnes ont tenté de grimper sur la plate-forme, dont deux sont tombées à l’eau et ont été secourues par un bateau de patrouille frontalière avant d’être arrêtées par les gardes-frontières russes.

Il est évident que cette action avait un objectif géopolitique clair lié aux intérêts de la Russie dans l’Arctique et à la création d’une image négative de la Russie dans la société occidentale.

L’Arctic Sunrise battait pavillon néerlandais et la BBC, citant Greenpeace, a indiqué que des ressortissants de 18 pays se trouvaient à bord : Argentine, Australie, Brésil, Canada, Danemark, États-Unis, Royaume-Uni, Pays-Bas, Nouvelle-Zélande, Ukraine, Russie, France, Italie, Turquie, Finlande, Suisse, Pologne et Suède. L’intention des organisateurs de créer un scandale international est donc évidente.

L’incident a eu lieu à la veille du sommet de l’Arctique à Salekhard, et le président russe Vladimir Poutine a dû s’exprimer à ce sujet.

Il est bien connu que certaines sociétés transnationales utilisent Greenpeace comme un outil pour atteindre certains objectifs politiques. Il a été noté plus d’une fois que de nombreuses actions de l’organisation ont, pour une raison ou une autre, été dirigées contre certaines entreprises, tandis que leurs concurrents ont tranquillement récolté les bénéfices. Cela est dû aux dons généreux des parties intéressées : elles paient pour que leurs concurrents soient éliminés sous un prétexte « environnemental ». Dans le même temps, de nombreuses catastrophes humanitaires, comme l’utilisation par l’OTAN de munitions à l’uranium appauvri lors du bombardement de la Serbie en 1999, ont tout simplement été ignorées par Greenpeace. Pourtant, Greenpeace tente traditionnellement de s’attaquer aux problèmes globaux. L’air pur de la planète, les sources d’eau et d’autres problèmes sont toujours à l’ordre du jour des écologistes politiques, car ils justifient l’ingérence dans les affaires intérieures d’autres États.

Dans cette optique, il ne peut être question d’une quelconque morale ou valeur prétendument défendue par l’organisation. L’éthique de travail de Greenpeace se caractérise par un principe de base : la fin justifie les moyens. Greenpeace a souvent été prise et poursuivie pour avoir fabriqué des preuves alléguant des dommages environnementaux. Les épisodes suivants en sont de bons exemples :

  • torturer délibérément des phoques devant une caméra en 1979 ;
  • payer des pêcheurs d’Afrique de l’Ouest pour qu’ils attrapent du poisson contaminé ;
  • l’embauche d’adolescents pour arracher le fœtus d’un kangourou en gestation pour le film Goodbye, Joy de 1986 de Greenpeace ;
  • présenter un sable propre comme contaminé par la radioactivité en 1996 ; et
  • payer 5 dollars chacun à des adolescents de Seattle pour qu’ils protestent devant les caméras contre la vente de poisson islandais en 1999.

Greta Thunberg

Le cofondateur de Greenpeace, David McTaggart, a également été impliqué dans une fraude immobilière. Il a participé à la création de l’organisation elle-même, qui est née d’un petit groupe de militants dévoués. Greenpeace prend soin de cacher des faits comme ceux-là, bien sûr. Mais de nombreux politiciens et militants libéraux du monde entier les aident à prêcher leurs nobles idéaux.

Le financement par George Soros de la militante écologiste Greta Thunberg est une preuve supplémentaire que des intérêts idéologiques et politiques se cachent derrière des « héros » artificiellement cultivés qui correspondent aux goûts d’une époque.

Début 2020, George Soros a annoncé qu’il allait faire don d’un milliard de dollars pour la création d’une université mondiale destinée à lutter contre les gouvernements autoritaires et le changement climatique. Il n’a pas eu à attendre longtemps. La même année, une organisation internationale appelée Open Society University Network a été lancée. Ce réseau mondial comprend environ 40 établissements d’enseignement et universités du monde entier, non seulement des États-Unis et d’Europe occidentale, mais aussi du Kirghizstan, de la Serbie, du Kenya, de Taïwan, du Myanmar, du Bangladesh, de la Colombie et du Liban. On peut probablement supposer que Soros tentera d’étendre ce réseau et, dans le même temps, d’exercer une influence sur divers gouvernements par le biais de ses affiliés existants. L’Open Society University Network forme des jeunes, mène des projets de recherche (huit au total) et s’engage dans des programmes de recherche. Il existe également des diplômes de doctorat spécialisés et des places par le biais de la Chatham House Academy du Royaume-Uni.

L’un des domaines d’intérêt de l’Open Society University Network est « l’engagement civique », qui se subdivise à son tour en trois composantes : l’engagement des étudiants, l’apprentissage engagé et l’engagement institutionnel, qui implique l’approfondissement des connexions internationales. Cette initiative stratégique vise clairement la création d’un « État » fantôme mondial – un réseau international d’activistes globalistes disposant de sa propre armée de jeunes manifestants de rue et de couches d’universitaires et de praticiens de la politique.

Autre fait à noter : Mikhaïl Gorbatchev, le fossoyeur de l’URSS, est le fondateur et le président de Green Cross International, créée en 1993 et qui, comme son nom l’indique, s’occupe de questions environnementales https://www.gcint.org. Son siège est situé à Genève. Depuis 2019, Diane Meyer Simon, une Américaine qui était auparavant à la tête de Global Green USA, assure la présidence de l’organisation. Outre l’accès à l’eau et d’autres questions purement environnementales, l’organisation s’occupe du désarmement, de la non-prolifération des armes et du contrôle des matières nucléaires et chimiques. Le département d’État américain n’y est pas étranger et, sous diverses formes, il tente d’établir des monopoles dans les technologies à double usage [civil et militaire, NdT] et la production d’armes.

Les activités coordonnées d’organisations comme celles-ci et de l’élite globaliste pourraient conduire à un nouveau modèle de révolutions de couleur. Alors que la couleur des coups d’État organisés était autrefois choisie en fonction du symbolisme politique des partis qui prenaient le pouvoir en travaillant pour les États-Unis, la zombification « environnementale » par le biais de programmes d’éducation, de subventions et de manipulation des médias pourrait bientôt créer un certain récit « vert ».

(LifeSiteNews) — Sister Deirdre “Dede” Byrne, a member of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts order in Washington, D.C., told listeners not to be afraid and to hold onto religious freedom and common sense. 

At the “Stop the Shot” Conference hosted by the Truth for Health Foundation and live-streamed by LifeSiteNews on August 4, Sister Dede spoke about early treatments for COVID-19 and the unprecedented restrictions and mandates seen over the past year and a half, saying “we have lost all common sense and as a result we are losing our religious freedom.”

In a “heart to heart” with listeners, Sister Dede, a board-certified family physician and general surgeon who received her M.D. at Georgetown University’s School of Medicine and served in the U.S. Army Medical Corps and as a missionary surgeon, said she has personally treated more than 150 patients with COVID-19 since last year.

The nun, who gave a rousing pro-life speech at the Republican National Convention last year, said in spite of the ongoing push to mandate experimental COVID-19 shots developed or tested with the tissue of aborted children, early treatments using safe and effective drugs are sufficient to stave off serious illness from COVID-19.

According to Sister Dede, the COVID patients she has treated have “all done extremely well.”

She began her address speaking about the horrific terror attacks of September 11, 2001, noting that she was at Ground Zero providing care for the firefighters.

While she said she “witnessed firsthand man’s inhumanity to man,” she said she also “saw the beauty and kindness of many” as people reached out to give help and support in the wake of the attacks.

“People lived in fear” after the attacks, she said, but “humanity prevailed.”

Then last year, Sister Dede remarked, COVID-19 “invaded the home front.”

Unlike the outpouring of support and kindness Byrne witnessed after the September 11 attacks, however, the retired U.S. army colonel said “people are still living in fear” more than a year and a half after the first COVID-19 cases were reported on U.S. soil.

Rather than reaching out to help and provide support, she said, many Americans are accusing one another, judging one another for failing to wear masks or to take an experimental jab developed using aborted fetal tissue.

Sister Dede noted that the emergency COVID-19 injections were originally emphasized because “we were told there were no treatments.”

“As I delved more into it,” Sister Dede said she “realized that early treatment is actually very effective.”

As the pandemic has worn on, Sister Dede said she has become “deeply concerned” about why the experimental drug is increasingly being mandated, in spite of available and successful early treatment.

She noted that COVID-19 itself has an extremely low mortality rate, particularly among the young, and the long-term effects of the experimental COVID-19 shots are unknown.

“It makes no sense why little children need to cover their faces,” Sister Dede said, remarking on masking requirements for children as young as two years old, despite the fact that children are at extremely low risk from the virus.

Meanwhile, she observed that rates of anger, suicide, and depression have spiked among children and young adults.

Sister Dede concluded by citing Matthew 10:28, which says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Begging Catholics, Christians, family, friends, to understand the gravity of mandating these vaccines, she warned that in losing a common sense approach to treating illness, Americans are also “losing our religious freedom.

Wed Aug 4, 2021 – 1:39 pm EDT

(LifeSiteNews) – In May, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) arrested a Vatican-appointed Catholic bishop, Joseph Zhang Weizhu, along with seven priests and a number of seminarians in the Diocese of Xinxiang.

It was disturbing news, but not surprising. The genocidal Chinese Communist Party, which currently holds millions of Uyghurs in camps and ferociously oppresses devout Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims alike, has always been an enemy to the Church. And since the Vatican struck a deal with the Communist regime in 2018 – ostensibly to appease it for the sake of the Church in China – such attacks have only increased.

More alarming, in a way, was the fact that most Catholics in America never heard about the May arrests at all. Why not? Because the Western Church refused to mention it. I heard about it through my channels in the world of human rights advocacy. I did not hear any prominent members of the Church hierarchy speak a word of it.

Fast-forward to just last week, when we got one of those pieces of news that stirs the whole Catholic Church. Several Catholic friends texted me all at once. “Finally!” “Did you hear?” “Great news, Jason!”

Ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick had been charged with the sexual assault of a 16-year-old in the 1970s. You can read the outline of the story here. It’s heartbreaking what McCarrick did to the boy, now a man bravely standing up for himself and others like him.

Three long years after what Catholics call “The Summer of Shame,” when allegations against McCarrick first emerged, I’m not surprised that many are now feeling a sense of relief.

Justice, you might think, is finally being served. Perhaps the formal charge against McCarrick even represents a glimmer of hope that the Church can now begin to regain Her former glory in the eyes of the public. “Let’s get McCarrick’s day in court over with,” we might even be tempted to say, “so we can return to normal.”

But it’s that temptation that compelled me to write this piece. Because it’s a temptation that we have to resist. In fact, as much as we might long for an end to the whole ugly saga of “Uncle Ted” McCarrick, it’s actually important for us to hope and pray and advocate for the scandal to continue.

Let me explain.

McCarrick wasn’t just any cleric. He was Pope Francis’s American kingmaker, able to handpick trusted friends for positions of influence in the hierarchy of the Church. More to the point: he also played a role in brokering the now-infamous – but little understood – Vatican-China deal in 2018.

As the Catholic News Agency reported that year:

subscribe to our daily headlines US Canada Catholic

Over 20 years, Archbishop McCarrick traveled to China on at least eight occasions, sometimes staying in a state-controlled Beijing seminary, often serving as an unofficial bridge between the Vatican and Chinese government-appointed bishops until 2016.

Prior to allegations of sexual abuse and harassment becoming public this summer, the former cardinal had been an outspoken proponent of a deal between Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Church under Pope Francis, according to Chinese reports.

“I see a lot of things happening that would really open many doors because President Xi and his government are concerned about things that Pope Francis is concerned about,” McCarrick told The Global Times in an exclusive interview in Feb. 2016. The interview quoted McCarrick as saying that the similarities between Pope Francis and Xi Jinping could be “a special gift for the world.”

Which brings us back to the mass arrests in May. As I mentioned, we’ve seen a sharp rise in such incidents since the Vatican sealed its mysterious deal with China. So you would think that Catholic leaders living in America would speak out more adamantly than anyone.

But instead, our most influential clerics won’t say a word about it.

Bishop Robert Barron ignored the tragedy altogether. As I wrote at the time, instead of standing in solidarity with the persecuted Church, Barron created a happy birthday video for Bob Dylan.

Just a few weeks later in June, I attended the International Religious Freedom Summit in Washington, D.C. Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York was one of the speakers. In front of the Chinese Christian refugees and Uyghur escapees from CCP concentration camps who came to testify, Dolan made no mention of any of China’s crimes against religious freedom.

Why the silence? We don’t know for certain. But perhaps we know who does: McCarrick.

A Vatican-China gag order?

Are you starting to see what I mean when I say we must work to ensure that the McCarrick scandal “continues”?

In a way, McCarrick’s sex scandal, horrific in itself, might prove providential – if we have the will to take it by the horns.

After all, as an architect of the Vatican-China deal, McCarrick is not only responsible for the horrific rapes he himself allegedly committed. Nor should he merely be tried for covering up clerical sex crimes in the U.S. Think bigger.

The McCarrick scandal is an international scandal, involving a secret deal between the Vatican and America’s foremost adversary, China, which may include something very much like a gag order against public criticism of its abuses by American clergy. — Article continues below Petition — Petition 1 have signed the petition.Let’s get to 2500! Add your signature:   Show Petition Text Keep me updated via email on this petition and related issues.

Remember: McCarrick is a master coverup artist. After decades of serial sexual abuse, he had dozens, perhaps hundreds of fellow clerics keeping mum for him. How might such a man go about paving the way for a secret Vatican-China deal over the course of 20 years?

Even after the McCarrick sex scandal initially broke, the best many of McCarrick’s longtime confidantes and collaborators in the Catholic hierarchy could muster was a few mutterings about being shocked, while their eyes darted around the floor in front of them during TV interviews that looked more like damage control than any kind of reckoning with the scale of McCarrick and his network’s crimes.

We must ensure we get more out of the McCarrick scandal this time around.

Because what many thought of as a story about a dirty old man and his victims could turn out to be a story of genocide, of betrayal, and of treason.

TUCSON, AZ (LifeSiteNews) – An award-winning physician is determined to overcome censorship to provide accurate and potentially life-saving information on COVID-19 and mRNA shots.https://static.lifeserver.net/709b1e30a292a046243572436ad0600c/index.html?clickTag=https%3A%2F%2Fservedby.lifeserver.net%2Fcl.php%3Fbannerid%3D80860%26zoneid%3D8553%26sig%3D4bcafb9f345527403cd75f0470c90aee82fc0467853ff4baf47865aeddd6acf3%26oadest%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fbit.ly%252F3hm5Nxs

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet has rallied together a group of prominent medical and scientific experts, including Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Michael Yeadon, to offer the public resources to help safely and effectively treat COVID-19, as well as assess the risks of its experimental gene therapy.

In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, Vliet explained how her own clinical experience and medical research have shaped her understanding of COVID-19 and the mRNA jabs, and given her a burning desire to help the public with her insights.

Vliet shared that her background in internal medicine and climacteric medicine, which studies the effects of hormonal changes on the body during menopause, has informed her understanding of COVID-19 treatment, as well as the side effects of the so-called vaccines.

“The fundamental principle in internal medicine in treating a viral illness is you treat it early. And you use what you have available,” Vliet told LifeSiteNews.

When COVID-19 emerged, Vliet saw that “the longer people went without treatment, the more it moved into serious inflammation that was doing damage, and blood clots.”

“I was determined that my patients would not die on my watch, if I could do something to help them. And it made no sense that someone from Washington who doesn’t treat patients, was saying, ‘Go home and get sicker, and then go to the hospital’. No, no, that’s not how medicine works,” she continued.

“When have we ever, in the history of medicine in our lifetime, delayed treatment until someone is at end-stage illness? We don’t do it for cancer or heart disease or anything else.”

“Everybody’s primary care doctor always tells them, if you have the flu, you need to start antiviral Tamiflu, for example, within 48 hours of symptoms. It absolutely makes no sense to anyone that you would tell people to go home, get sicker, and come to the hospital when you are barely able to breathe.”

Vliet said that her research quickly uncovered a 2005 article “that Anthony Fauci’s own agency had published in their own journal of virology,” showing “that hydroxychloroquine [and] chloroquine were potent antivirals of then SARS COV-1.”

subscribe to our daily headlines US Canada Catholic

“I had already read that [the] SARS COV-2 that we were facing now shared about 78-79 percent of the same viral makeup. If it worked then, it’s probably going to work now. I had lots of patients taking hydroxychloroquine for other conditions,” said Vliet.

Vliet saw that her own patients did not experience any serious side effects with hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin. At the same time, she was learning of experimental mRNA jab side effects that she says she realized were more serious than was widely acknowledged.

The doctor explained that she began receiving information that the “COVID jabs” were “affecting the testicle [in men], and the ovary in women.” This is where her long-standing work in climacteric medicine which, she explained, looks “at how reproductive hormones affect every organ system in the body, not just fertility,” came into play.

“It was like a lightning bolt that hit me when I realized the enormity of that problem,” said Vliet.

“Because I saw immediately that if we had data to show the female ovaries were damaged by the spike protein that the mRNA vaccines tricked your body to make, and if male testicles were damaged by the spike protein, we didn’t just have a fertility problem, we had a long term health problem affecting all the other organ systems: the brain, the heart, the lungs, the bones, the muscles, the immune system, the gut,” she added.

“Everything in the body is regulated with the metabolic effects of these critical reproductive hormones.”

It was this, in part, that “led to the urgency of ramping up” the Truth For Health foundation again, said Vliet.

She not only saw negative effects from the COVID jabs in the research data, but in her own clinical experience, where she had to treat people with complications from the jab.

“It was clear very quickly that the risk of these Covid jabs were far exceeding what the public was being told. I was seeing it in my practice every day with people that had medical reasons [for being] at risk for adverse events, and they were pressured into getting [a vaccine], and now I’m treating the complications from the vaccine,” Vliet said.

“And the risk of the medicines I was using was miniscule. I didn’t have any serious effects with hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin. I didn’t have those problems with the patients for the treatment, but I sure was seeing it after people got this experimental jab,” she continued. — Article continues below Petition — PETITION: No to mandatory vaccination for the coronavirus 1052576 have signed the petition.Let’s get to 1100000! Add your signature:   Show Petition Text Keep me updated via email on this petition and related issues.

On top of that, Vliet said the “coordinated government-media-big tech collusion” is being dishonest about the actual effectiveness of the COVID jab in order to “drive people” to receive it.

“And the tragedy of it is that people are being totally lied to, when they are using the Delta variant as a reason to rush out to get the experimental COVID shot, because the COVID shots don’t protect against the Delta variant. And the Delta variant is the mildest of all of them. It’s like a bad cold.”

She said that the idea that as viruses become more transmissible, they become less deadly, is “basic virology 101.”

Vliet explained, “Viruses mutate and change to maintain survivability. Viruses can’t live on their own, they need to infect an organism that they can use to take over our cellular machinery to make more viruses. So viral mutation occurs towards making it spread to more hosts, but not to kill them, because if the viruses are killing the host, the viruses die too.”

“It’s sort of like, you got a boat to escape from a sinking ship. It doesn’t make sense to shoot a hole in the bottom of the boat. That principle has always been known in virology. And it makes sense. How else is the virus going to survive?”

Vliet lamented the fact that relatively few doctors are standing up to “the suppression of medical information,” and that even these doctors are being silenced.

“The media is suppressing the information, so even those of us who’ve been working hard to make educational videos, and to talk to groups, and to get it out on social media, if we’re deplatformed, then we’re prevented from reaching people. So it has been a devastating degree of damage to the public,” she said.

“That’s why the mission of this foundation is so important. And I will defend it totally because, in my core values, personally and as a physician, there is no greater responsibility that we are given than to stand for truth. Even if it costs us our life.”

When asked if there was any precedent to this suppression of medical information, Vliet said, “Never in my career, never ever has there been this degree of censorship across the board: medical boards, governors, media outlets, government agencies, health systems, hospitals, medical schools, research institutions.”

“Never has there been such a coordinated draconian attacking physicians who are simply trying to do their job to assess the patient, determine treatment to the best of their ability, use the tools at hand, that are FDA approved medicines, widely available, and used every day in medical practice. Never have we had anything like this. It is totally unprecedented.”

Not only are voices being silenced, but medical data is being covered up and misrepresented, said Vliet.

She addressed a study from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) that claimed that “although not directly comparable,” adverse pregnancy effects in women who received the Covid jabs were “similar to incidences” studied before the COVID-19 outbreak.

The study “actually had a conclusion that was not supported by the data in the article,” said Vliet. “Independent epidemiologists reviewed the data and showed that the data in the article did not support the conclusion that was stated verbally. So then, they didn’t retract the paper, they just removed the data tables so that no one could analyze it again. So that should tell you about the reliability of the NEJM article.”

Reasons for Censorship

When asked why she believes censorship and suppression of medical information is occurring, Vliet said, “I think there are multiple agendas at play. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to raise the question of what are they doing when they violate every common sense principle that has ever existed.”

“There are 3 things that tend to motivate decisions like this: Money, power, and control,” she continued.

“By the medical censorship they are consolidating control over the population, and they are consolidating money that’s made on medical care to go to hospitals and pharma companies and government agencies that have stakes in the patent royalties.”

“They are directing the money expenditures to healthcare to the highest cost settings, which are hospitals. So the hospitals are making a fortune with the high cost of taking care of people in the hospital. They’re benefiting, big time.”

Vliet also noted that it benefits pharmaceutical companies when “new experimental high cost medicines and vaccines and all these new expensive options” are being pushed “instead of  the low cost generic medicines that cost a few dollars.”

“And then we look at power. What have many of the governors done? They’ve consolidated their power.”

Vliet said that people have given up their usual “common sense” approach to life when confronted with COVID-19.  When it comes to other purchases, she said, such as “a car, a TV, or even groceries,” people are always asking questions about “what’s it’s going to do, how reliable is it, what does it cost, is there another option?”

“When you purchase medical services and medications, why wouldn’t you ask the same questions? Is it right for me, are there any risks I need to know about, is there a lower cost option?” Vliet wondered.

“And with regard to COVID, the answer to all of those is, there’s a lower risk option, there’s an option that costs less, and there’s an option that treats you early, that we have 65 years of knowing how it works in all ages of patients,” she stated.

“So people are blindly going into one of the largest experiments in human history, asking no questions, and that’s not what they do in any other aspects of their lives. So the common sense thing to me is, why wouldn’t you be asking these questions? And why wouldn’t we as doctors ask these questions? It’s irresponsible to ignore them.”

Those who want to support legal efforts to maintain their freedom of access to information can support Vliet’s organization with tax-deductible donations at Vliet’s Truth for Health Foundation website.

No donation is too small.

“Many small dollars become one big pot that we can use to defend these rights for everyone,” said Vliet. “It turns out this is probably the most urgently needed time for this foundation. Way more urgent than what we were envisioning when we first started it 14 years ago.”

ALBANY, New York, (LifeSiteNews) – On August 3, New York Attorney General Letitia James released a bombshell 156-page report on Gov. Andrew Cuomo, detailing a lengthy, independent investigation concluding that the Cuomo is guilty of serial sexual harassment. According to James, investigators had found that the governor “sexually harassed current and former New York State employees by engaging in unwelcome and non-consensual touching and making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created a hostile work environment for women” while retaliating against at least one accuser.

Cuomo struck back with a long report compiled by his attorney attempting to defend himself against each accusation, which bizarrely included a number of photos of other high-profile politicians hugging and touching people, including President Joe Biden, who called on Cuomo to resign in the wake of the report. New York State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has also called on Cuomo to resign. Mariann Wang, attorney for two of Cuomo’s alleged victims, scoffed at Cuomo’s attempts to justify his actions.

“He is being manipulative, as he always has been,” Wang stated. “He is not being accused of being a kindly but gentlemanly boss. And the women who experience his unwanted sexual touching are not fools, as he apparently thinks they are. He is found by independent investigators to have touched women in their intimate body parts and routinely demeaned the women who work with him by treating them as sexual objects. He touched a woman’s breast, another woman’s stomach and the back of her neck and spine, he grabbed multiple women’s backsides or buttocks. These are not charming expressions of affection. They were sexual. He knew that when he did it, and the women experienced this as unwanted sexual touching. He’s been found to have been doing this for years.”

In fact, the investigation—which included interviews with 179 people—concluded that Cuomo had broken both state and federal law, although it included no recommendations as to whether he should be prosecuted. The investigation had originally been triggered by accusations from nine women, and the governor himself gave eleven hours of testimony under oath. He is flatly denying the worst of the accusations, while insisting that the others are simply misread but harmless expressions of physical affection.

Cuomo has made it clear thus far that he will not resign and plans to fight the allegations with everything in his power. The scion of the powerful Democrat family doesn’t have any other choice if he wishes to preserve his career—to resign under these circumstances would be the death knell of his legacy, if he indeed has any legacy left. Many political watchers highlighted once again Cuomo’s decision to open long-term care homes to COVID-19 patients, resulting in the deaths of thousands of vulnerable elderly men and women. Cuomo’s administration had panicked in the wake of the skyrocketing death toll and had attempted to hide the numbers from the public. — Article continues below Petition — PETITION: Urge U.S. Bishops to publicly excommunicate Joe Biden (and other pro-abortion politicians) 28087 have signed the petition.Let’s get to 30000!

As conservative commentator Ben Shapiro scathingly put it: “Cuomo came to grab [butt] and kill the elderly and he’s all out of elderly.”

Cuomo has long been a feminist hero, consistently garnering the support of major “women’s rights” groups for his relentless abortion advocacy. It was Andrew Cuomo, after all, who legalized abortion up until birth in the state and lit up New York landmarks in pink to celebrate his expansion of feticide. In fact, Cuomo has fallen back on the longstanding Democrat deal with feminists in his defence, marshaling his work on these files as a defence. Unlike Clinton, he admits to nothing. Like Clinton, many feminists have remained quiet—even in the #MeToo era—rather than attack an ally in the abortion wars.

In fact, in response to this report, Brett Kavanaugh is again trending on Twitter and furious Democrats attempt a vigorous round of whataboutism in response to these allegations against their hero. Kavanaugh was never even placed by witnesses at the same party as his accuser; Cuomo is working overtime to explain how his alleged victims simply interpreted his words and actions incorrectly. But this indicates, once again, that much of sexual politics is all about abortion. Kavanaugh was sandbagged for (purportedly) being pro-life; Cuomo has gotten a pass for as long as he has for being pro-abortion.

In fact, Cuomo’s brother CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has also gotten a pass for helping the governor craft his public response to his accusers and urging him not to resign—the Washington Post reported that he told his mother to deny all accusations and labeled them an outbreak of “cancel culture.” CNN has decided that this is acceptable for one of their hosts, so it turns out that they believe all women unless the accused happens to be an ideological ally.

Cuomo has also attempted to portray these accusations as, in part, politically motivated attacks. But it is not Republicans who accused Cuomo; it is not Republicans who brought forward the complaints; it is a Democratic president who has called on Cuomo to resign. Cuomo is being called out and brought down by women who worked for him and supported him precisely because of his progressive credentials. Cuomo attempted to present himself as a uniquely powerful and effective Democrat. He turns out to be the same old Clintonian breed we’re all so familiar with.

LifeSiteNews has produced an extensive COVID-19 vaccines resources page. View it here. 

(LifeSiteNews) – Prominent medical doctor Roger Hodkinson issued a stark warning against the almost ubiquitous response of governments around the world to the coronavirus crisis, including the “profoundly unnecessary” lockdowns, masks, and vaccines, calling the results an “unprecedented horror show, the worst in medical history.” 

Hodkinson, who delivered his comments while addressing the Truth for Health Foundation’s “Stop the Shot” conference live-streamed by LifeSiteNews on August 4, earned his medical degrees from Cambridge University, served as president of the Alberta Society of Laboratory Physicians, and is now the CEO of Western Medical Assessments, an American biotechnology company involved in DNA sequencing.

Introducing himself as a “freedom-loving pathologist,” Hodkinson described his alarm at witnessing the widespread weaponization of the COVID-19 virus by politicians who seek to enact a kind of medical tyranny.

“I am viscerally outraged at how profoundly unnecessary this grotesque tragedy has been, yet somehow still continues,” the doctor lamented.

Hodkinson urged attendees of the conference to “believe nothing you are being told, it has all been a pack of lies from start to finish, pure propaganda.”

Hodkinson noted that COVID-19 “is nothing more than a bad seasonal flu and nothing was needed except good old common sense and early treatment with drugs known to be totally safe,” echoing the advice of many other prominent physicians, including the pioneer creator of early treatment for the virus utilizing hydroxychloroquine, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. 

Hodkinson noted that “more than anything, this is a pandemic of fear,” given the availability of treatment for COVID and the relative safety of most of the world’s population from being badly injured by the virus. Continuing, the physician explained that the “totally unnecessary fear” is “driven by two major factors: the notorious PCR test and the viciously effective silencing of any counter narrative.”

Regarding the PCR test, Hodkinson said that it “creates over 95 percent false positives in perfectly well people,” which “drives the graphs in the morning paper where these false positives are called ‘cases.’ They are no such thing! You are being lied to.” 

Addressing his second observation — that counter narratives are being purposely snuffed out —  Hodkinson described a widespread “silencing of truth from the three sources you would normally rely upon to form your own, independent judgement: politicians, the media, and physicians.”

Hodkinson homed in on medical doctors, whom he said “by their cowardly silence have decided to put income ahead of ethics, the ethics we physicians are supposed to hold dear,” namely to “first do no harm” and ensure “informed consent.”

Some of the doctors willing to abandon the medical principles set out by Hodkinson, he highlighted, became “the excuse for politicians and unelected bureaucrats to enforce ridiculous, arbitrary mandates that have no consensus for any effectiveness in the medical literature. None!”

“It’s just politicians playing medicine and that’s a very dangerous game,” he stressed.

“I’m talking here about masks, social distancing, travel bans, and lockdowns. They couldn’t work, haven’t worked, and will not work,” Hodkinson argued, instead suggesting that “nothing works except effective prophylaxis,” including “vitamin D and ivermectin.”

Speaking later on the politicians responsible for locking down their respective nations and regions, Hodkinson criticized their tactics as having “dressed themselves in the flag, demanding that only they can protect you from all of life’s risks.”

“It can’t be done,” Hodkinson advised. “I can tell you with categorical certainty, as a pathologist: death happens, life is risky. Get used to it, just like you did with past flu epidemics and every day when you drive your car.”

In fact, Hodkinson maintained that not only must governments accept that it is impossible to completely avoid medical risks but that they “must get used to the fact that modern medicine is totally impotent at controlling the spread of respiratory viruses.”

Instead, “we must simply accommodate to them in ways we have done most effectively with past flu epidemics, with liberal doses of the cheapest, most effective medicine there is,” a response he characterized as “common sense.”

In reference to the once-maligned evidence suggesting that COVID-19 escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Hodkinson underlined the involvement of Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to the President, particularly in gain-of-function research at the lab.

Nicknaming the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Disease (NIAID) director “Flip-flop Fauci,” Hodkinson noted that he “created COVID-19 when his gain-of-function research escaped from the lab in Wuhan.”

“You shouldn’t be forced to put your life on the line or your child’s life on the line by getting vaxxed just to solve the problem he created,” Hodkinson said, affirming the danger associated with the currently available experimental jabs against COVID-19. “That’s government tyranny and indescribably offensive.”

The physician concluded by urging viewers not to be unduly pressured or coerced into taking one of the “vaccines” currently associated with more than 11,000 deaths and almost 52,000 total injuries in the United States alone, according to records on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

OHIO (LifeSiteNews) — An  attorney stated today that over 45,000 people in the USA have died as a result of the experimental COVID-19 vaccines.

At the Stop the Shot Conference hosted by the Truth for Health Foundation and live-streamed by LifeSiteNews on August 4, Ohio-based attorney Thomas Renz dropped bombshell data suggesting that deaths associated with the COVID-19 shots have been greatly underreported while adverse events have been largely ignored.

Renz, the lead attorney in several major federal lawsuits addressing medical freedom in the wake of COVID-19 restrictions and mandates, cited a growing number of whistleblowers who have reported data indicating that the risks from the experimental COVID-19 shots currently being mandated are far higher than reported.

Renz noted that one expert whistleblower found based on data analysis that at least 45,000 deaths have been connected with the current experimental COVID-19 drugs.

The finding, which Renz says is likely itself a grave underestimation, forms the foundation of a federal lawsuit filed by Renz on behalf of America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

In addition, despite clinical trials which Renz says have found that children have a 1 in 1000 chance of paralysis from taking the injections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has chosen not to investigate the connection.

Meanwhile, Renz said the data indicates the shots are far more dangerous than they are helpful for young adults.

“If you are under 30, the vaccine has a substantially higher risk of killing you than saving you,” he said. — Article continues below Petition — PETITION: Say ‘No’ to COVID ‘Vaccine Passports’! 206868 have signed the petition.Let’s get to 225000! Add your signature:   Show Petition Text Keep me updated via email on this petition and related issues.

Moreover, Renz alleged that the 70% vaccination rate currently being reported for U.S. adults is inaccurate. Whistleblowers have charged that individuals who are already deceased have been counted among the “vaccinated,” falsely boosting the reported numbers, he said.

Several other whistleblowers have suggested, based on analysis, that roughly 40% of people with COVID-related illness have been “fully vaccinated,” indicating a high rate of so-called “breakthrough cases.”

In addition, a hospital worker told Renz that at several periods, all of the patients in the hospital’s ICU were “fully vaccinated” and had “breakthrough COVID.”

The attorney said that by giving their statements the vetted whistleblowers have risked a lot, including their jobs and their financial security, to oppose the prevailing narrative propounded by public health officials and the mainstream media.

But their warnings have been largely ignored and censored.

“The truth is being suppressed,” Renz stated.

The attorney said that people have been subject to “false, misleading information” from public health officials, politicians, and members of the media – information which Renz says is “designed to mislead people into taking a dangerous jab that has never been authorized and is probably illegal.”

He noted that doctors who speak out about the risks of the COVID-19 shots and promote safe and effective early treatments have been threatened, with some facing the loss of their medical licenses.

Renz added that public health officials have major conflicts of interest due to their connections with the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing the COVID-19 shots, and are making profits on the issue. Meanwhile, those opposed to the prevailing narrative “come forward at great personal risk.”

The attorney challenged U.S. politicians to reject the advice of unelected public health bureaucrats, saying they should instead release the “raw data” and allow independent analysis.

“I think you’ve been lied to egregiously,” Renz said, directing his comments to American civil leaders, including President Joe Biden. “If you will allow us, I will recruit top scientists to debate the facts with public health advisors privately.”

“We want to ensure the truth is out,” he continued.

“We’re not trying to mislead anyone. We’re trying to keep people safe.”

Renz said his legal action is intended to ensure that Americans know the full risks and benefits of COVID-19 vaccination so that “informed consent” can truly be given.

“I want independent research,” Renz said. “If they find we’re wrong, I’ll go away, I’ll drop my cases.”

But Renz added that if the data is released, independent analysis is permitted, and he and his colleagues are vindicated, millions of lives will be saved.

Biden – America’s Commodus?-Martin Armstrong

Biden – America’s Commodus?

Commodus (177-192AD), the notorious Roman emperor with whom history has drawn the line for the start of the decline & fall of the Roman Empire, issued this coin of which only two are known to have survived.  The reverse is supposed to symbolize prosperity moving forward, which reminds me of Biden. Here a Youthful Dionysos, nude but for a wreath around his head, seated upright to left, but with his head to the right, on a panther walking to right; Dionysos’ legs are on either side of the panther, he holds a thyrsos in his right hand and rests his left hand on the panther’s neck.

When Commodus was assassinated, the Praetorian Guards were so corrupt that they auctioned off the office of emperor to the highest bidder. That was Didus Julianus who managed to rule for less than five months before he was taken out.

The thyrsos is typically associated with the Greek god Dionysus, or his Roman counterpart Bacchus, and represents a symbol of prosperity, fertility, and hedonism. This reminds me of Biden trying to look youthful, also pretending that he is creating prosperity while sniffing your girls, and moving forward with strength sitting on the back of a panther. It didn’t work out well for Rome with Commodus, and Biden’s insane infrastructure bill is not something that will create prosperity but end up as the tipping point for the decline and fall.

Interestingly, there was a period of conservatism that also preceded Commodus, which included tax reductions. The curious aspect about history is that the very same patterns unfold over and over again, even in the same sequence. From the assassination of Commodus, the nation was plunged into a civil war that lasted for two years
