This harkens back to the original topic of this fine substack, the Corona Mess. AfD politicians are among the least likely to have fallen for the toxic corona vaccines, but these gentlemen are relatively old, so I wonder how many of them had fallen for the propaganda? The spike protein lingers and creates significant vascular damage if it enters the bloodstream.

I also remember reading about the Biontech outsourced vaccine production in Germany. The process control was horrible (not the point of the article, which lauded the efforts). Bad batches?

People in USA have an even shorter life expectancy now, no doubt due to Coof jab side effects.

Now there are 7 dead! Do you remember the case of the Russian spy with his daughter a number of years ago? They were both found dead sitting on a park bench after fleeing from bad people in a public market or mall of some kind?

I agree wholeheartedly with you though. I have been immersing myself the last few years in learning about the myriad of ways the jab can negatively impact and affect ALL of the bodily systems and functions.

Yes seniors have more health conditions or concerns than younger people BUT.

The jab is also known to rapidly worsen any pre existing conditions that a person already had as well as bring back dormant previously cured cancer!

Suicide is also now a suspected linked because of scientific evidence of the jab being able to cross the blood brain barrier, bringing on very noticeable personality changes, psychotic episodes, depression, suicide, an inability to debate issues.

"People in USA have an even shorter life expectancy now."

"Now" as compared to when?

Where are you getting that data?

Life expectancy in the USA was declining for a number of years before the virus hysteria crisis of 2020-22.

I've been poking around for life expectancy data in the years since, but it's hard to find anything that I would deem reliable.

I do know THIS, however:

In Wall Street Journal polls from 1987 until the onset of the virus hysteria crisis, a majority of Americans thought that "hard work" would improve their standard of living.

Then there was an unprecedented gap in data collection circa 2021.

Since then?

The number has been cut more than in half, so that now only 27% of Americans surveyed by the Wall Street Journal think that "hard work" will improve their standard of living.

Hmmm interesting.

On life expectancy I’d go with the insurance actuaries. Their job is to track trends and make predictions. They can predict death due to various factors with their algorithms down to the day. They were the first to spill the beans on coof deaths, symptoms and causes when hospitals hid the info and CDC would not report the info.

Good tip on the insurance actuaries.

I don't trust data from "official" sources like the CDC and, barf, the WHO.

It's interesting that the CDC doesn't make it very easy to find data on US life expectancy across the years.

On their website, I could find something called "Fast Stat" or another term like that, but even after attempting to dig I couldn't find a simple chart or graph showing life expectancy in the USA from year to year.

The US ranks 48th in the world for life expectancy. US rank for life expectancy is even lower than US rank for IQ, which is pretty damn low compared to people in other countries. Life expectancy and IQ in the US were low even before the shots, but the shots didn't help.

OK, thanks for digging up (sic) the numbers. Nothingburger. Yes, obviously proportionately more AfD candidates than other party candidates, but small differences in small numbers always look proportionally large, a mind trick played so often in my line of work that it's getting boring.

I'm gonna stick my neck out and call Simpson's paradox as well. The AfD candidates are likely older. Just being a local election candidate for that party is going to ruin most peoples' careers, so it's gonna be pensioners. Whereas the greens and SPD and Linke will have a ton of teentwies running for office.

here in Canada I like Maxime Bernier but the people willing to run as candidates for the PPC are... heavy sigh. If you are a normal person with a normal life running as a PPC candidate would destroy your career so no one normal will put their names forward.

AfD is more mainstream in Germany than the PPC in Canada but totally believable there would be a slant toward pensioners with nothing professional to lose as its candidates.

True. PPC candidates that I know or have have met have mostly isolated themselves from reach of the DEI gestapo. The better ones are either self-employed, retired, or professionals that have been ex-communicated for wrongthink by their governing bodies (so have nothing to lose).

In this day and age, and this grotesque world of maya (illusion), I definitely agree that just being a faithful and devoted Christian is practically and alien and radical act. In fact, I don't actually think it's possible to be "in the world" and "of the world". The further away you live from it, the better your chances of being faithful and clean are. I say this with complete and total self-indictment, but I'm certain that it's true for people in general. And of my radical ideas are things that all of my ancestors from my grandparents back would regard as sensible and necessary, also. My radicalism is the willingness to solve problems just as was done in the past, too.

A story notable more for what it reveals about changing attitudes towards the AfD outside Germany. In my experience previously even many natural supporters of Trump, Farage or Le Pen unthinkingly swallowed the line that the AfD are a bunch of neo-Adolfs. Now they’re suddenly very concerned about persecution of these poor underdogs.

Musk is very often a huge retard, but his clout is undeniable.

Farage and Trump are inauthentic containment. To be a natural supporter of them is to admit you are a dupe, plain and simple. It's the equivalent of being a natural supporter of Tony Blair ("THINGS! CAN ONLY! GET BETTER!") or Obama.

Well put. Alas, many do not understand. I fear they need the corrective experience of real life to truly wake up. Thankfully real life is always there ready to assert itself.

In Britain that will mean five years of a Reform government who have stated they want MORE immigration from the commonwealth. Probably needed for the Farage fans to get the message.

[nods approvingly at her ornate pocketwatch and tucks it away again]

Yes, I agree. And the legitimate grievances that impel very ordinary people into political activism in their senior years are just in themselves engines of great stress and passion which can cut you down like a woodsman's axe swung mightily.

Heck--I'm angry about something almost every day now, have been for five years just on these issues we talk about here, and I guarantee if I wasn't cleaning out my arteries with all that Vitamin C and ginger tea I'd've likely burst all my gaskets by now.

And with all the complete total buffoonery of the ruling political class in Germany these days I'd say they ain't got the stones nor the cunningness to carry out such true nefariousness. It's their stupidity, arrogance and cluelessness that have brought your country to the cliff-edge of disaster.

Thank you for your very calm take on this.

My first question was "OK, how many candidates of other parties died?" The fact that half of the deaths are AfD versus the same number from all other parties is, as you say, slightly unusual but not inconceivable. Also that the families of the deceased aren't raising a ruckus is pretty reassuring.

The death of any friend or relative is a shock, even if we know the odds are heavily stacked for such an outcome.

So, I wish all the friends and families of all the candidates who have died so far can grieve in peace. At some point hopefully they celebrate the life of those who died.

There is no general 'correct' way to do this - how the living deal with death is deeply personal.

When I read E’s headline before reading it crossed my mind these candidates had been knocked off by a virus. I had no idea Germans were so interested in running for office. 90K!!!

I’m not fear mongering but the next virus will be a reboot of Spanish flu. People trained by the Coof will assume it’s a nothing burger. I would imagine it will be launched before the US midterms to sway the election with more “emergency measures.” Spanish Flu kills 30%.

Rocío Matamoros's avatar

Hello Chix, there's a lot of mythology around the post-WWI "Spanish Flu" event. First, it didn't originate in Spain. While the combatant countries of WWI were heavily censoring reports of disease and deaths, neutral Spain discussed the matter freely in the press, so for people outside senior military and governmental levels in the combatant countries, the first source of information was Spain. The censorship seriously inhibited any action that could have slowed down the spread of disease, and when Spain began reporting on the problem, it was convenient for the censors to pretend that the disease had come from there.

The non-court history accounts place the origin in soldiers' pre-demobilization camps in northern France. There were well grounded fears that rapid demobilization and repatriation of soldiers could lead to communist uprisings, which is exactly what had happened already in several German cities, and also in Vienna and Budapest (Hungary was soon following the same trajectory as Bolshevik Russia, although it was defeated after several months). There were serious riots and temporary loss of control in several US cities.

So the extreme delays in demobilization were understandable, but even so, conditions in the camps were often very poor, and disease was able to spread rapidly among men who were already in poor health after years of trench warfare.

In the US, the mass fatalities were complicated by the experimental use of Aspirin (then a new drug). What are now known to be lethal doses were freely administerd (with the usual carelessness of the medical profession towards soldiers).

So the combination of

1.the disease hothouses of the soldiers' camps,

2. the censorship preventing early discussion of countermeasures, and

3. the experimental abuse of aspirin in the US

all place the "Spanish Flu" in a very different light. As a result, it's not clear what "a reboot of Spanish Flu" would even mean.

Expand full comment
Chixbythesea's avatar

Makes sense. Thanks for the lengthy, detailed response. I knew it had not originated in Spain. The controllers like to play those tricks. Most modern pandemics originated in Asia even when attributed to the Middle East, etc.

“Reboot of Spanish flu” means:

Fauci and friends exhumed soldiers who died of SF in the Arctic and were buried below the permafrost. The trip up there occurred some years back (10-15ish.) They brought back the virus to be gain-of-functioned on the US mainland. “Because you never know when it might show up again and you’ll need to be ready to crank out a jab right quick.” 🥂

Rocío Matamoros's avatar

Thanx, Chix. I really didn't know about Fauci's exhumations, and now that you've explained, I'm happy to admit that "reboot" was exactly the right term.

I am blessed with two amazing sources. A mother who constantly researches. She told me that Covid was coming to N America from China in early Jan, ‘20. Also (besides sort of figuring out the covid-response inconsistencies from our dear health authorities on my own) we have a brilliant scientist friend who worked directly for the Faucist and warned us about the risk of myocarditis in quarter one of the jab roll out.

The original paper that presented the Aspirin-overdose these was published in 2009, and I recall reading a summary of the findings not long after that. Here's the kind of thing I read:

https://thepharmacynewsletter.com/aspirin-use-or-misuse-during-the-spanish-flu-in-1918-3-9-2020/

I read the popular-science press avidly back then, but dumped them later because of their increasing tendency towards uncritical reporting on "climate change", vaccines etc. while the condemned any note of skepticism as "flat earth"-level stupidity. They were presumably well reimbursed for this already, and I didn't see why I should pay them more just to be gaslighted. It's a pity, though, because there was plenty of interesting material alongside the propaganda.

I have a theory the, “believe the science” mantra and coercive voo-doo was meant to condition the masses to take up dark ages irrationality again (in preparation for the “new feudal system.”)

Expand full comment
Rocío Matamoros's avatar

During the 2010s, schools in the UK had special classes on two unexamined subjects: anti-intellectualism and bullying.

The classes on bullying were a cover for the promotion of the new trans ideology.

The classes on anti-intellectualism were conditioning exercises to create people who would unquestioningly accept anything declared by a white-coated government (or UN) bureaucrat - "follow the science". They were primed against anyone who dissented, since these people were defined as anti-intellectuals, an as such were unworthy of debate, and only to be shouted down and deplatformed.

I wouldn't speak of a new feudal system. One of the deceptions in modern education is the trashing of the past, where everyone was stupid, smelly and fascist. The young, then, were raised to believe that the truth about things only emerged in the current year.

Part of this onslaught on the past was the conversion of the word "feudalism" into a general term of abuse against the past. The feudal system was what allowed Western Europe to start its ascent towards world leadership. Late feudalism saw the emergence of engineering marvels in the form of cathedrals that would have baffled the Romans at the height of their achievements. The peasant contribution to the landlord was miniscule in comparison to modern taxation, and the larger part of the year was free of labor (for the lord or for themselves), and they could pursue their own preferred activities (many of the builders of cathedrals were peasant men volunteering their free time towards a project whose completion they knew they would not live to see).

The principle at the low end of the social scale in feudalism is hard to criticize once it is understood: if peasants were free to leave their plots of land and go to the cities, the cities would soon begin to starve, for lack of agricultural produce. The entire society would collapse after a couple of generations once the rules were relaxed. The Black Death hastened the development of a system of land rents that replaced feudalism as it grew. By the time of the French Revolution, the only truly feudal relation left to be abolished was the vassalage of the French king to the German Emperor ("Holy Roman") in some of his eastern territories. For the peasantry, feudalism was centuries in the past - if they were being given a bad deal by those above them, it had nothing to do with feudalism.

Ultimately, the modern slandering of feudalism is a symptom of the general hatred of any traditional social hierarchy. You understand that I'm not advocating a return to feudalism (which is meaningless), but justifying it in the time and place where it was probably the only social system that could have led to the advance of civilization that took place in Western Europe over the course of the last millenium.
