Besides being reactionary in its obsession with race and sexual identity, “woke” Hollywood just isn’t fun (or entertaining) anymore.
Even less fun for all of us was COVID-19, but for Hollywood, it was especially inconvenient because of the stringent California laws that the studios took to with alacrity. You had no career without mRNA certification. You were supposed to be vaccinated just to get on the studio lot.
The phone call I mentioned above was with a person who works in the entertainment industry and said they obtained—through connections—vaccination record cards for use by major Hollywood celebrities and others.
These aren’t counterfeits, but actual cards purloined from a hospital pharmacy where the vaccines were sold and included batch numbers but without names attached. In essence, they were contraband. ...
My interlocutor says they began selling the cards in early April 2021. Between then and early October 2021, calls were apparently coming in every day for contraband cards. ...
The celebrities for whom this person made these counterfeits were almost uniformly liberals or progressives, at least publicly. In other words, if you asked them, they supported mandates, masks, and so forth, sometimes adamantly. Behind the scenes was another matter.
The stories this person told me were amusing, nauseating, and, in some sense, edifying all at once. We’ve long known that Hollywood types are some of the most hypocritical people on the planet—living large while endlessly lecturing the little folk on climate and the rest—but this may take the proverbial cake.
Many of this person’s clients, I was told, were well aware of details of the growing concerns about potential side effects of the vaccines—particularly in the reproductive area. Not surprisingly then, the person estimated that 90 percent of the clients were female.
The Soros, Zuckerberg, and Koch Money at CPAC
Matt Schlapp has tried to reinvent the conservative conference as a hub of right-wing populism. But the billionaire dollars swirling around it tell a different story.
Records show that the American Conservative Union, which runs the Conservative Political Action Conference, has received significant funding from groups connected to billionaires George Soros and Mark Zuckerberg.
Matt Schlapp, the union’s chairman, has attempted to reinvent the conservative conference as a hub of right-wing populism. But the billionaire dollars swirling around it related to advocacy for criminal justice reform tell a different story.
The Open Society Foundations database shows that the Soros-run grantmaking network has given millions of dollars to the New Venture Fund over the years. According to its tax filings, the Venture Fund awarded a grant of $183,250 to the American Conservative Union in 2020 for “civil rights, social action, advocacy.” Searching “New Venture Fund” in the database returns results for 95 grants from the Open Society Foundations dating back to 2016.

Under the title “43-Year Secret of Sabotage: Mission to Subvert Carter is Revealed,” Peter Baker reports the eleventh-hour revelation, by Texas pol Ben Barnes (a Democrat), that, in the 1980 presidential race, Team Reagan, fearing that Jimmy Carter might somehow succeed in freeing the Americans held hostage in Iran (an “October Surprise” that would ensure his re-election), covertly—and illegally—convinced Iran to keep the hostages locked up until Election Day, by promising to arm Iran with missiles (shipped through Israel).
In fact, the hostages were held for months beyond Election Day—specifically, until January 20, 1981, when Reagan was inaugurated with much lavish pomp (by deliberate contrast with Carter’s no-frills entry into office four years earlier, he being the first new president to walk to the White House from the Capitol). The moment stirred excitement for two reasons: Reagan’s installation, and the hostages’ release just hours before. Those two events were pointedly commingled by the media, the networks cutting back and forth between the ceremonial in Washington and the hostages’ air journey home, and the print press following suit, so that the two “dramas” seemed to be related—not (of course) as they really were related, but in a way less rational, and far more flattering to Reagan’s image. When the hostages’ plane finally landed minutes after Reagan’s speech, it seemed as if they had been freed because he was now president—a propaganda masterstroke suggesting that Team Reagan had arranged that most propitious timing with the Revolutionary Guards.
How Fauci’s Wife Used NIH Role of Chief Ethicist to Bolster Her Husband’s Pandemic Policies
While Dr. Anthony Fauci gave the nation its pandemic public policy prescriptions, his wife, Christine Grady, Ph.D. — chief bioethicist at Fauci’s employer, the National Institutes of Health — provided the moral framework.
Lol, a very unethical "bioethicist".
For her efforts to report injuries to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) and to educate others in her hospital system on doing the same, Physician Assistant Deborah Conrad said she was labeled an anti-vaxxer and fired from her job.
Today, the New York-based Conrad tells her story at medical freedom conferences throughout the country, the most recent being one in Mississippi where physicians, scientists, and the vaccine injured warned state lawmakers to pull the COVID-19 vaccines from the market.
Conrad told The Epoch Times she began to see early danger signals in 2021 upon the vaccine rollout, and with that, resistance among her colleagues to report on them.
“After the vaccines came out, there was this uptick in unusual symptoms, some of which I had never seen in my 20-year career,” Conrad said. “In every case, it was in somebody who had received the COVID-19 vaccine.” ...
“I was then told that by doing VAERS reports and even discussing VAERS that it was an admission that the vaccines were unsafe, so it’s contributing to vaccine hesitancy,” Conrad said.
From there, it became a “very hostile environment” that compelled her to seek legal counsel, who wrote letters to the Department of Health, the CDC, and the FDA.
“No one cared,” Conrad said. “Finally, I had had it. It was so unethical; I couldn’t take it anymore. These VAERS reports are critical to assuring these vaccines are safe for us all. I could no longer be a part of a system that is lying to the American people.”
Conrad decided to become a whistleblower, telling her story on Del Bigtree’s The Highwire, knowing, she said, that it would cost her job.
“I couldn’t remain silent, even if it meant losing my career and everything I worked for,” she said. “I was fired a few weeks later and walked out like a criminal in front of all my peers.”
A chunky cop, around 50, with a graying blonde buzzcut assigned to New Brunswick on one election day told me and the other attorneys that he was about to retire. Seated and smiling, he boasted that he had spent the past three years very actively patrolling and ticketing in that college town. He explained that his pension would be based on his final three years of wages and that, by working abundant overtime during those years, he could boost his income and thereby pad his pension. He said that he targeted college students because students loved to challenge tickets. Cops testify against those whom they ticket. They’re paid, at overtime rates, for their court time, most of which was spent waiting for their cases to be heard. He said that many cops bulked up their pensions by doing what he was doing.
It angered, but didn’t surprise, me that people charged with enforcing the law proudly gamed the system and gleefully harassed others for personal gain.
Early physician reimbursements were in line with other vaccines, though the USG interestingly paid more for the second dose. Then the payment per dose rose to $40 in March 2021
Vaccinating during a house call got you $75.50
The incentives for doctors got much higher for a) recalcitrant patients and b) higher percentages taking a COVID shot--up to $250 per patient!!
Truly sickening and I am embarrassed for my profession by this
California dangled $350 million to increase vaccinations in its unvaxxed medicaid population on Aug. 6, 2021--right after Walensky admitted it didn't stop transmission
FOIAed email from FDA's #2 vaccine regulator to the FDA Commissioner reiterates that the Commissioner (and/or the #1 vax regulator) believed mandates of EUA vaccines were illegal
This is the proof that a bait and switch took place: FDA improperly issued a COVID vax license in order to impose mandates. This needs to be part of the litigation
and i suspect we may be dealing with an amoral few happy to set fires all over town so that the police are busy while the rob the bank.
because one thing is certain: the best way to keep you from responding to depredations and incursions into your life and livelihood is to keep you in acute distress elsewhere.
no one is paying a ton of attention to policies about internet censorship when their kid just came how from school having learned that the second law of thermodynamics is a patriarchal plot to prevent racial equality and ravage the earth with climate change so that no one can have free healthcare. cuz fascism.
the original el gato malo (who alas is no longer with us) was a savannah cat of astonishing cunning. there was nothing he loved more than ham. one day i was eating a ham sandwich in my home office. he arrived and started seeking to eat it. i told him no. so he walked over and knocked over my water bottle so it was pouring into my printer. when i jumped up to grab the bottle, he grabbed the sandwich and made his getaway.
how many times has this been done to us of late?
how many times have we been threatened on some orthogonal axis so that a prize may be grabbed from us while we are distracted?
how many times was the real fight about tightening the ratchet of control while we were fixated on some outrage or supposed safety?
i’m not sure we can possibly know and that would certainly be the desired outcome in such a system as epistemological evisceration would seem to be a feature not a bug in this product of “grand theft society” by technocratic totalitarians bent on lives of lavish legal plunder and ant farm social control.
what is the aim is to keep us too busy fighting evil clowns to cotton on?
i doubt very much that this can ever be untangled. it’s too deep, too wide, and too pervasive. it’s just everywhere and it’s a bewildering mix of a priori intent and unconscious evolved practice.
trying to parse it is a fool’s errand.
the good news is that we don’t have to because whatever the answer, the solution is the same: take power away from the state.
this is the fundamental moral case for liberty, libertarianism, and the primacy of rights and free organization. ...
the simple fact is that this is the inevitable end result of a state with the power to determine that which is bought and sold, to demand credential to allow the practice of professions, and to license everything from dogs to lemonade stands. this is what happens when liberty and property are privleges and not inalienable rights.
this is the price of “but we just need to do my special important thing to protect you!”
the wild communal incohesion and dissolution is not some failure of freedom, it’s the path to predation by plunderers.
this is not safety, it’s servitude.
and this is the mindset we need to get away from.
it’s nothing but a societal sinkhole trying to pass itself off as civilization.
Why do you think pharma and defense industry are the primary ad buys? Do you think that a commercial for the new cholesterol drug makes any difference to sales for the pharmaceutical industry when it’s a doctor who has to prescribe it? Do you think Northrop Grumman makes any extra sales of weapon systems by putting ads on a news channel? No these are legal ways for the government to pass along money to news media with out it being “government funded”. Tucker pissed off the government so the government got rid of tucker.
Federal, state, and local governments provide $764.7 billion or $15,120 per pupil to fund K-12 public education.
this is in excess of $300,000 per class of 20. so, sorry, but no possible way this is an “insufficient funding” problem. the unions are skimming something like 10% of this right off the top for themselves and for kickbacks to politicians in the form of donation and PAC’s to maintain their monopoly on public funded ed. the rest is going to the sort of administrative bloat that replaces AP math with a third DEI obersturmführer with designs on proving that biology class is a form of patriarchy.
The Director of Women's Studies at CSUEB makes "Real Dr. Fauci" required reading, very interesting article:
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/lynn-comerford-the-real-anthony-fauci-required-reading-students-csueb/
"Comerford noted that as part of the $2 trillion federalCoronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/coronavirus/about-the-cares-act ,U.S. colleges and universities https://www.ncsl.org/state-legislatures-news/details/higher-education-provisions-in-cares-act were allocated billions of dollars on the precondition that they complied with COVID-19 mandates.
In another example, she said,Yale University https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/my-day-at-yale received, in 2022 alone, $607 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), compared to $475 million in student tuition. Indeed, since 1998,Yale has received https://www.independent.org/news/article.asp?id=14367 $9 billion from HHS — $1 billion of which has been disbursed since 2020."
When Colleges Accept Golden Handcuffs from the Medical Cartel...
Rutgers has been captured ...
If you’re wondering if universities like Rutgers are willing to bite the hand that feeds them, consider Rutgers’ efforts to drive COVID policy since that time:
Rutgers Doubles Down on “Obey To Play” COVID Policies Despite Science

... You can see a thread of headlines demonstrating all the ways the university has worked to push vaccines and fight vaccine hesitancy and “misinformation” here. ...
Do we really want to trust the minds of the future to these institutions?
The Twitter community outed two Gen-Z shills paid to promote old-man Biden and it was beautiful to behold, my friends!
... In late 2022, Biden's campaign team connected with young social media influencers, including Harry Sisson, to draw in voters ages 18-29.

Sisson recently signed with Palette management. Palette received more than 200k from the DNC in the last 8 months.

In the past, paid actors could get away with the grift because the fAcT-cHecKers and social media were there to prop up the Democratic Party.
That doesn't work in free-speech land, where you get to be objectively analyzed by everyone under a microscope!
In a different place (Aristotle's "Politics") I read that corruption is reduced when the community all knows each other and eats together.

One idea is that children should be taught virtue and to be opposed to corruption starting from an early age.
The House Oversight Committee revealed Wednesday that more than $1 million flowed from a corrupt Romanian businessman to the Biden family while then-Vice President Joe Biden paid lip service to cleaning up corruption in the Eastern European nation.
“While Vice President Biden was lecturing Romania on anti-corruption policy, in reality he was a walking billboard for his son and family to collect money,” committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said at a morning press conference.
By fall 2021, I no longer recognized New York.
It had vaccine passes and mask mandates and a crazy-eyed governor telling unvaccinated people they weren’t “listening to God and what God wants.” (Apparently God wanted New York to pay $600 million for Covid tests to one of the governor’s biggest donors, too.)

"Stern and lasting message" my ass. Only life in prison will do. Singapore is a much better country than the US in this way.
