Listen to a reading of this article:
❖
We are once again witnessing history being made, folks. Today, in the Year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-two, we get the great privilege of bearing witness to the single most American thing that has ever happened.
The Biden administration has asked top Democrats to decouple the federal government’s Covid relief spending package from its much larger bill for funding of the US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, because one of those two things is too controversial and contentious to pass quickly.
Guess which one.
NEW: President Biden has asked congressional leadership to decouple a Ukraine aid package from COVID relief money in an attempt to pass the aid for Ukraine without having to deal with thorny partisan opposition to the COVID relief funds, a Congressional source tells NBC News.
— Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) May 9, 2022
Politico reports:
Congressional Democratic leaders reached a bipartisan accord to send $39.8 billion to Ukraine to bolster its monthslong battle against a brutal Russian assault.
And that deal is now expected to move swiftly to President Joe Biden’s desk after Democrats agreed to drop another one of their top priorities — billions of dollars in pandemic aid that has stalled on the Hill. The Ukraine aid could come to the House floor for a vote as soon as Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the discussions who spoke candidly on condition of anonymity.
That nearly $40 billion worth of proxy war funding eclipses the paltry $10 billion in Covid relief funding that was being debated in congress, and is in fact well in excess of the already massive $33 billion sum requested by the White House.
“President Joe Biden and top Democrats have agreed to a GOP demand to disentangle a stalled COVID-19 response package from a separate supplemental request for military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine so the latter can move more quickly,” Roll Call reports. “At the same time, House and Senate Democrats have upped the price tag on the Ukraine package by $6.8 billion above Biden’s initial $33 billion request. Democrats proposed including an additional $3.4 billion for food aid and $3.4 billion more to replace U.S. military equipment sent to Ukraine, according to a source familiar with the offer.”
Biden initially requested $33 billion for Ukraine and $22.5 billion for Covid in an emergency funding bill; now Biden says he’s willing to sign off on $40 billion for Ukraine and $0 for Covid: https://t.co/U3yGtDiIYL

I defy you to find me anything more American than Washington decoupling relief for its own citizens from its proxy war funding because it wants to make sure the proxy war funding actually passes.
It’s almost too perfect. You couldn’t come up with a better summation of the US empire in a nutshell if you tried. Taking money away from needful Americans because congressional opposition to helping them so was putting too much inertia on Washington’s games of nuclear brinkmanship is the single most American thing that has ever happened.
There’s actually a real poetic beauty to it, if you look close enough. The government which runs a globe-spanning empire is dubious about the need to help its own citizenry recover from an economy-flattening pandemic, but throws its full bipartisan support behind a proxy war which threatens the life of every living organism.
That’s it. That’s the whole entire point I wanted to make here. It’s so insane you’ll cry if you don’t laugh. And we’ll always have those little moments of laughter. Even if these psychos get us all killed.

Awesome.
ANOTHER WORLDVIEW IS POSSIBLE:
Preservatives such as thimerosal aren’t, and weren’t, used with attenuated vaccines. The two main inactivated whole virus COVID vaccines, from Sinovac and Sinopharm, contain no preservatives.
For someone who writes so much about vaccines, you seem to have many basic misconceptions about what they are, what they contain, and how they work.
SVAY – For someone who gets paid to propagandize about vaccines – you sure don’t seem to know much about them.

During the past 20 years, the frequency of autism occurring in children has skyrocketed from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 68, and the scientific community is no closer to determining a cause. Trace Amounts is the true story of Eric Gladen’s painful journey through mercury poisoning that he believes resulted from a thimerosal-loaded tetanus shot. His discoveries led him on a quest for the scientific truth about the role of mercury poisoning in the Autism epidemic.
.
After recovering from a sickness that would bring him to the edge of despair, Eric Gladen began researching the science behind what had made him so sick. His research led him straight into one of the biggest medical debates of all time, the question of whether or not childhood vaccines are causing Autism. He would end up quitting his career, moving into an RV, and traveling the country interviewing experts and piecing together thousands of studies and leaked documents. But Eric wasn’t focused on the vaccines themselves, he was focused on something that belongs nowhere near vaccines — mercury.
.
From the Mad Hatter Syndrome in the late 1800’s, to Pink Disease in the first half of the 20th to the Iraqi Grain Incident in the early 1970’s, humans have learned time and again of the debilitating neurological and physical damage that mercury can cause. Then why and how did it end up in our childhood vaccines? Trace Amounts explores the origin of the use of mercury in the vaccines and exposes the continued greed based decision to keep mercury in the vaccines through several decades. Trace Amounts is the result of nearly a decade of research and travel, in which top scientists, government officials, parents of children with Autism, and the average Joe unravel the truths, secrets, and tragedies, of the skyrocketing Autism rates.
.
Could a tragedy, which brought one of the greatest nations to its knees, and stole a generation of children, have been avoided?
There are two types of mercury – ethyl mercury and methyl mercury. Thimerosal (also spelled thiomersal in some places) is ethyl mercury. Ethyl mercury is cleared quickly from the human body, whereas methyl mercury (the kind of mercury used in thermometers, in industrial applications and now found in some fish, such as tuna) stays in the body for longer and can thus accumulate.
Also, mercury poisoning has very distinct symptoms, none of which resemble autism in any way.
Finally, virtually no vaccines – and as far as I am aware, no child vaccines at all – contain thimerosal/thiomersal nowadays. Although there was no scientific evidence whatsoever that it caused any harm, vaccine manufacturers removed it from vaccines because it was being used as an excuse by anti-vaccine campaigners. Some, very few, multi-dose vials of flu vaccines contain thimerosal as a preservative, but I don’t think any other vaccines do.
So, no, thimerosal/thiomersal in vaccines did not cause mercury poisoning; did not cause autism; and in virtually not used in vaccines anymore, in any case.
You’re free to decide not to be vaccinated, but don’t base your arguments on mercury in vaccines, because you will be wrong.
Please provide peer-reviewed scientific evidence, to support your claim that Ethyl Mercury clears quickly from the body. It passes the blood brain barrier easily. It’s reportedly MORE toxic than Methyl Mercury, not less. And the Methyl studies and approved levels, are based on incomplete absorption through digestion – not direct injection which is 100%. There don’t appear to be any Ethyl Mercury studies done.
.
If you had bothered to watch the movie linked above – you’d see a healthy adult who developed the symptoms of autism, after receiving an injection which included Thimerosol. Twice.
.
That is evidence. Anecdotal, perhaps – but Evidence, nonetheless. I encourage you to spend the time it takes to watch the movie – made by a VACCINE INJURED person – who was not an “Anti-Vaxxer”, at least, not prior to that point.
.
Repeating Bromides and industry propaganda, without regard to the scientific evaluations of the (lack of) merits of those arguments sounds like to me like you could be endangering public health, by spreading “MDM”.
.
Please explain the skyrocketing rates of autism, from the 1930’s, to now. That’s the one thing that the defenders of Thimerosol can never do. Instead they spend their time attacking the names and reputations of any Scientists who speak out.
.
The movie covers the dishonest campaign against Andrew Wakefield. Perhaps listening to the arguments on the other side, and viewing the testimony of those who’ve been injured, will expand your ability to see the evidence that’s right before your eyes – should you choose to open them.
@Another Worldview:
Thimerosal is not used in childhood vaccines and has not been for twenty years. If rates of autism are still rising, why is that, when thimerosal has not been used in childhood (or indeed, the majority of) vaccines for the past two decades?
We’d have to look at the charts to ascertain that the rates HAVE kept rising. But the schedule of required vaccines for school attendance has exploded, to something like 40, now. And thanks to Corrupt, Fascist Foot soldiers for BigPfharma and WEF/WHO, like Senator Richard Pan – there’s almost no exemptions allowed.
Flu jabs can contain it. And despite the fact that they DO NOT WORK, they’re on the schedule, too now… aren’t they? So I think you’re being a bit quick to assume that kids aren’t still being exposed to that neurotoxin.
And still – nobody can explain the massive increase in autism… And improved diagnosis can’t account for the kinds of increases that we’ve seen.
If you’d WATCH THE FILM – you’d see a mother who was strong-armed into getting a Thimerosol laden flu shot, while pregnant. And I guess you’re going to claim, that her kid being autistic, is just a coincidence… But someof us are going to operate upon the precautionary principle – until these questions are answered convincingly.
Thimerosal IS still used in childhood vaccines, though not in the USA.https://www.medindia.net/doctors/drug_information/thimerosal.htm
Tetanus shots aren’t attenuated virus vaccines. Preservatives such as thimerosal aren’t, and weren’t, used with attenuated vaccines. They were, and in some cases still are, used in other types of vaccines, or in their production.
Did I say that Tetanus injections were an attenuated virus vaccine?
.
What is the MMR vaccine (as if there were oy one type)?
.
Please provide a link to someone whom I can trust who says that Thimerosol was NEVER used in any attenuated virus vaccines.
.
Your word alone, is worth less than nothing.
You did reply to my observation that thimerosal isn’t and wasn’t used in attenuated vaccines with “Trace Amounts is the true story of Eric Gladen’s painful journey through mercury poisoning that he believes resulted from a thimerosal-loaded tetanus shot.” If you didn’t think tetanus shots are attenuated vaccines, what was the point of mentioning them?
.
(You also wrote, earlier, “we could just have gone about the task of creating an old-school attenuated virus vaccine from it. Then we could have toxified the recipients with Thimerosol”, which strongly suggests you thought attenuated vaccines contain, or contained, thimerosal.)
.
The MMR vaccine is an attenuated live virus vaccine, and it has never contained thimerosal.
.
As for links you might trust, I suspect you’d automatically distrust the CDC, FDA, vaccine manufacturers and anyone in academia, so that’s a rather tall order. If you do trust any of them, you can easily check for yourself.
If you’d actually watched the documentary about Thimerosol – “Trace Amounts” – you would KNOW that you’re lying. MMR vaccines HAVE contained Thimerosol in the past.
And just because the documentarian was adversely affected by the Thimerosol in a Tetanus vaccine – if you’d have watched the documentary, you’d know that the film is about more than just his personal experience. It includes the testimonials and cases, of LOTS of different vaccine injury victims, and connects those to the different vaccines that injured them.
You’re absolutely correct in assuming I haven’t watched ‘Trace Amounts’. However, various sources state that thimerosal has never been used in the MMR vaccines.
“Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines do not and never did contain thimerosal.”
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/thimerosal/index.html
“Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) and live viral vaccines, such as measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), varicella, and oral polio vaccine (OPV) do not contain, and have never contained, thimerosal.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK223724/
“Some other vaccines, including the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR), do not and did not ever contain thimerosal or any preservative. Varicella (chickenpox), inactivated polio (IPV), and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have also never contained thimerosal.”
https://dph.illinois.gov/topics-services/prevention-wellness/immunization/thimerosal-vaccines-q-a.html
I could go on, but I expect you disbelieve all these sources anyway.
You’re correct – I’m skeptical of all of those sources, generally. But since MMR doesn’t appear to be an attenuated virus vaccine, what of Flu vaccines. Check with your handlers, and ask them about those. Because we KNOW that Flu vaxx can contain Thimerosol. If that’s an attenuated Virus vaccine – then your point is disproven, conclusively.
And BTW – WTF is wrong with you. Fo you intentionally refuse to look at any evidence that might expose the lies that you peddle, to be just that?
.
I gave you a link – to a FREE MOVIE.
.
All it would cost you, is the time that it takes to view it.
.
That and the risk of having your illusions shattered. If you believe so strongly in the cause that you spend endless hours promoting, here (and elsewhere, I must assume) – then perhaps you should examine the evidence that you’re just assuming is incorrect – and prepare some counter-arguments…instead just blanket rejections, baseless denial, and hand-waving.
@Another Worldview:
I’m replying here, instead of to your later post, because the way this page displays responses makes them very difficult to read.
Take a look at this paper on ethyl mercury (thimerosal) and methyl mercury:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21252391/
There are many, many similar studies that show that ethyl mercury is found at a low level following vaccination with a vaccine containing thimerosal, and that the amount decreases rapidly following vaccination, in contrast with levels of methyl mercury (as is found in fish, for example).
Even when a vaccine contains thimerosal, it contains about 1/1000th of a mL (or 0.001mL) of thimerosal per shot of vaccine, which is a minute amount.
If people eat tinned fish, they would get far, far more mercury (methyl mercury, the kind that accumulates) from eating a tuna sandwich or tuna bake, than from a vaccine shot.
So perhaps you’re looking at the wrong things.
Thimerosal isn’t used with ANY vaccine.
https://www.medindia.net/doctors/drug_information/thimerosal.htm
Citations needed. Thimerosol is a vaccine preservative.
https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/safety-availability-biologics/thimerosal-and-vaccines#table
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf
But that’s for vaccines in the US; elsewhere, thimerosal is still used in other vaccines.
The links that you included speak to the present production – not historical use, nor stocks on hand. Nor do the various charts delineate which vaccines are attenuated virus formulations.
Your copy-pasta syllogisms fail to prove your point.
And that FDA document that you linked, is thoroughly debunked by the Documentary, that you clearly didn’t watch. Ethyl Mercury, used in Thimerosol, isn’t analogous to the Methyl Mercury that the FDA has studied. In fact it’s 50× more dangerous – and it’s directly injected, as opposed to being absorbed through digestion.
Mercury AND Aluminum are dangerous – particularly to growing children – and cross the blood-brain barrier, readily.
CAL LAWRENCE claimed “Thimerosal isn’t used with ANY vaccine.”
The links I provided relate to that. You’re quite correct in saying they “speak to the present production – not historical use.”
You’re also correct about the charts not showing which vaccines are attenuated virus vaccines. That’s easy enough to look up.
I’m not surprised ‘Trace Amounts’ claims to debunk the FDA’s information. I did expect you’d disbelieve anything from academia, vaccine manufacturers, or health authorities.
So you’re expecting ME – TO PROVE YOUR ARGUMENTS? I think your understanding of burden of proof is substantially lacking.
And had you actually shown any intellectual curiousity – you would find that there is academic and FDA source materials used – to debunk the Big Vaxx/Big Pfharma/FDA Propaganda nexus, at several places within the film.
The filmmaker shows how their own studies revealed real-world harms – which were then minimized by the shifting of various goalposts, ex post facto – and the paying-off of a researcher, to keep redoing his studies, until those harms could be minimized, rationalized, and ignored.
I’m not expecting you to do anything, though it’s interesting that you seem to expect me to watch an hour-and-a-half film, while you appear to balk at looking up which type a vaccine is.
.
The film may well expose harm done by vaccines which was covered up, and it may well be right in some instances. I rather doubt it used academic or FDA sources to show that thimerosal was or is used in live attenuated vaccines.
.
And I’m somewhat surprised that you’re arguing this point at all. CAL said thimerosal isn’t used in any vaccines. You asked for citations, and I provided a couple that clearly show it is still used, in addition to the one in my direct reply to CAL. You’re surely not now claiming thimerosal isn’t used anywhere, so what’s your point?
My point is that YOU raised the issue of Thimerosol, as an attempted strawman, by latching on to a throw-away comment, to avoid addressing the larger issues in that same comment, and diverting discussion to an area where you could what look to be mendacious claims. Claims which I called you upon – and when challenged, you’ve refused to back-up, now after being given several opportunities.
Your doubts are irrelevant, and rooted in an ignorant “contempt prior to investigation”. It’s a good documentary. If you want to argue otherwise (with any credibility) you’ll need to spend the hour and a half, it takes to watch it – and whatever time you want to invest towards investigation and “debunking”… But it’s all solid material, so that would be a more significant investment of time, if you were going to start making honest critiques and assertions.
I’ve no idea which flying monkey farm Cal was released from. But disproving his obvious lies (with one link) doesn’t make you a truth teller. I’ve caught you lying on several occasions. When I ask you direct questions – you usually ignore them – as you did with the question about Flu vaccines.
The chart you supplied doesn’t denote which kind of vaccine each one is. So if you want to prove your point – ask your supervisors to supply you with a breakdown from BigPfharma, identifying each vaccine by type, and whether any formulation has ever included Thimerosol. I’m not going to waste my tome trying to prove the questionable claims, of a professional disinformer.
I provided several links to back up my statements about thimerosal. If you want to know which vaccines are which type, it’s very quick and easy to find out. If ‘Trace Amounts’ cites academic and FDA sources that say thimerosal has been used in attenuated vaccines, why not tell us what those sources are? And here’s a link that helps explain why it isn’t used in such vaccines:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X16300901?via%3Dihub
To summarise, preservatives, including thimerosal, greatly reduced the vaccine’s stability, rendering it useless after just one month.
.
You may consider your original comment ‘throwaway’. I consider it clearly designed to wrongly imply thimerosal is used in attenuated vaccines, and stoke fear with its talk of graphene oxide and so on.
I learned “shitlib” from you, and I think that while the righties may simply be cynical greedy warmongers the shitlibs genuinely believe massive federal funding = going to happen, so I think that’s how they see this. For them, centralized government coercion and control is the way things happen, and there is no problem the government cannot spend into solution. For shitlibs, $40 billion really is the price to be paid so that Ukrainians can crush the Russian beast. I was wondering what was going to happen when once again government money didn’t equal results, and decided we would move on to the next massive waste of money, assuming we aren’t all annihilated. But I laughed out loud at your post following, especially the last bit.
Since the closing days of World War Two the US Military Industrial Complex has profited from widespread killing and the destruction of resources. Since the cold war evaporated in 1991 they’ve invested profitably in new proxy wars in Latin America, the Middle and Far East, Africa etc. Huge quantities of capital have been invested in warfare by the capital owning class everywhere.
With the restoration of unbridled capitalism on the disintegration of Stalinism in the former USSR, capitalism found a new if final expansion opportunity to deploy its competitive exploitation of people and material as never before. But this process has now resulted in the ultimate exhaustion of its economic potential. Unresolvable indebtedness now cripples growth while inflation destablises currencies through uncontrollable inflation (value deflation).
This is the context for the Putin Invasion of Ukraine as much as for the NATO proxy wars. But Putin is an oligarcic capitalist just as much as Elon Musk and the handful of families who jointly own capitalism and who hold the rest of the world to ransom. this will involve sacking and replacing the administrative colaborationists of the right and far right, In the US, in Russia, in the UK and Europe and everywhere. People will become emboldened by the reaisation they have the right to self determination at every level – community, regionally, nationally and industrially. We will build a new realm democracy unfettered by the greedy rich and those fifth columns which defend their hegemony.
The only way forward for humanity is to face these truths and begin the process of articulating an alternative method of meeting humanities needs in harmony with nature. This will involve superceding the profit-based business models and developing a viable not-for-profit mode of production, distribution, and exchange, as has been done in the past.
Keep up the good work of contributing to these thought processes for progress, Caitlin. There’s much to be done.
I’m here to correct a persistent myth regarding money and the afterlife. It’s been a commonly-held belief that “you can’t take it with you.” Actually, you can – but only to hell.
Thanks for this! I’ve been picturing Anthony Fauci dragging enormous gunny sacks of his ill-gotten gains with him when he’s on his way to hell! It will take 100 gunny sacks to buy one cool drink.
Appears to me that THE WEST (M.I.C.) seems very confident atm, oddly confident. Perhaps because they have engineered ‘timed release’ internal uprisings/revolutions within both RUSSIA and CHINA, planned for longer than most would have guessed. Like an OPERATION GLADIO type method. Maybe this explains why ,currently, nukes don’t seem to be an issue/deterrent? THE WEST may not believe they will be used in this type of NWO strategy? The mysterious mutating cooties19 virus would obviously assist in this type of scenario, as it seems to be doing in China, over the last couple of months in particular. There has to be a logical reason why nukes are being minimized as a global destruction threat. Otherwise, the WEST may have secret laser defenses to neutralize launched hyper-sonic missiles? Or, THE WEST is simply playing a game of bluff to make the enemy surrender, that could obviously backfire, so I doubt they’d take that risk? Although, all the major powers would have advanced computer A.I. strategies used to second guess their oppositions likely moves, A.I. trying to outmaneuver rival A.I. Human behavior would be very well (probably completely) understood today, global internet usage has given the intel agencies a complete understanding of all the personality types, where everyone’s behavior can be predicted to highly likely probabilities. It’s weird to think that the major powers likely know just how far their rivals are prepared to go, to the death? To the edge of death?
Inflation is running rampant. My electric bill is 15% higher than last year though I am using fewer kilowatt hours…strictly because they jacked up the rates. Just like the yearly increases in cable rates and every freaking form of insurance.

Of course, Uncle Joe needs to pass around the hat to take up a collection for the Ukrainian Nazis. Maybe we could cut support to all levels of education as well as all that needless medical care. Just like dead children, Nazis are worth it, are they not?
~
And, why are we not drafting our young people to go fight in Ukraine for all that “glory” Zelensky is Sellinginsky to us? “Slava Ukraini” supposedly means “glory to Ukraine” to the assholes born into that culture. Means “slaves of Ukraine” to Americans. Also means more graft for the “Big Guy” and his grifter son. Where DO they get all those photos of the unkempt slob passed out from his latest hit of rock cocaine? Somebody do the maths and calculate the Big Guy’s cut of this latest $40 billion piece of action.

Your day is coming, Joe, and you are too stupified with dementia to even realise it. It will happen, not from fucking over the people once too often (you hold a gun to our heads 24/7 and we have no recourse, just ask the schmucks who served as patsies for the 6 January “insurrection”), but from the ire of the transnational mega-corporations when they go bankrupt (or at least have a bad quarter) from the country’s coming economic collapse. You get to play the official role of “Emanuel Goldstein,” asswipe.

Joe and Jill went up the Hill to fetch a pail of lucre.

The nazi debate could be a red herring actually. What is never debated behind their kind of blanket AOC is the Ukrainian oligarchs. Musing through their Wikipedia entries is quite fun. Half of them are on the run half the time and/or live abroad in fiscally friendly places with my favourite probably being Number 6, Serhiy Kurchenko, whose asset were frozen by the EU in 2014 and replied to the accusations with an oxymoron: “I am an honest Ukrainian businessman”.
Number 3, Dmytro Firtash has been accused several times of being in cahoots with Semyon Mogilevich who (Wikipedia) “is described by agencies in the European Union and United States as the “boss of bosses” of most Russian Mafia syndicates in the world, is believed to direct a vast criminal empire and is described by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as “the most dangerous mobster in the world.””
Sounds like the guy depicted in Denzel Washington’s 2014 movie The Equalizer.
And then we have Number 4, Ihor Kolomoisky, Zelensky’s saint patron who made him play president on one of his TV channels and then entered him in the real world presidential race that he won in a landslide as the peace candidate before doing a U-turn – old Ihor has industrial interests in the Donbass and finances the Azov Battalion.
Fasten your seatbelt. Wikipedia: “In April 2021, Kolomoyskyi and his wife and children were banned from entering the US. The USDS accused him of corruptly using his time as Governor of Dnipropetrovsk to personally enrich himself. He was “involved in corrupt acts that undermined rule of law and the Ukrainian public’s faith in their government’s democratic institutions and public processes, including using his political influence and official power for his personal benefit.” In his statement, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: “While this designation is based on acts during his time in office, I also want to express concern about Kolomoyskyy’s current and ongoing efforts to undermine Ukraine’s democratic processes and institutions, which pose a serious threat to its future”.
Behind these amusing gesticulations, the USG would therefore logically support these guys as natural business partners in the name of freedom and democracy :o)
The Nazis are in Moscow, and in the Republican Party.
The Republican Party? Sure, along with an equal abundance in the Democratic Party.

In Moscow? They gave it their best effort for der Fuerher in 1942, but the only ones who stayed have rested silently in their graves ever since.
For the record – spending on “Covid” – is NEVER about “relief for the American people”. Enriching Big Pfharma, and creating a more Totalitarian National/Bio-Security State, only advances the goals laid out by David Rockefeller, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab and Tedros Adhominem (the Eritrean Terrorist and WHO chief) – none of whom are actually Doctors, or really concerned with people’s health – and it does nothing to ease the suffering of Americans. Just like sending more weapons to Nazis, does nothing to help ordinary Ukrainians.
That’s the disconnect. There’s enough concern about the unpopularity of Biden’s Genocidal “Covid” strategy, that even some Democrats are concerned with the optics on that. So far, support for the Puppet-regime in Kiev is largely unwavering, particularly amongst the BlueAnon faithful. And across the aisle – well aside from Rand Paul… who’s really complaining – about wasteful military spending, and another potentially disasterous war for Monopolar Hegemonic Global Empire?
Putin has the same strategy. So weird that he wants to genocide his own people, wouldn’t he be better off if they were alive and paying taxes?
Putin is WEF Psychopath School Graduate. It’s hard to say what’s on his mind. Though it should also be noted that his mRNA Jabs are produced in Russia. The Adverse Events and long-term survival rates aren’t as readily available there as they are in Israel, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, or even here – where the CDC ADMITS to censoring and manipulations of the data.
There may be some supranational agendas, that he has no choice but to comply with. This writer lives in Russia and rights about the contradictions inherent in Russian Covid policies.

One thing is certain. The Human Medical Experimentation mRNA injections are deadly in their own right – and have NEGATIVE EFFECTIVENESS versus the BioWeaponized virus and it’s later variations. Natural Immunity, is the safest and longest lasting kind of immunity, and is more likely to work across the various mutations, whether natural, or man-made and released subsequently.
And this disease is also easily treated, using cheap, safe and effective chemotherapies, already widely available. The Fareed-Tyson protocol successfully treated over 7,000 patients, with 0 deaths. FLCCC.net has several successful protocols as well. Dr. Vladimir Zelenko has a protocol that worked quite well, in a Chasidic community in upstate NY.
Ventilators and Remdesivir are killers. Isolation from loved ones doesn’t help patients. This is a highly survivable virus, and the panic created around it, and the LOCKSTEP/Event201 policies already in place and waiting for its release were the true dangers.
What COVID RNA jabs are produced in Russia?
They only have one that I know of… Sputnik V, I think they call it.
Sputnik V is not an mRNA-based vaccine.
https://sputnikvaccine.com/about-vaccine/
It uses an adenovirus vector (actually two, apparently) to insert cytotoxic Spike protein mRNA into your cells… So, despite the lack of PEG nanoparticles – it does seem to be an mRNA vaccine.
.
J&J uses a similar technology – and has still been shown to kill people.
.
Meanwhile, the risk from the virus(es) remains exceedingly low – particularly when knowledgeable doctors, are allowed to treat infected patients, properly.
Neither Sputnik V nor the Janssen COVID vaccines insert any RNA into cells.
So you don’t understand how EITHER adenovirus vaccines actually works, then?
Viruses insert RNA into your cells on a regular basis – that’s how they reproduce. The idea behind those adenovirus vaccines is to hijack that natural process, in order to make your cells produce something un-natural – in this case, cytotoxic spike protiens under the false assumption that immunity to a given spike protein, is the same thing as immunity to the virus. Which isn’t automatically true, because subsequent variants, have variations in the spike proteins.
.
But at least you get damage from autoimmune disorders..
.

Adenoviruses contain no RNA, so they can’t and don’t insert any into cells. I’d suggest you check your sources, except they’re probably as ill-informed as you. No doubt you’ll say Wikipedia is nothing but WEF Anglo-Zionist eugenecist propaganda, but all the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenoviridae
(You need read no further than the first sentence.)
Viruses are either DNA viruses, or RNA viruses. Adenoviruses it appears are in the former not the latter category… But the Adenovirus-based “Covid vaccines” – are using the protein coat of an Adenovirus – to insert mRNA coded to cause YOUR CELLS, to create cytotoxic Spike proteins.
.
So that small correction about wild Adenoviruses, aside – what I said was correct. The link that you posted, from up the page, about Sputnik V – has specific information and graphics, which I believe you’re going to find, confirms this …
.
And btw – the “Safe and Effective” J&J shots are no longer being widely recommended… If they’re so “safe” – and work so well… Why would that be? Thrombocytopenia might be part of it.
.
Here’s a question…why are whistles suddenly giving healthy athletes heart attacks? Did they just start using whistles?
.
Why are embalmers suddenly seeing massive blood clotting in the corpses that they work upon? Aside from mass dispensed, Human Medical Experimentation Gene Therapy injections, without adequate long term testing, or animal studies… What changed?
From what i can see, Putin is just trying to reach the “multipolar world” goal. He is still far from reaching that but so far not making major mistakes.
For those small countries who dream of true independence that would be kind of an improvement.
In 1986, Tedros received a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of Asmara.[14] He studied at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and was awarded a Master of Science degree in immunology of infectious diseases from the University of London in 1992.[6][15][8] In 2000, he earned a Doctor of Philosophy in community health from the University of Nottingham for research on the effects of dams on malaria transmission in the Tigray region.

So, two postgrauate degrees, including a doctorate, in clearly health-related areas.
How nice to see that the Bill Gates PR Team is here, to have Tedros’ back.
.
So he’s NOT an MD, is what I hear you saying… So do BA’s, MS’s and PhD’s in Philosophy swear an Oath of Hippocrates? How about College dropout Eugenicists like Bill Gates? What of Nazi Scions, like Klaus Schwab…when we build back better…does that mean more effective Technocratic Totalitarian Panopticon societies, and death camps?
You seem to have a lot of faith in oaths.
I have faith that people of conscience who swear them, will usually intend to live by them. But of course, that’s not ALWAYS the case. Fauci has sworn that oath – and then murdered AIDS patients with AZT. He even poisoned children in an orphanage, called the Incarnation Childrens’ Center. He and the other doctors involved in that cruel and merciless project clearly voided any oaths that they took about their duties to patients. But I’d like to think that perfidious psychopaths like that are the exception, and not the rule.
.
But the point is that the people who’ve been advancing this plan for Global Depopulation/Population Control – haven’t even sworn to “primum non nocere”. I’m not sure what oaths these people have sworn – but if they have sworn any that they’re adhering to, it would probably about not revealing whatever secrets that they’re privy to – as opposed to ones about helping patients.
And have you sworn any oaths yourself? If not, may we conclude anything about your propensity to ‘primum nocere’?
You can evaluate my actions based upon the available evidence, and compare what I’ve written to real world events and incoming data – just like you WOULD BE – with the Globalist gang for Genocide and Technocratic Totalitarianism – if you weren’t so busy $hilling.
I’ve adopted the ethics of robust and investigative Journalism – though sadly there’s no common oath for people in that profession,which is why the CIA and MI-6 have such ease in hijacking it – frequently using it like an Adenovirus virus, inject the kind of virulent bullshit into people’s brains, which then hijacks their internal processes to reproduce that virulent bullshit, occasionally mutated slightly, by some original thoughts of their own. You seem to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology.
.
I, by contrast, demonstrate a robust and broad spectrum immunity to that kind of virulent bullshit.
This is the oath that I took:
.
“In radio broadcasting operations to engage in any activity that shall contribute to a lasting understanding between nations and between the individuals of all nations, races, creeds and colors; to gather and disseminate information on the causes of conflict between any and all of such groups; and through any and all means compatible with the purposes of this corporation to promote the study of political and economic problems and of the causes of religious, philosophical and racial antagonisms.
In radio broadcasting operations to promote the full distribution of public information; to obtain access to sources of news not commonly brought together in the same medium; and to employ such varied sources in the public presentation of accurate, objective, comprehensive news on all matters vitally affecting the community.”
https://pacifica.org/about_mission.php
Your stubborn insistence that adenoviruses contain RNA which they inject into cells leads me to the evaluation that there’s something seriously wrong with you or your sources. Either that, or the entire scientific establishment has been mistaken, or engaged in a worldwide disinformation campaign, for decades, while you are privy to the truth. (I notice the FLCCC don’t think adenoviruses are RNA viruses: have they too been duped, or are they part of the conspiracy?) Do you have any kind of source for your repeated claim, or was it your own discovery?
Have you never made an error?
.
I’m not an Adenovirus expert. But I see that you CANNOT deny that Adenovirus Vector Vaccines for Covid – are injecting Spike protein mRNA into people’s cells – exactly the way that I suggested.
.
I’ll ignore your trivia, and strawmen – and take that as an earned admission and an easy W.
I do deny that adenovirus vector vaccines inject any RNA, whether spike protein mRNA or any other sort, into people’s cells. They are DNA viruses, and contain no RNA.
So then you admit that you don’t really understand the very premise, upon which they’re claimed to work. Go check the Sputnik V link that YOU provided. They explain it in simple terms.
How would an Adenovirus even produce immunity to a coronavirus – without the Spike protein mRNA!?!? It would only produce immunity to Adenoviruses.
You’ve done this before, as I recall – claiming for instance that these vaccines weren’t a novel technology, and that mRNA technology had been in use for decades. Both points being untrue, and acknowledged by the makers, and schemers like Bill Gates. Despite their claims that mRNA biological products can’t affect your DNA on a permanent basis – we now have in vitro evidence from a Swedish study which shows that can. And of course, Klaus Schwab has also said as much, publicly.
And there’s still the question of who isolated and purified Covid-19 – because so far, nobody has been able to establish that’s even occurred. Instead we somehow have a computerized sequence for the Spike protein, that was already being distributed for production, in November of 2019…
Had someone isolated and purified the virus (aside from the US BioWeapons Lab where it was created) then we could just have gone about the task of creating an old-school attenuated virus vaccine from it. Then we could have toxified the recipients with Thimerosol – instead of Graphene Oxide and Hydroxide, and nanoparticles of PEG.
.”The gene from adenovirus, which causes the infection, is removed while a gene with the code of a protein from another virus spike is inserted. This inserted element is safe for the body but still helps the immune system to react and produce antibodies, which protect us from the infection.”
The petro dollar “sustaining the US” is about to be totally ‘Washed’ out from under us. In the meantime, the Biden regime is MMTing Ukraine while leaving Americans in the ditch. Washington D.C. is now “Wash in Ukraine”.,..is there any accounting for MMT? Taxpayers may get the bill, but the government may collapse to the NWO before you get a chance to pay. As in, “you will own nothing and be happy”.
The “Biden regime” is doing everything in their power to STOP ideas like MMT from spreading, and MMT is the main reason they are fighting a proxy war in the Urkaine.
MMT is a threat that must be smashed by the neo-liberal global order once and for all, that is what this is all about.
Private banking (the entire West) vs public banking (MMT), and it so important to the former that MMT never get a foothold anywhere, they are willing to start WWIII to prevent it.
And they will do so, should it come to it.
You have either been absorbed by those same neo-liberal globalists, or you working for them..
Hopefully it is latter, because why work for them for free?
The most interesting thread in my 65 days here, because it truly shows the power of our propaganda. MMT, which is the antithesis of the current global banking system, is being blamed for the failures of that system, and apparently, people are buying this hook, line and interest bearing sinker.
Also, this is the first time I’ve had a comment “disappeared.” I am certain our host had nothing to with this, so make of THAT what you will.
I take back my “disappeared” accusation. My comment has reappeared. Very strange. A glitch in the Matrix perhaps.
But I don’t take back that this has been the most interesting thread I’ve been a part of at CaitlinJohnstone.com.
MMT could be taught at the kindergarten level using marbles, and yet it is beyond the ken of almost everyone.
This is by design, I believe. If you had a printing press, and no one else did, which is what neo-liberal globalists have in the Fed, would you give it up without a fight?
Note: Even excellent minds such as Andrei Martyanov have mumbled bad things about MMT.
Fallen into the kindergarten trap.
Hey Andrei, what do you think is about? Mother Russia lost 27 million killed* fighting neo-liberal globalists, and they might lost 150 million more here shortly to those same “folks.” Wake up son. Nothing has changed.
This is still about private banking vs public banking, and NOTHING else.
*Why do you think Ike stopped short of Berlin in ’45? To bleed you white on behalf of PRIVATE bankers.
I take back my take back. The comment I referred to has disappeared again.
My Consipiracy Theory antennae are not tingling, at least not yet.
But just for conspiracy nutjob shits and giggles, I will point out that only two US Presidents have dared to print money, and they were both shot in the head.
JFK, and Abraham Lincoln. Is this a coincidence?
Probably.
F. William Engdahl’s “Gods of Money” casts some shits-and-giggles light on the subject.
What put me off MMT was other people here in the UK that were <> that the government was *already* utilising MMT which is plainly wrong. MMT theory has what I’m after, i.e., public banking instead of private banking. The crucial part is not to apply interest rates to a loan of money whether the government or the bankers are doing it. Any interest rate is usury as it inexorably leads to a culture of pure slavery & ecocide misery. However, the government won’t do the really necessary thing so it’s up to us, The People. There’s lots to talk about. Involve everybody. This is so important. We’re now at the precipice but we needn’t go over it unless by choice…
Missing word is *insisting*. Sorry.
I don’t think MMT rules out interest on loans, as you seem to imply.
If that is the case then I denounce it. For a government to charges us interest on the loan of freshly created money from thin air it becomes foolish and absurd in the extreme. Interest rates must be abolished. The Bradbury Pound of 1914 https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/46238 had no interest whatsoever attached to it.
You wrote “The crucial part is not to apply interest rates to a loan of money whether the government or the bankers are doing it. Any interest rate is usury.” Which seems to mean any loan, and any interest rate, not just interest paid on freshly created money. MMT says the latter is unnecessary, but I think many of its proponents would see interest on other loans as a good thing, in moderation. Being able to borrow at no cost would lead to all manner of problems. The point is, as MMTers see it, that governments with control of their currency don’t need to borrow money in the first place.
“The point is, as MMTers see it, that governments with control of their currency don’t need to borrow money in the first place.” Quite agree with them.
Personally, I believe in mathematics. It becomes very clear what happens with exponential growth that’s very slow initially but inexorably becomes runaway in a mad dash to infinity. Like many before me I vehemently oppose any interest rate being levied upon the loan of money. All interest-rates equate to usury. There’s no in-between. By the same token one can’t take half a train ride or be a little bit pregnant. This might be an hour or so long but is one of the most wonderfully enlightening videos I’ve seen on the subject of exponential growth. It is here: https://youtu.be/O133ppiVnWY
Perhaps after watching it you’ll see why exponential growth is so dangerous. It’s why the banksters are now in a headlong rush to get their miserable new CBDC transaction system on the go before their whole show goes up in smoke.
“MMT could be taught at the kindergarten level”
I studied Economics at school, and found (the expanation of) money creation hard to get my head around. They magic a liability into existence, and since every asset is a liaility, they now have an asset, which becomes a deposit, which magics into blah blah blah.
MMT says a government issuing its own currency can simply spend money, thereby creating it, and tax it when it wants to destroy it. (And I think MMT says the US government not only can do this, but, when you look closely at the process, actually does do this, though of course with the overlay of incurring debt.) How much simpler and easy to understand!
Reply to John Thomas:
Agree.
The problem is the name, Modern Monetary Theory, which allows the Fed/Wall Street Neo-liberal Complex to easily conflate MMT with the fincancial wizardy that they are so adept at.
Calling it Public Banking for the Commons would solve the problem I think, but there are a lot of great thinkers who have invested much of their lives trying to elucidate to a wider audience what Modern Monetar Theory is.
Bill Mitchell from Australia, for instance, is not only one of the best, he is certainly in the argument as the theory’s most voluminous writer.
http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/
Someone has to create money, that’s just the way it is in a modern, complex, global environment, we are not hunter-gatherers anymore, and it can be either governments doing it debt free if they wish, or money can be created by the most pathelogical motherfuckers evolution has brought forth so far on this planet.
Those are the choices.
“Public Banking for the Commons” Excellent! Clear! Does what it says on the tin!
I would like to try and add onto this insanity:
I defy you to find a single, average Ukrainian, who has received even one cent of foreign aid from those packages.
And one more:
Considering, that those funds will be split between arms manufacturers (obviously), banks (because the “humanitarian” relief is so that the Ukraine can pay back their debt) and a bit for some ukrainian oligarchs (one of the most corrupt countries worldwide, mind you), do you think americans will be more outraged or actually less, since at least that money stays in the US?
It’s not American, it’s uncleG/neoliberal/hegemonic, and I don’t think there’s much doubt around the marble we easily-distracted, chunky slackers are more hostages than everyone else, and the bigG don’t deal for hostages.
SamTheDiddlingPickpocket has been giving us a bad name for generations, and as desperation becomes undeniable, we’ll see how far he’s willing to go with us and everyone else.
I hope the adults are able to remind everyone punching down is for bullies and cowards, and there’s been far too much of that already.
Relax! When, in discussing geopolitics, people say the Americans, the Brits, the Australians, the French or whatever, they obviously don’t mean the people from these countries but their governments, which the people of these countries generally hate just as much as their foreign critics and more often than not… even more because they know them better :o)
I don’t know how to object to this besides moving out of the US with my kids, because in general for the country’s economy to grow it needs its population to grow.
Kiosaki is predicting that US population will drop in half bcs of high inflation, due to the government’s mismanagement.
MMT only works when the economy is expanding, it does not work with high inflation or population decrease.
MMT is not an economic theory but is an observation of how US gov mismanages its monetary system. MMT remains mum that what sustains the US is living off other countries and the petro trade.
Its not possible to learn MMT bcs it is incomplete and logical fallacy. You can only read about and shake your head in disbelief.
There is NO MMT going on in the United States, nor in any other nation-state that I am aware of other than China, which does practice it’s own form of MMT, or debt free money creation and public banking for the commons.
You have been duped, plain and simple, by the most pathological forces on this planet, the greatest opponents of MMT, the private banking institution that creates the money, the Fed, who then loans it out to other private banking institutions, like Goldman, like Morgan, who then frack it and loan it out again to other private institutions who frack it, or gamble it, or buy up the US housing market on the cheap like BlackRock, and so on …
Just you know, MMT is last chance our species has to avoid extinction. We must have must regain a sense of the commons, or we humans will be gone shortly, and MMT is our only chance to do so.
I will argue no further, after 15 years of beatdowns, I’ve had enough, other that to say two things, one, Bernie Sanders latest two campaigns were destroyed not because he was a milquetoast Socialist who wanted to do good things for the people of the United States, like bring them a $15 minimum wage and universal healthcare, although such positions did play a part, but mainly because he had MMT people in his camp, which made “feckless” Bernie the greatest threat there ever was to the established order, and two, if you are not in favor of MMT, then you are in favor of this …
https://www.resilience.org/stories/2019-12-03/catabolism-capitalisms-frightening-future/
Those are the two choices going forward Inna, MMT (public banking for the greater good), or the death of all things.
I think I understand your point of view.
I listened to an explanation of MMT by a US finance guy who is usually credited for the theory.
He was actually saying that it is other countries who cannot do MMT bcs they do not have our Fed!
Go figure.
He was right. Modern currencies aren’t backed by gold and silver, they’re backed by confidence in the currency itself. MMT says that when your currency is the primary vehicle of international trade, which the USD is, that confidence is essentially unlimited. This means that money can be printed without inflation as long as the holders of the currency are confident in the lasting dominance of the dollar. The current inflation is the result of massive social unrest and the emergence of a multipolar economic and political world, aggravated by forced disconnection of a major resource supplier from most USD trade.
It’s not a point of view Inna. It is what it is.
MMT is governments issuing debt free currency to fund operatios.
That’s it. And there can be no such thing as government debt in an MMT regime, because there is no interest.
MMT is the exact polar opposite of how all nation-states, save China, go about funding their operations, which is to say, they borrow from PRIVATE institutions, like the Fed, who create the money out thin air.
Look into it. Stepanie Kelton would be a good place to start. She was the best known of the MMT advocates in Bernie’s camp.
Sergie Glazyev and Michael Hudson are two names that you may have run across several times on this blog in the last 65 days. Both are MMT proponents.
Glazyev is the economist in Russia who was shunted to sidelines for 20 years by Russia’s treasonous neo-liberals, and Hudson, the best economist America has ever produced, now works in China, because NO ONE will listen to him over here.
Of course no one who wants to stay alive will listen to an economist who is against usury by a private central bank. I have heard that all US presidents who tried to nationalize the Central Bank ended up not living.
Actually, apparently even Russia was forced into the way of private central banking, and this did not end well. As of late the “global bankers” stole all of Russia’s funds that were held abroad. If banking is based on trust and confidence, this should have dissolved the illusion.
Indeed. Well said.
It’s the USA’s current method of money creation, in which interest must be paid on any new money, that requires an expanding economy. A purer form of MMT would be the US government simply spending money, rather than borrowing it first, eliminationg the interest payments.
That’s it in a nutshell. Use your own MMT money of whatever interest-free design fits your community/country needs & not borrow the banksters money at usury. Money is imaginary. It must never be allowed to enslave us. Here are a couple of ideas: https://www.complementarycurrency.org/ & https://twitter.com/DomeLord/status/1478510162243727366?s=20&t=zP6qkyAO4lAh2DP9FZUQzw
Yep, Biden and Co – and their European allies et al – are doing everything they can to bring all the death and destruction and devastation and carnage to an end.
.
God bless America.
HAHAHA! You got me, I almost believed you were serious.
So I will die laughing.
Sad because so few of us will even blink an eye or raise a voice against thus chicanery.
It is not the most American thing. It is, perhaps, the most American type of idiocy.
And the taxpayers get the bill.
TAXES DON’T FUND SPENDING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
#LearnMMT!
They don’t spend our taxes? I’m going to ask the IRS for my money back then!
They tax you so you can’t spend that money. What they spend is essentially unrelated.
PS
“They tax you so you can’t spend that money” isn’t intended as any kind of joke. According to MMT, that’s exactly what taxes are – a way of destroying spending power.
That’s why oligarchs and mega-corporations should be heavily taxed – not because the government needs their money (it doesn’t; it can just create money), but to cut them down to size, reducing their economic power.
.
Of course, that’s not what happens in the US: they are taxed very lightly, allowing them enormous economic power, while the average citizen sinks under mountains of debt. MMT, as a pure theory, is neutral as to desired ends and outcomes, and the US system is a bastardised form of MMT anyway, with money being created alongside the issuance of interest-bearing Treasury bonds.
