Amen. Keep the X. It shows exactly how little tptb value any human life. I am glad C&C is getting a broader viewing base. But if you get triggered or have to tell people they aren't your version of what you think is Christian, go to Mastodon. We are adults. You don't have to agree on everything. I am wondering if some are trolls placed to suppress discourse and to shame people. Classic leftist troll tactics. Keep up the good work Jeff! 👏 👍

There are people who are sensitive souls who are conservatives. I happen to one of them. Honestly, I hope there are a lot of us!

While I appreciate Jeff's approach and don't want him to change, sometimes I want to pass on a post to someone I believe could use it, but I stop to consider whether that person, not knowing his style, might be offended. I want to encourage you to not dismiss the people writing on this topic to Jeff as being insincere as he describes their emails as "sincere, private, well-intended".

God didn't make us all alike and I'm so glad he didn't. I couldn't be someone in the front lines like nurses I know seeing so much traumatic stuff, but I listen to people's hearts and offer comfort in a way I've been told few people do. It is a gift of being a sensitive, compassionate person, but it also overwhelms me at times.

We each have our own style and gifts and someone isn't a leftist troll just because they may find the X heartbreaking and not instantly appreciate what Jeff intended. It took me awhile. I would see the X at times and it would pierce my heart and I'd just have to stop a moment before I could read on. I think that is part of the purpose, but for people with hearts that already deeply feel the world's sorrow, imagine how this may strike them.

I'm not one of those who wanted Jeff to change about this, I actually think it is very effective, especially for people more calloused. But try to appreciate that our strength is in having people with varying personalities and approaches all on the same side, so there's no need to criticize those who find the X too much.

I am also a sensitive person. But the world is often a brutal place, and those of us who are sensitive have a responsibility to deal with that just like everyone else. Everyone has something that is hard to deal with, and expecting everyone else to adjust is unreasonable.

Let Jeff be who he is. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Assume good intentions until you have evidence otherwise. And deal with your issues. The world doesn’t revolve around any of us.

Agreed. The point I hoped to make was that it's okay for someone to privately message Jeff (or whoever else) about their take that may be tender-hearted. It's not being a troll. He can do with it what he will, but it's not a bad thing that we have different temperaments and perspectives. And, hey, it's useful to know! I have found such value in learning how to interact with different people by paying attention to perspectives such as these.

Censorship is censorship even if done in a really nice voice. I applaud their speaking up, but there is a public forum here to do so. To behind the scenes try to shame you into compliance with their view of right, wrong and decent is odd in this context. I’m perhaps a little dull and I don’t always get all the nuances of a particular gesture. I just see the x as a reference for who in the picture is no longer with us…possibly due to something that caused it.

IMO the charitable interpretation is that they didn't want to publicly insult him by airing their greivances - the Bible does say that if you have something against a brother, go to him privately first. So I would take it in that vein especially as Jeff described them as sincere.

I agree 100%. I look for the X as it gives me a heads up on whether or not the person has passed. Our weakness on such matters - not offending anyone - is why we as conservatives are in this predicament. For example, “Oh we can’t say there are two sexes, that will offend someone.” We have gone along to get along too long! It has contributed greatly to the demise of our values and our freedoms. It’s time we stand together and say, LOOK WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!! The X shows it,

Steph D's avatar

I thought the same Barbls. I agree with Jeff about the end times. The scriptures are the authority on this. We should keep our heads and our faith. I

For example, I was listening to a sermon this morning about how the King in the book of Daniel disciplined the people to pay taxes, worship his god and fall in line by sending officers into the homes of certain people and took their sons away. The children were taken and re-educated. They were also castrated. These were to serve on the kings court and trusted among the women since they were without a sex drive. They were called eunuchs then, but now are termed transgenders.

As a reminder, all mRNA is unsafe. The good Lord created our bodies with robust mechanisms to recognize and destroy any non-self-proteins found inside our bodies, as well as destroy any cell that created such non-self-proteins.

Once the mRNA in a jab gets inside a cell in your body, it causes your cell to generate a non-self-protein, which by God's design marks that cell for violent destruction by "complement" (killer system #2 in body).

So all mRNA stuff is unsafe, as God intended, yet the criminals involved were just awarded a Nobel Prize. Is a crazy world we are living in these days, and everyone needs to keep their guard up.

Easy-to-understand explanation by a legit expert = 00:45-22:00+ of https://rumble.com/v1p3855-friday-roundtable-worrying-developments-with-michael-palmer-m.d.-sucharit-b.html.

And don’t forget the DNA and SV40 that was found in the jabs. Naomi Wolf has been great at exposing all the harms, as well as, Del Bigtree on The Highwire. Dr. Makis is an oncologist from Canada, who has lost his position, and he is doing his best to expose the growth in Turbo cancers. He is on Substack and has been doing many interviews. He recommends doing a search on Go Fund Me and looking at all the young people, who are trying to raise money due to a cancer diagnosis.

john's avatar

Agree, those are important concerns that we all need to be aware of as well.

That said, most ppl seem unaware that all mRNA stuff is unsafe, not just the covid jabs. This is because almost no hosts with large audiences highlight this issue, which will soon affect our children, since all childhood vaccines are now being converted to mRNA jabs (w/o having to pass honest/appropriate testing).

Jeff C's avatar

It's a long list:

- Inherent toxicity of the lipid nanoparticle itself

- Inherent toxicity of the resulting spike protein itself

- No modification to the mRNA sequence to detoxify the resulting spike protein

- Autoimmunity from tricking the cells to produce a foreign protein

- No body "off switch" due to the mRNA pseudo-uridine substitution

- Cellular machinery blowing through the stop codon from misreading the mRNA's pseudo-uridine

- Potential reverse transcription of the mRNA into the genome

- Contamination of the mRNA from DNA plasmids used in the manufacturing process

- Potential incorporation of the DNA plasmid remnants into the genome

Every one of these has solid evidence behind it (studies from credible people in the field) and that's just off the top of my head. Add on top of that other really strange stuff like the presence of SV40 promoter and it's mind boggling.

Yet the entire world was supposed to line up and have themselves injected with this stuff due to a virus with a 99.8% survival rate. Plus if you were under 50 and in reasonable health your odds of death were almost infinitesimal.

Occam's razor would suggest the cause was simply criminal recklessness coupled with massive corruption. But that's a very unsatisfying explanation.

Edit: Forgot to mention that all the points above (aside from those specific to the spike protein) applies to *any* mRNA vaccine regardless of the antigen. The only ethical use of this technology IMO is for people in desperate situations like advanced cancer. However the market for that is small compared to 8 billion potential vax customers.

When I found out that the DoD was front and center in this 'vaccine' promotion, that cinched bio-weapon for me. And as Lawyer Childers pointed out, there has been non-stop talk in prominent circles about the absolute need for 'population reduction.' In Duck Theology circles, it would seem that intent has been blatantly stated.

My questions is: how many countries are captive to The Program? How many of the leadership of how many countries have simply been played as toe C19 the whole operation? We know a few African countries had very, very 'skeptical' leaders. And we know that Putin stopped mandate by oblast and municipal political leaders saying that forcing people to inject 'would not be very helpful.' Because of that, Russia is one of the least 'vaccinated' countries in the world (very close to 50/50. Globally, at least for me, the picture is very cloudy as to what's what.

Thanks for the note Porge, and let me add that as bad as these things are, being aware of them is a huge plus, because without understanding such problems, it will be nearly impossible to fix them.

===== may be of interest to help motivate people

Most of these verses came from Karen Kingston, author of substack on mRNA and childhood vaccines (NIV used below, interpretations are mine):

* Ephesians 5:6 = “Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.” {we must stop being deceived into thinking what is “evil” is “good”}

* John 8:32 = “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” {not seeking truth with due diligence leads to slavery}

* Matthew 18:6 = "If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” {protecting the innocent, especially children, is of utmost importance}

* Psalms 23:4 = “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. {we must not let fear be used as a weapon to deceive us}

Slight nit... it isn't SV40 in the plasmid DNA, it is the SV40 promoter from the SV40 DNA (SV40 is a DNA based virus). Promoters provide a place for enzymes to bind and start transcription. IOW, it controls gene expression. The promoter has other properties, but this would turn into a multiparagraph comment if I get into that, alas.

I mention this because I've seen several "there is no SV40 in the plasmid" types of retorts, and it is true there is no SV40 the virus there.

Yup. The presence of SV40 promoter is really damning as it is known for it's nucleus transport capabilities, that's its claim to fame. What in the world is it doing in there?

If you have not read this article by Jikkyleaks I highly recommend it. Point #3 addresses SV40 promoter. Jikky walks through five different aspects of the mRNA vax (and its plasmid DNA contamination) that seem designed to promote genome integration.

Therefore, do not throw away that confidence of yours, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

For yet in a very little while,

He who is coming will come, and will not delay.

But My righteous one shall live by faith,

And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.

But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.

Pro Jabbers don't like these facts:

"The top most highly Covid vaccinated nations in the OECD are in order Portugal, Chile, Canada, Iceland, New Zealand, Spain and Australia. Their average percentage of the population vaccinated is 91%. Their average rate of excess deaths so far in 2023 is 12% above the five year historical average.

The least Covid vaccinated nations in the OECD are Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Poland, Estonia, Czech Republic, Hungary and Switzerland. Their average percentage of the population vaccinated is just 63%. Their average rate of excess deaths so far in 2023 is 0% compared to the five year historical average. In other words, they have averaged a normal death rate.

Anyone who suggests that the death rate among the unvaccinated is higher than the vaccinated is running against the tide of evidence. This view doesn’t fit with the international data."

The Swiss had a lot of regulation at the local level, and didn’t fire anybody from their jobs for not getting the VAX.

BFM, I was watching a show with Dr. Drew and Ed Dowd last week and they were talking about the trends in excess mortality too. Dr. Drew invited someone from Twitter spaces who goes by the handle "Real Truth" (or something like that) and he insisted Ed Dowd's analysis is disproven based singularly on Sweden's mortality statistics since it is HIGHLY vaccinated and now has negative excess mortality. The commenters in Rumble are highly suspicious of this guy and think he's pretty much a pharma shill.

I think Sweden’s has been going up, plus, they had a long gap between getting infected and getting vaxxed during which their systems had time to calm down, so maybe less autoimmunity. In the US, infection was delayed for many by lockdowns.

These are some of my thoughts too. This "Real Truth" guy made a big deal on his Twitter feed about basically "owning" Ed Dowd because Ed couldn't explain away Sweden. Okay.

Could be the "pull-forward effect"; the rate was up during COVID due to people dying more than usual of various things, but because those people died already, they aren't around to affect the rate in the following years thus it's now less than average, except brought back up to ~zero by vaccine damage? Note that this is merely a hypothesis (though the pull-forward effect is a known phenomenon).

I love the ‘X’ on SADS reports. The contrast of a good picture of a person against the X reinforces for me, in every report, that evil people have taken yet another life and continue to cover it up and lie.

It is not pleasant but is NECESSARY to keep our minds and hearts focused on bringing Justice for those whose lives were taken all too soon by evil.

Having joined our County Women's Republican group last year in hopes of actually affecting change in politics at the local level, I can tell you that these groups (or at least my local group) are nothing more than social clubs. At the initial meeting - where they had the biggest crowd they had ever had because so many like-minded women showed up (all of us disillusioned and frustrated by the failure of our representatives to even raise objections to pandemic tyranny) - the governing board of the group proceeded to talk gleefully about upcoming pasta dinners, bake sales and barbeques. I am not kidding. When they opened the floor to questions, I stated in a somewhat incredulous manner, "I don't know if you all have been paying attention for the last couple of years, but we've been living under tyranny. We were told we couldn't go to church but we could go to the liquor store. We couldn't send out kids to school, but we were welcome to take them to Walmart. We had to cover our faces in public - obscuring our humanity - or risk ridicule and punishment. Our children are being consumed by a trans ideology that insists they must reject reality and use approved speech. Bake sales and pasta dinners may have been fine 20 years ago, but we are no longer living in those days. I came here today to figure out how we exert whatever power and influence we can, but I might have miscalculated the reason for this group's existence."

In a show of the disconnect between the leadership and the ladies in the seats, I received a loud round of applause and standing ovation but was rebuked by one of the board members. It was revealing at least.

So what did you do instead? For others reading this, there are so many options for those who want to band together:

- Start your own independent group

- Join or start a Republican Club sponsored by the Republican Party of your state (comes with some rules) or Federation of Republican Women local club

- Join your county Republican Party by volunteering and/or running for (or filling an empty seat for) Precinct Committeeman/woman

- Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida

- Florida Republican Assembly

- Volunteer as an individual doing whatever is your focus - county commission races, school choice laws, medical/health freedom laws, voter education/registration/turnout, etc.

This is a great question.

Thank you! So many of those seats are vacant; far too many. It will be what you make of it. As we approach 2024, get a list of voters in your precinct from the Supv of Elections (usu. can be either electronic or on paper or both). You may want to get all of them, not just Rs or Rs and Independents. You can make a few calls a day (will probably get voicemail, so it should only take a few minutes, typically) and let them know you're the new Precinct Committeewoman (or whatever title your state party uses) and that you're available to help them sort out which candidates, issues, and/or constitutional amendments (or whatever) are going to be on the ballot. If you get to speak to anyone, it can be educational; just ask them what issues they think the R Party should focus on and find out what's on their minds. Helping your county party register voters via booths at festivals, etc., or however they do it, would be appreciated, and then helping turn out the vote and/or poll watch or even work at the polls (this last requires applying via your county Supv of Elections). Thanks for being an active citizen - the heart and soul of a republic.

I absolutely find the X to be unsettling and disturbing. BUT... I have always taken it in the way you described, as an unconscionable consequence of evil. We should always be deeply disturbed by loss of human life, most especially when it was (at best) unnecessary, or (at worst) intentional. If I see an “unmarked” picture of a happy person or family, I don’t really pause to take in the essence of the picture. But when there is a glaring ugly ❌ through their face - you bet I am disturbed and take a pause to think about the reason behind it. I think each person deserves an extra thought(s) on their life, and a feeling of compassion for their surviving family. Are we really being human and all that comes with it, if we are not compelled to stop and consider another’s loss of life?
