Morning HP, we definitely have the strength, although personally I’m going to probably have a short break from commenting, while I re-group…family wise, and give them a bit of attention….
I will be reading everyone’s comments every day though, and will dip in if I see something I think is important, and no doubt as we plunge into an uncertain winter,
I’ll be back! (There’s a reason why it’s a great line!)…

This is cheering anyway….

Whether it’s covid NPI insanity or fatally idealistic net zero policies I always believed that at some point reality would dawn on these cretins setting these policies.

It was a scary moment for me some time ago when I realised that it’s actually a cult, that they are so brainwashed that no amount of contact with reality is going to change their minds.

We have to deal with them on those terms, somehow they have to be de-radicalised just as you would the fanatical devotees of some herpes riddled svengali jacked up on LSD whilst locked away in a compound in rural Texas. At least those dupes largely kept themselves to themselves.

Exactly correct , my mom – Midwife then later a nursing ward sister took up Jehova Witnessing when I was about 12 ! I would have none of it & I became to see it as a cult . The young ( some not so anymore ) globalists have as you say been captured by a cultist ideology which their masters exploit ( actual useful idiots) just like the people at the top of the Jehova religion who I always thought are living in probable decadence, high on the hog while their footsoldiers sell the Watchtower magazine believing in eternal life while wasting the one they’ve got !…

We won’t be able to change their opinions by directly challenging them, they’re too indoctrinated for that route to be feasible. They’re sheep & will follow the most likely/plausible/strongest leader of the flock. The WEF & their ilk are hyenas who purport to lead. Knowing their plans is important so that we can lead the change by being the better option for the flock to follow.
We have to be the lions. We are the Resistance. Every little action of civil disobedience which thwarts the roll out of their designs will eventually add up to a critical mass of disobedience & resistance.

One or two well trained border collies and a skilled handler can manage a large flock of sheep quite well, to continue the analogy. Might be a form of entertainment, or a source of revenue etc for some.

Hmmm… Further evidence to support that the covid management was planned rather than cock-up….

They plan things many decades in advance. If there is one thing evil is good at is being patient. They know everything can be achieved slowly, one small step at a time, so you almost don’t realise where you are heading, until it’s too late.

Luckily increasing amounts of people are becoming aware of the dangerous road we are on.

This is vital information for any parent or grandparent to inform choices & decisions about childhood vaccination.
If I had my time again, my daughter would not have received any of these.

“I gathered all vaccine ingredients into a list and contacted Poison Control. After intros and such, and asking to speak with someone tenured and knowledgeable, this is the gist of that conversation.

Me: My question to you is how are these ingredients categorized? As benign or poison? (I ran a few ingredients, formaldehyde, Tween 80, mercury, aluminum, phenoxyethanol, potassium phosphate, sodium phosphate, sorbitol, etc.)

He: Well, that’s quite a list… But I’d have to easily say that they’re all toxic to humans… Used in fertilizers… Pesticides… To stop the heart… To preserve a dead body… They’re registered with us in different categories, but pretty much poisons. Why?

Me: If I were deliberately to feed or inject my child with these ingredients often, as a schedule, obviously I’d put my daughter in harm’s way… But what would legally happen to me?

He: Odd question… But you’d likely be charged with criminal negligence… perhaps with intent to kill… and of course child abuse… Your child would be taken away from you… Do you know of someone’s who’s doing this to their child? This is criminal…

Me: An industry… These are the ingredients used in vaccines… With binding agents to make sure the body won’t flush these out… To keep the antibody levels up indefinitely…

The man was beside himself. He asked if I would email him all this information. He wanted to share it with his adult kids who are parents. He was horrified and felt awful he didn’t know… his kids are vaccinated and they have health issues…”

~ By Iris Figueroa 

Here are just SOME vaccine ingredients present in routine vaccines:

Formaldehyde/Formalin – Highly toxic systematic poison and carcinogen.

25fe.svgBetapropiolactone – Toxic chemical and carcinogen. May cause death/permanant injury after very short exposure to small quantities. Corrosive chemical.

Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide – May cause damage to the liver, cardiovascular system, and central nervous system. May cause reproductive effects and birth defects.

Aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, and aluminum salts – Neurotoxin. Carries risk for long term brain inflammation/swelling, neurological disorders, autoimmune disease, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism. It penetrates the brain where it persists indefinitely.

Thimerosal (mercury) – Neurotoxin. Induces cellular damage, reduces oxidation-reduction activity, cellular degeneration, and cell death. Linked to neurological disorders, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism.

Polysorbate 80 & 20 – Trespasses the Blood-Brain Barrier and carries with it aluminum, thimerosal, and viruses; allowing it to enter the brain.

Glutaraldehyde – Toxic chemical used as a disinfectant for heat sensitive medical equipment.

Fetal Bovine Serum – Harvested from bovine (cow) fetuses taken from pregnant cows before slaughter.

Human Diploid Fibroblast Cells – aborted fetal cells. Foreign DNA has the ability to interact with our own.

African Green Monkey Kidney Cells – Can carry the SV-40 cancer-causing virus that has already tainted about 30 million Americans.

Acetone – Can cause kidney, liver, and nerve damage.

E.Coli – Yes, you read that right.

DNA from porcine (pig) Circovirus type-1

Human embryonic lung cell cultures (from aborted fetuses)

You can view all of these ingredients on the CDCs website.

Yes, I agree…my older dog hasn’t had a booster for the last two years and I’m not planning on giving him any more…I now know that the whole vaccine thing, whether human or animal, is predominantly about money…I will be looking at every single medical procedure offered to me, mine, or my pets, with a fine tooth comb……before I sign up for anything.
It’s not even just the ingredients…I now know what to look for in ‘trial data’, and I know how much it is skewed….that’s the reason I won’t ever be getting a flu jab either…
