With ironic, “coincidental” timing, James O’Keefe from Project Veritas, has taken a paid leave right after exposing a Pfizer Exec who stated the company is exploring the continuing ‘gain of function’ research which they are euphemistically calling ‘directed evolution,’ which of course the company completely denies.
Supposedly, the board of Project Veritas is considering whether to remove O’Keefe from his leadership position, despite the fact he founded the company in 2010, making the man and the organization synonymous. Many believe it is a ‘coup’ attempt.
An internal message sent to Project Veritas employees by the organization’s executive director, Daniel Strack, said that O’Keefe would be taking “a few weeks of well-deserved PTO,” and later released a statement on behalf of the organization:
“Like all newsrooms at this stage, the Project Veritas Board of Directors and Management are constantly evaluating what the best path forward is for the organization,” the statement read in part. It did not directly address questions about O’Keefe’s employment status. “There are 65+ employees at Project Veritas dedicated to continuing the mission to expose corruption, dishonesty, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions,” the statement read. “To our supporters: We hear you, we care about you, and we will never give up.”
Supposedly 10 employees came forward with a complaint that O’Keefe is erratic, often angry, and a tough boss to work for. Let me just say that from experience, this describes about every boss in the news industry. There were no accusations of criminal behavior or harassment.Source
Project Veritas whistleblowers have come forward stating the accusations are unconscionable and frivolous, and that the intentional, hostile takeover needs to stood against by its supporters.
The 63 year old suffered two heart attacks back to back. Nothing has been said about his vaccination status, which very well may be a requirement for being employed at GB News, but it’s well known that the COVID gene therapy injections lead to increased heart issues.
Steyn also appears in the excellent documentary – Safe & Effective: A Second Opinion– an unflinching documentary that looks at leading analysis of pharmaceutical trials, the role of the MHRA in regulating these products, the role of the SAGE behavioral scientists in influencing policy and the role of the media and Big Tech companies in suppressing free and open debate on the subject. Ofcom investigated GB News after Steyn made “misleading” claims about the COVID boosters killing Britons. The channel has yet to be found in breach of the broadcasting code.
Steyn uploaded a resignation video on Monday, complaining that TV bosses wanted to make him financially liable for any fines imposed because of his show’s output.
Recently Dr. John Campbell discussed the importance of evidence in science, the corruption of the regulatory agencies, and the press, and states that excluding dissenting voices is ‘intellectual fascism.’ He has also tackled the issue of excess deaths since the COVID shot rollout, but states rather than investigating the issue, health officials and the media are ignoring them. Campbell also shared an article published in The BMJ analyzing the pharmaceutical companies’ financing of regulatory agencies in the U.S. and the U.K.
32% of the COVID-19 vaccine committee members in that agency declared they had financial conflicts of interest.
65% of FDA funding comes from the pharmaceutical industry.
So far mainstream media receives an F for their lack of transparency, extreme bias, and genuflecting to globalists. The few that are honest are being eliminated. One by one.

Russel Brand points out how Pfizer is having to up its game to keep the shots flowing since people are hearing about the danger and ineffectiveness of the clot shots. “Vaccine” manufacturers are being forced to be very specific and very savvy to keep up with all the studies being done which exposes their dangerous but lucrative products.
“Designed to help,” vs “does it help?”

It’s a disease that affects hundreds of thousands – and potentially millions – of people in the UK and across the globe.
Indeed, Daisy Ilchovska describes it as the world’s most misunderstood pandemic.
Now the Bournemouth-based nutritionist, published researcher and former Lyme Disease patient has released a new book – Lyme in the Limelight – aimed at raising awareness.
Ten per cent of all proceeds will go to the charity, Lyme Disease UK.
Lyme Disease is the fastest-growing vector-borne bacterial infection (viral diseases transmitted by vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, lice, biting flies, and fleas) in the UK.
It can trigger more than 40 different symptoms in infected individuals including fatigue, brain fog, muscle twitching, flu-like symptoms, painful arthritis and severe neurological symptoms such as muscle weakness and non-epileptic seizures. (See link for article)
That’s right folks. No admissions, no corrections, no apologies, just policy changes, and hand waving.
But the real clincher is that the FDA’s emergency use authorizations (EUA) for COVID-19 products – including tests and “vaccines” – and major Medicare telehealth “flexibilities” will remain intact – even after the emergency has ended. This blatant overreach will insure that the gene therapy injections and favored treatments, such as Paxlovid and Lagevrio, will continue.Heaven forbid those cash cows end!
HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra sent a letter to U.S. governors with the surprise announcement that perfectly demonstrates what this is all about:
“When this transition to traditional health care coverage occurs later this year, many Americans will continue to pay nothing out-of-pocket for the COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) are a preventive health service for most private insurance plans and will be fully covered without a co-pay.Currently, COVID-19 vaccinations are covered under Medicare Part B without cost sharing, and this will continue. Medicaid will continue to cover all COVID-19 vaccinations without a co-pay or cost sharing through September 30, 2024, and will cover ACIP-recommended vaccines for most beneficiaries thereafter.”
Becerra did not bother to mention that COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent transmission or infection, or that they potentially cause increased risk of COVID-19.
Welcome to the era of The Eternal Non-Emergency Emergency.
This insightful video with Bret Weinstein and Healther Heying (both PhDs in Biology) discuss public health tyrants in the U.S. and globally as the COVID narrative continues to crumble. Please also read this article on how CDC director Walensky is calling for an overhaul of the U.S. public health, and while this is desperately needed, an overhaul on Walsky’s terms will only further cover up the inherent problems and merge national security with public health – a dangerous agenda that will only further destroy medical freedom.
Comments by Brian Shilhavy Editor, Health Impact News
Since last year (2022) I have been warning the public about the new class of “experts” that have arisen since COVID warning about the dangers of the COVID-19 injections, but who endorse and recommend all the other vaccines that have been approved by the FDA for the past 30+ years.
The corruption in the pharmaceutical industry and the injection of toxic vaccines that cause injuries and deaths did not begin in 2020 with the COVID shots, and there are many of us who have been warning the public on these killer vaccines for decades now.
I have also stated publicly that I am PROUD to be labeled as an “Anti-vaxxer”! (See link for article)
_______________
**Comment**
The following information is imperative to understand and share with others because it is not widely found. You have to hunt for it, because what you are about to read blows up everything you know and have been told by corrupt public health ‘authorities’ who have patents on many vaccines. Most doctors aren’t even aware of the sordid backstory and only receive enough education on vaccines to read and understand the package inserts.
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, the reason I post so much about vaccines is they can and have reactivated latent infections in Lyme/MSIDS patients. I’ve personally seen the heartbreaking outcomes. Healthy twenty-somethings with their world before them, completely side-lined because they succumbed to peer-pressure to get a “routine” flu vaccine. All their Lyme/MSIDS symptoms come raging back, they are forced to quit school and work, and move back home with mom and dad as they can not do the simplest of tasks independently.
Talk about a game-changer.
I have purposed that this taboo topic MUST be researched and discussed – popular or not. If I can save ONE kid or educate ONE grandma from making this earth-shattering mistake, I’ve accomplished my goal. This might offend some, but I’ve never been about stroking public opinion. I detest bullying of any sort and have always cared more about the underdog – the one that gets hurt but nobody believes.
You owe it to yourself to study vaccines so you can make an informed decision for yourself and your children.
Infant deaths due to vaccines are never listed on death certificates, but are listed as SIDS(sudden infant death syndrome) due to the lack of ICD (International Classification of Diseases) codes, sanctioned by the CDC and the WHO. Coroners can’t choose to list a death as due to a vaccine even if they wanted to because no code exists for it.
SIDS remains the leading cause of death among infants in the U.S. claiming 3,700 lives in 2015.
Dr. Viera Scheibner, one of the few scientists who has investigated SIDS and a possible link for vaccines, concludes that the answer to the cause of death is in the name: SIDS – Sudden Immunization Death Syndrome
The government is perfectly aware that vaccines permanently disable and kill because Congress established a “death and disability” tax on childhood vaccines more than 25 years ago when the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-660) created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). (Full article.) Yet, no code exists for such deaths, so they conveniently can’t be tracked or numbered.
American babies get more vaccine doses than any other nation and when mortality from 19 wealthy Western countries were compared, the U.S. came in last.
Mississippi, with the highest infant mortality rate, also has the highest vaccination rate in the U.S.
Joy Fritz, a Death Certificate Clerk, recently published some of her observations on the subject of public records on deaths. She writes:
Our current system for capturing mortality rates can and does provide a mostly uninvestigated and inaccurate picture of what causes a death. The process for creating and registering causes of death for public records is a complicated, convoluted, politicized, completely open to both ignorance and the manipulations of personal, professional, and governmental interests.
I’m the one creating these statistics and I offer you this: If you take one thing away from this, take away a healthier skepticism about even the most accepted mainstream, nationally reported, CDC or other ‘scientific’ statistics. Source
She also states that doctors are not allowed to attest to anything that is not a strictly NATURAL cause of death.
This includes falls, medication complications, overdoses, causes with the word ‘injury’ in it, anything considered unnatural or external is outside the realm of their jurisdiction. Further, any delay caused by coroner involvement is highly dreaded and avoided at all costs due to the amplified grief it can cause the family as well as the pressure of limited time (within hours) to provide the cause of death to a funeral home. Typically doctors provide the simplest natural cause they know will quickly pass the approval of the local registrar’s office. This of course will omit any hope of capturing deaths caused by or complicated by a vaccine, drug, etc. As Fritz points out,
…the medical community itself is suffering from the ignorance that this kind of circular mortality rate generating system creates.
That kind of system can only regurgitate the same causes of death over and over again by forcing its reporters to use the same types of ‘acceptable’ death diagnoses as what ALREADY exists. Source
It also perfectly enables deaths caused by Big Pharma to remain unnoticed and uncounted.
The government, along with a complicit mainstream media and medicine, reduce the complex issue by name-calling anyone who dares to question the vaccine narrative an”anti-vaxxer,” a term synonymous with leper. In truth, there are many positions in the vaccine debate continuum, the following graphic shows 4 but while many doctors might consider themselves to be “pro-vaccine,” they don’t administer all of them to everyone, or they delay them for some patients, all of which departs from the “one size fits all” needle in every arm CDC/Big Pharma/government position.
The improved measles vaccine rolled out in Africa in 1989 was found to double mortality from other diseases in girls. The diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine (DTP) was found to have the same disastrous effect, doubling mortality among children under the age of 5, and girls were again more likely to die
Inactivated (non-live) vaccines — the DTP, pentavalent vaccine, inactivated polio vaccine, H1N1 influenza vaccine and the hepatitis B vaccine — all increased all-cause mortality, especially among girls, even when they offered a high degree of protection against the target disease
GlaxoSmithKline’s antimalarial vaccine Mosquirix, which appears to offer 18% to 36.3% protection against malaria depending on the age group, was found to increase all-cause mortality by 24%
In Phase 3 trials, Mosquirix increased the risk of meningitis 10 fold, as well as the risk for cerebral malaria, and doubled female all-cause mortality
According to bioethicists, the World Health Organization’s malaria vaccine study breaches international ethical standards as they are testing vaccine safety in clinical trials without first obtaining informed consent from parents of child participants in Malawi, Ghana and Kenya
Why:We need to keep additional vaccine requirements OFF the required schedule for school children. We are asking for a hearing for this, as well as a vote to suspend the new requirement. This is a vital protection for the future should exemptions be removed in Wisconsin WHICH IS POSSIBLE in the future.
Deadline: Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 5pm.
Goal: 100 calls and 100 emails to each of these offices
We need CONSTITUENTS especially to make sure they state they are a constituent, especially of Rep. Spiros, Rep. Petersen, and Rep. Neylon. Find out if you are a constituent here: Wisconsin Legislative District Viewer
The Details
As of today, Wisconsin has three vaccine exemptions available for day care and K-12 children.
In the event that the legislative majority decides to remove vaccine exemptions, we need the protection RIGHT NOW of the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules. We need them to suspend a rule requiring additional vaccines for Wisconsin school children. This is an action that is going to protect us in the future, should the worst happen.
It is VITAL. You may think that Wisconsin exemptions are secured today, but they are not. If the legislature decides to remove exemptions in the future, we need the Rules committee to have our back and suspend these requirements NOW.
SCRIPT:
“I am calling to request
that youcall a public hearing on CR 19-079
that you VOTE TO SUSPEND DHS Rules 19-079 that would require WI children to receive the meningococcal vaccine for school and make changes to chicken pox reporting.”
ADDITIONAL STEPS:
CALL and EMAIL your own Senator and Representative and request they:
Put pressure on the committee members of JCRAR to hold a hearing and suspend these rule changes.
Remind them if they truly support vaccine choice, they will request this hearing in order to suspend these rules.
Wisconsin DHS proposed some rule changes a few years ago that just went into effect Feb. 1, 2023, one of which added the meningococcal vaccine to Wisconsin’s vaccine requirements for 7th and 12th graders.
We do not want any additional vaccines added to WI’s required vaccination schedule, and we have the chance here to push the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules to suspend these rule changes.
DHS is already alerting day care centers and schools of the updates, and we believe they are purposely being unclear to cause confusion and misunderstandings. Exemptions DO still stand – Wisconsin has personal, religious, and medical, however it is imperative we continue to push against any and all additions of vaccine requirements on our schedule for daycare/school. We have had enough of the heavy-handed government telling citizens what to do.

How to lift brain fog and boost your immune system
2/9/23
By Lonnie Marcum
Both viruses and bacteria can invade the brain. All too frequently, patients with lingering symptoms following infection complain of “brain fog.”
Brain fog describes the feeling of mental confusion, forgetfulness, memory loss, lack of motivation, inability to focus, and/or difficulty concentrating.
A simple technique known as lymphatic drainage massage may help to clear the fog and boost your immune system at the same time.
Patients with brain fog often report “drawing a blank” when trying to remember the name of a friend, family member or pet; forgetting what they were going to do; or getting lost on the way home or to a familiar location. Brain fog can also be associated with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression.
Prolonged brain fog can be caused by a variety of factors, including sleep disturbance, certain medications, head injury, environmental toxins, inflammation and infection—which is the case in many individuals with “Lyme brain.”
Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, can infect the brain and nervous system. Neurological symptoms of Lyme disease are a late-stage manifestation of Bb infection called neuroborreliosis.
Neuroborreliosis and Lyme Brain
In 2011, researchers at the University of California, Davis were able to show how Bb invades the lymph nodes within 24 hours after infection. They later discovered how it causes abnormalities in the lymph tissues and impairs the immune system.
A more recent study suggests that the choroid plexus may play a role in how Borrelia infections affect the nervous system. The choroid plexus is found within the ventricles near the center of the brain. It produces and filters cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the clear fluid that circulates around the brain and spinal cord.
Another important study from Tulane University found spirochetes that cause Lyme disease in the autopsied brain tissue of a patient who had been aggressively treated with antibiotics. This demonstrated that infection can persist despite antibiotic treatment.
Even if the Borrelia spirochetes don’t completely penetrate the brain, they are frequently present in the meninges. These are three protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Infection of the meninges is associated with increases in inflammatory cytokines, and meningitis, a swelling of the meninges.
Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S. and Europe. The spread of Bb to the central nervous system causing Lyme neuroborreliosis occurs in approximately 10–15% of all cases of Lyme disease. In the U.S., one of the most frequent manifestations of Lyme neuroborreliosis is lymphocytic meningitis.
Lyme lymphocytic meningitis is swelling of the meninges with the infiltration of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) into the CSF. Symptoms may include fever, headache, neck pain/stiffness, sensitivity to light and cognitive impairment.
Two Circulatory Systems
There are two circulatory systems in our bodies: the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system.
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries). Basically, arteries carry oxygenated blood and nutrients away from the heart to every tissue in the body, while veins carry used blood back to the heart and lungs in a continuous loop. Capillaries are the small vessels where the arteries and veins connect.
The lymphatic system is a secondary circulatory system. It works separately but in conjunction with the cardiovascular system. When working properly, lymphatics only move in one direction—towards the heart. Included in the lymphatic system are small bean-shaped structures called lymph nodes. Depending on one’s age and sex, there are 400-700 lymph nodes throughout the body with main clusters found in the neck, armpits, chest, abdomen and groin.
T-cells (T-lymphocytes) – play a crucial role in cell-mediated immunity;
B-cells (B-lymphocytes) – produce antibodies that help fight pathogens;
Dendritic cells – present antigens to T-cells, activating the immune system;
Macrophages – engulf and digest foreign matter, cellular debris, and pathogens;
Natural killer cells – attack abnormal (cancerous) or infected cells;
Plasma cells – produce and secrete antibodies.
As bacteria and viruses enter the lymph nodes, the immune cells work to identify and remove them. The more fluid that moves through the lymph nodes, the more immune cells will be produced. From there, the waste is filtered out through the liver and kidneys and the lymph is returned to the blood stream in a continuous cycle.
Unlike the cardiovascular system, which is powered by the heart, the lymphatic system lacks a central pump. Thus, it relies on muscle contractions to circulate lymph. To keep lymph moving through the system, you must drink plenty of water and be active enough to move the fluids through the body.
However, many patients with persistent symptoms of Lyme suffer from chronic fatigue, making activity and traditional exercise nearly impossible—which was the case with my daughter.
When my daughter was immobile due to chronic illness, I used three things to help with lymph drainage: passive range of motion exercises, medical grade compression stockings, and manual lymph drainage massage. These were all things I’d been taught as a physical therapist (PT).
Later we worked with a PT who specialized in chronic fatigue syndrome. She helped my daughter design a full body lymph drainage massage technique she continues to use to this day.
[Note: While you can learn to do all these things on your own, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with a licensed physical therapist to learn the proper technique for each. PT is covered by most insurance.]
Whether an infection is active, persistent, dormant, or the dead remnants of previous illness, it can produce inflammatory waste products that the body must try to clear through the circulatory system.
Lymphatic drainage massage is a therapeutic technique that uses gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the flow of lymph fluids in a specific direction through the body.
Whole body lymph drainage massage helps reduce inflammation and remove waste products. It also helps stimulate the immune system and allows the movement of basic hormones needed for rest and healing.
Lymphatic drainage massage is similar to deep cleaning your home. It’s like clearing the cobwebs out of the corners and the dust bunnies out from under the bed. When the lymph nodes are plugged, they slow the flow of lymphatic fluid. Leaving those nodes clogged and swollen impairs the healing process.
Never underestimate the value of keeping the lymphatic system functioning.
The Glymphatic System
In the brain, the lymphatic clearance pathway is called the glymphatic system—a pathway that was only recently discovered.
Maiken Nedergaard is a Danish neuroscientist who works at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York. In 2012, she first identified the existence of the network of lymphatic vessels in the brain that eliminate toxins via cerebrospinal fluid. Prior to this, no one knew how the brain cleared waste and infections. Nedergaard created the word “glymphatic” to represent the relationship between the glial cells and the lymphatic system of the brain.
Nedergaard discovered that the glymphatic system is responsible for removing byproducts of infection, including amyloid beta. It’s a protein that can build up in the brain and is associated with the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
The glymphatic system is most active during uninterrupted deep sleep. This is one reason why sleep is so important for overall brain health and why sleep deprivation can exacerbate neurodegenerative diseases.
Head/Neck Lymphatic Self-Massage
[Note: If you have any contraindications listed below, please speak to your doctor before performing this procedure.]
When doing lymphatic drainage massage, you always want to start by opening the lymph valves closest to the heart first, work your way outwards, then back in towards the heart. The first time you do this type of massage I recommend going low and slow — maybe 10 – 20 motions of each of the following steps. Later, if no adverse reactions, you can increase to 50 repetitions of each step.
Step 1. From a comfortable seated position, begin by gently pulsing the lymphatic nodes at the base of your neck, the soft space just above the collarbones. These nodes need to be opened before anything can move down from the head/neck.
Step 2. Move your fingers higher up the neck to the groove just behind your ears. With palms flat, pull the skin gently towards the front and all the way down to the center of your neck where it meets the “V” between the collarbones. (P.S. If your sinuses and/or ears pop and you feel like swallowing, you are doing it right.)
Step 3. Make the “Spock” hand sign. Place your middle and index finger behind the ears and the ring and pinky finger in front of the ears and gently pull downwards.
Step 4. Move your hands around the back of the head/neck to the base of the skull and gently pull forward.
Step 5, 6, and 7 is the first three steps in reverse: Perform steps 3, 2 and 1, pulling all the fluid down towards the collarbones.
This is the video I most frequently use to teach people this simple beginner’s self-drainage massage technique.
Watch:
Other Treatments
Ananti-inflammatory diet, full of high quality proteins, fresh fruits/veggies and fiber, and low in processed foods, sugar, gluten and dairy.
Vitamin B, vitamin C andvitamin D are also vital to immune health,
Epsom salt baths or foot soak. The magnesium helps to calm the nerves
Saunas and dry brushing also help with lymphatic drainage,
Movement based upon your tolerance: simple range of motion (moving arms & legs while lying or seated), walking, yoga, swimming, or biking.
Vagus nerve stimulation regulates the immune system through its connections with immune cells in the spleen, thymus and gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT),
I always recommend speaking to your treating clinician before beginning a new treatment method. Contraindications to lymphatic massage include acute infection, cardiac edema, cancer, blood clots (DVT), bleeding conditions, kidney failure, bronchitis, uncontrolled high blood pressure.
