New Study & Leaked Docs Show Massive Government, Media, Big Tech Collusion to Censor Dissenters. Judge Rules Fauci et al. Can’t Slither Out of Depositions, Yet

**UPDATE**

Go here to listen to Senator Hawley rip into DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his agency’s collusion with Big Tech to suppress the speech of US citizens, as well as potentially targeting certain individuals as “domestic terrorists” for questioning COVID origins, “vaccine” safety, and other related controversial subjects.  Go here to stop this madness.

Groundbreaking: Study Details How Media, Big Tech Censored Doctors and Scientists Who Challenged COVID Narrative

A groundbreaking new scientific paper published Tuesday exposes the suppression and censorship of doctors and medical experts who opposed and challenged the official COVID-19 narrative.

Published in the sociological journal Minerva, “Censorship and Suppression of Covid-19 Heterodoxy: Tactics and Counter-Tactics,” details the experiences of medical professionals who spoke out against public health directives, and how they responded to efforts to suppress them.

The paper was co-authored by a team of Israeli and Australian scholars, including Yaffa Shir-Raz of the University of Haifa in Israel, Ety Elisha of The Max Stern Yezreel Valley College in Israel, Brian Martin of the University of Wollongong in Australia, Natti Ronel of Bar Ilan University in Israel, and Josh Guetzkow of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel.

As noted by Dr. Robert Malone, himself an outspoken critic of COVID-19 “orthodoxy,” the publication of this article is particularly significant as Minerva is released by “mainstream academic publisher” Springer, a “Q1 journal in its subfield” of sociology with a “decent” research impact factor in the social sciences — meaning that it enjoys a strong reputation within its academic field.

Malone said the article also is notable because one of its authors, Yaffa Shir-Raz, “broke the story with video from the internal meeting at the Israeli ministry of health” on “how they hid many of the key findings regarding the Pfizer mRNA vaccine adverse effects.”  (See link for article)

SUMMARY:

  • Media, tech companies played a central role in stifling COVID debate
  • These companies used censorship and smear tactics to destroy the reputations & careers of dissenters
  • This suppression of scientific dissent has far-reaching implications for medicine, science and public health
  • The study interviewed scientists and doctors globally who have experienced this but remain anonymous
  • Results show that the media and the medical establishment both used censorship and suppression against dissenters including:
    • exclusion (media stopped interviewing and accepting opinion pieces from dissenters)
    • derogatory labeling (anti-vaxxers, COVID deniers, dis/misinformation spreaders, conspiracy theorists)
      • Bought-out “fact checkers” were used to publicly undermine dissenters & social media removed posts, tweets, videos and even deleted accounts claiming dissenters violated “community rules.”
    • hostile comments
    • threatening statements (dissenters weren’t allowed to identify themselves with their institution when being interviewed or when expressing their views – as a condition of renewing their contract)
    • dismissal by employers (defamation with intention to harm dissenter’s reputations & careers. Many were disqualified from prestigious positions without due process or transparency)
      • The media was then used to spread the negative information around
    • official inquiries (investigations with threats to withdraw medical licenses, lawsuits with financial claims, and police searches of private clinics)
      • Please read & watch a video about Dr. Jackie Stone from Zimbabwe & how she faced four charges & was found guilty of two.  Other persecuted doctors are listed as well.  **UPDATE** This article states Stone was fined on two charges but faces no jail sentence.  She plans to fight back.
    • revocation of medical licenses
    • lawsuits
    • retraction of scientific papers after publication (often without peer review or unprecedented time taken to publish the material)
      • Tactics are consistent with Jansen and Martin’s framework on the dynamics of censorship, where covering up, devaluing, reinterpreting, and censoring information through official channels while intimidating dissenters are used
      • Despite this persecution, which caused “shock and surprise,” respondents remained undeterred and decided to fight back using counter-tactics due to their strong belief in the freedom of speech and their concern for public health
        • Counter-tactics include use of alternative channels to get their information out, creating a parallel world to mainstream media and medicine (a lot like Lymeland). New journals and non-profits were created due to the failure of existing ones
    • Study authors contrasted their paper with “Online Conspiracy Groups: Micro-Bloggers, Bots, and Coronavirus Conspiracy Talk on Twitter.”

Leaked Documents Reveal Homeland Security’s ‘Expansive’ Influence Over Social Media Censorship

Internal U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memos, emails and public documents outline “an expansive effort” by DHS to influence tech platforms, despite the Biden administration’s failure earlier this year to launch a Disinformation Governance Board.

Leaked government documents reveal that U.S. government officials have access to a special portal through which they can directly flag Facebook and Instagram posts and request that the posts be “throttled or suppressed,” The Intercept reported Monday.

As of Oct. 31, the “content request system” at facebook.com/xtakedowns/login was still live despite the public uproar earlier this year when attorneys general in 20 states threatened legal action unless the Biden administration immediately disbanded the “Orwellian” Disinformation Governance Board.

Mark Crispin Miller, Ph.D., professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University, told The Defender that collusion between the U.S. government and media companies to censor U.S. citizens is nothing new — but it’s become a “catastrophic trend.”  (See link for article)

Judge Hands Biden Admin Huge Setback In Big Tech-Government Censorship Case

November 4, 2022By Zachary Stieber

The Biden administration’s attempt to block depositions of several key officials was turned down Nov. 2 by a U.S. judge.

U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump appointee, rejected a request for a partial stay of his Oct. 21 order authorizing the depositions of eight officials, including President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Government lawyers asked the judge to impose the partial stay as an appeals court weighs a request to vacate the part of his order that enables the depositions of Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, a Biden appointee; Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly, a Biden appointee; and Rob Flaherty, a deputy assistant to the president.

Absent a stay,

“high-ranking governmental officials would be diverted from their significant duties and burdened in both preparing and sitting for a deposition, all of which may ultimately prove to be unnecessary if the Court of Appeals grants” their request, the government said.

Propaganda Exposed (Uncensored) The Truth About Health Freedom and Big Pharma

**Comment**

This case (Missouri v. Biden) is a lawsuit alleging that the U.S. government induced censorship of state officials and others on social media.  Altogether, 67 officials or agencies are accused of violating plaintiffs’ First Amendment rights by participating in a “censorship enterprise” through pressuring Big Tech firms such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter to take action against users offering alleged misinformation.  Go here for a list of the defendants, and here for a list of the plaintiffs.

Evidence backing the claims has been produced in discovery, including exchanges between White House officials and Meta, Facebook’s parent company, and messages showing meetings between administration officials and the firms.

Regarding the partial stay, the judge ruled that the government failed to show how these government employees paid with our tax dollars would be harmed apart from being distracted from their “significant duties.” Anyone paying attention for the past two years has learned that those significant duties primarily consist of censoring, giving misinformation, attacking dissenters, lying, and funding fraudulent research that supports the accepted narrative.  Their narrative.  And yes, they’ve been feverishly busy without any oversight.

On the other hand, the plaintiffs according to the judge, would be irreparably harmed by a partial stay because they’ve alleged a violation of the First Amendment and the loss of Amendment freedoms.   

“The Court finds that both the public interest and the interest of the other parties in preserving free speech significantly outweighs the inconvenience the three deponents will have in preparing for and giving their depositions,” he added.

Finally, someone with a brain.

Fauci’s deposition is slated for this month (Nov.) and others follow in early December unless the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit approves the writ of mandamus.  The writ, predictably, would allow these crooks to slither back into their well protected holes from which they can continue to cause unprecedented mayhem far above the law.

For more:

“What we found in what the whistleblowers put out was that the government was actually engaged—and the White House—in directly communicating with Big Tech on stories and information that they either wanted suppressed or put out,” says Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry.

This censorship is global and a favorite tactic of bullies and elites:

Lyme & Herxheimer Reactions: Your Guide to Feeling Well Again

Lyme + Herxheimer Reactions: Your Guide to Feeling Good Again

by Dr. Bill Rawls
Updated 8/18/22

It’s one of life’s cruel chronic illness jokes: You discover a new therapy for Lyme disease and are really optimistic about your odds of finally feeling better. Then, within a day or two of starting the regimen, your symptoms take a turn for the worse — intense fatigue, insomnia, and pain wash over you, and you feel like you did during your worst days of chronic illness. Could it be the dreaded Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction you keep hearing about from others undergoing Lyme treatment?

Unfortunately, answering that question is no easy feat. To help you better understand what’s happening, we’ll explain Herxheimer reactions and the best ways to differentiate them from other possible issues. Keep reading for advice, plus steps you can take now to feel better — without derailing your recovery.

Herxheimer Reactions, Defined

Herxheimer reactions were first observed in syphilis patients by dermatologists Adolf Jarisch and Karl Herxheimer in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They noticed that their patients receiving treatment often got worse before they got better. The phenomenon was dubbed the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction and has since been shortened to Herxheimer reaction, herxing, or simply, herx.

“The classic explanation of a Herxheimer reaction in people with Lyme is that when borrelia bacteria are killed off by an antibiotic or herbal therapy, parts of dead bacteria called endotoxins are shed,” explains Dr. Rawls. “These endotoxins then circulate throughout the body and cause an intense whole-body inflammatory reaction. And that makes the war against microbes that’s already going on inside your body worse.”

In general, herx reactions are more common and more intense with conventional antibiotic use than with herbs, says Dr. Rawls. “With herbs, the bacterial die‐off is more gradual, and the immune response is less intense.”

Either way, the intensification of your symptoms can be disconcerting, and if you’re treating Lyme, the odds are good you’ll experience herxing: While there’s no clinical research on the prevalence of herxing, anecdotally, it seems the majority of Lyme patients experience it at some point. And provided it’s not too intense, that’s actually good news: “It’s often a sign that the therapy is working,” says Dr. Rawls.

How To Tell If It’s Herxing—Or Something Else

Herx reactions can throw you for a loop for a few reasons.

For starters, symptoms vary from person to person, says Dr. Rawls, and they’re easy to confuse with other health concerns that are also highly likely in those with chronic Lyme, including a disease flare-up, adverse reaction to a new Lyme treatment, or food sensitivities (digestive issues are highly common in people who have Lyme). What’s more, the timing of any of these issues can also overlap, making it difficult to track your symptoms to their source.

For help clearing up the confusion and determining what’s to blame for your symptoms, check out these helpful identifying characteristics:

HERX REACTION

Symptoms: Intensified fatigue, muscle pain, neurological symptoms, and flu‐like symptoms such as headache, nausea, and digestive distress. You may also experience symptoms not listed here; herx reactions are highly variable between individuals.

Onset: Symptoms intensify in tandem with starting a new therapy.

Telltale signs: Symptoms may gradually improve with the continuation of therapy and worsen again when you increase the dosage or add a new therapy.

LYME FLARE-UP

Symptoms: Intensification of fatigue, arthritis (joint pain, swelling, and stiffness), flu-like feelings, GI distress; there’s a recurrence of your usual Lyme symptoms.

Onset: Symptoms are often precipitated by any extra stress to your system (including emotional stress, poor diet, toxin exposure, physical stress, lack of sleep, or a new tick bite). Symptoms are not related to starting a new therapy, though the two may coincide if you experienced stress just before starting the therapy.

Telltale signs: Your best clue is timing: A Lyme relapse typically occurs while taking a stable dose of treatment and in reaction to some type of stress, so look for recent lifestyle changes (i.e., diet changes, travel, sleep deprivation, relationships trouble, mold exposure).

ADVERSE TREATMENT REACTION

Symptoms: An allergic-like reaction (hives, itching, skin rash, runny nose, watery eyes, wheezing). This is common in people with chronic Lyme disease, whose entire immune system is in disarray and more easily activated.

Onset: Symptoms develop within about an hour of taking a new medication or herb

Telltale signs: Your symptoms get better when you take an allergy remedy such as an antihistamine. *See your doctor as soon as possible if you experience signs or symptoms of a drug allergy. Call 911 if you experience signs of a severe reaction or suspect an anaphylaxis after taking a medication.

FOOD SENSITIVITY

Symptoms: Fatigue, joint pain, muscle pain, general achiness, brain fog, irritability

Onset: Symptoms occur within hours to a couple of days after an offending food is consumed.

Telltale signs: Your symptoms get better when you eliminate the food(s) from your diet. Doctors can order testing for food sensitivity and heavy metal toxicity, however, the best determinant of food sensitivities is an elimination diet.

If these guidelines don’t describe your experience with herxing exactly, take heart. In the beginning, you may go back and forth between knowing whether what you’re experiencing is a herx reaction or something else, but with time, you will become better at distinguishing herxing and discover ways to ride it out.

It’s Herxing. When Will It End?

If you’ve determined (or strongly suspect) that you’re herxing, your next question is likely: How long will it last?

Unfortunately, there’s no cut-and-dry answer — everyone’s experience is individual, says Dr. Rawls. Some may feel better after a few days or a few weeks; others may experience herxing for as long as two to three months(though symptoms tend to wax and wane throughout that time).

The good news is, there’s a lot you can do to help ease a herx reaction and move beyond the symptoms more quickly. The quickest solution would be to discontinue your Lyme treatment. But that’s not necessarily the best option, says Dr. Rawls.

“Fundamental advice with herxing is to continue therapy at whatever dose you can tolerate. Sometimes you will have to reduce the dose to stay comfortable, but you can increase again later,” says Dr. Rawls. “If your symptoms improve over days to a couple of weeks, that suggests confirmation that it’s a herx. And as your symptoms ease up, you can gradually increase the dose until the desired therapeutic dose is reached.”

If your symptoms do not improve, it may be an indication that the therapy is not working. In this case, Dr. Rawls suggests either increasing the dose or adding other herbs or other therapies. If symptoms gradually start getting better, then you know you’re on the right track.

That said, if your symptoms are debilitating, back off on your treatment dosage or even stop altogether, advises Dr. Rawls. Then, once your symptoms are tolerable, you can gradually increase your dosage again.

6 Smart Ways to Ease Herxing

The number one way to find relief from herxing is to address the underlying cause for needing Lyme treatment in the first place: Factors that stress your cells and impair your immune function.

“Stressed cells are what makes people vulnerable to chronic Lyme,” explains Dr. Rawls. “Restore the health of your cells, and not only will your immune system be better at battling Lyme microbes, your body will be stronger at withstanding the side effects of treatment and overcoming herxing as well.”

To begin, work your way through what Dr. Rawls calls “Cellular Stress Factors,” which contribute to inflammation and intensify either a herx reaction or a Lyme relapse. These include poor nutrition, emotional stress, environmental toxins like air pollutants and mold, physical stress, and excessive exposure to radiation from modern sources like computers, cell phones, and microwave towers.

Once you’ve begun to take the pressure off your cells by decreasing your exposure to these disruptors, your body will be better equipped to handle both microbes and the endotoxins they create as they die off. The result: You start to feel better.

From here, there are a number of additional lifestyle habits you can adopt to help alleviate a Herxheimer reaction — all of which also contribute to restoring cellular health and immune functions and thus contribute to Lyme recovery, says Dr. Rawls. Here are his recommendations:

1. Fresh Ginger Tea

In general, drinking a lot of liquids is a good idea, but fresh ginger tea, in particular, has potent systemic anti-inflammatory properties for reducing Herxheimer symptoms. Plus, it’s great to soothe digestive symptoms. You can make it from fresh ginger root or use organic tea bags.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Therapies

Some good ones to try:

Turmeric and Boswellia

As anti-inflammatory herbs, turmeric and boswellia are excellent for reducing systemic inflammation associated with Herxheimer reactions, and it’s hard to take too much of them either. Dr. Rawls recommends 175 mg of turmeric and 75 mg of Boswellia, twice daily.

Marine Source Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids offer anti-inflammatory support, especially for high-fat tissues such as the brain. Both fish oil and krill oil reduce inflammation, but krill is better absorbed and also contains the antioxidant astaxanthin, which provides extra anti-inflammatory support. The suggested dose for krill oil is 500 mg, 1-3 times daily.

Red Root

Good for stimulating and clearing dead cellular debris from the lymphatic system, red root also supports a healthy liver and spleen, optimal immune function, and swollen lymph nodes.

Chlorella

A freshwater algae, chlorella does wonders for healing an irritated stomach and restoring digestive function. It’s also great for detoxing and healing in general. The typical maintenance dose is 5 to 7.5g total a day, and for additional support, we suggest 10g total a day. Chlorella can be taken any time of day. For best results, take it with food. (Avoid products that also contain spirulina, a blue-green algae that potentially contains toxins.)

Adaptogenic Herbs

These help reduce herxing and moderate the effects of stress. Some to try:

3. Proteolytic Enzymes

There are a variety of proteolytic enzymes that will work to help break down immune complexes and reduce inflammation. Bromelain (from pineapple) is a good choice; the dose is 500-1000 mg, one to two times daily. It’s sometimes found in combination supplements for joint health. Generally, it’s best to take enzymes on an empty stomach to absorb them directly.

4. Heat Therapy

Heat can be very soothing during herx reactions. A far infrared (FIR) sauna or a hot bath is excellent for removing toxins from the body. Adding Epsom salts to your bath can also help soothe muscles and joints.

5. Fresh Air

Forests and beaches or shores alongside open water are especially beneficial. Take your shoes off and walk barefoot: Called “grounding,” it’s a good practice for reducing inflammation in the body.

6. Relaxation Practices

Decreasing stress is key to normalizing the body’s adrenaline-cortisol response. But even when we feel unwell, most of us still try to push our limits. However, when you’re in the throes of a herx, don’t be afraid (or ashamed) to say “no” if you need to. Only agree to do what’s necessary, and let the rest go until you are back on your feet.

Need some extra help to bring on the calm? Use lavender essential oil. Research suggests it may be beneficial for easing insomnia, anxiety, and stress. Apply it to the bottoms of your feet before bed to help with sleep.

Thoughts on Herx Prevention

There’s a decent chance that if you increase the dosage of your current treatment or introduce a new one to your Lyme regimen, the herxing may return. It’s not entirely avoidable, says Dr. Rawls, but you can take steps to help fend off and reduce symptoms.

For instance, a few days before you change up your therapy, Dr. Rawls recommends adding some extra turmeric and krill oil to your daily routine; these help support a healthy immune and inflammatory response. He also suggests working to curb your mental and physical stress.

In general, the most successful approach to experiencing better health is to focus on reducing cellular stress and restoring healthy immune function. Do that, and you’ll rebound faster from herxing and begin to feel better.

Study: IFR Estimates in Non-elderly Populations Lower Than Previous Calculations & Risk of Dying From COVID Was Always “Miniscule”Regardless of Age

Age-stratified infection fatality rate of COVID-19 in the non-elderly informed from pre-vaccination national seroprevalence studies

This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed [what does this mean?]. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

The infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 among non-elderly people in the absence of vaccination or prior infection is important to estimate accurately, since 94% of the global population is younger than 70 years and 86% is younger than 60 years. In systematic searches in SeroTracker and PubMed (protocol: https://osf.io/xvupr), we identified 40 eligible national seroprevalence studies covering 38 countries with pre-vaccination seroprevalence data. For 29 countries (24 high-income, 5 others), publicly available age-stratified COVID-19 death data and age-stratified seroprevalence information were available and were included in the primary analysis.

  • The IFRs had a median of 0.035% (interquartile range (IQR) 0.013 – 0.056%) for the 0-59 years old population
  • 0.095% (IQR 0.036 – 0.125%,) for the 0-69 years old
  • The median IFR was:
    • 0.0003% at 0-19 years
    • 0.003% at 20-29 years
    • 0.011% at 30-39 years
    • 0.035% at 40-49 years
    • 0.129% at 50-59 years
    • 0.501% at 60-69 years

Including data from another 9 countries with imputed age distribution of COVID-19 deaths yielded median IFR of 0.025-0.032% for 0-59 years and 0.063-0.082% for 0-69 years. Meta-regression analyses also suggested global IFR of 0.03% and 0.07%, respectively in these age groups. The current analysis suggests a much lower pre-vaccination IFR in non-elderly populations than previously suggested. Large differences did exist between countries and may reflect differences in comorbidities and other factors. These estimates provide a baseline from which to fathom further IFR declines with the widespread use of vaccination, prior infections, and evolution of new variants.

Highlights *Across 31 systematically identified national seroprevalence studies in the pre-vaccination era, the median infection fatality rate of COVID-19 was estimated to be 0.035% for people aged 0-59 years people and 0.095% for those aged 0-69 years.

*The median IFR was 0.0003% at 0-19 years, 0.003% at 20-29 years, 0.011% at 30-39 years, 0.035% at 40-49 years, 0.129% at 50-59 years, and 0.501% at 60-69 years.

*At a global level, pre-vaccination IFR may have been as low as 0.03% and 0.07% for 0-59 and 0-69 year old people, respectively.

*These IFR estimates in non-elderly populations are lower than previous calculations had suggested.

  • Polls taken in 2020 and 2021 revealed Americans were wildly confused and misinformed about their true risk of dying from COVID
  • Based on a new preprint analysis by professor John Ioannidis, there’s no reason for anyone to live in fear anymore, regardless of your age, as your risk of dying from COVID is — and always was — minuscule across the board
  • Before the COVID jabs were rolled out:
    • if you were 19 or younger, your risk of dying of COVID was 0.0003%; only 3 per 1 million infected with COVID at this age ended up dying
    • Between ages 60 and 69, the infection fatality rate was 0.501%, i.e., 1 out of 200 infected died
  • Emerging evidence suggests the shots are causing immune deficiency in some people, thereby actually raising their risk of dying from SARS-CoV-2 infection, even with the now-milder strains
  • The real-world risk of dying from COVID-19 based on published data from the Irish census bureau and the central statistics office for 2020 and 2021 is as follows:
    • for people under 70, the death rate was 0.014%
    • under 50 years of age, it was 0.002%, which equates to a 1 in 50,000 risk, or about the same as dying from fire or smoke inhalation
    • under 25 years of age, the mortality rate was 0.00018%, or 1 in 500,000 risk of dying from COVID

Despite this reality which was stated early on by those who dared to defy the accepted narrative, Harvard has mandated the new COVID booster, threatening to hold enrollment if students don’t comply.  Many places still require masking which has been proven to not only be dangerous, but utterly futile as a new study shows viral aerosols likely spread through the floors and walls.  A porous mask doesn’t stand a chance.

Genetic Fingerprint Reveals Synthetic Origin of SARS-CoV-2

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked
Nov. 3, 2022

Story at-a-glance

  • According to new research, the chance of SARS-CoV-2 having a natural origin is less than 1 in 100 million. SARS-CoV-2 has a telltale signature of genetic engineering, not previously identified
  • That genetic fingerprint suggests the work of Ralph Baric, Ph.D., was used in the creation of the virus. There’s a direct match between Baric’s published research — which describes how to hide telltale signs of genetic engineering — and the genetics found in SARS-CoV-2
  • In 2002, Baric invented a technique called seamless ligation, which conceals all evidence of genetic engineering in lab-created pathogens. Baric’s nickname for this technique is the “no-see’m method.” Baric taught the method to Shi Zhengli in 2016, and Shi and her colleagues at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) demonstrated mastery of Baric’s technique in a series of gain-of-function experiments
  • However, while seamless ligation conceals human tampering in lab-created pathogens, the method leaves a signature of its own, and that’s the signature discovered in SARS-CoV-2
  • The findings raise the possibility of liability for the University of North Carolina where Baric works, the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which funded Baric, the WIV and other parties

According to new research, the chance of SARS-CoV-2 having a natural origin is less than 1 in 100 million.1,2 The paper3 was posted on the preprint server BioRxiv October 20, 2022.

The author points out that the very people behind it all are limiting our understanding by framing the origins of COVID as either a natural “spillover” from an animal “reservoir” or a lab “accident,” and either the work of the China or the U.S. when Event 201, and the history of the U.S. biological weapons program reveal a far more complex and evil scenario.

Lab Leak MOST LIKELY Origin For COVID; Report Reveals UNSAFE Conditions At Wuhan Lab

Oct. 31, 2022

The Rising covers the information presented in the top article on the origins of COVID. Further, the commentator brings up an article in The Atlantic calling for “Amnesty” for “Pandemic” Authoritarians.  An excellent article covers this notion:

“You Murderous Hypocrites”: Outrage Ensues After The Atlantic Suggests “Amnesty” For Pandemic Authoritarians

November 2, 2022

By Tyler Durden

The Atlantic has come under fire for suggesting that all the terrible pandemic-era decisions over lockdowns, school closures, masking, and punishing an entire class of people who questioned the efficacy and wisdom of taking a rushed, experimental vaccine – for a virus with a 99% survival rate in most, should all be water under the bridge.

“We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID,” writes Brown Professor Emily Oster – a huge lockdown proponent, who now pleads from mercy from the once-shunned.

“Let’s acknowledge that we made complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty, and then try to work together to build back and move forward,” she continues.

Except, they weren’t “in the dark” about Covid.  There were numerous sources pointing out the actual science that ran contrary to the mandate claims, and they were deliberately silenced by a vast media campaign.  Evidence suggests that media platforms worked in tandem with Big Tech, the CDC and the Biden Administration.  It was not a simple matter of overreaction, there was collusion to remove all counter-information.  

Nice try, Emily.

Important excerpt:

The problem was not people’s ignorance of the facts, it was the organized antagonism and censorship against anyone presenting data that was contradictory to the mandate agenda. This is setting aside proclamations like those from the LA Times, which argued that mocking the deaths of “anti-vaxxers” might be necessary and justified.  After two years of this type of arrogant nonsense it’s hard to imagine people will be willing to pretend as if all is well.

The active effort to shut down any opposing data is the root crime, though, and no, it can never be forgotten or forgiven.

People are livid…

No Mercy, No Quarter: It’s Time To Crush The Branch Covidians

Fifteen days to slow the spread turned into, please forget we stripped you of your human dignity.

Those with gatekeeping powers, which they used to kick families off flights and deny Americans with disabilities public services also include government officials, doctors, and celebrities who instructed their followers to cut ties with relatives who refused to wear masks or take the vaccine. And they listened. Uncles were uninvited from meeting their nephews, parents disowned their children, and grandparents died alone in nursing homes.  They threw decades of medical knowledge out the window and replaced it with political propaganda, like proposing people double-mask, while admitting probable aerosol transmission of the virus through floors and walls, closing elementary schools, and dropping patients from the organ donor list. Sadly, there were many who lost all humanity by rejoicing in the deaths or belittling those who didn’t wear masks or get vaccinated.  After virtue-signaling many of these poor souls are ill or dead. (See link for article)

Those who had good reasons not to mask or get the COVID shots were completely vilified and their reasons ignored.  This is not OK.
Medicine and research has been completely destroyed.  Doctors lost:
  1. Professional Autonomy – Doctors lost control of their practices and turned them over to corporations and large insurance companies.
  2. Their Scientific Roots
  3. Their Ethical Mooring – “We are seeing the complete destruction of medical ethics — without which you don’t have a profession.” ~ Dr. Richard Amerling

Important point from the Activist Post article:

One cannot help but notice that the timing of the Atlantic’s appeal for passive forgetfulness coincides with the swiftly approaching midterm election….

And bingo, you have your answer.

The report by Vanity Fair and ProPublica that published simultaneously with the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Minority Committee’s report last week referenced a 2019 biosafety incident at the Wuhan lab which is “under the thumb of the party state” to produce scientific breakthroughs whatever the cost.  This article states efforts are underway to “build on the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic and make key data more granular and available much more quickly.”

Lessons can not be learned until fault is admitted and that is not forthcoming.

A great example: Biden now claims he “Beat Big Pharma,” when reality paints a far different picture since he mandated unsafe, ineffective, untested toxic gene therapy shots on millions using taxpayer’s money, even going so far as bribing the public into taking shots which don’t stop transmission, infection, severe hospitalization, or death, and have negative efficacy.  Big Pharma is raking in the profits. The FDA has repeatedly mislead, deceived, colluded and defrauded.  And now, FDA commissioner Dr. Robert Califf is personally pushing Pfizer drugs, once again clearly demonstrating a huge breach of ethics.  Corrupt public health has mandated ineffective and dangerous lockdowns and masks which have been found to contain a 2B carcinogen.

The current regime has denied sick patients effective, cheap, safe, life-saving treatments for COVID while approving ineffective, expensive, toxic Big Pharma drugs – again allowing Big Pharma to rake in profits.

This isn’t beating pharma this is aiding and abetting it.

Patients and doctors haven’t had any recourse other than through the court system.  The CARES Act destroyed patient and doctor rights and insured hospitals would only use government approved treatments by giving them kick-backs.  Dissenters have been singled out and mistreated by their own family members and neighbors.  In short, a new form of segregation is allowed and encouraged.

Those entrusted with public health haven’t only failed miserably, they are directly behind the mistreatment of others – including very real segregation, and continue to lie, deceive, manipulate, and push a faulty narrative at all costs despite truth to the contrary – and causing irreparable harm and death.  ICAN just published the fact that the CDC didn’t even bother to collect data on 15 adverse reactions of interest linked to the COVID shots including myocarditis, blood clots, thombocytopenia, and others that are known to occur.

As the old saying goes, “You commit the crime, you do the time.“
  1. First, you can not forgive someone who doesn’t recognize and admit they were wrong. 
  2. Second, you can not forgive someone who hasn’t truly asked for forgiveness, clearly understanding and admitting they were wrong. 
  3. And third, just because someone has the grace to forgive doesn’t absolve the perpetrator from the consequences of their actions (do the time, get fired, pay restitution, etc) and making things right so the crime isn’t repeated in the future. Punishment should teach lessons.
Amnesty for perpetrators of the ‘Plandemic’ would only allow for it to all happen again.

Everything being said by our corrupt public health authorities demonstrates they are not admitting fault.  They want to blame “messaging,” when there are far more important issues such as completely ignoring the Constitution, censoring, banning, and persecuting dissenters, colluding with Big Media, Big Pharma, and Big Tech, overriding our medical/individual rights and privacy for informed consent, not to mention experimenting upon the American public, and much, much more.

Lessons are obviously not being learned as Boston University, funded by NIAID, recently created a deadly new COVID strain with an 80% kill rate in rats.  According to Dr. James Lyons-Weiler:

“The Omicron S-bearing virus robustly escapes vaccine-induced humoral immunity, mainly due to mutations in the receptor binding motif (RBM)”

These words will ring in minds of those in NIAID and CDC and everyone who pushed the spike-only vaccines.

This proves that spike-only “vaccines” caused vaccine escape.
Are our corrupt public authorities admitting this inconvenient truth?  (Answer: no)

Another example of not admitting fault is the continued use of FDA-approved Paxlovid when it is actually connected with a “rebound effect,”  and toxicity that can sometimes cause deadly blood clots which of course will muddy the waters further as the COVID shots are also linked to deadly blood clots leading to heart damage.  How convenient for the guilty.

Yet another example of not learning any lessons is Australia’s bright idea to inject cows with the mRNA gene therapy shot with the spike protein so farmers can remain in business.  Nearly 2 in 10 cows DIED almost instantly.  It is known the toxic spike protein goes systemically into the body shortly after injection which means all diary products and meat will be affected, thereby affecting humans consuming these things.

Payouts for Covid-19 shot injuries in humans are set to explode more than 80-fold to nearly $77 millionby July next year, Australia’s budget papers reveal.  The figure was quietly buried in the Services Australia portfolio budget statement, in a table detailing third-party payments from the agency “on behalf of other entities.” Other figures show that out of 2987 people to apply for compensation, only 59 were successful, with experts describing the rate of payouts as “absolutely pitiful”.  A large survey on tens of thousands of Ausies shows they regret getting the COVID shots.

Does it sound like anyone has learned any lessons?  Anyone admitting fault?

No Dice. No Amnesty!

mRNA Speed of Science Song

“It’s the jab that never did work.”

From the author:

The phrase “speed of science” inspired me to re imagine this classic folk song. American folk music has an incredibly rich history…it was all about telling stories that resonated with people and challenging the status quo. Who’s doing that today? I’m trying to, at least. How many classics do I have to hurl at the algorithm to break through the wall? I guess we’ll have to see. Plot twist: the extreme censorship I’ve experienced ended up inspiring my best work. Please share this and support if you can.

The spike Girls also recently created the powerful parody “The Sound of Silenced Science”.

Go here for an excellent article and here for an excellent news story on how COVID dictators are pleading for amnesty yet are guilty of lying about virtually every aspect of COVID that cost the public their freedoms, their jobs, their educations, and only promoted hatred and segregation.

The treatment of the unvaccinated was unbelievable.

COVID – 1984

The unvaccinated serve as the control group for this nefarious experiment on humanity and have put up with bullying, discrimination, and segregation. Mistakes were NOT made.  Don’t let them get away with it.

Masks Now Found to Contain 2B Carcinogen

**UPDATE Nov. 2022**

Research now indicates probable aerosol transmission of the virus through floors and walls proving the futility of porous masks.

https://media.mercola.com/ImageServer/Public/2022/October/PDF/titanium-dioxide-detected-in-masks-pdf.pdf

Masks Now Found to Contain 2B Carcinogen

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked
Oct. 26, 2022
Story at-a-glance
  • In a study of 12 face masks, every mask contained titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles in at least one layer, at levels that “exceeded the acceptable exposure level”
  • The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies titanium dioxide as a Group 2B carcinogen, which means it’s “possibly carcinogenic to humans” by inhalation
  • A meta-analysis called for a rethinking of nano-TiO2 safety, citing numerous toxic effects in humans and aquatic animals
  • Masks take both a physical and psychological toll; the journal Pediatrics highlighted the emotional burden felt by parents, clinicians and patients due to wearing masks in pediatric cancer wards
  • YouTube has updated its policies about what constitutes “misinformation” and now allows you to say masks don’t work

The face masks that were supposed to protect your health may turn out to be detrimental to it, as increasing evidence points to toxins within their fibers. Titanium dioxide is one such toxin, one that’s particularly troubling in face masks because it’s a suspected human carcinogen when inhaled.1

Not only have adults been unwittingly exposed to this likely cancer-causing substance due to widespread mask mandates put in place during the pandemic, but so too have children, whose bodies are especially vulnerable to toxic influences. Coupled with evidence suggesting that mask mandates and use did not lower the spread of COVID-19,2 forced mask mandates become all the more atrocious.

Group 2B Carcinogen Detected in Masks

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies titanium dioxide as a Group 2B carcinogen, which means it’s “possibly carcinogenic to humans” by inhalation.3 Prior to the pandemic, this occurred primarily in occupational settings during the production of titanium dioxide powders or in the manufacture of products containing the substance.

There’s also been some concern about spray-on (aerosolized) sunscreens, hair color sprays and cosmetic powders containing microscopic particles of titanium dioxide that could be inhaled.

Specifically, the state of California includes titanium dioxide in the form of airborne particles measuring 10 micrometers or less on its Proposition 65 list, stating, “Titanium dioxide (airborne, unbound particles of respirable size) is on the Proposition 65 list because it can cause cancer. Exposure to titanium dioxide may increase the risk of cancer.”4

Despite the fact that titanium dioxide’s carcinogenicity when inhaled is well-known, the compound is commonly used in face mask textiles to improve stability to ultraviolet light and for use as a white colorant and matting agent.

Nanoparticle technology is also being used in face masks, and nanofibers containing titanium dioxide have been used to make antimicrobial filters, often in combination with silver and graphene, while titanium dioxide nanoparticle coatings may also be applied to cotton fabric to enhance antibacterial properties.5

Not only have adverse effects been reported in animal studies involving inhalation of titanium dioxide particles,6 but a team of researchers warned of “possible future consequences caused by a poorly regulated use of nanotechnology in textiles,” expanding on potential human health and environmental effects:7

“Although originally classified as biologically inert, there is a growing body of evidence on the toxicity of TiO2 [titanium dioxide] to humans and non-target organisms … Artificial sweat was also used to test the concentration of the silver and TiO2 released from fabrics. The release rate was found to depend on the concentration of nanomaterials in the fabric and the pH of sweat.”

A meta-analysis published in the journal Small, which focuses on science at the nano- and microscale, also called for a rethinking of nano-TiO2 safety, citing numerous toxic effects in humans and aquatic animals:8

“Genotoxicity, damage to membranes, inflammation and oxidative stress emerge as the main mechanisms of nano-TiO2 toxicity. Furthermore, nano-TiO2 can bind with free radicals and signal molecules, and interfere with the biochemical reactions on plasmalemma [cell membrane].

At the higher organizational level, nano-TiO2 toxicity is manifested as the negative effects on fitness-related organismal traits including feeding, reproduction and immunity in aquatic organisms.”

TiO2 in Masks Exceeds ‘Acceptable’ Exposure Level

In a study published in Scientific Reports, researchers tested the amount of titanium — used as a proxy for TiO2 particles — in 12 face masks meant to be worn by the public, including single-use disposable varieties as well as reusable masks. The masks were made of various materials, including synthetic fibers like polyester and natural fibers, such as cotton.9

Every mask contained titanium dioxide particles in at least one layer, although they weren’t found in cotton fibers or meltblown nonwoven fabrics. Generally, the amount of titanium dioxide particles in nonwoven fabrics was lower — by a factor of 10 — than in polyester and polyamide fibers. Further, all of the masks except one contained TiO2 nanoparticles, which present an elevated inhalation hazard.

Nanosized particles are typically described as being less than 100 nanometers (nm). The median size of the titanium dioxide particles in the masks ranged from 89 to 184 nm.10 Based on a model in which face masks are “worn intensively,” the study found that exposure to titanium dioxide “systematically exceeded the acceptable exposure level to TiO2 by inhalation (3.6 µg).”

On Twitter, Federico Andres Lois shared, “The best (lowest contamination) has more than 5 times the acceptable limit. Ohh and by the way, you are forcing your kid to breathing through it.”11 This, the researchers concluded, calls for in-depth research to avoid adverse effects:12

“[T]hese results urge for in depth research of (nano)technology applications in textiles to avoid possible future consequences caused by a poorly regulated use and to implement regulatory standards phasing out or limiting the amount of TiO2 particles, following the safe-by-design principle.”

How Masks Make You Sick

The potential consequences of breathing in carcinogenic particles from face masks worn during the COVID-19 pandemic won’t be known for years, but red flags have been raised from the beginning that face mask usage has consequences, with no meaningful benefit.

Dr. Zacharias Fögen conducted a study to find out whether mandatory mask use influenced the COVID-19 case fatality rate in Kansas from August 1 to October 15, 2020.13 He chose the state of Kansas because, while it issued a mask mandate, counties were allowed to either opt in or out of it.

His analysis revealed that counties with a mask mandate had significantly higher case fatality rates than counties without a mask mandate. “These findings suggest that mask use might pose a yet unknown threat to the user instead of protecting them, making mask mandates a debatable epidemiologic intervention,” he concluded.

That threat, he explained, may be something called the “Foegen effect” — the idea that deep reinhalation of droplets and virions caught on facemasks might make COVID-19 infection more likely or more severe.

Fögen explained that wearing masks could end up increasing your overall viral load, because instead of exhaling virions from your respiratory tract and ridding your body of them, those virions are caught in the mask and returned. This might also have the effect of increasing the number of virions that pass through the mask, such that it becomes more than the number that would have been shed without a mask. According to Fögen:14

“The fundamentals of this effect are easily demonstrated when wearing a facemask and glasses at the same time by pulling the upper edge of the mask over the lower edge of the glasses. Droplets appear on the mask when breathing out and disappear when breathing in.

In the ‘Foegen effect,’ the virions spread (because of their smaller size) deeper into the respiratory tract. They bypass the bronchi and are inhaled deep into the alveoli, where they can cause pneumonia instead of bronchitis, which would be typical of a virus infection.

Furthermore, these virions bypass the multilayer squamous epithelial wall that they cannot pass into in vitro and most likely cannot pass into in vivo. Therefore, the only probable way for the virions to enter the blood vessels is through the alveoli.”

A 2021 report focused on health, safety and well-being of face mask usage15 further noted potential permanent physical damage to the lungs caused by fibrosis from inhalation of fibrous nanoparticles.

“There are real and significant dangers of respiratory infection, oral health deterioration and of lung injury, such as pneumothorax, owing to moisture build-up and also exposure to potentially harmful levels of an asphyxiant gas (carbon dioxide [CO2]) which can cause serious injury to health,” the authors explained.16

Masks Take an Extreme Psychological Toll

The physical repercussions are only one aspect to consider, as the psychological consequences of mask mandates are also severe. The journal Pediatrics recently highlighted the burden felt by parents, clinicians and patients in pediatric cancer wards when they were forced to wear masks.17

Hidden by face masks, clinicians felt powerless to display empathy and compassion during the most difficult conversations with their patients and their families. Wrote one clinician, who had to deliver devastating health news about the child of a friend:18

“My mask covered my expression. Perhaps the only way she could have known just how devastated I was to learn of this news was by the tears welling up in my eyes. My natural response was to wrap my arms around my friend and tell her everything would be okay. ‘I will help you, I will fix her, I will do everything in my power to make this go away.’

But how do I show you when my words are muffled by the mask? How can I softly share my words of condolence when I am struggling to catch enough air myself through the 3 layers of fabric? How does anyone break this kind of awful news with personal protective gear creating a barrier between doctor and patient?”

The children were also affected, as they couldn’t see their parents’ faces during a time when they needed them most. Wrote one parent:19

“When a policy change mandated that parents be masked 24/7 while in the hospital, my child was furious. She would rip the mask off my face and, if it was a paper mask, would pull off the strings so it could not be worn again. ‘I need to see my mommy’ she told me, along with ‘I need kisses to make me feel better and you can’t kiss me with a mask.’”

A 2021 psychology report20 also stated that masks are likely to be causing psychological harm to children and interfering with development.21 “The extent of psychological harm to young people is unknown,” the report stated, “due to the unique nature of the ‘social experiment’ currently underway in schools, and in wider society.”22

YouTube Now Lets You Say Masks Don’t Work

You may recall that countless public figures have been deplatformed by multiple social media and other online outlets for speaking out against the narrative, including the misguided notion that masks were useful for reducing COVID-19 cases.23 Indeed, it wasn’t long ago that even physicians who spoke out against mandatory masks were hunted down like a modern-day witch hunt.24

Now, it seems, YouTube has changed its tune, as it has updated its policies about what constitutes “misinformation.” Stating that “masks do not play a role in preventing the contraction or transmission of COVID-19,” or that “wearing a mask is dangerous or causes negative physical health effects,” was previously a violation of their policy,25 but this verbiage has since been removed from its examples of misinformation.

Other mask-related statements that have been removed from YouTube’s definition of misinformation include:26

  • Claims that wearing a mask causes oxygen levels to drop to dangerous levels
  • Claims that masks cause lung cancer or brain damage
  • Claims that wearing a mask gives you COVID-19

Curiously, while YouTube no longer classifies “claims that COVID-19 vaccines are not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 as misinformation,”27 “claims about COVID-19 vaccinations that contradict expert consensus from local health authorities or WHO” are still off limits.28

It’s also against YouTube’s guidelines to post “content alleging that vaccines cause chronic side effects” or “content claiming that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease,”29 — the latter being a blatant contradiction to their COVID-19 vaccine terms.

So, while YouTube now allows you to say masks don’t work, you still can’t contradict WHO on vaccines. Little by little, however, the truth will emerge, as is already occurring with face masks and their carcinogenic contents.

**Comment**

For anyone reading this website, you learned early on that masks don’t work and can make you sick.  They were never intended to be worn for long periods of time and while certain types of masks are useful for dust, chemicals, and other substances, they are worthless against viruses.  Worthless.

I personally know people who have been damaged by constant mask usage required by their employers.  Many had previous lung issues like asthma, and the constant re-breathing of their own breath has brought back lung issues they previously had under control.  They now need to see a pulmonologist and constantly struggle to breathe.

Lockdowns, especially for the healthy, are also completely worthless.  And while the CDC director has admitted it kinda botched COVID, she offers no meaningful change, only demands for more money from Congress, which it is getting on top of all the private money it receives.

For more:

The observational study used for masking by the CDC has been completely debunked, yet they refuse to update their guidelines with this information. The CDC has been caught lying repeatedly.  They’ve done similar things in Lymeland for over 40 years.  It is their MO.

Agency scientists are leaving in droves due to embarrassment about “bad science”, and bad health advice.  These scientists are gagged and when a reporter calls, the communications office has to approve the conversation – knowing beforehand exactly what the scientist is going to say.  Scientists have been exposing agency corruption for years.

The EPA has just launched community engagement efforts on warning of new ethylene oxide risk information.

Masks are “sterilized” with Ethylene Oxide — a known carcinogen. Many teachers in various school boards have been experiencing significant symptoms as a direct result of the effects of this chemical.
