Kim Jong Un Sends Hundreds Of Sh*t-Filled Balloons Into South Korea
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/kim-jong-un-sends-hundreds-sht-filled-balloons-south-koreaNorth Korea is literally sending sh*t ballons across the border into South Korea. Hundreds of balloons were spotted Wednesday drifting into South Korean territory, some of them with the word “excrement” written on them.
This is because the balloons were loaded with feces and other rubbish as they drifted over the heavily fortified border. Seoul released photos of the aftermath of some balloons having popped on city streets, releasing their foul contents all over heavily trafficked streets.
Has everyone got the message? There is no faith in Daddy government yet? Stop giving your power and attention to this tower of clowns? They are incompetent at best and do everything bad at worst? Including start WWIII and create Covid?
Speaking of, my how time flies! Here we are, everybody wondering, why did no Trump save us! save us! Daddy government, when I was out here, all alone, hammering on this 9 months saying “Something’s wrong with Covid. Something isn’t right. I think it might even be a scam.” Nary a peep for months leaving me hanging out here taking fire.
Suddenly, Lo! WE ALL KNEW it was a scam. We all, ALWAYS knew. You weren’t out there all alone all those months, it was just your lyin’ imagination.
…And now, AFTER NOT KNOWING OURSELVES. After DENYING IT AND NOT SAVING OURSELVES, we’re saying “Gosh but golly why didn’t TRUMP save us? I have no responsibility for myself, I only follow the OTHER guy doing it. Yeah! It’s HIS fault!” He DID say. He DID try. You saw what happened.
So don’t make me go back in the archives and point out who was on this and on what day each of — Us — woke up. Because I was on “It’s serious, get masks, this could be it” at first too, AND THEN I had to ALSO eat crow and flip flop as the data came in. For a super-double-triple Hat Trick of admitting wrong so I could be right. …And are we right now?
…Are we really? I don’t see anybody noticing. I don’t personally see 6-sigma death rates although higher death rates are in the stats and anecdotes. So again, they say it’s 6-sigma and it’s really only 2 Sigma so they can divide us and hate your friends?
Oh it was Trump that’s wrong. And we, we were always right. ‘Just sayin.
Don’t put your faith in human beings. Human beings are unreliable things.
Man I don’t even know how I can remember a song that small and that long ago. Makes you wonder about human memory.
I don’t have much to add to the conversations here in the comments section, only an occasional sarcastic remark. But I love coming here every day – actually every morning before I even get out of bed – to read what people are thinking.
Many thanks to RIM for curating this website. I started coming here after COVID started (that seems to make me a newb here) and it has provided me with excellent perspective and sanity. And thought-provoking commentary. Also some great imagery, such as “airtight fart bubble” (thanks Dr. D!). I get a great laugh every time I have the opportunity to use that one, which seems to be with greater frequency as time passes.
I read once that the two most important skills to develop for the future are CONCENTRATION (ability to focus) and CREATIVITY. Because computers will do everything else. (For folks on the Left I might add “humor” as a skill to be developed).
I think that actually READING the news is important as opposed to “listening” or “watching”. Reading demands focus. I think reading engages a brain in a different (more important) way. Here is where I come to read.
I can’t remember where I read it (remembering is a skill I need to develop) but I understand that graduate school applicants are saying they are trans when applying for grad school. And then I heard recently about a pilot interviewing for an airline job who was told by the interviewers that they were looking for “diverse” pilots. He responded by saying “OK then I’m trans”.
I think it’s a brilliant strategy. If everybody is trans then nobody is trans and the issue disappears. Because nobody actually cares about this issue except for the paid activists and crazies. Companies can’t ask you to “prove” you’re trans because that would be an invasion of your privacy; not to mention sickening. All they can do is take you at your word. Particularly if they believe trans is a “spectrum”.
Anyway, that’s all I got today. Get some fresh air…
We just got our “extreme weather” event.

The Real Global Agenda Pushing for War with China , by Cynthia Chung, starts with China’s 1849-1949 “century of humiliation”, but I always get stuck on The City of London Corporation. Any country that does not pay-tribute to “The Corporation” is a “threat to its interests”. I sent this out a couple of summers ago. Here it is again. Thanks Jane.
Though the (City of London) Corporation’s origins cannot be specifically dated, since there was never a “surviving” charter found establishing its “legal” basis, it has kept its functions to this day based on the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta is a charter of rights agreed to by King John in 1215, which states that “the City of London shall have/enjoy its ancient liberties”. In other words, the legal function of the Corporation has never been questioned, reviewed, re-evaluated EVER but rather it has been left to legally function as in accordance with their “ancient liberties”, which is a very grey description of function if you ask me. In other words, they are free to do as they deem fit…
..In the 1950s, to “adapt” to the changing global financial climate, the City of London set up what are called “secrecy jurisdictions”. These were to operate within the last remnants of Britain’s small territories/colonies. Of Britain’s 14 oversea territories, 7 are bona fide tax havens or “secrecy jurisdictions”. A separate international financial market was also created to facilitate the flow of this offshore money, the Eurodollar market. Since this market has its banks outside of the UK and U.S., they are not under the jurisdiction of either country.
By 1997, nearly 90% of all international loans were made through this market[2].
John Christensen, an investigative economist, estimates that this capital that legally belongs to nobody could amount to as high as $50 trillion within these British territories. Not only is this not being taxed, but a significant portion of it has been stolen from sectors of the real economy…
..Worldwide, it is estimated that developing countries lose $1 trillion every year in capital flight and tax evasion. Most of this wealth goes back into the UK and U.S. through these offshore havens, and allows their currencies to stay strong whilst developing nations’ currencies are kept weak.
However, developing nations are not the only ones to have suffered from this system of looting. The very economies of the UK and U.S. have also been gutted. In the 1960s and onward, the UK and U.S., to compensate for the increase in money flow out of their countries decided that it was a good idea to open their domestic markets to the trillions of dollars passing through its offshore havens.
However, such banks are not interested in putting their money into industry and manufacturing. They put their money into real estate speculation, financial speculation and foreign currency trade. And thus, the financialization of British and American economies resulted, and the real jobs coming from the real economy decreased or disappeared.
Although many economists try to claim differently, the desperation has boiled over. We have reached a point now where every western first world country is struggling with a much higher unemployment rate and a significantly lower standard of living than 40 years ago. Along with increased poverty has followed increased drug use,
increased suicide and increased crime…
..Why are China’s international relations seen as a threat to U.S. national security? The short answer to this is competition, and the slightly longer answer is that China is forming an alliance of countries against the economic strait jacket that was first imposed by the British Empire under its free trade doctrine and which is enforced today in the interests of the Anglo-American Empire. https://cynthiachung.substack.com/p/the-real-global-agenda-pushing-forA CIVILIZATION BEYOND REALITY , Gaius Baltar [Not long. Here is his summary.]
Based on this (somewhat speculative) analysis, a global war is unavoidable. It will be a full-spectrum war the West will fight – not for the existence of western civilization – but for its subjugation and destruction. It is perhaps the first war in history where a civilization fights a war so it can safely commit suicide. We are actually there. https://gaiusbaltar.substack.com/p/a-civilization-beyond-realityRon Paul, Biden’s Tariffs Are Another Nail in the Dollar’s Coffin
Last year, China and Saudi Arabia agreed to expand their use of their own currencies in trade between the two countries. This is the first time the Saudis have agreed to use a currency other than the dollar for the oil trade since Henry Kissinger negotiated a deal where the Saudis would trade exclusively in dollars in return for US support for the Saudi regime. The “petrodollar” is a major reason why the dollar retained the world reserve currency status after President Nixon severed the last link between the dollar and gold.
If the dollar loses its world reserve currency status, the US government would lose the ability to “weaponize the dollar.” Other countries would then have less incentive to abide by US demands, including related to regime changes. It would also reduce other countries’ interest in purchasing US debt instruments. This would increase pressure on the Federal Reserve to monetize the debt, creating more price inflation and leading to a major economic crisis. This will not just end the US military and financial empire abroad. It will also end the welfare state at home. https://ronpaulinstitute.org/bidens-tariffs-are-another-nail-in-the-dollars-coffin/ECB tells banks to ‘get out of Russia’, Italian lenders must quit the country to avoid a “reputational problem,” a European Central Bank policymaker has warned
The risk of a US crackdown has reportedly spurred the ECB to up the pressure on European financial institutions still working in Russia.
Apart from RBI, UniCredit, and Intesa Sanpaolo, a number of other EU banks – notably the Dutch lender ING, Germany’s Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank, Hungary’s OTP Bank, and Sweden’s SEB –maintain a presence in the Russian market despite Western sanctions.
According to the Financial Times, the regulator has sent letters to lenders with a request for an “action plan” to fold their business in Russia as early as June.
Earlier this month Reuters reported that the US Treasury had threatened to cut off Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI)’s access to the American financial system due to its activities in Russia. RBI said it would start withdrawing in the third quarter of this year following pressure from the ECB. https://swentr.site/business/598273-ecb-tells-banks-get-out-of-russia/Craig Murray: The Drive for War In the West, any deviation from any point in the architecture of neoliberal beliefs is a challenge to the entire system, and thus must be eradicated. https://consortiumnews.com/2024/05/25/craig-murray-the-drive-for-war/
Russia And Iran Under Threat From The South | France Allowed The Attack. Military Summary 2024.05.29 At the beginning, Dima makes the point that the strategic Russian early-warning installations which were successfully hit by Ukraine with drones in recent days do not cover Russia’s border with Ukraine, or Russia’s exposure to Europe at all, but rather cover the airspace between Russia and Iran, making both Russia and Iran more vulnerable to nuclear strikes from places like Bahrain, for instance.

John Helmer, THE POPSKI SYNDROME – ALLIED DEFEAT TURNS INTO BATTLEFIELD FANTASIES
A veteran US military observer is not sanguine about the rationality of the US and British officers directing Ukrainian operations. He warns that the British, and also the CIA, have an inordinate faith in special operations to turn the tide, and in their own cleverness to think them up. “What we’re seeing — with Israel, too,” according to this source, “is years of impunity resulting in an epic, murderous tantrum that’s having the opposite of its intended effect. It’s certainly not beyond either of them to play nuclear chicken. Most people would say that if you do that, you’re insane. But they think a special operation playing nuclear chicken with the Russians is clever, potentially effective.”
“And so I think there’s going to be a nuclear war. The people who run things in the West have made up their minds that if they can’t rule, there will be nothing to rule. I guess we must figure now whether British and Ukrainian madness will prevail over US cowardice.” https://johnhelmer.net/the-popski-syndrome-allied-defeat-turns-into-battlefield-fantasies/#more-89906Gilbert Doctorow, Ukrainian strikes on Russian early warning radar installations: a strategic blow or an irrelevancy?
I am obliged to say a few words about the press conference which Vladimir Putin held at Tashkent airport on Monday at the conclusion of what appears to have been a very successful three day visit to Uzbekistan with a large government and business delegation. Meeting with representatives of the Russian media, he addressed directly the idea suggested by Jens Stoltenberg, by David Cameron and now by Emanuel Macron that Ukraine should be given free hands to do what it will with the long range attack missiles and other hardware being supplied to it by the NATO countries, meaning it should be allowed to strike deep into Russian Federation territory to destroy military bases there.
Putin directed attention to the utter falseness of this concept, saying that these weapons all require space based reconnaissance data for targeting that Ukraine does not possess but is receiving from French, German, US and other military personnel. In effect, the missiles are targeted by NATO officers who may also push the launch button, if this is not left to the Ukrainians, who may not even be aware where the missiles are heading.
By saying this, Putin has pulled away the fig leaf of NATO’s supposed non-co-belligerent status. This is an entirely new messaging from Moscow and it is just a hair’s breadth away from declaration of war.
At the same time, Putin spoke directly to the leaders of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, reminding them that they are really very small countries with very dense populations and that they should think twice before declaring, as the Prime Minister of Estonia did last week, that the task now is ‘to bring Russia to its knees.’ His remarks may be described as a direct threat to wipe the Baltics from the face of the earth.
Who now insists that Putin’s mildness and restraint give cause for misjudging his readiness to defend Russian sovereignty whatever the cost? https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/05/29/ukrainian-strikes-on-russian-early-warning-radar-installations-a-strategic-blow-or-an-irrelevancy/Alastair Crooke, The brink of dissolution: Neurosis in the West as the levee breaks
The western thought processes, Lavrov said, are veering round dangerously to “the contours of the formation of a European military alliance – with a nuclear component”. Lavrov lamented that “they have made a choice in favour of a showdown on the battlefield: We are ready for this”. “The agenda to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia militarily and otherwise – is pure fantasy and it will be resolutely countered”…
..With the U.S. unable to exit or to moderate its determination to preserve its hegemony, Lavrov sees the prospect for increased western weapons provision for Ukraine. The discourse of military escalation is in fashion in Europe (of that there is no doubt); but both in the Middle East and Ukraine, western policy is in deep trouble. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/05/27/brink-dissolution-neurosis-in-west-as-levee-breaks/Led Zeppelin – When The Levee Breaks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM3fodiK9rY
NATO descending into ‘wartime ecstasy’ – Kremlin , The US-led bloc has been long-involved in hostilities with Russia despite claiming otherwise, Dmitry Peskov says He was speaking in response to the military bloc’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg advocating the removal of restrictions on use of Western weaponry by Ukraine.
Stoltenberg’s remarks can be only considered as the official stance of the entire US-led military bloc and Russia will respond accordingly, Peskov told the Izvestia newspaper on Monday. “This cannot be his personal opinion. He is an official, he is the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and that is how we perceive it. NATO is increasing the degree of escalation, NATO is flirting with warlike rhetoric, falling into ‘wartime ecstasy.’ This is the reality we have to continue to deal with,” Peskov stated. https://swentr.site/russia/598293-nato-conflict-wartime-ecstasy/THE BRITISH ECONOMIC TRAP – A SEEDS ANALYSIS [My comment that Andrew Bridgen says “Rishi refuses to be a wartime prime minister” was not accepted.]

It is difficult to imagine a more depraved, brutal and cowardly act than bombing refugee families in their tents, but I think we now all understand there is no moral depth which the terrorist entity that is Israel will not plumb.
I think you know I have been regularly crying hot tears over the slaughter of innocents and the complicity of the western states. I hope that you will understand it is not from indifference to the unspeakable suffering, that I respond with a disquisition on grammar.
There was an extraordinary unanimity across the entire mainstream media in giving the same misrepresentation of the recent ICJ Order to Israel to stop operations in Gaza. How does it happen that both media and political class unite in pumping out the same misinterpretation of a document, when that interpretation is not only wrong but impossible?
We are told that the ICJ did not unambiguously order Israel to stop its operations in Rafah, but left “wiggle room” for Israel to conduct operations in a surgical manner without endangering civilians.
The propaganda line goes that Israel was only ordered to halt its offensive insofar as it may cause conditions that could endanger the Palestinian group as a whole.
But what the court said is this:
Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2024/05/genocide-in-rafah-and-the-icj/

Revealed: Israeli spy chief ‘threatened’ ICC prosecutor over war crimes inquiry
The former head of the Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, allegedly threatened a chief prosecutor of the international criminal court in a series of secret meetings in which he tried to pressure her into abandoning a war crimes investigation, the Guardian can reveal.
Yossi Cohen’s covert contacts with the ICC’s then prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, took place in the years leading up to her decision to open a formal investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in occupied Palestinian territories.
That investigation, launched in 2021, culminated last week when Bensouda’s successor, Karim Khan, announced that he was seeking an arrest warrant for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, over the country’s conduct in its war in Gaza. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/28/israeli-spy-chief-icc-prosecutor-war-crimes-inquiryRussia Is Preparing To Strategically Partner With The Taliban, Andrew Korybko
The driving force for removing the Taliban’s terrorist designation and inviting it to next month’s investment forum is the desire to make tangible progress on reaching a strategic energy deal with Pakistan, which would complete its Ummah Pivot and Greater Eurasian Partnership…
..Russia’s previous threat perception of the Taliban has disappeared, and it now considers the group to be a regional security provider with respect to containing ISIS-K. Moreover, Afghanistan’s location enables it to facilitate Russian trade with Pakistan, both commercial and energy. These interests have combined to inspire Russia to more openly embrace this group, which comes ahead of next month’s investment forum and October’s BRICS Summit…
..Russia sees Afghanistan as an indispensable part of its larger geostrategic reorientation to Muslim-majority countries, while the Taliban believes that Russia can help their country preemptively avert potentially disproportionate dependence on China and especially Pakistan…
..Something big is obviously in the works between them judging by the timing of Russia’s deliberations on removing the Taliban from its terrorist list just before next week’s St. Petersburg International Investment Forum. In all likelihood, not only does Russia expect to make progress on its reportedly planned Afghan oil hub, but there might even be an update about President Putin’s envisaged delivery of Russian pipeline gas to Pakistan through Afghanistan that he mentioned only once in September 2022. https://korybko.substack.com/p/russia-is-preparing-to-strategicallyJohn Helmer, IRAN INCIDENT, PERSIAN PUTSCH — EVIDENCE THAT PRESIDENT RAISI, FOREIGN MINISTER AMIR-ABDOLLAHIAN WERE MURDERED
The release of fresh details of the fatal helicopter flight on May 19 which killed Iran’s President, Ebrahim Raisi, and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian is ruling out bad weather, machine failure, signals interference, on-board bomb or ground-fired missile as the cause of the crash. Iranian civilian, military and clerical officials are also excluding Israeli or US involvement.
Instead, Raisi’s chief of staff, Gholam-Hossein Esmaeili, a civilian lawyer and Raisi loyalist for many years, has described a sequence of details, preceding and following the incident, which hint at suicide murder by one of the pilots of the presidential aircraft…
..”At the end of the day, a significant part of the documents related to the helicopter crash have been collected and for some parts and documents, more time is needed, which after the evaluation and expert work and more detailed expertise will be heard in the next announcements and heard by the noble and revolutionary nation of Iran; therefore, [the Army] demands that inexpert comments based on speculation without any accurate knowledge of the reality of the scene or sometimes under direction of foreign media in cyberspace should not be published.”
The warning at the end of the General Staff report has been ignored by the oppositionist Iranian media organization, Iran International TV, which is hinting that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) plotted to kill the president. Iran International is an anti-clerical, anti-regime publication based in London and Washington, and reportedly financed by Saudi Arabia. https://johnhelmer.net/iran-incident-persian-putsch-evidence-that-president-raisi-foreign-minister-amir-abdollahian-were-murdered/#more-89893Was Blinken intentionally saying “gotcha”? Blinken’s blunders epitomize the bankruptcy of U.S. power and diplomacy
As the Iranian nation mourned the tragic death of President Ebrahim Raisi this week, the United States could not even muster a respectful offer of condolence.
The U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, officially that country’s top diplomat, made a crass remark that the Iranian people would be “better off”. This as the Islamic Republic had declared five days of mourning for the late president whose funeral in the city of Mashhad was attended by millions of Iranians…
..On Blinken’s insult over the Iranian president’s death, Russia’s presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed the disgust of many observers around the world when he said: “It is hard to believe that a diplomat — let alone a high-ranking official of a country such as the United States — would make such a clumsy remark, to say the least. In essence, it was an insult directed at an entire nation.”
Apart from the lack of human decency, there is a total lack of politics. Blinken’s offensive comment comes at a moment of extreme tension in the Middle East amid a genocide perpetrated by the Israeli regime with support from the United States. The powder-keg situation could explode at any time into an international war engulfing the entire region. Israel and Iran have already exchanged military blows.
All diplomats worth their salt should be trying to calm tensions, not inflame them. Blinken’s contemptible insult to the Iranian people is a reckless provocation…
..(Words mean what he wants them to mean, right?) Last week, the “top diplomat” embarrassed his office by playing guitar on stage in a bar during an official visit to Kiev. Blinken was in the Ukrainian capital promising billions of dollars more in military aid to prolong a bloody and futile proxy war against Russia. Reliable estimates put the Ukrainian military death toll at over 500,000 in over two years of combat. Yet, here was Blinken strumming electric guitar with a local rock band. Even more cringe-making was his choice of song, Neil Young’s ‘Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World’. Not only was Blinken tone deaf to the horror of war, but he was oblivious to the fact that the song is an explicit condemnation of American imperialist barbarity. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/05/24/blinken-blunders-epitomize-the-bankruptcy-of-us-power-and-diplomacy/U.S. Bankrolling Creation of Deadlier, More Contagious Bird Flu Strains
U.S. health officials only recently admitted to funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China — but for decades, the U.S. government has funded the same type of dangerous research on bird flu in the U.S.
And that research continues today.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) — even the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — have funded or are funding research to make bird flu more pathogenic and/or more transmissible in mammals. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/united-states-bankrolling-creation-deadlier-contagious-bird-flu-strains/Negotiations For The Global Pandemic Treaty Have Broken Down, But Fear Of What Is Coming Next May Revive Them
The World Health Organization was hoping that there would be a vote on the global pandemic treaty at the World Health Assembly at the end of this month, but now that is not going to happen. Negotiations that were supposed to result in a final draft of the treaty have completely broken down, and that is great news because the treaty would have transferred a tremendous amount of authority to the World Health Organization. But if dengue fever continues to rip across the globe like it has been, or if H5N1 mutates into a form that can spread easily from person to person, fear of what is coming next could potentially revive the negotiations…
..The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a summary on Friday that it is preparing for the “possibility of increased risk to human health” from bird flu following an outbreak among dairy cows and two confirmed human cases.
H5N1 has already resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions of birds over the past couple of years, but as long as it wasn’t affecting humans most people weren’t too concerned.
Well, now it has been infecting cows all over the country, and 19 of 23 wastewater sites in Texas recently tested positive for the virus…
In Texas, for example, 19 out of 23 wastewater sites were found to contain traces of the virus between early March and the end of April, according to Texas Wastewater Environmental Biomonitoring. Meanwhile, the state has some 400 dairy farms, and just 14 herds have tested positive for bird flu to date, according to the US Department of Agriculture.
The bird flu has also been showing up in grocery store milk from coast to coast, but experts insist that we should not be concerned because the virus is killed by the pasteurization process.
But officials are warning us not to drink raw milk because they believe that it could “make you very sick”… https://themostimportantnews.com/archives/negotiations-for-the-global-pandemic-treaty-have-broken-down-but-fear-of-what-is-coming-next-may-revive-themHHS to Produce 4.8M Bird Flu Vaccines as 2 New Human Cases Identified (Will you take this kind of bait?)
HHS is preparing 4.8 million H5N1 bird flu vaccine doses amid reports of two new human cases in Michigan and Australia. Meanwhile, the CDC this week urged health officials nationwide to ramp up flu surveillance.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported that the H5 avian flu case in a dairy farm worker was identified through ongoing public health actions, which allowed farm workers to monitor and notify health officials if they developed symptoms, CIDRAP reported.
Reporting on only the second human case of bird flu infection this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the worker’s nasal swab tested negative for H5 influenza. But an eye swab tested positive, suggesting an eye infection similar to a previous case in Texas, reported in April.
Meanwhile, Michigan’s agriculture department reported another H5N1 avian flu outbreak in a dairy herd, bringing the total number of affected farms in the state to 19. The latest outbreak occurred in Gratiot County, where the virus was found at three other dairy farms earlier in the week. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/hhs-bird-flu-vaccines-two-human-cases/U.S. Government ‘Cartel’ Paid CVS, Walgreens Billions to Reject Ivermectin Prescriptions, Push COVID Shots
Dr. James Thorp and attorney Maggie Thorp on Monday published an article in America Out Loud News exposing the U.S. government’s scheme to suppress ivermectin and push COVID-19 shots using some of the nearly $200 billion in “provider relief funds” allocated to hospitals and pharmacies during the pandemic. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/pharmacies-paid-reject-ivermectin-push-covid-shots/ Employee Sues Hospital That Fired Her for Reporting COVID Vaccine Injuries to VAERS
A physician’s assistant is suing a New York hospital system, alleging it violated the federal False Claims Act by failing to complete mandatory reporting to VAERS of injuries associated with the COVID-19 vaccine.
Conrad told The Defender, she hopes the lawsuit will lead to changes in how vaccine adverse events are reported.
“How can anybody trust the vaccine program when medical professionals are not adhering to the reporting requirements of the one system we have in place that is meant to assure us that these things are safe?” she asked. “I want policy change. I don’t care about the money, the vindication. I want to be able to trust the health system,” Conrad said...
..The hospital not only failed to report cases, it blocked Conrad from submitting approximately 170 reports of serious adverse events to VAERS between May 27 and Oct. 6, 2021, Conrad said.
The hospital system also failed to report over 12,000 adverse events, the complaint alleges.
Mendenhall said they estimated that number based on the number of people vaccinated at one of the healthcare facilities or another nearby clinic who then presented at the hospital for treatment for an injury that was likely linked to the vaccine. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/deborah-conrad-sues-hospital-fired-reporting-covid-vaccine-injuries-vaers/Steve Kirsch, Myocarditis rates increase 5X in Guernsey after COVID vax rollout

A 38-year-old cancer patient who developed COVID-19 was pressured five times in 24 hours to sign a DNR order. He refused, but he died after the hospital administered a combination of midazolam and morphine, usually reserved for end-of-life care, according to his wife who testified in Scotland’s COVID-19 inquiry. On a recent episode of his YouTube show, medical commentator John Campbell, Ph.D., shared the “absolutely tragic” testimony of Lianne Menzies about the death of her 38-year-old husband, Jamie, after he was diagnosed with COVID-19.
The segment is part of Campbell’s coverage of Scotland’s ongoing COVID-19 Inquiry, which includes testimony from government officials and Scottish citizens affected by the country’s COVID-19 response.
The independent inquiry, which concluded testimonies today after more than 50 days, is investigating failures in Scotland’s response — including how hospitals administered dangerous end-of-life protocols when they may not have been necessary.
When Jamie was admitted to the Monklands Hospital Airdrie in March 2020, he had been undergoing intense cancer treatment. Healthcare providers suspected he had contracted COVID-19.Given his cancer history, Jamie was asked to sign a DNR, which “terrified him,” Menzies said.
He refused, but the hospital staff continued to press him, asking him to sign the DNR five times within 24 hours. He refused each time and begged his wife never to sign one for him.
Such practices are “completely unacceptable,” said Campbell, who has a Ph.D. in nursing and over four decades of clinical experience. “We should not be terrifying our patients. This is not good clinical care.”
A doctor later diagnosed Jamie with COVID-19, but said he was improving. He was up and around, joking and seemed well in their Facetime chat, Menzies testified.
The next day, she said, hospital staff asked her if she understood that Jamie was going to die. They gave him midazolam, a strong benzodiazepine, to sleep. She was shocked. [Midazolam, “Versed” is a high-potency benzodiazepine, related to Xanax and Valium, injected to put people to sleep before general surgery. When Anesthesiologists commit suicide, their most favored method is to give themselves an IV of midazolam with fentanyl, which works like morphine.]
Campbell, whose previous show outlined the dangerous and often unnecessary combination of midazolam and morphine administered to many COVID-19 patients as “end-of-life” care, said he has never seen midazolam given to help someone sleep.
That night, Jamie and Lianne were married by the hospital chaplain. The next day, the staff called Lianne back to the hospital because “It was time.”
She said Jamie was screaming and terrified because he couldn’t breathe. They administered a rotation of midazolam and morphine and he died. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/38-year-old-cancer-patient-refused-dnr-covid-hospital-protocols-death/ We were right! The UK ONS (Office of National Statistics) now admit that deaths in the vaccinated were categorised as unvaccinated in 2021
The ONS denied it then but admit it now. [The pattern of the deaths following COVID “vaccinations” in the elderly, peaking when they got the shots, then tapering down, was attached to the “unvaccinated”, causing a glaring and unexplained graphical discrepancy, the meaning of which has now been admitted.] https://wherearethenumbers.substack.com/p/we-were-right-the-uk-ons-now-admit
