Just some more garbage concerning the usual suspects;

”The European Union (EU) has thrown its support behind Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates’ radical plans “fight global warming” by blocking light from the Sun to lower the temperature on Earth.
The EU will join an international globalist effort to examine the effectiveness of the plan.
Several nations’ governments are joining unelected bureaucratic agencies to determine whether a large-scale intervention such as deflecting the Sun’s rays or changing the Earth’s weather patterns are viable options for “fighting climate change.”

As Slay News has previously reported, Bill Gates has long been advocating for the plan to fight “global warming” using experimental geoengineering to block the Sun.
The idea, promoted by Gates and leftist billionaire George Soros, involves pumping manmade white clouds into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the planet’s surface.
The radical scheme would lower the planet’s temperature and allegedly “combat global warming.”
Soros claims the technology will help to prevent ice sheets from melting.
Ice sheets melting in Greenland in particular, he claimed, could doom human civilization.”

I guess the fact that water vapour is by far the biggest greenhouse gas, not factored into the models, gives us no reason to suspect that adding to it deliberately might cause serious warming when there is none now.

We were discussing the other day about myocarditis caused by the Covid jabs and also caused by the the Covid virus, inc from flu. This person is responding to a comment from Bret Weinstein and says they’re a doctor. I think they give a very logical explanation here, but as a doctor yourself, what do you think?

”Bret/Heather, you’re brilliant. I’m a physician. Different virus vs vax myocarditis mechanisms isn’t just theory. Here’s why you’re correct in real life.

1. TIMING
a) Virus myocarditis
As Offit said, SARS2 viral myocarditis most often manifests as *post-viral myocarditis* due to *molecular mimicry*.

This means a *few to several weeks* after covid infection (ie symptoms/viral load were already gone weeks or 1-2 months ago), there is Ab/T crossreactivity (mimicry) to self-antigens in heart cells.

This mechanism is most often mild, good prognosis.

To clarify, SARS2 viral *fulminant myocarditis*, which can occur in *days to a week* after covid infection, is *very rare*. Initial covid presentation with fulminant myocarditis is so rare and unusual, it’s a case report. Almost all SARS2 viral myocarditis is post-viral and mild.

b) Vax myocarditis
Most often occurs *days to 1 week* after 2nd vax dose. Also occurs after *1st vax dose* or booster.

This timing is *atypical* of mimicry. Rather, this timing is textbook for a primary or secondary *direct immune cell attack* on mRNA-transfected heart cells.

Offit knows all this. He’s obviously pulling a “limited hangout”. Pfizer will copy what Offit says.

If politicians were honest, they’d ask if mechanisms are the same (mimicry) for both virus and vax myo, then why are the timing and severity distinctly different for virus vs vax myo?

If you’re still reading…

2. SERUM VAX SPIKE
There’s a high correlation of vax spike found in serum (blood) of vax myocarditis. Vax controls showed no serum vax spike.

Importantly, Ab/T immunoprofiling of vax myocarditis patients were *indistinguishable* from vax controls (ie no unusual autoantibodies or autoreactive T cells (no mimicry signs)).

This is more evidence that in vax myo, your immune cells are killing your own heart cells that look virus-infected.

There’s more vax myo mechanisms like inflammasome or apoptosis. But you said the main vax myo mechanism perfectly.”

Thanks for highlighting this insightful comment on the Darkhorse discussion. A bit tangential but I’ve been catching up on A Mid Western Doctor (difficult because his articles are so long) and his latest on “A forgotten history of Sterilizing Vaccines”, ie affecting female fertility in particular, seems worth studying, if only the conclusions. He draws heavily on Dr Mike Yeadon’s observations and views. (Sorry but can’t get the link to paste from the laptop I’m using and not sure why!) I hate to say it but the depopulation agenda of the globalists seems a grim reality.

Is that the one about depopulation? Yes I get put off with very long articles too, even if they are of great quality, so I never get around to finishing them. Same with long videos. I start and plan to finish at a later time but never get around to it! lol MWD has written articles in the past about depop and vaccine effects on fertility so I didn’t read his latest.

Here’s the one you’re talking about and I’m referring to the one before this. 🙂

I can’t speak with any authority on these mechanisms, or on the incidence of post-COVID and post-vaccination myocarditis, but Brett and Heather’s discussion was plausible, and the physician’s detailed reply is entirely logical.

At the most basic level we have the long-established truth: COVID is a respiratory disease, and the immune response is primarily directed at mucous membranes in the respiratory tract, where the spike protein and the viruses are replicating. So even if spike protein resembles cardiac proteins, natural infection will not produce so many antibodies that can get to the myocardium. And as the man says, such antibodies will be a late part of the immune repsonse.

Vaccination, though, produces spike protein humorally (ie in the circulation) immediately, and in the organs the circulation reaches, so the immune response is far more extensive, quite apart from any toxic effects from the spike protein itself being manifested in those organ systems, including the heart, of course.

Thanks. And just based on the more recent data coming out about myo/pericarditis ( particularly the subclinical rate ), can you imagine if everybody who ever had one of these jabs went to their doctor and asked for a Troponin test, just at a minimum, to see if they’re elevated? Now that would be interesting. How many are walking around with increased risk of cardiac arrest and are completely oblivious?

Dr McCullough speaks of this in this 1min clip;

No chance of this in the UK Mogs, we haven’t a hope in hell of such a request being met. More likely to be struck off the register.

Certainly not on the NHS at any rate. But people could get some bloods and other investigations done privately. If I’d been jabbed I’d rather be armed with the knowledge I was harbouring internal damage or not than always wonder ”what if…?”, especially every time I have a headache or a twinge in my chest. It’d drive me mad not knowing. 🙁

Don’t you need to have the Troponin test soon after the jab or will it still be worth having later? Any idea how much it costs privately? I’d be happy to contribute to help fund it for newly awake people who’d had the jab but could not afford to get the test eg care workers. I’m sure others in the freedom movement would feel the same way.

They’ve been doing it seriously since the mid 90s.

I’m in Cornwall at the moment and woke at 6am to a glorious blue sky. The atmospheric sprayers (chemtrailers) have now done their job across the path of the sun in the east, and the glorious blue sky has gone already.. its now 8.11am..

I’m utterly sickened by it.. its Geoengineering and happening nearly every day. I urge people to watch the video below.. THE DIMMING.. it really is the greatest threat to us and our planet..

George Soros and Bill gates are the greatest threat to our planet. Between them, they command enormous influence over the lives of every living thing. I see them as the front men however. It’s the ones still in the shadows who are manipulating events, and these two saps, that really concern me. I have no other way to describe them other than demonic and there’s nothing more demonic than subjecting us all to darkness. It just makes me more emboldened to push back wherever I see this insidious agenda trying to sneak through as something reasonable.

You’re right. Child abuse is being legitimized. Social workers would have removed kids from parents who demonstrated such poor parenting skills and who are demonstrably profoundly mentally ill themselves, but in Clown World where all in authority are fully paid-up members of The Cult of Woke, it will never happen. Stubbing cigarettes out on a child = child abuse, tell your kid they’re in the wrong body, start them on hormones in primary school and get their breasts chopped off = gender affirming care/good parenting. 🙁

What has not gone unnoticed by me is that most of the videos or photo footage I see it’s the mothers driving and enabling all of this. Not always but most of the time there seems to be no dad around. Now don’t tell me that all of these ‘trans kids’ are being brought up in single-parent families or by trans parents, where the biological father has zero contact. But at the same time, what kind of father would take a back seat and be totally fine with these horrific things happening to his kid, just passively not getting involved as his wife has all of this sh*t handled? Something fishy is going on and I’d be interested to hear a psychiatrist or psychologist’s viewpoint on this aspect. If a study of the home life of these kids were to be done, what would that home life look like? What would the psychological profile of the mother and father ( if he isn’t absent ) look like I wonder?

Everywhere I go, I come across some reference to ‘carbon’ or ‘zero’ or ‘neutral’. It’s become quite the done thing to advertise your business as ‘carbon neutral’ when in truth we know that no business can ever be carbon neutral. Everything comes from somewhere else and that involves one or more of these: extraction, processing, manufacturing, transporting etc – and THAT involves fuel. Carbon based fuel.

Calling Farage a “fascist” demonstrates a remarkable ignorance/lack of ability to use a dictionary or encyclopaedia, or simply pathetic desperation. From what I understand of his political and world views he’s a million miles away from “fascism” in most areas, except perhaps his belief in the importance of national sovereignty- but until recently belief in national sovereignty was orthodoxy. I don’t know why they didn’t just do their usual trick of calling him a racist because of his opposition to mass illegal immigration. Perhaps they are worried he will sue them for defamation.

CDC prepares to recommend annual flu jabs for no reason….

US Congressman Brad Wenstrup has asked that the new Director of the CDC provide the evidence to support an annual Covid booster…..

I know we have been here before, and it just gets swept under the carpet…but he’s asked, and a least the ‘evidence’ should be presented for us all to see…?
