Every time another layer of the Covid onion is pulled back it is abundantly clear the magnitude of the duplicity and obfuscation foisted upon us by our overlords was off the charts. I will never again believe any recommendations coming from public health unless it can independently verified by an unbiased third party expert. In fact, my personal view is to do exactly the opposite what is recommended by the CDC, FDA, RKI, etc.

For all my adult life, every media outlet ran medical horror story exposes at least once a year, urging the populace to always get a second opinion, and that was such a widespread conviction that legislation was passed in the US requiring health insurance companies to pay for second opinions.

And then everyone got amnesia and entered Happy Ignorance Heaven on Earth where the Sacred in Scrubs were here to minister to us in their selfless wisdom.

Me, though, I stilll got all my faculties and remember them articles full well.

how does one get an honest second opinion?

how does one know who can give a second opinion?

I'm constantly amazed at how proficient these people are at concealing important truths. So, in some matters (like "covering their asses"), they aren't "incompetent" at all.

Why hasn't any official public health agency investigated the "embalmers' clots?" These were brought to the attention of the (alternative media) world 2 1/2 years ago.

Richard Hirschman is still trying to get the word out. His most recent "clot" photo has been viewed 3.4 million times on X. So the officials can't say they don't know about this.

What happened during COVID was just the same old corrupt bureaucratic bullshit writ at a much larger and invasive scale. It wasn't that "the pandemic" made them go nuts, it's that they applied the same processes and justification that they always do at scale and with no restraints. I think that most people are yet to grasp this truth: this is just how these politicians and their lackey organisations *are* - the difference is that during COVID they had the public scared enough, and the global coordination to let them get away with whatever they wanted.

My criteria to select a dr:

2) that the conversation is about what lifestyle changes i need to make to resolve whatever condition is afflicting me

3) And most importantly, that he didn't vax himself.

Sounds impossible, but i have successfully replaced all the dr that i used before the pandemic and my health is better than ever.

I have never in my whole life seen anyone who attained a position of authority handle it with absolute honesty and a willingness to risk that attained status.

Like not ever.

In a mystery novel by one of my favorites-of-all-time authors, a character, ordinary, without any sort of meaningful status in the world, contacts a journalist with the plea that she look into a troubling case, and she accedes to his plea because he'd said that he wanted to "see right done." He hadn't asked for justice, which is another animal.

There's a terrible simplicity to doing the right thing, and the consequences can be terrible too. As I said yesterday in response to the pinned comment--if we want more people of courage and decency to step forward we must have the courage to see they do not lose everything by doing so. We had that awful warning from the authorities during the Canadian truckers convoy--help them at your peril.

Blame is natural human response when one does not want to take responsibility.

It goes way back. If you think Adam and Eve is folklore, think again!

Given a warning that this thing (apple) is not good for you.

Eve could have just listened. BUT she acted on a lie. The truth was there, she made a CHOICE. Next up....

Get someone else (Adam) to join you. Use whatever tactics you will but Adam listened AND ACTED.

Next up: blame the liar. Whatever you do, do not take responsibility and 'licks' for it. Next...

Adam blames God (!) for giving Adam 'that woman'.

God (in His mercy) provides a way out.

Rinse. Repeat.

People make their own decisions whether pressured or not. Life is all about standing up to the pressure of 'evil'. There is no one to blame.

My anger has melted and I choose to be merciful to those who forced, continue to force these deadly shots. They will eventually have to take responsibility. I am grateful that I was given a triple dose of discernment. This time. I pray I am given discernment for the next round they have for us (that digital prison sure looks clearer each day).

My point? We are all human, therefore, imperfect. It's not easy and I understand the anger but finding mercy and being thankful one did not succumb is very freeing.

I disagree, even as a scientist, that it is necessary to "follow a scientific rather than political" agenda in a pandemic.

Science may come up with some thoughts and scenarios, though coronatime was notable for the hysterical, scaremongering, Ferguson on down type of doom-mongering.

Deciding what to do with that information is politics. It's politics that came up with the abandonment of cost/benefit essential for any decision ("if it saves just one life"), and then compounded the error by throwing individual freedom coupled with individual responsibility overboard and using the time to re-establish authoritarianism. The rulers themselves became enthralled with a constantly self-reinforcing ever more rigid approach that took almost 3 years to collapse under the weight of its own stupidity.

But when Government mandates large and harmful change(s) in the public's way of life, there must be a solid rationale of some sort behind those changes...There was, in fact, none for the extreme covid measures...so the Government pressured scientists and medical bureaucrats to provide such justification, even when it contravened existing medical research...and in the US, at least, allowed Pharma to hand out huge financial incentives to doctors and administrators to push an untested gene therapy "vaccine."

And this is one reason that the (good) economists have a point when they say their input should have been heard in order to weigh the benefit/cost of lockdowns, school closures etc.

At least the ones who weren't regime parrots predicted the fallout of 'lockdown nation' quite accurately. Most of them write for https://mises.org.

On the other hand their complaint rests on the assumption that this wasn't a long-planned, malice aforethought, bivalent biological weapon attack on the compliant demographic.

Everything we now see, from the Covid response to international affairs, is based on a centralized dependence model. As Europeans we have forgotten our great strength was decentralization in all things.

America broke away from the Mother Country when this was in vogue and also difficult to police, so it is part of its founding DNA. Decentralization, independence, autonomy. But these are also the hallmarks of many European states, including regions within modern countries.

Most of our woes are because of the centralization of life. We are increasingly ruled by ever more distant leaders.

The Covid response was the bureaucratic element of the controllers asserting itself. The antidote is decentralize everything. Let them rot because we cannot fix them.

One large contributing factor is money. The centralization of money creation by central banks gives governments enormous power. Take that away and government cannot exert nearly as much influence. Imagine if the Dollar or Euro become worthless overnight and no one would accept the currency. What would the government do? How would they pay for all the useless bureaucrats, the welfare recipients, the corporate subsidies? How would they fight the foreign wars or buy Chinese exports? If everything went back to gold or barter, no one would be willing to pay for the type of government that today is financed with money printing and debt.

IF IT SAVES ONLY ONE LIFE ARRGGHHH!

The modern West is not ruled by any sort of competent leadership class who can process info, think clearly, attempt a decision, weigh its results, accept responsibility etc...

We instead have a class of assistant bank managers of the global corporate state, whose thoughts/agenda are provided by the media and who live every second of their lives in terror of conjuring up a horde of Twitter Furies who will devour them and their careers.

I live in Cali but have family in Florida: Here we had a stringent and punitive Covid regime where they closed beaches, mountain trails, and even filled up skate bowls with mountains of sand—which were applauded despite how stupid, malevolent and useless all this was.

In Florida, when Gov DeSantis actually used available info to make a wise decision to NOT close his beaches, the media crucified him and called him DeathSantis, the mass murderer of your grandparents.

Now he's a popular governor who'd made it part of his persona to fight the MSM, but for your average apparatchik throughout the West, the safest bet was being as punitive and pants-shitting as possible, as the other option was waking up in a cold sweat to see if you'd become today's Emmanuel Goldstein du jour, sentenced to social death.

We are ruled first by the hive mind of social media, then by the media plankton who feed off the ugliest narratives they can repackage and sell—with any actual intelligence or social responsibility barely in the picture.

This is something that the British Health Secretary Matt Hanckock's WhatsApp leaks from a while ago speak to. We haven't had equivalent high-level political leaks in Germany, so it's hard to say to what extent the same dynamics applied here, but I suspect they did. Anyway, the general picture is this:

1) A small group of internationally networked 'pandemicists' (Christian Drosten, Neil Ferguson, etc.) are persuaded that locking down is the way to go, especially after the Italian lockdown. They sell lockdowns to the politicians, who then have to impose them on the public health establishment (who had never planned on lockdowns previously). They also have to sell them to their respective citizenries.

2) They do the latter primarily by massively increasing testing and pulling out all the stops to terrorise people about a virus. This then creates political demand for lockdowns, and a kind of feedback loop takes over. To convince people to comply with measures, you have to convince them that Covid is superscary, and popular demand for more measures just grows.

3) The politicians at this point have powerful reasons to force their respective public health apparatuses to churn out nothing but lockdown-justifying data and lockdown-justifying analyses, even when these aren't warranted. As they find themselves locked into policies that are destroying the economy and society, they latch onto the vaccines as an escape. Matt Hancock's advisers, for example, emphasised to him that his political future depended upon "owning the exit" by making himself the face of mass vaccination.

4) The vaccines don't do much about Covid at all and so the politicians end up blaming the unvaccinated instead.

Frankenheimer Graff's avatar

I am not sure this captures the complete picture, given that the security/anti-terrorism/intelligence services dominated (and were in charge of) the C-19 response (as admirably analysed by ms Lerman cs). This was most likely based on the intelligence concerning the gain-of-function work in China, the Wuhan lab leak and the need to cover the NIH/intelligence community's tracks in sponsoring the Chinese fiasco. So the politicians were informed by their intelligence/security services about the true (political/terrorism) risk of C-19, and they then applied pressure on the public health authorities to fall in line with their delusional response. It just won't do to have a 4 star general on TV telling the citizens what to do, you need someone in a labcoat. However, those labcoat folks have difficulty justifying the delusional responses concocted by the intelligence/security services and hence loose face all the time they try to defend lunatic measures dreamt up by power hungry crazies. This explains the flopping by Fauci and others.

I have posted about this before. Some national security (and perhaps intelligence services) involvement has been demonstrated, perhaps, for the United States, but the evidence is limited and vastly outweighed by oceans of documentation for the civilian nature of the response. Often there is a kind of one-drop rule that prevails in this theories – find an intelligence agent somewhere, and suddenly the whole thing is an intelligence operation; find hundreds of civilian bureaucrats and scientists, that doesn't matter quite as much.

Expand full comment
Frankenheimer Graff's avatar

That's because the intelligence people are better at secrecy (their work is legally shrouded by the national security incense). In NL it is, however, beyond doubt that the NCTV (National Coordinator for Terrorism and Security; a function held by the current PM BTW) called the shots even in cabinet; his remit included bio-terrorism obviously. In view of the huge German involvement in the Wuhan bio-security experiments, it would be surprising if the same didn't apply there (i.e. the pandemic was potentially caused by German state sanctioned bio-experimentation in China); the experiment was oriented towards (safeguarding against) bio-terrorism and the leak could be seen as an act of bio-terrorism. Given this fact pattern, I wouldn't expect the politicians would allow the response to be dictated by the health authorities, but rather by the institutions to blame for the fiasco.

Expand full comment
eugyppius's avatar

I can't speak to the NL, but there is an intellectual problem here.

What role is there for intelligence services to play in lockdowns and mass vaccination? We know lockdowns came to the west via the joint WHO-China mission at the end of February, so they didn't originate with intelligence agencies. We know the Italian lockdowns were instrumental in convincing other European countries to lock down. The origins of the Italian lockdown are still partially obscure, but all trails point to Health Ministry actors and modelling projects. Then, we know that Neil Ferguson's 16 March model was crucial for almost all Western lockdowns beyond Italy. Did intelligence services in some countries play a role in establishing lockdowns? They may well have, the precise dynamics will vary from country to country, but I can't see space in the narrative for anything but a secondary role, in some nations.

This makes a lot of sense. In Germany, for example, domestic intelligence is under the control of the Interior Ministry. They don't have any authority to dictate domestic policy, they are rather dictated at. The same goes for the health security goons in the RKI and elsewhere – all under the authority of the Health Ministry.

Of course, it makes total sense to me that the intelligence and security services were seized by lockdown feature, as the rest of the bureaucracy were.

In the UK the military/IC were in charge of the response

https://debbielerman.substack.com/p/in-the-uk-pandemic-response-was-biodefense

In the US the military/IC were in charge of the response

https://debbielerman.substack.com/p/the-national-security-arms-of-government

The same is true for all the 5 eye countries and Mr. Graff helpfully adds NL as well (thank you!)

The explanation that all politicians in all countries were somehow convinced they had to lockdown by Italy - despite all the top epidemiologists, virologists etc. telling them this was wrong (and being brutally censored and silenced) - is more far fetched than the "conspiracy" explanation. It also gets the timeline backwards and misses the point of the lockdown-until-vaccine plan.

The Italian "outbreak" started with a media blitz based on nothing and then a huge increase in testing and hospitalizations based on that testing.

https://debbielerman.substack.com/p/covid-timeline-wiki-project-february-ec6

It was part of the larger global plan to lock everything down in anticipation of the mRNA vaccines, on which work started in January 2020.

The military/IC involvement was INTERNATIONAL and run through biodefense agreements, the global censorship and propaganda industrial complex which has large military/intelligence involvement, and "public-private" partnerships involving agencies like DARPA, the institutions/agencies people like Drosten are in charge of, and the global "philanthropic" orgs that pretty much ran the whole thing: Gates Foundation and Wellcome Trust, with their sub-orgs CEPI and GAVI, and the WHO over which they exercise enormous leverage.

The overarching goal of the anti-scientific fear mongering and lockdowns was to prep the world for the arrival of the completely unsafe and ineffective mRNA vaccines - by illegally rushing them through Emergency Use Authorization that applies only to emergencies caused by CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) attacks.

https://debbielerman.substack.com/p/what-is-emergency-use-authorization.

This EUA was the basis for all emergency authorizations of all covid vaccines everywhere - thanks to various agreements and memorandi of understanding that conveniently bypass each country's pharma regulating process.

The G3P structures (global public private partnerships) have been sucking up increasing amounts of wealth and power, and Covid was the most glaring manifestation of how how that power can be wielded

https://www.malone.news/p/g3p-global-public-private-partnerships-346

This is not a "conspiracy theory" about a bunch of spies or power mongering politicians or businessmen sitting around in dark rooms plotting to take over the world. This is the result of what CJ Hopkins (whose plight I'm sure you're aware of) calls "GloboCap"

Here's as good a quote as any by Hopkins, to summarize what the Covid "conspiracy" and globalist "conspiracy" theories are actually based on:

"I’m not suggesting there’s a bunch of capitalists sitting around in a room somewhere in their shiny black top hats planning all of this. I’m talking about systemic development, which is a little more complex than that, and much more difficult to intelligently discuss because we’re used to perceiving historico-political events in the context of competing nation states, rather than competing ideological systems … or rather, non-competing ideological systems, for capitalism has no competition. What it has, instead, is a variety of insurgencies, the faith-based Islamic fundamentalist insurgency and the neo-nationalist insurgency chief among them. There will certainly be others throughout the near future as global capitalism consolidates control and restructures society according to its values."

The plandemic was just a primary, globally well coordinated rehearsal of top-down power-play to see how far governments can go unimpeded when

- deleting people's basic rights like right of movement, congregation, schooling, medical care,

- widely imposing tracking-apps on mobile-phones,

- test populace's resilience or rejection to utterly undemocratic rules as well as

- widely applying state-psyops, fear-porn and misinformation (gullibility-test)

before a general backlash manifests in the slowly awakening populace.

Simple as that and brace yourself because in the last one people failed "the test" miserably, it still being not very clear if they learned enough to resist the next one without losing their dignity for good ...

Power acquisition is the primary political agenda and I am speaking of the base level. Globalization is merely the inevitable result of unfettered personal ambition and greed for power in those lacking any other desires or moral controls. The average person will trade their power ambitions for the emotional and physical benefits of family. Psychopaths lack the temptation of those alternate goals. The individual craves power. This is achieved through more and more control of others. Combine with others with similar ambitions and eventually you have a control grid run by those psychopaths. The political agenda is an inevitable end result of that personal character flaw.

I say it is flaw because it does not benefit those with it in any really way. No one in the upper hierarchy live happier, more satisfied, or secured lives than those below them. Some may live longer, but a miserable existence is not improved by the number of days it is allowed to continue. Or to say another way, A life is not measured in years, but by the deeds within.

i'm on another continent. i walk around, look at the people. they are clueless. 90% are absolutely clueless. there could be new nuremberg trails and they'd continue to be absolutely clueless. and even if they'd hear about those trials they'd say "weird germans. there absolutely was a dangerous pandemic. what should we have done?".

there is no way out of this.

Just know that Whenever this gang is mentioned things are happening that they deem need to be covered up and/or crushed.

They are nothing more than thugs with a fancy title.
