In spring 2021, the American basketball player Brandon Goodwin, then of the Atlanta Hawks, developed severe fatigue and back pain, which would force him to miss that year’s NBA playoffs. Several months later, in September, Goodwin revealed in a Twitch stream that he had been diagnosed with blood clots and that his problems began in the immediate aftermath of being vaccinated against COVID-19.
“I was fine… until I took the vaccine,” Goodwin said. “I was fine… Yes, the vaccine ended my season, one thousand percent.”
Astonishingly, however, Brandon Goodwin’s post-vaccine troubles with blood clots have been entirely purged from his Wikipedia entry. The current version of his Wikipedia entry simply reads “Goodwin missed the 2021 NBA playoffs due to a respiratory condition”, without any source being given.
It was in fact his employer, the Atlanta Hawks, that had announced in May that Goodwin would miss the playoffs due to a “minor” respiratory condition, as reported by the Associated Press. In his September 29th Twitch stream, however, Goodwin revealed not only that he had in fact been suffering from post-vaccine blood clots, but also that a Hawks official called him while in the hospital and told him, “Don’t say anything about it, don’t tell nobody”.
For an account of the episode, see Megan Redshaw’s article at Children’s Health Defence. The Twitch stream is no longer available, but relevant excerpts have been preserved by the Daily Caller.
Despite back-and-forth among Wikipedia editors about whether blood clots should be described as a ‘known’, ‘rare’ or ‘common’ side effect of COVID-19 vaccines, as of February 26th 2022, Goodwin’s Wikipedia entry still included the following passage:
On October 3rd 2021, with his season having ended early, Goodwin reported severe fatigue coupled with extreme back pain, and a formal diagnosis of blood clots followed. Blood clots is a common side-effect connected to COVID-19 vaccination. Goodwin has made public he had received a vaccination shot just prior to his blood clot diagnosis.
By two days later, there was no longer any mention of his blood clots or the vaccine.
A Wikipedia editor attempted to justify an earlier deletion of reference to Goodwin’s post-vaccine blood clots by noting that Goodwin had “recanted” his claims. The term is well chosen.
By the time of his Twitch stream, Goodwin had been let go by the Atlanta Hawks. In an apparent attempt to get back in the good graces of the NBA, on October 14th – the very day he signed a non-guaranteed contract with the New York Knicks and just before the start of the NBA season – Goodwin posted an exculpatory tweet insisting:
I don’t have a story. That wasn’t something I wanted to get out there. I got sick. Maybe it was the vaccine maybe it was Covid [I don’t know] I’m not a expert. But I’m fine, and I’m healthy and about to play.
It was presumably also around this time that Goodwin made his Twitch stream private. He is presently out of the league.
Have other NBA players likewise been put under pressure to cover up adverse reactions to a COVID-19 vaccine? Well, on the same day that Brandon Goodwin posted his exculpatory tweet, Brooklyn Nets centre Nic Claxton revealed after a pre-season game that he was feeling unwell with what the New York Post would later call a “mystery illness“. Claxton would not play again for the next month-and-a-half.
News reports described symptoms of fatigue reminiscent of the problems Goodwin was having earlier in the year. On October 31st, the Brooklyn Nets announced that Claxton was suffering from an otherwise unspecified “non-Covid-related illness”.
“Nic is going to be out a little bit,” then Net coach Steve Nash explained:
He’s not feeling well. Nothing to be concerned with but I don’t think he’s going to be back in the next week or 10 days. Just an illness, but it’s nothing major or nothing we’re overly concerned with. It’s just a little more severe illness than we thought initially and I think he’ll miss a little more time.
Mysterious indeed. “Don’t say anything about it, don’t tell nobody”?

2023 is the year of the ‘polycrisis’, according to the WEF. Or should that be ‘polypsyop’?
”And what is the WEF’s “solution” to the very polycrisis that they created?
Or about 100% manufactured by the well over 80% “global leaders.”
In other words, according to the WEF the only answer is more of the same unelected and installed “penetrators”ushering in their hypercentralized One World Government dystopia.”

Honestly, their bullshit percentages don’t mean anything, they’re just the saliva flecked rantings of a megalomaniac. All of these ‘crises’, taken one by one, can be dissected and shown for what they are as you say – manufactured – in order to create the conditions ripe for the One World government. You couldn’t make it up!…er…actually…
The Mail again doing its best to induce another virus scenario , nicely timed leading towards May when the who (I’m not using capitals for that twisted shower) will I’m sure get their Global health power treaty ratified .

“Killing pet cats”: I did actually worry quite seriously about the safety of my cats in April 2020, when the “cats spread the virus” myth started, as by then we had all seen how so many people had total faith in Saint Boris’s lies, and handed over all their rights on a plate, begging for him to take even more from them. I was far more worried about the public believing everything the government said, than any mythical danger posed by a virus. Probably one reason the cat cull did not happen is that the government would have had to send executioners into people’s homes to do this, which would have clashed with the “nobody must see anybody” commandment, and said executioners might have been killed by angry cat owners, who would of course be at home, on Saint Boris’s orders. Perhaps the government knew they would never be able to get enough vets onside.
“Boris Johnson must take credit for not locking down for the Omicron variant”: Oh yes, give him a medal, as well as the £5 million he has allegedly earned since being PM, which was probably his only reason for becoming PM: he wanted the glory of it, and none of the work. It would have been better if he had resisted the calls for the first, second and third lockdowns, if he had made his trademark “I do things my way” into the decision not to copy the rest of the world. He would be far more respected now. Poor diddums, it’s a shame he never got the chance to stand at his podium and make a big announcement about the end of restrictions, because the spin machine was then all Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.
As for the Whatsapp messages: we need to be sceptical about this. It may be a double-bluff, a deliberate leak (haven’t we seen those before?), a stage-managed scandal, a damage limitation exercise, possibly planned three years ago, to make us angry about what might have been, so that they can say “we should have locked down harder, faster, longer”, and we are breathing a sigh of relief that they didn’t kill our cats, that all those who were in government are now out, having been replaced with more compliant puppets. I find it very hard to believe that killing cats was ever a serious consideration; this has “deliberate leak” written all over it. The spin “we didn’t know how bad the virus would be, so we had to lock down” is as clear as daylight here, and is probably the first in a long line of other things they “might” have done, so that we thank the Devil for not doing these things.
It all smacks of useful idiots being fed their lines by the stage prompter.
They killed the cats and dogs in the 1660s too, thereby helping the rat population. Nice to know we’ve moved on from such superstitious nonsense.
I still remember that bloody dreadful event in Australia where they shot the dogs in the animal shelter rather than have people travel over there to take them home. Because ‘public health’! Absolute sickos. What sort of a psychopath do you have to be to even consider doing something so evil?
There was similar madness on show during the foot and mouth outbreak of 2001. Locally, a man with a rifle dispatched a small herd of ‘contiguous’ sheep in an enclosure. His aim was poor but he was determined, and randomly fired at the poor beasts running about in panic until he had either killed them, or disabled them enough to stop running so he could administer the coup de gras. There was no penalty for his cruel actions.
I believe if the government had said to kill all cats, a large amount of covidians would have done the job for them, with local ‘seek and destroy’ groups set up to ‘keep us safe’. Sad to say, despite attitudes cooling a bit, I still think it wouldn’t take much to whip up a certain portion of the population into a similar hysterical response.
Having said that, the cat story is a very good psy-ops line to keep the population worried and anxious, isn’t it?
“… Saint Boris’s lies,”
They weren’t his. The populations of nearly all sovereign nations became entrapped by the WHO (CCP) narratives that were propagated using lurid imagery from China and northern Italy. With populations made suitably petrified and therefore suggestable most governments went along with what their citizens demanded – ‘lock me down harder, Boris’, or whoever. Opposition parties complained that Boris was not severe enough. This was all driven by Master Tedrous at the WHO and the CCP.
Kate Wand put together an excellent expose of Fauci and his relationship with the CCP. It is a conspiracy and it’s not a theory. In this video Chinese Professor Zhong Nanshan asserts that economies must not open up until everyone has been vaccinated which may take 2 to 3 years (Fauci agrees), while China was fully open and has not vaccinated it’s entire population. ‘Prof’ Nanshan goes on to say natural herd immunity will not work because it is unscientific and inhuman.

“The UN Discusses Darkening The Skies to Combat Climate Change”
And what God has given them the right to darken my part of the sky?
There’s actually some Hollywood film that is about darkened skies but that is because the Sun is dying not because of an idiot attempt at darkening our own skies in the belief that it would make a difference. It’ll just spread nano-particles all over the world and we have no idea what they will do. The ideas just get more and more ridiculous. Who are these scientists who suggest such things? More importantly however, who are the people who take the scientists seriously? Is there no common sense and balanced thinking going on in the UN corridors?
“Bird flu has mutated to infect people
Thankfully its not something us blokes need to worry about…
Of course it has. The assault is relentless – swine flu, avian flu, goat flu, dog flu, guinea pig flu, chimney flue…. Once the WHO gets its treaty signed, they’ll be able to dictate the response. That must never be allowed to happen.
With respect, I think you missed the word play on ‘Birds/Blokes’.
I agree we can see where this is going and I for one will not be playing along with anything the WHO says must happen. I do expect that our so called government will sign up to this horses arse of an agreement.
No, Neil, I totally got it but I was responding to the headline not your joke.

Toby says there was no plandemic. This is Robert Malone’s testimony:
The blocking of “early treatment” and/or “drug repurposing” as well as advocacy for genetic vaccines which were presumed (without adequate testing) to be “safe and effective” was supported by an aggressive, harmonized global censorship and propaganda campaign, with significant funding (~US $10 Billion) provided by the US Government.
In addition to US and global suppression (notably except in Mexico) of the prompt use of known (often off-patent) drug therapies to treat the respiratory symptoms of COVID-19 disease, and the disproportionate emphasis on genetic vaccine development and deployment, a number of other counterproductive actions were taken in the name of public health. Most or all of these were modeled after measures implemented by the CCP in China. In many cases, these actions were previously not recommended by the WHO or national health authorities, but these policies were changed in response to the fear of COVID-19. These included arbitrary “lockdowns”, prevention of public assembly, mandated use of particle masks which were neither effective nor designed for preventing viral transmission, arbitrary six foot “social distancing” policies, school closure, alterations in normal medical procedures (diagnostic testing and evaluation, elective surgeries), travel restrictions, vaccine passports and tracking, and many other related procedures justified as advancing “public health” objectives but which were not supported by established scientific evidence.
Much of the national US and global response was managed by the National Security apparatus and Department of Defense of the United States, acting together with the Department of Homeland Security, and these activities included a massive propaganda, psychological operations and censorship program which acted as part of a globally harmonized program in coordination with the World Health Organization, GAVI, CEPI, CDC, EMA and the BBC-Managed Trusted News Initiative to restrict public access and counter any information different from the WHO-approved narrative regarding SARS-CoV-2, COVID, drug treatment protocols and vaccine safety and efficacy. Distribution of any information contradicting official WHO or CDC messaging was deemed mis- dis- or mal-information and defined as potential domestic terrorism. The US Government, and many separate US federal agencies, coordinated closely with WHO, large technology and social media companies to censor and control all information concerning virus, drugs, and vaccines.
On top of a whole series of exercises simulating a globally coordinated response to the ‘next pandemic’ (Event 201 being the last) which Toby ignores, the above is powerful evidence that the governments did not merely take decisions on the hoof, uninfluenced by advisers who after 20 years of simulations already had a script to follow.
….agreed Steven..the withdrawal of treatments, of all kinds, is one of the most egregious things to have happened during the con..and I believe it cost many people their lives……they knew when they took HCQ and Ivermectin from the shelves in the US, that they could be used for treatment..
This study from 2005 shows that chloroquine is a ‘potent inhibitor of SARS’…
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1232869/
The fact that the study had been ‘fact-checked’ many times during the scam, tells me that they knew about it from the start and tried very hard to discredit it…
As an aside at least two people I know have recently had letters from the NHS telling them that they’ll be receiving testing kits as ‘there are now treatments for Covid-19 that can be prescribed” should you get Covid!!
Both of these people have had cancer in the past, but both are fit and well..and unvaccinated….
The treatments are Paxlovid, Veklury (Remdesivir), Lagevrio (Molnupiravir) and Xevudy, a monoclonal antibody……
As far as I’m aware, all new, and all experimental, with few studies, and no long term safety data…and in some cases some well known serious side effects.

Related to digital pound, on the two petitions to the House of Commons being looked at on Keeping Cash, they have commissioned a Survey on Acceptance of Cash. This must be completed by 10am on Thursday 9 March, but is very quick and easy to do. My including a link is likely to result in whole message being censored, but the link is available through yesterday’s UK Column News, being the last item on the topic of Parliamentary Petitions in the Summary
The first petition (making it unlawful for shops top refuse cash) is closed. The second one requiring businesses and public services is still open. The link is here: petitionDOTparliamentDOTukSLASHpetitionsSLASH622284 – .’s and /’s obviously
Lori Lightfoot has failed in her bid to be re-elected as Mayor of Chicago. I like to think her attitude and policies towards those who declined the gene therapy injection might have had something to do with it.
