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.

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.

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.

I've been listening to a podcast about ancient Greek ideas for reducing corruption.

One idea is that children should be taught virtue and to be opposed to corruption starting from an early age.

Another idea is that people with political power should be obligated to give up all their wealth in order to hold office. They would be supported by the state alone, so would have no use for bribery, as they would not be allowed to have their own money.

In a different place (Aristotle's "Politics") I read that corruption is reduced when the community all knows each other and eats together.

https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/what-if-your-body-produced-its-own

Imagine, just for a moment, for the sake of argument, that early in the COVIDcrisis it became clear that the major route of infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 was intranasal (but also oral and ocular infection), and that a simple nose wash (nasal lavage) with a dilute solution of stabilized Hypochlorous acid could drastically reduce the risk of disease and transmission associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Clinical endpoints which the much touted, highly promoted, and frequently mandated genetic Spike-based COVID vaccines never were able to achieve.

Surely this must be an imaginary parallel universe. There is no way that the US FDA would have blocked rather than expedited the availability of such lifesaving treatment using an inexpensive agent which is less toxic than povidone–iodine!

I am very sorry to tell you that what I am describing is not some parallel, dysfunctional universe in which the FDA has been transformed into a bootlicking sycophantic captured promoter of the commercial interests of the patented pharmaceutical industry, or yet another sordid example of the US Federal Imperial Administrative State making arbitrary and capricious decisions which have indirectly led to a large unnecessary loss of life. Unfortunately, as is often the case, both scenarios are clearly true in THIS universe.

Video (On UK Column): Money for Bad’s sake
An epidemic of fake money is just about the worst thing that can happen to a society, because it embraces the possibility of just about every other bad thing you can imagine.

JOHN WATERS
JUN 11, 2023

... ‘Money is not what it used to seem to be’ is the opening line in John Waters’ most recent article, ‘Fake Money as Cluster Bomb'. He argues that money has ceased, in a sense, to be real, and has become instead a chimera. It is, in effect, a strange sort of weapon used to coerce our societies to morph into the form chosen not by the people but by bureaucrats in think tanks and international institutions.

When governments used to say, ‘There is no money, we cannot do that,’ money remained real. Now, all reality is gone and the impossible becomes possible. Political will is no longer restrained. This has a profoundly corrupting effect. ...

Waters writes that ‘smirking scoundrels’ rule over us only because of the falsity of what has replaced real money. As a result, we have a society of lies where morals are inverted. Evil has become good and black has become white. The destruction of our civilisation has become a profitable business.

John Waters concludes that there are indeed links between these three things: money, perverted desire and evil.

The Federal Reserve must be completely eliminated and we must return to physical metal silver coins by weight alone, not by "dollars" or other such fictions.

https://tobyrogers.substack.com/p/words-and-definitions-for-understanding

We live in an era where mainstream society does violence to language. Mainstream society assaults language to the point where words no longer have any meaning. Then they proceed to do violence to people because if words have no meaning then it becomes impossible to hold anyone to account. Examples include toxic injections described as “safe & effective”, riots described as “mostly peaceful”, and surgical castration of autistic children referred to as “gender affirming care”.

One can generally spot the captured words because they look, feel, and sound Orwellian and are usually the result of extensive market research and focus group testing by Pharma (and other corporate) public relations firms.

If we are to survive, we absolutely must take language back from the postmodernists in the mainstream media, in the three letter agencies (CDC, FDA, NIH), and in academia.

The use of these fraudulent phrases must end with us. We must refuse to ever utter them because they are lies. We must always speak the blunt truth instead:

dangerous and ineffective
violent BLM riots

“It's like a horror movie I'm being forced to watch and I can't close my eyes,” one senior FDA official lamented. “People are getting bad advice and we can’t say anything.”

By Marty Makary M.D., M.P.H. and Tracy Beth Høeg, MD, PhD

July 14, 2022

That particular FDA doctor was referring to two recent developments inside the agency. First, how, with no solid clinical data, the agency authorized Covid vaccines for infants and toddlers, including those who already had Covid. And second, the fact that just months before, the FDA bypassed their external experts to authorize booster shots for young children.

That doctor is hardly alone.

At the NIH, doctors and scientists complain to us about low morale and lower staffing: The NIH’s Vaccine Research Center has had many of its senior scientists leave over the last year, including the director, deputy director and chief medical officer. “They have no leadership right now. Suddenly there’s an enormous number of jobs opening up at the highest level positions,” one NIH scientist told us. (The people who spoke to us would only agree to be quoted anonymously, citing fear of professional repercussions.)

The CDC has experienced a similar exodus. “There’s been a large amount of turnover. Morale is low,” one high level official at the CDC told us. “Things have become so political, so what are we there for?” Another CDC scientist told us: “I used to be proud to tell people I work at the CDC. Now I’m embarrassed.”

Why are they embarrassed? In short, bad science.

The longer answer: that the heads of their agencies are using weak or flawed data to make critically important public health decisions. That such decisions are being driven by what’s politically palatable to people in Washington or to the Biden administration. And that they have a myopic focus on one virus instead of overall health.

Nowhere has this problem been clearer—or the stakes higher—than on official public health policy regarding children and Covid.

First, they demanded that young children be masked in schools. On this score, the agencies were wrong. Compelling studies later found schools that masked children had no different rates of transmission. And for social and linguistic development, children need to see the faces of others.

Next came school closures. The agencies were wrong—and catastrophically so. Poor and minority children suffered learning loss with an 11-point drop in math scores alone and a 20% drop in math pass rates. There are dozens of statistics of this kind.

Then they ignored natural immunity. Wrong again. The vast majority of children have already had Covid, but this has made no difference in the blanket mandates for childhood vaccines. And now, by mandating vaccines and boosters for young healthy people, with no strong supporting data, these agencies are only further eroding public trust.

One CDC scientist told us about her shame and frustration about what happened to American children during the pandemic: “CDC failed to balance the risks of Covid with other risks that come from closing schools,” she said. “Learning loss, mental health exacerbations were obvious early on and those worsened as the guidance insisted on keeping schools virtual. CDC guidance worsened racial equity for generations to come. It failed this generation of children.”

An official at the FDA put it this way: “I can’t tell you how many people at the FDA have told me, ‘I don't like any of this, but I just need to make it to my retirement.’” ...

“It seems criminal that we put out the recommendation to give mRNA Covid vaccines to babies without good data. We really don’t know what the risks are yet. So why push it so hard?” a CDC physician added. A high-level FDA official felt the same way: “The public has no idea how bad this data really is. It would not pass muster for any other authorization.”
