The Weather Wars: FEMA & Equitable Mass Murder

Despite the non-stop clanging and fear-mongering about the climate, this website has posted frequently on the subjects of ‘climate change’ and geoengineering – or modification of the weather by government using toxic chemicals including heavy metals like aluminum and aerosols leading to unknown catastrophic environmental and health consequences. The CIA Director admits plans utilizing geoengineering (aka chemtrails) and Alexa calmly states Hurricane Helene was artificially created with ‘cloud seeding’ using silver iodide.

The reasons for posting this are numerous:

This 17 minute video aligns the CDC’s “50 years of ‘vaccine’ progress” timeline with known military spraying experiments and disease outbreaks.

Dr. Garth Nicolson’s work with a bioweaponized Mycoplasma (fermentans) used on prison inmates is discussed in the book “Project Daylily.”  Myco is also connected with Gulf War Syndrome as well as rheumatic and other chronic illnesses.

 He states 80% of Lyme patients also have Mycoplasma.

Mainstream media is using Hurricane Helene to Fuel the Climate Agenda

Never one to miss an opportunity, Mainstream media is once again using a tragedy to push the climate change agenda in the wake of Hurricane Helene in an attempt to ratchet up the public fear. Hear why mountains of data show otherwise and the strong claims made by experts that are now debunked.  10 Min Video here:   https://thehighwire.com/ark-videos/media-use-hurricane-helene-to-fuel-climate-agenda/

AIRDATE: October 3, 2024

“It has become in vogue over the last 48-72 hours to caustically castigate people for spreading ‘misinformation,’ about hurricane Helene and the aftermath. The main point of contention is whether anybody has proof that citizens of NC were threatened with arrest as they attempted to help people get to safety. I think this argument is pedantic, and divisive.

Just listen to people, straight, the story is in all their voices.

Here Chris Martenson allows a man named Cody, 32, to speak almost uninterrupted, about his surreal morning, last Friday, moment by moment. This story is being told by the survivors and there is no complication believing or not believed different versions. Everybody’s story is similar, only varying in the horror of the details:

It came upon them within in minutes.

No warning. No nothing.” ~ Celia Farber, independent journalist

I just learned that the largest vital IV fluid manufacturer in North Carolina, a McDowell County plant, operated by Baxter Healthcare Corp is closed and cut off from outside repair crews due to a bridge outage. The facility produces over 60% of the US supply of IV fluid daily—1.5 million bags of fluid per day. They also produce Dextrose and dialysis solutions. Hospitals are already reporting shortages, and the lives of dialysis patients are now at risk. Repairs to this vital facility will take weeks at the very least and possibly much longer.  Source:  https://gingerbreggin.substack.com/p/american-red-states-are-under-globalist

While the media is using this tragedy to cash in, it appears our leaders are clueless.

On Oct. 2, 2024, President Biden was asked, “What do the states in the storm zone need – after what you saw today?” 

He responded, “Oh, storm zone? I didn’t know which storm you’re talking about.”  “They’re getting everything they need, and they’re very happy across the board.”

Yet, that’s not what boots on the ground are saying as well as disaster response specialists.  There has been zero government response and FEMA is AWOL. In fact, civilians are leading the relief effort despite serious efforts to undermine this help.  It’s all very reminiscent of the shenanigans of the Maui ‘fires:’   https://gingerbreggin.substack.com/p/mauis-inferno-organized-human-evil

Seems the ‘pandemic’ card is now getting old so the ‘natural disaster’ card must be pulled from the global deck.

Watch this interview with a documentary filmmaker who lives and works in Asheville, NC and learn about:

  • the government’s neglect at home while sending hundreds of billions abroad
  • the eerie parallels between the official response to Helene and the Maui fires
  • FEMA’s obstruction of supply deliveries
  • the government’s bungling and obstructionism raises suspicions that it’s designed to be used as a pretense for federal crackdowns on dissidents
  • and much more

Now, it appears Florida is in the crosshairs with Hurricane Milton which is predicted to be one of the worst storms to hit Tampa Bay in 100 years, causing some to speculate that hurricanes appear to only be battering red states right before an election.  Who’s going to be concerned about voting when you need water?  Then, if that wasn’t bad enough, there’s a potential hurricane ‘Nadine’ right after Milton to destroy anything still left standing.

Coincidently, it appears Bill Gates is funding 40 water front acres in Tampa, FL as a ’15 Minute City.”

Stop Unconstitutional REAL ID & Attack on Free Speech

https://mailchi.mp/aapsonline/stop-realid?

By Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom 

Please take action:  https://www.cchfreedom.org/

When the Obama administration issued the “You Can’t Fly” LIE about REAL ID (other ID options), it intended to compel Americans to submit to the REAL ID, an unconstitutional national ID system. It usurps 10th Amendment states’ rights and 4th Amendment privacy rights.In recent testimony to Congress, state DMVs are pushing for the federal REAL ID to be put on our phones, creating a mobile driver’s license (mDL) and mobile ID (mID). This would enable Americans to become vulnerable to a China-like “social credit system” of tracking and control.They want Americans to suffer until they submit. On September 12, 2024, the TSA and Homeland Security together announced a proposed REAL ID rule, refusing to further extend the May 7, 2025 REAL ID deadline and giving the public only 30 days during the height of this very heated election to comment on the government’s plan to impose the federal REAL ID through a new 2-year period of progressively more painful enforcement:“During the phased enforcement period individuals will experience varying levels of consequences including warning notices and progressive enforcement (as part of a phased enforcement plan), or full enforcement (where agencies transition to full enforcement on the deadline).”

DEADLINE TO COMMENT: Tuesday, October 15 (11:59 PM EASTERN).
NOTE: Regulations.gov is shutting down for 2 days (Oct 12-13).

The public’s comments should point out that REAL ID is unconstitutional and unenforceable. 

Here is a short sentence/comment you can copy and paste into the comment options provided below (feel free to customize and/or add your own concerns if you have time):

What’s at Stake

If you are just tuning into the global takeover, please read how globalists and their proponents are using digitization to centralize and monopolize everything including your private information, currency and banking data, not to mention health/medical care.  If you think it’s hard to get Lyme/MSIDS treatment now, just wait to see how bad it can get if further medical monopolization is allowed to happen.

The Real ID Act of 2005 requires states to standardize driver’s licenses across the nation into a single national identity card and database. While it is ostensibly aimed at improving driver’s license security, its actual effect is to turn those same licenses into national ID cards by stipulating that state driver’s licenses and state ID cards will not be accepted for “federal purposes”—including boarding an aircraft or entering a federal facility—unless they meet all of the law’s numerous conditions.

If fully implemented, the law would facilitate the tracking of data on individuals and bring government into the very center of every citizen’s life. By definitively turning driver’s licenses into a form of national identity documents, Real ID would have a tremendously destructive impact on privacy. It would also impose significant administrative burdens and expenses on state governments, and it would mean higher fees, longer lines, repeat visits to the DMV, and bureaucratic nightmares for individuals.

Because of these problems, many states oppose the use of Real ID, and it has not gone into full effect. The ACLU has joined with these states to support the repeal of the law.  Source:   https://www.aclu.org/issues/privacy-technology/national-id/real-id

Free Speech Under Siege

This week, former Secretary of State, John Kerry, declared his disdain for the first amendment when it comes to social media and ‘disinformation’ at a World Economic Forum meeting. He’s just one of the prominent politicians, journalists and world leaders who are trying to stifle free speech including The Atlantic, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Hillary Clinton, under the guise of protecting the people from misinformation.  AIRDATE: October 3, 2024

Source:  https://thehighwire.com/ark-videos/free-speech-under-siege/

Following the globalist WEF and UN agenda, Bill Gates wants AI to correct free speech, and criminalize ‘vaccine’ hesitancy.

If we don’t protest this tyranny now it will be too late.

Remember this?

All of these so called leaders have used their positions of power to gaslight anyone who has the audacity to disagree with them.  Further, they continue to be the worst purveyors of mis and disinformation.

Revolutionizing Lyme Disease Care for Patients

Ravel Health: Revolutionizing Lyme Disease Care for Patients

by Admin at Global Lyme Alliance on October 4, 2024

<span id="hs_cos_wrapper_name" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_meta_field hs_cos_wrapper_type_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="meta_field" data-hs-cos-type="text" >Ravel Health: Revolutionizing Lyme Disease Care for Patients</span>
Ravel Health is revolutionizing Lyme disease care with affordable, virtual, and personalized treatment options for chronic illness patients.

Perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with Lyme or other tick-borne illness. Maybe you’ve been suffering with chronic symptoms for years but have yet to receive a diagnosis. In either case, you want to see a Lyme literate medical provider (often referred to as LLMD), but you find yourself up against several barriers: wait-lists are months to years long. Providers don’t take insurance, and their rates are prohibitively expensive. You can’t find a provider in your area, and don’t have the energy or the means to travel. Sound familiar?

Chronic Lyme patients Kevin Williams and Jaime Intile know first-hand the frustrations that patients face in gaining access to treatment, so they’ve created a better way. Global Lyme Alliance is proud to partner with Williams and Intile’s company, Ravel Health, which specializes in matching patients with affordable, virtual care for Lyme, mold, and complex illness.

Available in ten states with the hope to be nationwide by 2025, Ravel Health offers subscription-based services that quickly match patients to vetted care teams who provide personalized telehealth including testing, treatment plans, prescriptions, and supplements.

“Ravel Health aims to simplify the Lyme journey from start to finish…”

“It can take a long time between onset of symptoms and diagnosis, and then getting a diagnosis is only half the battle,” Williams says. “We wanted to build something that we would have loved to have.” Unlike traditional medical practices, Ravel Health aims to simplify the Lyme journey from start to finish:

  • No medical gaslighting or saying “it’s all in your head”
  • No waitlists to see a vetted Lyme-literate provider
  • Personalized provider/patient matching
  • Conventional, Functional, and Integrative treatment options
  • Affordable 30, 60, or 90-minute monthly appointments with ability to upgrade or downgrade on a monthly basis
  • Significant discounts on labs and supplements
  • Everything done from the comfort of home

How does it work?

Ravel Health providers, including MDs, NDs, and NPs, go through a strict screening process. Each has at least six years of experience treating Lyme and chronic illness and is vetted through Williams and Intile themselves, and then through Ravel’s Chief Medical Officer.

After filling out a short questionnaire, patients are matched with up to three Lyme-literate providers in their state. Williams and Intile review initial questionnaires with the Chief Medical Officer to figure out the best possible fits based on individual patient preferences. Patients then choose from up to three providers. “We want patients to select providers based on fit, such as a provider’s specialties or treatment philosophy,” says Williams.

Patients also choose between affordable monthly subscription plans that offer different appointment lengths and intervals based on individual need. No matter the subscription, patients will always have ready access to providers, with guaranteed monthly appointments and guaranteed portal responses within three business days. “We believe deeply in continuity of care,” says Williams. “When a patient is having a flare, they need to be able to contact their provider or get an appointment booked. We want to make sure patients aren’t left hanging.”

Providers use evidence-supported labs and treatment protocols, personalizing them for each patient. Recommended test kits, lab orders, medications and supplements are sent directly to patient’s homes, with the option of mobile blood draws in certain areas. And Ravel Health’s simple model doesn’t just benefit patients. “We provide wraparound services so providers can focus on treatment,” Williams notes. Providers have a built-in community with whom they can share complex cases and ask questions.

What are patients saying?

Ravel Health ran a pilot from October to March with seven providers and thirty patients. The results were incredibly positive. Knowing that providers are vetted and curated, and knowing that they wouldn’t be medically gaslighted, put patients at ease. Patients know that Williams and Intile understand what they’re going through and have been through it themselves, so they trust they’re in good hands. “That piece is key for patients,” says Williams. He adds that having everything streamlined was refreshing for patients, as well as having options to choose from. Since Lyme and chronic illness strips patients of so much agency, Williams says, “We want to give patients as much choice as possible.”

Why Ravel?

Besides offering affordable, streamlined, and timely care from knowledgeable providers, Ravel focuses on the patient journey to health, as evidenced by the company’s name. With Lyme disease, life often unravels as patients fight for diagnosis, treatment, validation, and their health. Ravel Health helps patients ravel their health back together. “We are changing the way Lyme patients are treated,” says Williams.

Abstract

Importance  Previous studies have identified mutations in SARS-CoV-2 strains that confer resistance to nirmatrelvir, yet how often this resistance arises and its association with posttreatment virologic rebound is not well understood.

Objective  To examine the prevalence of emergent antiviral resistance after nirmatrelvir treatment and its association with virologic rebound.

Design, Setting, and Participants  This cohort study enrolled outpatient adults with acute COVID-19 infection from May 2021 to October 2023. Participants were divided into those who received antiviral therapy and those who did not. The study was conducted at a multicenter health care system in Boston, Massachusetts.

Exposure  Treatment regimen, including none, nirmatrelvir (paxlovid), and remdesivir.

Main Outcomes and Measures  The primary outcome was emergent SARS-CoV-2 antiviral resistance, defined as the detection of antiviral resistance mutations, which were not present at baseline, were previously associated with decreased antiviral efficacy, and emerged during or after completion of a participant’s treatment. Next-generation sequencing was used to detect low frequency mutations down to 1% of the total viral population.

Results  Overall, 156 participants (114 female [73.1%]; median [IQR] age, 56 [38-69] years) were included. Compared with 63 untreated individuals, the 79 who received nirmatrelvir were older and more commonly immunosuppressed. After sequencing viral RNA from participants’ anterior nasal swabs, nirmatrelvir resistance mutations were detected in 9 individuals who received nirmatrelvir (11.4%) compared with 2 of those who did not (3.2%) (P = .09). Among the individuals treated with nirmatrelvir, those who were immunosuppressed had the highest frequency of resistance emergence (5 of 22 [22.7%]), significantly greater than untreated individuals (2 of 63 [3.1%]) (P = .01). Similar rates of nirmatrelvir resistance were found in those who had virologic rebound (3 of 23 [13.0%]) vs those who did not (6 of 56 [10.7%]) (P = .86). Most of these mutations (10 of 11 [90.9%]) were detected at low frequencies (<20% of viral population) and reverted to the wild type at subsequent time points. Emerging remdesivir resistance mutations were only detected in immunosuppressed individuals (2 of 14 [14.3%]) but were similarly low frequency and transient. Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data analysis showed no evidence of increased nirmatrelvir resistance in the United States after the authorization of nirmatrelvir.

Conclusions and Relevance  In this cohort study of 156 participants, treatment-emergent nirmatrelvir resistance mutations were commonly detected, especially in individuals who were immunosuppressed. However, these mutations were generally present at low frequencies and were transient in nature, suggesting a low risk for the spread of nirmatrelvir resistance in the community with the current variants and drug usage patterns.

Topical Ivermectin & Fenbendazole for Cancer & Disease

Multiple Case Reports & Before and After Photos

Justus R. Hope

Sep 28, 2024

Although Ivermectin was developed and approved by the FDA for the treatment of parasitic disease, further studies revealed other properties including its anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-cancer effects which led to other approvals. As shown above, it now can effectively treat Inflammatory Rosacea.

Ivermectin was approved for veterinary use in 1981, and by 1986 it was approved for human use as an anti-parasitic. By 2014, the FDA approved Ivermectin for use in Inflammatory Rosacea, as Ivermectin has powerful anti-inflammatory properties as can be noticed by the dramatic reduction in redness in the images above following 12 weeks of topical treatment.

Interestingly the human version of topical Ivermectin marketed as Soolantra in the 1% strength for a 45-gram tube will run you about $ 621.00 provided you have a Good Rx coupon. Without this coupon, the full non-insurance cash price is $ 845.00.

By contrast, Ivermectin topical 1.87% can be purchased on Amazon for around $ 53.00 for six 6-gram tubes or 36 grams. However, the catch is that the cheaper 1.87% version is for veterinary use, and not designed for humans.

Nevertheless, the Ivermectin molecule is the same whether we are talking about brand or generic, veterinary or human – and it is dirt cheap, with half a billion doses being donated to eradicate River Blindness in the Mectizan Program. However, with the approval of Soolantra and a new patent, more money could be charged and was. One hundred times more to be precise.

A similar thing happened with mebendazole after Dr. Gary Riggins stumbled on its incredible anti-cancer activity in mice. The price of mebendazole shot up in the United States from $ 4.50 per tablet in 2011 to $ 369.00 in 2016, largely due to the promising studies showing it to be a potentially effective repurposed cancer drug.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Hopefully it’s now abundantly clear why ivermectin and HCQ had to be ‘taken down.’

These cheap and safe drugs do far too many things that rake in a lot of money for Big Pharma and its bed-partner the government.
